POLOKWANE – Laerskool Pietersburg Noord Primary recently went on two rugby tours.

The previous month the teams took part in the Mariepskop 7’s rugby tournament where they competed against Laerskool Tzaneen, Pietersburg Laerskool, Laerskool Mariepskop, Laerskool Witrivier and Laerskool Lydenburg.
The u/10s won the tournament and the u/11s ended in third place while the u/13B team came second and the u/13A team also finished second.
The boys were accompanied by their coaches and teachers Christian Liebenberg, Greg Schoeman, JP Swarts and Johan Geldenhuys who trained them well prior to the trip.
Christian told Review that rugby provides a unifying spirit that leads to lifelong friendships, teamwork and loyalty that transcends cultural and religious differences which is what the Noordkool boys have learned and adopted.
“Well done to our boys for doing so well in all tournaments. They were well behaved during the trips and we urge them to keep up with such positive energies and good winning spirits,” Christian said.
