Eastern Province Athletics AWARDS 2026

28 October 2026

Luciano Arries, affectionately known as Ollie, was the recipient of the prestigious EPA Sub-Youth Sportman of the year.

It is an outstanding achievement by the bright young prospect.

This is a testiment to the hard work, dedication and discipline that he has been consistently maintaining towards constant improvement in his sprinting performances. After another challenging yet triumphant 2026 Track & Field season, which included another appearance at Athletics South Africa Track and Field Championships, as well another appearance at the South African Schools Athletics High School athletics, in our opinion it is fully deserved.

Ollie has been a staple on the Track and Field scene for some years now and has a bright future ahead if he keeps grafting.

CONGRATULATIONS OLLIE!
KEEP IT UP!

Camdeboo Athletic Club are producing some of the provinces topprospect in their respective fields.

Lekker Luciano!

30/04/2026

Founder and Head coach, Daniel "Golden Boy" Goliath, and his fellow athlete, Johan Ceasar , are representing the club and province at the South African Masters Athletics Championship from 30 April - 2 May.

Coach has been a constant achiever at this event and he will be hoping to encourage and motivate his fellow to do the same, after last year's heartbreak at the hands of a sustained injury.

Both men will be looking to qualify for the SAMA team and compete at AFMA Championships a month later.

We wish them the best of luck as they endeavour to make a mark on the national and international stage.

Congratulations Deidre!

Keep it up...

Op ons tuisveld het 𝗗𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱𝗿𝗲́ 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 vandag ’n besonderse mylpaal bereik toe sy vir die 50ste keer vir die eerstespan hokkie uitgedraf het.
Dit was ’n trots oomblik vir haar, haar span en die hele Volksiegemeenskap.

Deirdré se toewyding, deursettingsvermoë en liefde vir die spel is oor jare heen ’n ware inspirasie vir haar spanmaats.
