HWANGE comes alive this morning when Hawkflight Construction through their Coolland brand bankroll a 10km Road Race and a soccer tournament.Four teams — Baobab Rovers, Methodist, Coolland and Mpumalanga Select will take part in the football tournament.

Obert Masara, a finance executive at Hawkflight Construction, said the sporting activities were part of their social community responsibility programmes.

“We held similar events at Maphisa last Saturday and as an emerging retail outlet in the Southern region, we have decided to have Coolland sponsored soccer tournaments.

“We will give away prizes to the participants and after the soccer competition, we are going to have an ultimate draw which will see one lucky shopper getting a car.

“This is a way of paying back to the community that has been supportive of our company and we are saying thank you through sport that brings people together,” said Masara.

Winners of the soccer competition will get R1,500 with the losing finalists taking home R500. There are also consolation prizes for the teams that fail to progress to the final.

In athletics, the winner will get R500 with the first runner-up in each category walking away with R200. Both men and women will compete in senior race which is for athletes above 30 years of age and the open event (18-29 years).
