Century City

And it's all about entertainment and at the same time coming to watch proper paddle. So it starts this Friday where there's no matches tomorrow, but we start at 8 a.m. on Saturday to 4 p.m. Okay. And then on Sunday, 8 a.m. again with the finals, the main finals all being because of different age groups, so from like 12 o'clock onwards, those will be at Century City, but there'll be games the whole time at Richmond and Century City. Okay. And then the following weekend, we'll do Friday night, then Saturday and Sunday again. Okay. And it's literally there's no

Opposite Burgundy estate. So literally like 12 minutes away from Century City. Yeah, so five courts at each. We're very lucky. So we're going to have 10 courts. Okay. And for this weekend, that's how we're also able to split. So we've got 90 players for the age groups this weekend. That's 35, plus 35, plus 45, plus 55 for men and plus 50 for the ladies. We were trying to do the under-19s as well, but the under-19s actually falls part of what we call the FIP promises.

And a lot of chiers around it, which is great to see. Now, I mean, that's the social side of the game. Paul, we're actually here to talk about the really competitive side of the game. As we said, the first ever national championships happening this weekend and next weekend. You are hosting them at your two venues. Tell us firstly where those are. So Century City, brand new purpose-built, been open a year, where the old Ratunga Junction was. Okay. So, yeah, standalone building for us. And then Richmond Park, which is an industrial complex.

So for us, like us, we've gone into an industrial area or century city, but then your land becomes quite expensive. So it's this whole juggling act the whole time that you've got to try and do. But I mean, the point is, it's there being, I mean, 1500 courts already, 500 clubs. I didn't know it was that big. I do inside out fitness at Western Province Cricket Club several mornings a week, and those courts are always in use. And it's always interesting to me. As you said, variety of ages, both genders using them.

Relationship with the petrol. You don't just drive for fun. We drive because the geography demands it. We live in a very large city comparatively, not as large as Joba, but a large city. So if you're driving from Atlantis to the CBD or from Gordon's Bay into town, maybe you have to drive from Simonstown to Bowville, Somerset West to Century City. And then there are the people who do this every single day.

Sap us on 072-567-1567. Afternoon Drive with John Matham is brought to you by Telkom Business. Possible begins here on Cape Talk. In four weeks' time, I will be broadcasting from Century City, the Results Center. We won't have any results yet, but there will be politicians hanging around, and I will have voted. And I'm starting to get excited about these local government elections. They are just four weeks.
