GRAAFF-REINET RUGBY NEWS - Union High School's u. 13A rugby team recently travelled to East London to participate in the 10th annual Grens Sport Festival.
This tour marked the start of a very busy rugby season and served as a great opportunity for Union's youngsters to find their feet while playing competitive rugby against some of the best schools in East London.
After a lengthy bus ride on Friday, the group of excited rugby players faced off against Lilyfontein Primary in what proved to be a challenging encounter. The Union players played with determination and managed to win the encounter 26 - 5.
Saturday morning's first fixture against George Randell Primary School was extremely physical and was unfortunately one step too far for the Union boys, who went down 12 - 24.
In the team's last fixture of the festival, they faced a formidable Gonubie Primary School team.
This match exceeded all expectations, as the Union boys played exceptional rugby, punching way above their weight to win the match 31 - 12.
