The event was held at Germiston Stadium from October 28 to 29.
The youngsters represented the CoE in football, netball, rugby, basketball, athletics, and chess.
The event was organised by the Gauteng Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture to encourage a more organised sporting programme from the ward level.
This is to also help contribute to having healthy communities as well as decreasing the social ills that plague communities such as drugs and teenage pregnancies.
