They echoed the same views about taking sport to the people of Middelburg and adjacent towns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was really worrying and disappointing to hear from people from Noupoort in the Northern Cape that they didn\u2019t know where this institution was located, I mean we are just about 42km from their town but they don\u2019t know about us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cApparently they started to hear of this college through rugby, as the only sport that we have been dominating through the years,\u201d explained coach Sekwadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
