    The National Golden Games took part in Port Elizabeth this week, with two Grahamstown senior citizens taking part.

    Over 1 000 athletes from across the country took part to promote and increase sporting participation among senior citizens of 60 years and older.

    the events included soccer, pass the ball, ring the stick, 100m sprints, and 800m and 500m brisk walks.
    Anthony Groats and George Welcome, both of Grahamstown, represented the Eastern Cape in the event which saw all provinces except KwaZulu-Natal taking part.

    Groats took part in the 800m walk, finishing third overall, while Welcome finished third in the 500m brisk walk for the over 70s.

    Groats was the only local to take part in last year’s provincial event between the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape.

    For the selection of this year’s team, the locals took part in the Makana/Ndlambe zonal event in Grahamstown.

    The top achievers then travelled to Humansdorp for the Cacadu champs and then the provincial side was chosen in East London.

    Hilton Adonis of the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, Grahamstown branch, who was with the Cacadu side, said the event was going well, despite the windy conditions.

    By yesterday morning, Adonis said the Eastern Cape side was lying second overall and with only soccer matches left he said the side should manage to keep their second spot.
