YEAR 9 RUGBY COMPETITIVE DEBUT… After previous friendly fixtures, Unity College’s year 9 boys’ rugby team travelled to Audenshaw in the first round of the Lancashire Cup. Unity handed debuts to three new players in a challenging fixture against a school unbeaten in recent weeks. Whilst the result didn’t go in Unity’s favour, the boys fought hard in the second half to ensure that they left with their heads held high. #SecondHalfFightback #UnityPassionRespect
