Despite Union’s valiant efforts, Graeme College owned the field, winning nine out of the derby’s ten contests, with their 1st XV concluding the day’s play with a 43-3 victory.
Union’s u/11A team, however, was the shining highlight of the day, winning 26-10. Kudos to all the u/11 players who fearlessly endured bruises by taking big tackles.
Unfortunately, Union High School’s other teams didn’t achieve the same level of success.
