Sprint experience ‘awesome’ By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Standing in the grandstands, with the cars flying past, you could feel the backfiring in your chest. This was it, the 32nd annual Ashburton street sprints in the transformed industrial area, which on Saturday was again a feature of the Wheels Week spectacular. It was safe to say my excitement was brewing for my big moment where I’d be sitting in the passenger seat for Greg Cross’ first run of the street sprints. I wasn’t a complete novice, having driven in a few grass time trial races and probably a few too many paddock-bashing events, but never something as big as the Wheels Week street sprints. I had to get decked out in full racing gear – suit, shoes, gloves, helmet, and then locked into place in the safety harness. I think the only person that was more excited for me was my Dad, who tapped on the window before we lined up. With a big smile on his face, he wished me good luck. Greg was racer number 28, right after Gary Cook in the 1980s Toyota Starlet. I was strapped in and had my foot on the invisible brake. I gave a fist bump to Greg as we got to the start line. And we were ready. The second that Cook crossed the finish

line, Greg’s foot hit the accelerator and we were off. Taking every available racing line of a tight, stomach-churning course that he could, I was slightly scared a wing mirror would clip a hay bale around the first turn. When it didn’t, I could relax, with a smile a street corner wide saying it all. Several times, poor Greg heard me yell: “This is awesome”. Feet planted firmly on the floor of the car and hands holding on to the harness, I had the time of my life, especially coming out of every turn, and there were many, when Greg shifted up gears to gain as much power as possible. And the power and speed was exhilarating, Greg hitting 120km/h around a tight corner after corner track, with the thrusts and movements making it feel like 220km/h. When the car crossed the finish line, I was sad it was over. The buzz of taking part suddenly gone in less than three minutes. My Dad was quick to see me afterwards, saying it was awesome I got in the car and took part in the street sprints. But I don’t think he expected that I’d enjoy it so much. “Don’t tell me you’re going to buy yourself a car for next year?,” he asked. Hmm, maybe. “I might finish dead last, but I might just give it a go.’’ Street sprints coverage, page 31

Initiator of the First Ten Years’ Reunion, former Head Boy Ian Edward with guest speaker, former student Peter Datlen.

Former Ashburton College students reconnect “It vindicated our decision to hold the reunion of those who attended Ashburton College during its first 10 years.” “They came out of interest, out of curiosity and to reconnect.” Gluyas said the reunion was about former students getting together, visiting their old school and being briefed on the $60 million redevelopment by principal, Ross Preece. By the time the reunion began, more than 300 had registered, with three coming from Australia and the rest from throughout New Zealand, from Kerikeri to Invercargill, and especially Mid Canterbury. “The turnout was awesome,” Gluyas said. The reunion was organised by

By Malcolm Hopwood

There was an epiphanal moment when Peter Gluyas met Bill Calder and Jenni Moore at the weekend. He hadn’t seen them for more than five decades, except for a brief greeting with Moore several years ago. Gluyas’ reunion with Calder, Moore and family members of former principal, Owen McDowell, were replicated hundreds of times over as more than 300 former students greeted school mates they hadn’t seen since they left Ashburton College at the First Ten Years reunion. “It was great to catch up and now stay in touch,” Gluyas said.

the Ashburton College Alumni Board of which Gluyas is chairperson. In that capacity he launched a capital fund for the college and started it with a personal donation of $10,000. It was matched by another offer he’s following up this week plus expressions of support from a number of other former students. Gluyas intends the fund for future generations of Ashburton College students. “I want it to reach $100,000 and then interest from the investment will be used for such schemes as scholarships, purchases the $60 million rebuild can’t make and stand-alone projects like an electronic notice board which will

notify people of college activities,” he said. Gluyas acknowledges he must be flexible. At the reunion he noticed an absence of lockers, but it was explained that students don’t need one because they rarely use books, nor do they rely on school computers. They have their own smart devices for study which they bring to class. “It’s the changing face of education and our fund needs to recognise that.” This week he’s setting it up with Advance Ashburton, which is experienced in investment and the administration of funding. “I’m confident we’ll reach the $100,000 total and I’m sending details of the fund to everyone

who attended the reunion plus former students who expressed interest but couldn’t come,” he said. Already a $1000 grant is earmarked at the end of the year for a Year 13 student who’s recognised as making the greatest contribution to campus life. As for the future, Gluyas is seriously considering a further reunion in five or 10 years’ time. Another option is when the new school opens. It’s scheduled for 2024, but is already behind schedule. “We’ve had great interest from former students, especially over 60 years and we’ll target them again. “They have the time, the money, and the interest,” he said.

