“Middelburg, Middelburg, Middelburg…”

’n Groen golf gaan sing dat die silo’s oorkant die pad begin bewe

A newspaper spread features various sports photos, including field hockey, netball, and rugby. Athletes are in action, celebrating victories, and embracing. The title at the top is bold, surrounded by columns of text and small advertisements on the sides, conveying a dynamic sporting event atmosphere.
So het die Middelburg Observer oor een van die suksesvolle derby dae berig.

En toe raak die skare mal!
Daar gaan Saterdag “Middelburg, Middelburg, Middelburg” op die pawiljoene gedreun word, wanneer Hoërskool se groen golf sy stem laat hoor.
Hoe het Gerhard Viviers altyd uitgesaai? “Man maar dis mooi, dis mooi!”

Aan die een kan gaan ’n see van rooi wees en aan die anderkant groen, alles groen.
Ons wil so lekker voorgereg voorsit net om Middelburgers te herinner wat wag.
Hierdie keer is dit nie die Rooi Bul wat kom nie, maar dit is “Middelburg, Middelburg, Middelburg…”.
En natuurlik is dit Hoërskool Middelburg.

Ja-nee, die gees loop hoog vir die week se derbyverrigtinge en Saterdag se hoofgereg wanneer die eerstespanne mekaar pak op die sportvelde van MKiddies.

Die derby tussen Middelburg Hoërskool en Hoër Tegniese Skool Middelburg is al dekadeslank ’n instelling in Middelburg. In aanloop tot Saterdag se rugby kragmeting, hou die Middies die week ’n lekker geesvangweek. Hierdie video is van ‘n vorige jaar tydens die derby geneem, waar Middies hul skoollied uit volle bors sing.
