You\u2019re never too old to have fun or to get active, senior citizens in Bellville South proved last Wednesday at their first Inter Club Sportsday for Senior Citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m 70, can you believe it?\u201d one senior said proudly after finishing one of the numerous events, which included names like pass-the-ball, duck walk, dress-up, egg and spoon and brisk walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was hosted by the Proteaville Senior Fitness Club, which held a similar event last year, but with their own members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the Peace Haven Senior Club and Bellville South Cultural Senior Club joined in the activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants seemingly had great fun taking part, with some clubs having enough members for an A and B team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some saw the event as a great way to relax, with organisers having to stop many from going to the tuck shop too early, for fear of missing their events. \u201cOnly the diabetics can go now!\u201d an organiser said to the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were quite competitive, running like their lives depended on it and beating other teams by big margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bellville South Cultural Senior Club was crowned the ultimate winner of the day and received a trophy the other teams are sure to try and take away from them at next year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