In brief Fatal crash

Moustaches provide charities a welcome boost By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Moustaches have allowed the Foothills Young Farmers Club to donate $10,000 to local charities. At the end of last year the club held its biennial Movember at the Mount event to raise money and awareness for the New Zealand Movember Foundation. “This charity is something the club feels strongly about in that it aims to raise awareness around men’s mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer,” club member Liv Thomson said. The event involved a raffle, auction, a live band for entertainment later with Dame Lynda Topp as the MC and of course a moustache competition. The night was a huge success and the club was able to raise $10,000. The club decided to donate $7000 to the New Zealand Movember Foundation and gave $1000 each to Canterbury West Coast

Air Rescue Helicopters, Mid Canterbury Area St John and the local Mt Somers Swimming Pool. Thomson said the night wouldn’t have

been possible without the sponsors and support from the community, and the club is already looking forward to its next event in 2022.

Police have named the person who died following a single-vehicle crash near Methven on Saturday morning. He was 47-year-old Rajenesh Kumar of Ashburton. Emergency services were alerted to the crash on Back Track near Woods Road at Highbank just before 6.15am on Saturday morning. The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade attended and police arrived soon after. A police spokesperson said Kumar died after their car crashed into a tree at the intersection and died at the scene. The Serious Crash Unit attended and an investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing.

Trader scams Local police are urging caution when trading online. In the last three months Police in the Aoraki region have investigated 21 complaints relating to online trading scams where a ‘seller’ pretends to have goods and services for sale, but once they receive payment don’t follow through with the deal. “Nineteen complaints involve Facebook Marketplace and payments of up to $5000 being made by buyers to unscrupulous sellers,” Senior Sergeant Dylan Murray said. He advises there are risks when trading on all online platforms, including that the Facebook buy and sell pages and groups are not moderated by Facebook whereas online platforms, such as Trade Me, have been set up specifically for trading and have measures to protect buyers and sellers. “The safest option is to only pay the seller after you have inspected the goods in person,” Murray said. Always request tracked shipping when purchasing online and if there are any doubts about the goods or the seller don’t go ahead with the deal.

Flax weaving The Te Huka Tai Trust is holding two flax weaving workshops at the Hakatere Marae. The workshops are suitable for adults and teenagers, with no prior experience required. Attendees will learn tikanga around harvesting and weaving harakeke. The workshops are being held on Friday and Saturday, with spaces limited to 12 for each session at a cost of $15 for the day. Email tehukataitrust@ gmail.com to register.

Fire beside railway A member of the public alerted services to a fire beside the train tracks along the Rangitata highway between Tilsons Road and Frisbys Road yesterday morning. One appliance from Hinds responded as well as a tanker from Hinds and Willowby. The fire was in a small pit around the size of two square meters, a Fire and Emergency (FENZ) spokesperson said.

Datlen plays key role in space exploration By Malcolm Hopwood

Peter Datlen wants to be the “last hands and eyes” on the Neutron rocket that will blast off Wallops Island Virginia in 2024. Rocket Lab has recently announced the huge rocket, which is an eight-tonne payload capacity rocket capable of human space flight. Datlen, who’s the propulsion test and assembly supervisor for Rocket Lab, was home as guest speaker at the Ashburton

The Neutron rocket with an E-type Jaguar at its base for scale.

College reunion at the weekend. He told his life’s story to nearly 250 members of the college alumni and then, on Sunday, discussed his role at Rocket Lab further. Datlen says Neutron is “a really big deal for New Zealand” and can carry larger payloads and satellites and launch them from the rocket than our previous rocket. “It will put New Zealand on the map,” he says. “Its purpose is space exploration, servicing existing space stations and ferrying humankind to the moon and beyond.” Previously he was the last hands and eyes on the rocket before the button was pressed five kilometres up the road, but his latest task is to run the technicians that assemble the rocket engines and the team that tests them. Datlen also sees his role as a firefighter, the person who’s called to address the problems and find the solution. While Rocket Lab has close relationships with NASA and “launches NASA reconnaissance payloads and satellites” in their existing rockets, Neutron is likely to be built with Kiwi talent, ingenuity and technical ability. “We’re like a Uber. We can get people to space cheaper, reliably and more frequently than anyone else.” Neutron is a vindication of what Rocket Lab has achieved in recent years and Datlen has been a key component of the first 10 rockets that were launched at Mahia Peninsula. Until recently he was lead launch technician which was a huge responsibility, but took him away from his partner and home base in Auckland far too often. He was in charge of leading the team that assembled the rocket, positioned it on the pad for testing, fuelled it up and did the last inspection of the nuts and bolts before it was launched. “I had to ensure that everything worked before the button was pressed,” he explains. The position took him to NASA’s facility, Wallops in Virginia, on several occasions where he helped to build the launch pad for their Electron Rocket. He spent time in the US last year during Covid-19, went into isolation for a couple of weeks in March/April 2020, before completing the project. In his new position he wants to be part of space exploration culminating with humankind returning to the moon and travelling on to Mars.

