GRAAFF-REINET NEWS — This past weekend Union High School hosted another very successful Junior Rugby and Hockey Festival.
The 18th Annual Anne Beagley Junior Rugby and Hockey Festival was opened by Yvette Cloete (HOD) on the Union Puttick field on Saturday, July 1.
Twenty-nine rugby and hockey teams marched across the field, proudly displaying their school banners in a moving ceremony.
Teams from as far afield as Somerset West, Komga, Grahamstown, East London and Port Elizabeth, competed on both the rugby and hockey fields.
Parents and friends were treated to displays of talent, skill and sportsmanship by many young sports stars of the future and an atmosphere of healthy competition and friendly rivalry prevailed.
Anne Beagley’s vision 18 years ago was to create an opportunity for brother and sister schools from cities, to come and experience a weekend of Karoo hospitality and friendship.
This has certainly been achieved.
The visiting scholars enjoyed the fresh Karoo air and fun activities in a safe environment while their coaches and parents enjoyed the culinary expertise of a group of dedicated Union High School parents, as well as the hospitality of the Old Unionite Association.
Union wishes to once again thank their dedicated sponsors, College Motors, Hyundai, Caltex and Powerade for their contribution to the Union sports festivals. Without their support, a festival of this magnitude will surely not be possible.
Thanks are also extended to all the rugby and hockey teams that travelled far and wide to attend the Union Festival.
