GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - In their away fixture against Victoria Park High School recently, Union High School’s first rugby team won their encounter 40-22.

The boys showed good ability to keep possession and the linking play between backs and forwards was again an effective part of their arsenal.

The Union try scorers were Matthew Broeksma, Terrance Siyaya, Olwethu Ngcai, Gary Shell and Breyton Damons (2).

Matt Harpur converted five of the six tries.

Man of the match was undoubtedly open-side flank Michael Krige. He carried the ball with tremendous power and his work rate on defence was unrivalled. He is often an unsung hero but, in this game, he certainly made his presence felt.

Both wings, Breyton and Olwethu, also made many positive contributions. Their pace and finishing skills left the opposition grasping at thin air.

All fifteen players fulfilled their role effectively to allow the team to implement what was planned and pull off a satisfying victory.

Other results:
U.14s lost 21 – 24, U.15s lost 7 – 29, U.16s lost 21 – 23 and the school’s second team won 57 – 5.