Peter Datlen, back home in Ashburton. It’s been nearly 50 years since there were regular moon landings. Datlen explains that, at the time, the cost had become prohibitive. “But now we’ve reached the point where technology is more affordable,” he says. At present he’s proud that Rocket Lab is involved in the forefront of launching search and rescue payloads, technology that can detect early seismic movement and research conditions in space. “Our rockets are travelling at 28,000km/h once in the lower earth orbit (LEO) and then we have to slow them and

bring them back down using hypersonic parachutes,” he commented. He’s also proud of Rocket Lab’s reusability. “We have a new programme to reuse the rockets and their components and don’t leave anything behind in space,” he says. At 31, Peter Datlen has his life ahead of him, but wants to be remembered as someone who did his part and achieved something that was important. “I want to say that, by having my hand in rocket development, I’ve been able to advance humankind.”

Improvements for Maori health ‘not just on authority’ By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

A robust partnership between Health NZ and the Maori Health Authority will determine improvements in Maori health figures, says a Mid Canterbury health boss. Last month’s health reform announcement has been regarded as an opportunity to transform an “inequitable” and “ineffective” health sector. Health Minister Andrew Little confirmed on April 21 the reforms would replace all District Health Boards with one national organisation, Health New Zealand, and create a new Maori Health Authority. The changes are set to take effect from July 2022. Ashburton Rural Health Services’ director of nursing Brenda Close said the shakeup, which had inherently disenfranchised Maori, has been “a long time coming”. “Our systems are inherently racist,” she said. “If you look at health mainstream and health from a Maori world lens, they’re quite different. “When you have a system created with those biases, it really is challenging.” Close, who has iwi ties to Nga Puhi, Te Rawara and Ngati Maniapoto, said a disparity in health

services also extended generally to rural spots, compared to urban areas. But it was with Maori where this imbalance was more pronounced, as supported by extensive statistical figures. She said there needed to be substantial support for the Maori Health Authority. “The devil is in the detail,” she said. “It needs to be legislated and protected in terms of what its role and functions are and they need to be funded appropriately. “They have to be able to hold Health New Zealand accountable.” Health New Zealand is to commission primary and community services through four regional divisions. Close hoped the restructure would be more than a superficial one to the system. “We don’t want to see health services given a different name, but just do it the same,” she said. “The constructs have changed, and we’ve called them different entities, but the way in which they operate is fundamentally the same.” Although the Ashburton area remained a largely European/Pakeha district, the Maori and Pasifika communities were one of the fastest growing populations, Close said.

Methven’s milestone weekend By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The past, present and future of the Methven Rugby Club enjoyed a bumper weekend celebrating the club’s 125th jubilee. “It all went so well and was a big three days for the club,” organising committee spokeswomen Megan Henderson said. The weekend kicked off with the registration evening at the clubrooms on Friday with over 300 people packing into the clubrooms where a team of the last

25 years was named. A big crowd soaked up the action on Saturday with all the club’s sides taking the field and was capped off by the Methven senior sides claiming a double over Celtic, winning both the senior B and senior A fixtures. In between the senior matches, the club’s oldest player Colin Watson and youngest in Archer Stone cut the cake. Then it was off to the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall for the formal function. In between the reminiscing and celebrating of the club’s rich

125 year history, the match day 125th commemorative jerseys worn by the senior side were auctioned off with more than $50,000 raised for the club. “We are blown away by that result,” Henderson said. “The club is grateful for the generosity and support, and the money will go back into the club.” On Sunday, the Methven Maulers golden oldies side had a run as did the Methven Mooses women’s team against an Ashburton invitational side with another good crowd turning out.

Seminar on rural mental health By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Media personality Matt Chisholm is guest speaker at an Ashburton seminar aimed at providing people servicing the agricultural industry with the tools and strategies for dealing with mental health issues in the rural community. The seminar will be held at the Ashburton Raceway on May 25, from 10am to 3pm, a week later than originally scheduled. Mid Canterbury-based rural advocate and commentator Craig “Wiggy” Wiggins said he had been approached by several people in the rural service industry over the last six months who had said that they and their staff were regularly finding farmers who were struggling with stress and mental health issues. The seminar was aimed at people servicing the rural industry such as vets, advisors, agronomists, stock agents, plumbers, and fencers. It was also open to farmers. “If you have a business in Ashburton and Mid Canterbury that deals with the farming community, we suggest that you come as you are the people that can break down the isolation that farmers face.” The seminar would also give people skills that they could use within their own business. “It is not only how to deal with clients, but also how to keep an eye on your colleagues and not to

Herrick will share their experiences and struggles with mental health. Also speaking will be primary health representatives, suicide prevention counsellor Pup Chamberlain, a wellbeing coach and HR and staff recruitment companies. Wiggins said the seminar would also provide the opportunity for people “in the field” to give feedback regarding what they were seeing in the rural community. “So, it’s a two-way conversation.” With the increased pressures of freshwater legislation, winter grazing regulations, farm succession planning, staffing issues and their own physical health taking a toll on many farmers, more are opening up about their stresses and struggles. “Farmers are coming forward and talking to the rural service industry before seeking professional help as they would rather talk to someone they know and trust. Farmers are talking to the people that visit them on-farm, rather than going off-farm for help. “The professionals that I have been approached by feel they are untrained and nervous about the situation they or their staff find themselves in and don’t know how to get out of the professional space and into a personal space with their clients. Is what they are seeing serious and what or where do they go for help?,” Wiggins said. People can register for the seminar at farmingfamilies4u@gmail. com.

