Due to space, Alberton also hosted some of the 21 different sporting codes in which the South, North and East regions were all represented.<\/p>\n

Touch-rugby, netball, volleyball, athletics and soccer were played at the Germiston Stadium and the Delville Sports Club.<\/p>

Delville South Road was closed on the day and used as a track for runners and power walkers.<\/p>\n

Family members and friends were present to support and cheer on the athletes.<\/p>\n

All the different teams had started practising in July for this sporting event, and the first-class level of play, witnessed by spectators, was a testament to this.<\/p>\n

The different regions were kitted out in different colours in each of the sporting codes.<\/p>\n

The teams were playing against each other one after the other, but they all had enough energy and were ready to take on each other.<\/p>\n

Sport was the order of the day and the participants all had a blast as they battled each other.<\/p>\n
