Rover Motorcycle Club was well represented by Breece Romans, Caden Weise, Wian Scheepers and Riley Geldenhuys. Romans competing in the MX2 class finished in third place overall helping Team SA take the overall class win, while Caden Weise just missed out on a podium finish in the super-competitive MX125 class finishing in fourth overall with SA taking the class win. The MX65 class that had twenty six competitors saw Riley Geldenhuys finishing in fifth overall helping SA take a dominant class win, while Wiaan Scheepers also secured a fifth place finish in the MX50 class and SA once again winning the class. These class wins went  a long way to securing the overall win for the South African Team who were pushed hard at times by a very competitive Zimbabwean Team who finished in second place overall followed by Uganda in third.

The championship that continues to show tremendous growth since its inception in 2001 has now become an annual event with the 2026 MXoAN Championship set to take place in Namibia.
