MY SON'S RUGBY CV




His dad is an old rugby springbok and played for the then Transvaal Province.


So, we have Lions and Shark supporters in the family.

He received a rugby scholarship for 5 years at high school level and
a 3 year contract with the Sharks.

He achieved the following:-

1998 - U12 Nike All Stars KZN
1998 - U13 Craven week KZN
1999 - U13 Craven week KZN
1999 - U13 Natal Clubs Captain and Player of the year
2002 - U16 Grant Khomo Week KZN
2003 - KZN U18 Craven week
2004 - KZN U18 Craven week
2004 – Private School 50 + games + honours
2004 - SA Schools
2005 - SA U19 World Cup Winners vs NZ in SA Durban
2005 - Natal U19 Sharks
2006 - Natal U21 Sharks
2006 - College Rovers (Club winners 5th year in a row) Basil Medway Competition

2006 - Natal Sharks - Absa Currie Cup Premier Division
2007 - Natal Sharks U21 as well as 2007 Sharks squad

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.

I can just imagine how you feel Zelia, I have a son and would not wish this on him - or anyone...

Thanx Marcy for reading... I am so proud of him and he's achieved everything he worked for... He represented KZN -Sharks in every age group, every single year since the age of 12 ... And then he got sick this year...(22y)
He just got back from the Drs in Durban and the good news is, his heart is 100% and that is fantastic. They fine-tuned his pacemaker so the 'jolt' when the pacemaker kicks in is not so severe... Thank you for your kind words I really appreciate it...
