This past Saturday, Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s junior ๐ง๐ข๐ฃ ๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฆ girls traveled to Gqeberha, where they faced off against their counterparts from Summerwood Primary School.

๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ to the girls who emerged victorious, finishing the encounter with a total of 81 games, outpacing Summerwood’s 73.
On Monday afternoon 24 February, our top 12 senior tennis players took part in a fun and speedy fixture against Hoรซrskool Middelburg. Only singles matches were played and each player had exactly 30 minutes to play as many games as possible.
Our top 6 girls once again showed off their skills and tenacity, beating Middelburg by 40 matches! Unfortunately, our top 6 boys were unable to do the same, and they lost by 20 matches.ย ย
Overall the margin from the girlsโ victory was large enough to make Union the overall winner with a total of 61 matches against Middelburgโs 41 matches. Well done to our players who played on very warm courts but still managed to show good sportsmanship and good manners to our visitors!ย
This past Friday morning, 7 February, Union High School’s Top 4 senior boys’ and girls’ tennis players set off for the Van Niekerk and Koen Tennis Tournament in Burgersdorp.
Over the two days that followed, the team faced off against competitors from Middelburg, Burgersdorp, De Aar, Cradock and Hoรซrskool Jim Fouchรฉ.

The boys had two remaining doubles matches against the second teams of Burgersdorp and Jim Fouchรฉ. They triumphed over Burgersdorp, winning 12-2, but faced defeat against Jim Fouchรฉ, losing 5-9.

This achievement earned them a spot in the semi-finals, where they faced Jim Fouchรฉ again. Unfortunately, Union lost this round by a narrow margin of eight games. However, due to their strong performance in the previous day’s matches, they advanced to the final round against De Aar.
The players had to start their matches immediately without a warm-up, which, combined with high stress levels, led to poor decision-making and unnecessary mistakes. De Aar ultimately claimed the trophy, winning four out of the six matches played in the final round.