Feed grain stocks down by up to 26pc By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Widespread dry conditions mean farmers are being encouraged to secure feed grain for livestock sooner rather than later, with the latest national cereal survey showing unsold stocks are down on the same time last year. The Arable Industry Marketing Initiative (AIMI) survey showed that feed wheat and feed barley crops from the 2020 harvest were almost all sold. Stocks of unsold feed wheat from this year’s harvest are down 26 per cent and stocks of feed barley down 24 per cent compared to the same time last year. Federated Farmers’ grains spokesman and Dromore farmer

Brian Leadley said the dry autumn meant farmers were advised not to wait until spring to source feed grain as demand was likely to be strong with lower volumes available. Yields for this year’s harvest were down 3 per cent compared to 2020’s record season. Less hectares were also harvested (down 3 per cent), resulting in a 6 per cent decrease in tonnage compared to last season. New Zealand’s grain production in the last few years had been steady, Leadley said. Soil moisture levels remained low heading into winter and growers were hoping for rain to improve soil levels and recharge aquifers for the season ahead. The dry autumn had slightly delayed planting of crops, with ir-

rigated farmers having to water before sowing. While milling wheat growing areas had been increasing as part of a campaign to source more volumes domestically, a new procurement system unexpectedly introduced by the South Island’s biggest flourmill, Mauri, was causing some confusion and instability, Leadley said. “We are trying to get clarity for growers.” Mauri, formerly the Weston Mill, has advised farmers that from 2022 it will be procuring all its South Island wheat requirements from Wilmar Trading. As it appeared Mauri would no longer release contracts through a brokerage firm, growers had received no indication of pricing or preferred cultivars.

While the Mauri mill still needed wheat, this had potential to add cost, Leadley said. “This has left growers unsure. We are hearing of some growers potentially swinging more to feed than milling wheat. Hopefully that won’t be the case. As we go into winter sowings, some dual-purpose wheat varieties can go milling or feed.” About 100,000 tonnes of milling wheat was grown in each of the last two seasons, predominantly in Canterbury. The Arable Food Industry Council has set a goal for New Zealand to be self-sufficient in milling wheat by 2025 and consumers were becoming more aware about sourcing products made from domestically-grown wheat, Leadley said.

A & P Winter Feed Competition Ravensdown proud to sponsor Ashburton A & P Association Winter feed Competition Welcome to the 2021 Ashburton A & P Winter Feed Competition. After cancellation through Covid restrictions last year it is great to offer the competition to promote excellence in winter feed crops. The importance of well managed quality winter feed crops is very relevant this year after a generally dry autumn and tight feed supplies across much of the district. I wish to acknowledge the continued support of principle sponsor Ravensdown and thank the many businesses for their sponsorship. Convenor David Bennett

Mayfield A & P Association Winter Feed Competition Welcome back everyone after a year that’s been like no other. After not being able to hold this competition last year it is great to be able to continue on with it this year. This year we had good conditions for getting green feed in the ground with a dryer spring. We had some good showers around the foothills to establish the crops nicely. Throughout the summer we seemed to get enough rain to keep the crops ticking over. It was a bit of a frustrating start to the harvest with dull conditions most of the mornings which made for a late start each day. It was all hands on deck once the sun came out albeit briefly at times. With the harvest done we turned outrattention to winter crops being sown down. With the Autumn season we were hoping for some normal rain and growth however this has not been the case. Some of the later autumn sown crops are starting to show some stress and would welcome a shower or two to reach their full potential.

