The Newcastle Highlanders played their fourth friendly match of the season on Friday night and on Saturday afternoon.
With 70 players (men and women) having attending practices, squads of 25 players per team were fielded for these games.
Highlanders won three games, with the men’s team taking on Volksrust and then the Flying Eagles while the women’s team also won its match against the Bears.
“The future of the club is looking good,” commented coaching director, André Swanepoel. “A lot of young talented men and women have joined.”
