\u201cEk was nogal teleurgesteld toe ek nie die Boland-atletiekspan gehaal het nie. Vierde plek was toe nie goed genoeg nie, maar ondanks dit verteenwoordig ek nou vir Boland op \u2019n ander platform.\u201d <\/p>\n
D\u00edt is hoe die 17-jarige Rawsonviller Lu-Handr\u00e9 Arendse op sy onlangse prestasie gereageer het. <\/p>\n
Lu-Handr\u00e9 is gekies vir die o.19- Boland akademie-rugbyspan wat Boland van 2 tot 6 Julie in Johannesburg by die akademieweek gaan verteenwoordig. <\/p>\n
Hy vertrek op 29 Junie.<\/p>\n
Tans offer hy baie op om by rugby-oefensessies in Worcester uit te kom. <\/p>\n
\u201cSoms slaap ek oor by \u2019n vriend omdat ek nie vervoer het Rawsonville toe nie, maar ek besef dis wat ek moet opoffer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mubeen Laatoe, \u2019n onderwyser by Worcester Sekond\u00eare Skool, glo dat Lu-Handr\u00e9 net hard moet werk en dissipline moet handhaaf om sy doelwitte te bereik. Laatoe, sowel as die res van skool\u00adgemeenskap, stap al \u2019n geruime tyd \u2019n pad met di\u00e9 jong man. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het hom verlede jaar raakgesien tydens \u2019n rugby\u00adwedstryd teen Esselenpark Sekond\u00eare Skool,\u201d s\u00ea Laatoe.<\/p>\n
Lu-Handr\u00e9 is immers nie die enigste een wat vir \u2019n Boland-rugbyspan gekies is nie.<\/p>\n
Merlin Modicaine, \u2019n gr. 11-leerder by die Worcester Sekond\u00eare Skool, sal ook vir Boland uitdraf. Sy het die Boland meisies o.18-rugbyspan gehaal. Hulle speel van 8 tot 14 Julie in Boksburg tydens die akademie-week. <\/p>\n
Sy vertel dat sy haar nooit kon indink dat dit sou gebeur nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het altyd met die seuns gespeel, al van laerskool af. Dis eers hierdie jaar dat ek nou amptelik rugby begin speel het. My familie is trots op my en my gemeenskap is oorweldig deur die nuus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Merlin is vasbeslote om skool te voltooi en haar rugbyloopbaan verder te vat, terwyl Lu-Handr\u00e9 vir eers net goed wil vaar by die akademie-week, asook in sy matriekjaar.<\/p>\n
Volgens Merlin se onderwyser, Lee-Ann Haas, sien Merlin daarna uit om te gaan, maar verduidelik ook dat dit \u2019n finansi\u00eble uitdaging is. <\/p>\n
Sy het Merlin beskryf as \u201cspontaan\u201d en iemand wat regtig \u201c \u2019n bok vir sport is\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mubeen het ook bevestig dat Lu-Handr\u00e9 R6 000 nodig het om die toer \u2019n sukses te maak, asook dat Merlin \u2019n stewige bedrag geld nodig het.<\/p>\n
