Youth - Jeug

• Wayne vat 'n gaping
• Out of trouble

'n LEERDER van New Orleans Sekondêr, Wayne Matthee, gaan volgende jaar aan die Sportakademie in Virginia in die Vrystaat studeer.

Wayne, wat nou in graad 8 was, is saam met twee van sy spanmaats gekeur om vir 'n jaar na die akademie te gaan.

Wayne moes kies tussen dié kans en 'n toer na Engeland as lid van die Boland krieketspan.

"Rugby is die lekkerste," sê dié skaam heelagter wat reeds van graad vier af in rugbystewels boer.

Hy is tydens die onlangse Lovelife Rugbytoernooi in Port Elizabeth opgemerk en genooi na die akademie. Hy was lid van die Boland-Sentraal Usassa o.16-span.

Tydens dié toernooi het hy ook 'n sertifikaat van verdienstelikheid ontvang.

IN order to ensure that children in Paarl enjoy a crime-free festive season, the area's police have organised activities to keep the youngsters busy and out of trouble.

On Tuesday youths enjoyed mini-cricket off Van der Stel Street, Charleston Hill, while a sport's day was held at the New Orleans sportsgrounds yesterday.

A talent competition is being organised in Chicago for 23 December.

On 30 December there is an outing to Paarl Mountain, with informal sport activities in Klein Nederburg, Amstelhof, Chicago and Green Hills between 5 and 8 January.

On 12 January there will be a visit to Drakenstein and Allandale Prisons.
