Lydies hosts Stars in Spikes
In less than two weeks the Lowveld's most talented athletes will fight for ultimate glory at the annual Interprimary Athletics Meeting hosted by Lydenburg Primary.
Athletes from Nelspruit Primary, Bergland, Laeveld, Barberton, Nelspruit, White River, and Lydies will undoubtedly want to prove that they are the golden stars in the Lowveld.
Lydies, which will host this spectacular event for the first time in seven years, recently announced the theme for this year’s interprimary, Stars in Spikes.
“This day gives our athletes and supporters the opportunity to shine. We want to thank our main sponsor, Obaro, that had to dig deep in their pockets. We as school also appreciate the various participating schools that have to drive all the way down to join us in good spirit,” said the headmaster of Lydenburg, Cornelus Lemmer.
Tickets are already available at the participating schools and sell for R20.

Lydenburg started as the Voortrekkerskool in 1851 with only 15 pupils. 166 years later, the school has grown to
1 345 pupils, and is seen as one of the oldest schools in the Lowveld.
More or less 800 athletes and 1 500 supporters are expected to fill Hoërskool Lydenburg Sport Stadium on Friday, February 17.
The athletes will march onto the field at 07:15, and the cheerleaders will make their appearance at 10:00.
