A HARD-working Worcester teenager is looking forward to hours of gaming joy - after being awarded a Nintendo Gamecube for his efforts as an Evening News delivery boy.

Fourteen-year-old Robert Macintosh, of Tetbury Drive, Blackpole, Worcester was given the flashy prize after being named newspaper delivery boy of the month.

The teenager - who chose the prize - has only been doing the rounds since January, but his dedication has already shone through.

"He's very reliable and always makes up extra rounds if we ask him to," said Evening News field co-ordinator Pauline Hinton.

"He's always very polite and the customers really like him."
