\n A<\/span> SKYDIVING Easter bunny, action-packed beach sports and kiddies fun galore will keep holiday-makers entertained at the first J\u2019Bay Beach Carnival this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouga Executive Mayor Horatio Hendricks said the bulk of the action will take place at Dolphin Beach, Jeffreys Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe programme includes the inaugural Je\u2019Vista One Touch tournament, the first-ever beach netball tourney of its kind in South Africa and a feast of children\u2019s activities, which young ones will be able to enjoy for free on the Saturday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFootball fans are also in for a treat, with the J\u2019Bay Easter Tournament taking place at the Tokyo Sexwale Sports Stadium and Jeffreys Bay Comprehensive High School for the duration of the long weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnival kicks off on Friday, April 19, with the Kouga Beach Netball Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is netball as never before seen in South Africa,\u201d said Anina Vlok, chairperson of the Sarah Baartman Netball Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is played on a half court and with only one goal post. There are six players per team, with only four allowed on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said teams would play in four categories \u2013 Senior Women, Senior Mixed, Junior Girls and Junior Mixed, with the senior teams playing for a first prize of R5 000 and the juniors for R3 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The netball will take place on both Friday and Saturday. Registration is from 07:00 to 09:00 on the Friday at Je\u2019Vista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touch rugby will be added to the sports mix on Saturday when the inaugural Je\u2019Vista One Touch tournament kicks off at 9am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organiser Christo Botha, of 1Touch, said up to 32 teams, each consisting of eight players, were expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a fantastic tournament, with lots of thrills and spills for spectators to enjoy,\u201d he said. \u201cA highlight will be a fun match between Je\u2019Vista Legends and Kouga Legends, to be played just after the semi-finals to give the top two teams a breather before the ultimate decider.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams can register from 07:00 to 08:00 at Je\u2019Vista on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Hendricks said the Saturday programme would also include free childrens\u2019 entertainment along the beachfront and a visit by the Easter bunny, who will arrive via parachute at about 12:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The J\u2019Bay Easter Tournament, hosted by Reggie\u2019s Academy, will round off the Carnival sports mix. The action takes place at the Tokyo Sexwale Sports Stadium and Jeffreys Bay Comprehensive High School from 09:00 till late from Friday to Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
