Bursaries end Kearsney weekend

 

Valued at over R100 000 each, the recipients are Nico Peyper, EG Jansen hooker, Jordan Chait, SACS captain and fly-half, Heinrich Nieuwenhuizen, Selborne College flank, and Glenwood’s fullback Jaydon Morgan and prop Khuthazani Mchunu.  

 

The bursary includes a contract with the Academy next year, accommodation and a tuition bursary with one of its education partners.  

 

Announcing the awards, Sharks Academy managing director Etienne Fynn said South Africa was blessed to have a consistently high amount of school talent coming through each year.

 

“An individual can only perform within good structures; and a lot of credit needs to go to these participating schools, their coaches and the structures,” he said.

 

“The pride and passion the boys displayed was fantastic.  When they play as professionals one day, they must never forget this pride and passion with which they played at school level.”

 

The festival was well supported on all three days, with capacity crowds who were able to enjoy a high standard of competitive rugby.  It was a successful event for organisers and sponsors.