Your Local Team

We have a full itinerary for our Winter Feed Competition on Thursday and have been really well supported by our sponsors. We couldn’t do this without them. Please support them when you can. Good luck for the coming season. Mayfield A&P Methven A & P Association Winter Feed Competition Hello from the Methven A&P Association. Our team are currently organising this year’s winter feed competition to be held on the 17th and 18th of May with entries now open and the gathering of sponsorship well under way. It will be good to get back out onto farms in the Methven area and see what the winter feed crops are looking like after the disappointment of missing out last year due to the lockdown. As far as the growing season has gone this year started well and we had regular rain and good growing conditions but a very dry autumn has seed irrigation water going on

crops up to the beginning of May, some dryland crops have struggled a bit from March onward due to lack of significant rainfall and now we see the east coast of North and the South Islands heading into drought conditions and the possibility of a shortage of winter crops to feed stock. With this in mind the Methven area appears to be looking good , the foothills have had the odd shower from thunder storms and weak southerlies and down the plains they have had reliable irrigation water with minimal restrictions. It will be interesting to see how we stack up against other farms in the Ashburton and Mayfield areas. I would like to thank our major sponsor Ravensdown for their continuing support and anyone interested in entering the Methven winter feed competition can call Mark. Mark Lock Methven A&P Association

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This game you’re playing is only known to you. You made the rules, the board, the pieces. And though you’d love to see someone try to best your score, it’s not going to happen. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You learn as much as you can on your own about a thing before you turn to those who can teach you. This is the most efficient approach to education, and you’ll impress those in a position to help you. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Entitlement is among your least-favourite qualities. You respect those who have earned their position and continue to prove worthy of it through service to others. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s so much more to a job than you expected, and this invigorates you. You’re thinking about what skills you could acquire and share, and what role you could take on that would help others. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Sometimes, you want a little; sometimes, you want a lot. When it comes to your passion, you’ll take no less than all. It’s only fair because that’s exactly the amount you give. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The bad behaviour has a reward. You’ll change in the way you want to because you’re willing to be honest about what is the payoff and agree to let it go. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s a bit of unpredictability to the day, and it will keep you on your toes. When the details are changing, you’ll do well to remain the same. Once you’ve made a choice, stick with it. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your inspiration is not random. You like who you do for a reason. These icons and fantasy people help you find and activate a part of your own personality waiting to emerge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Relationships change, but they don’t have to fade or take over. The intensity level can remain while the roles shift and settle into a new and more useful dynamic. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your attitude about money – more specifically what constitutes real value – is shifting. Channels open up to accommodate a fatter flow of abundance in the weeks to come. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): High stakes are crucial to successful outcomes. If they do not exist, you can always create them. Ask a Capricorn to help you with accountability. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Pride is a precarious matter. It can have to do with self-respect and a sense of worthiness or it can be focused on the ego’s defences and feelings of superiority. Go cautiously in its expression.

OUR VIEW

Dunedin stabbings too close to home By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz

t’s the world we live in. A world where the value and importance of life seems irrelevant for some. That was again underlined by the horrific scenes at the central Dunedin Countdown supermarket on Monday when an apparent random stabbing attack left three people critically injured and fighting for their lives and another requiring hospital treatment. We can only speculate as to what caused the attacker to snap in a scene described by those in the supermarket as chaos. That sounds like an understatement. I can’t imagine what it must have been like. One moment you’re shopping for cornflakes and bread. The next you’re running for your life or fending off a knife-wielding lunatic. And though it happened in Dunedin, it was still very close to home for many of us, who have loved ones or family members in Dunedin, perhaps sons and daughters at Otago University. So Mid Cantabrians’ reasons for concern and panic when news of the Dunedin attack broke was very real and very raw. Many in our community also know too well the pain and terror of violent rampages. In Ashburton, we get reminded of that every time we go past the Ministry of Social Development office (formerly Work and Income New Zealand) on Tancred Street. The security guard outside is now a permanent fixture, his posting a sad but inevitable result of the double slaying of two workers in the Winz office on the same street by a masked gunman on a day in 2014 that shook Ashburton to its core. Naturally, we would like to think those sorts of history-darkening moments were random, isolated incidents, but they’re not. They’re sadly becoming all too frequent. It was only two years ago, in case anyone needed reminding, that New Zealand’s innocence abruptly ended in a shocking mass murder when a gunman walked into two Christchurch mosques and shot dead 51 people. But as tragic as it was in Dunedin, at least we’re not in America. And thank goodness for that. Guns rather than knifes are the weapon of choice for most crazed offenders in the States. In a recent month-long period, the US reported 45 mass shootings having taken place where four or more people were shot, wounded, or killed, excluding the gunman. And that, by all accounts, was a pretty normal month. So now we’ll wait and see, and hope and pray, for those stabbed and traumatised by the mayhem in Dunedin. We’ll also watch with interest to see how Countdown reacts. Already their managing director has been reported as saying that for some time they’d been “concerned about the escalating violence’’ towards their workers up and down the country. Those concerns turned blood red on Monday. Action and greater safety plans are now needed. And quickly.

