KOMANI’S Maria Louw High School held their annual school sports awards at the school’s hall in Komani on Tuesday last week.
These prestigious awards were to recognise outstanding achievements by the school’s learners in a range of sports.

The school also has two players who were selected as part of the u/14 Eastern Cape Cricket team that will take part in the National Summer Cricket Games in Johannesburg in December.
“I want to salute our learners and say to them that the vigour and strength they possess in displaying their sporting skills and abilities, as well as their talent, is much appreciated by the school,” concluded Fani.
