Based on action and technique, this sport definitely gained quite a few new admirers. Apart from the kick-boxing, there were tug of war, volleyball and rugby. These three sports made for great fun and hilarious moments, especially since there weren’t really any rules.

During one of the “rugby matches” a player casually commented, to no one in particular, “I do not have a clue what’s going on here!” It was good to see the young people in the community, as well as those not so young, play like children.

The organisers, Brandt and Lindie Ehlers, conveyed a special thank you to everyone in the community for their support and participation. “We will definitely do this again in 2016. We intend for this to become an annual sports festival where business people and anyone involved in sport get the opportunity to promote what they have on offer. A special thank you to our main sponsor, Quality Panelbeaters.”
