Kearsney kids get Sharks carrot

Kearsney kids get Sharks carrot

31 Mar 2009

Two players at Kearsney’s Easter Rugby Festival will each win bursaries worth R60 000.

The bursaries cover tuition fees at Varsity College and a contract with the Sharks Academy next year.

The festival takes place from 9-13 April. Participating schools include Dale, Queen’s and Selborne Colleges, Hoerskool Upington, HTS Middelburg, Hoerskool EG Jansen and Marais Viljoen, as well as Durban High School, KZN Development XV and, of course, Kearsney College.

Last year Sbu Sithole, captain of Queen’s College, won the bursary. He is currently in his first year at the Sharks Academy and studying towards his BCom Marketing degree.

This year’s recipients – the best forward and best backline players – will be announced on Saturday evening.

    Ay man

    I know its obviously a benefit to the sharks in the end. But I love that kids are given some easier entry to pro rugby than they could have had before.

    Though all those sxhools have some adequately wealthy parents on board!

    Rugby players come from school rugby. Not from vodacom cup or currie cup. Schools. That’s where they learn to love the game and be willing to sacrifice for it.

    How is lasy years guy doing? Rugby and school wise?