Local awards highlight value of sport and volunteers By Hamish Riach

CEO’S MESSAGE

ast week, I had the privilege of attending the Ashburton Guardian Mid Canterbury Sports Awards at the Hotel Ashburton, and what a wonderful celebration of our local sportspeople it was. Having presented a few of the awards to the winning nominees on the night, I was reminded of how integral local sports and volunteers are to the fabric and wellbeing of our community. There is no doubt that our district has a proud sporting culture, with all manner of participants playing a role to create opportunities, pathways, learnings, entertainment – and often, lifelong friendships for the betterment of our people. Playing sport gives you skills and experiences to take with you throughout life that apply not only to your chosen sport, but also to your work and relationships. When you are part of a club or team, it also gives you a sense of belonging and community-mindedness: values that enhance our district and help to make it such a great place to live. On Friday night, it was fantastic to see so many people recognised for their positive attitude, talent and achievement across a variety of sports, and I’d like to congratulate everyone who was nominated. I was staggered at the success of our sportspeople across a diverse and wide range of sports, from equestrian to rifle shooting, hockey, cricket, wheelchair rugby and

Master of ceremonies James Cochrane interviews Ann Shurrock after she was inducted into the legends hall of fame at the annual Ashburton Guardian Mid Canterbury Sports Awards on Friday night. netball; from boxing to basketball, tennis, pickleball, archery, speed ski racing, karate, and swimming. And it was a rare privilege to hear the journey Mid Canterbury’s own Michael Todd has taken from no real interest in sport to inclusion in the Wheel Blacks team preparing for the Tokyo Olympics – a reminder of what can be achieved when talent, resilience, hard work and family support combine. As much as it is about the athletes and teams who turn up each

week to play or perform at their best, it’s also equally about the dedicated people who give their time and expertise to make these sports happen: the coaches, trainers, administrators and officials right through to those working the canteen, mowing fields or helping to fundraise. Our district runs on volunteers, and it’s clear that sport is one of the biggest beneficiaries of these selfless efforts. It’s a tradition I know that both

the community and council is particularly proud of and such a positive characteristic of our district. While some local volunteers are celebrated each year through our Council Civic Awards, it’s always great to have as many other opportunities as possible to say ‘thank you’ to these selfless people, and the Mid Canterbury Sports Awards were certainly that. Well done to everyone who organised the night and to all of

the nominees and winners. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a great reflection of what makes Ashburton District such a positive place to be.

Ministry needs to sort mental health services crisis By Mike King

s anybody else confused by the shortage of mental health counselling services around the country right now? Over the past six months, we have seen a steady flow of alarming media stories highlighting the chronic shortfalls in mental health services, including but not limited to underfunded services, excruciating wait times of up to 12 months and burn-out by mental health professionals. As someone who stood alongside the Prime Minister at a press conference and defended the Government from attacks by the opposition parties, going on record to say that “this Government has done more in six months than the last government did in nine years”, I am disappointed and embarrassed by the state of mental health support today. Despite what the Ministry of Health is telling us, capacity is not the issue – there are plenty of counsellors available. The issue is the Ministry of Health’s reluctance to pay for counsellors, deflecting criticism in terms of

MOH priorities dealing with Covid-19, the “Year of the Vaccination”. In March, Health Minister Andrew Little was reported as saying that he knows there is frustration in the sector, but they are moving as fast as they can with the capacity that they’ve got. This admission begs the question: Why his Ministry of Health is ignoring the “click and collect” resource available through Gumboot Friday-funded free counselling service? This is a service currently funded by public donations that has more than 3800 registered counsellors across the country and has already allocated more than 15,500 hours of free counselling to thousands of young Kiwis under 25. And let me be clear, this slap in the face has not been delivered by the Government – they can’t make funding agreements with individual organisations – but by the Ministry of Health which, despite lauding the “team of five million” during Covid-19, refuses to fund a service created by the people for our most vulnerable people.

Gumboot Friday is an initiative founded by an ordinary New Zealander, Joesephine Nathan, who wanted to do something about the long wait times and excruciating protocols needed to access face-to-face counselling. Her idea was to ask the public to help raise funds to provide kids with free voluntary counselling when and where it was needed, to take the pressure off our overstretched frontline mental health services and workers. Last week the Government announced an expansion of Mana Ake, or Stronger for Tomorrow, investing $28 million in an early intervention in-school mental health and well-being programme that addresses mild to moderate mental health needs of Year 1 to 8 children before they become more serious. The programme will be expanded to kids on the West Coast, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Taupo, South Auckland and Northland and it is hoped to be rolled out by the beginning of 2022 at a cost of a further $10 million. It’s great that there is some funding for this programme,

but by comparison, if Gumboot Friday was given $28 million that would equate to 300,000 free counselling sessions nationwide, not just in five centres. Gumboot Friday connects anyone under 25 with a private counsellor in their area with one click of a button – and picks up the bill. The efficient and effective service has been running for the last two years and has achieved some outstanding results. ■■ Average cost: $124 per session ■■ Average sessions per client: four ■■ Average response time: 48 hours ■■ Average wait time: six days ■■ In year one 40 per cent of clients were male – the most atrisk group ■■ And nearly 40 per cent of clients were aged 11 and under. When you compare these figures and costs with any current MOH programme in the same sector, it beats them all in terms of bang for buck and customer satisfaction hands down and it won’t cost $10m of public money to roll it out – because it’s already

up and running. And if that isn’t proof enough, not only have we had DHB clinicians referring their clients to avoid insufferably long waiting lists, but we’ve also had clinicians sign up to Gumboot Friday to finish seeing clients no longer eligible for funding. When shown the data, Little said” “The declines from DHBs [driving demand for GBF] are striking.” As someone who is in the mental health trenches, I am simply staggered that a resource that New Zealanders deem worthy of funding is being ignored by the Ministry of Health. It’s not only reprehensible behaviour from the officials but continues the status quo where New Zealanders facing mental health challenges are left questioning if they’re important enough to get help. It seems to me that the wellworn catch cry of our Prime Minister to “go hard, go early” – at least in the eyes of the Ministry of Health, applies to everything except the lives of young New Zealanders.

ASHBURTON

Out for a winning debut By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

He’s better known as a former world champion harness racing driver, but today marks a significant milestone in the racing career of Mark Jones. The Burnham based horseman will make his debut as a thoroughbred trainer at today’s Ashburton Racing Club meeting when he lines up Mistletoe in the opening race of the day. Jones has trained more than 630 harness racing winners in his illustrious career, but today’s the first time he’s slipped a saddle onto a thoroughbred as trainer. And he’s got some big shoes to fill, too. “I didn’t realise, but the horse has gone from Jamie Richards to John Bary to Terri Rae, to me – so I don’t think I’ll be able to improve it,” he said during the week. “But at least now I can go into the birdcage and get all the good excuses that the jockeys use,” he quipped.

As well as training the fiveyear-old daughter of Tavistock, Jones also owns her as well having picked her up from the Riccarton stable of Rae early this year. She’s had two trials to prepare for today’s resumption with a tidy second last week at the Rangiora jump outs last week showing she’s not far off ahead of today’s resumption. In both trials she’s been ridden by Ashburton jockey, Jason Laking and he retains the race day ride today. Win, lose or draw it won’t be the last time Jones steps out a runner as he’s enjoying the challenge of doing something a little bit different. “I actually quite enjoy the gallopers and it is going to be a good challenge.” Jones’ foray into the thoroughbred world follows in the footsteps of a number of other Canterbury trainers who can be considered ‘dual-code’. Recent trainers to double-dip include Robbie Holmes and Michael House, while more established trainers include John and Karen

Mark Jones Parsons and also Lyn Prendergast. Mistletoe will be out to give Laking a strong start to a race day on his home track as he looks to continue a good run of recent form in the saddle with many placings and a winner last week at Timaru. He’s got five rides on the eightrace card and looks to hold strong chances again with the likes of Lancaster Park, Mr Hass and Mamma Sans in the last event of the day.

There’s a strong local contingent of runners throughout the day who will be out to repel the challenge of visitors from all over New Zealand who are competing at the meeting. Amanda Higgins will be represented by three runners during the meeting, with Meritorious looking a strong chance in the second race of the day based on an excellent fresh up run for third. Higgins also lines up Altar Girl in race one and Pikey Princess in race four. Robyn Ayton will be out for a well overdue win on her home track with another strong chance in Van Halen in the fourth race of the day after a string of solid performances recently while in the Rating 65 and jumpers event all three local runners, Vermont (Sarah and Matt Smith), Sure Is (Tracey Hickey) and Colorado Miss (Cheri Trembath) are all in with at worst a runner’s chance of getting a slice of the action. The Smith stable also lines up Splendior in the last, with the mare having her first start since the Kumara meeting in January.

M6 Ashburton gallops

In brief Alford ousted Disgraced harness racing trainer Jesse Alford has been banned for seven years after he was caught injecting two horses with a prohibited substance just hours before they were due to race. The Judicial Control Authority handed down the ban through a reserved decision which was made public this week. A ban of nine years had been called for by the industry’s watchdog, the Racing Integrity Unit but the JCA offered a discount for Alford’s early guilty plea and previous clean record.

Morrison extends lead John Morrison has extended his lead on the Junior Drivers’ premiership to nine after another winning weekend in the deep south for the in-form driver. Morrison saluted with Kagee VC on Saturday at Invercargill to go to 45 wins for the season, nine wins clear of his closest rival – fellow Mid Cantabrian, Sarah O’Reilly who was also successful on the weekend with Fabrizio for Cran and Chrissie Dalgety on Friday night.

Races this week In a busy week for racing at the Ashburton Racecourse, the Ashburton Trotting Club will hold its second meeting in as many weeks on Sunday. The club has received 151 nominations for the meeting which looks set to contain up to 10 races.

FOOTBALL

Promising signs in lower grades By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Tough at the top but encouraging from the bottom. Mid Canterbury United’s two top sides, the Championship team and the Reserves both endured tough days at the office on Saturday at home against FC Twenty – but there was plenty for the club to smile about in other fixtures from the weekend across the lower grades and also in the women’s Sunday competition. The senior side found themselves down by two goals at halftime in their New World Championship match, but despite an excellent defensive effort in the second stanza they were unable to peg back the score and lost 0-2. It had been a tougher encounter earlier in the day for the Reserves side, who took on FC Twenty as well and were humbled 0-8 by a very good side. The results pushed them just outside of the top four in the competition, but they will get a chance to peg that back this week when they take St Albans Shirley on Saturday. The Mid Canterbury United Division Four side made it two from two with a 3-nil win over Nomads White. The win puts them second on the table, along with three other

teams after the first two weeks and sets up an exciting undefeated match against University Yellow Jackets this weekend at home on the Ashburton Domain. The club’s 15th grade side were also in dazzling form on Saturday, banging home four goals in their match against St Albans Shirley, with a superb hat-trick notched up by Elliot Ward, and one to Muzzammil Khan. Then on Sunday, the Mid Canterbury United Women’s side also made it two from two with another big win, this time over Ferrymead Bay 7-1. They’ve now scored 11 goals in their two matches and sit second on the points table as one of only two undefeated sides, and they’ll be out to add to that this weekend when they take on Halswell United in Halswell this weekend. It was a strong day for the Methven Football Club too, with the side picking up their first win in Mainland Football’s Division One when they beat St Albans Shirley 4-3. The side had to be good to clinch it, coming from 0-2 down after the first quarter of the match. The Division Three side had a tough day at the office, losing 0-7, but their 15th grade team were 6-3 winners over St Bede’s College.

Mid Canterbury Senior Sportsperson of the Year, Kimberley Bird OPINION

Time to be proud of what we achieve By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

e’re very good at sport here in Mid Canterbury – if you didn’t already know. So good, in fact, that very few regions and districts stack up to us, when you look at some of the absolute superstars we have walking among us in everyday life. But what we’re not good at is putting our hands up in the air and celebrating that success. Patting ourselves on the back isn’t really the Mid Canterbury way. Instead, we often tend to want to quietly go about our business and be

content with our own successes, without shouting it from the rooftops. The annual Mid Canterbury Sports Awards, which the Ashburton Guardian is proud to be associated with each and every year, is the one occasion that we need to break off those shackles. Because if we don’t start doing it, nights of celebrating the success of locals out on the local, national and international stage are going to become limited. The 2021 edition of the Awards was always going to be a little light on the ground. The cancellation of so many major sporting events, championships and fixtures during the 2020 period limited the opportunities for our sporting stars to get out there and fly the Mid

Canterbury flag with pride. Neighbouring regions Canterbury and South Canterbury both also saw significant declines in the number of entries they received for their awards as well. But still, and not wanting to in anyway belittle those who were on stage on Friday night, I think we let ourselves down. Nominations should still have been a lot higher than what they were – but for one reason or another we’re reluctant to beat our own drums sometimes, and that’s to the detriment of not only ourselves, but the sports in which we compete. The Awards are a great opportunity for sports to get into the limelight. A chance to be celebrated for a year of hard work and dedication and in many cases success.

Whether your nomination results in a victory, or just an acknowledgement of your efforts, it doesn’t matter. It’s about being there and celebrating like-minded achievements with peers, and gaining some richly deserved notice for your effort. If we don’t start really pushing to see those who go over and above and achieve at a high level on the sporting scene celebrated at the Awards, the chances are we may lose them at some point in the future. And generations of locals won’t be afforded the same opportunities that many before them have to get their moment in the spotlight and to celebrate what they’ve done. And that would be a real shame.

RUGBY

Pressure ramping up By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Suddenly, the murky puzzle that was the Combined Country Rugby competition is a lot clearer. And for some Mid Canterbury teams there’s everything to play for in the final two weeks of round robin play, while for others it’s almost time to turn the attention toward preparing for the local competition, the Watters Cup. Southern, Methven and Celtic have the best chances of being in the playoffs in three weeks’ time, but conceivably, only two of those three will get there, with Southern almost a lock to gain one of the three spots available in their pool. For Rakaia and Hampstead, defeats on the weekend all but buried their hopes of finals rugby – but their performances still bode well for when things go hyper-local in the middle of next month. In Methven, the locals knew a win was the only option for their side if they were to keep their hopes alive of making the knockout stage of the competition – and while they delivered, again they failed to grab a number of opportunities during the match. They won 17-7 against a brave Celtic side, but could have easily won by a lot more. A large part of that was down to the determined Celtic defence, but Methven – not for the first time this season – were guilty of squandering opportunities at a number of points during the match. When the barnstorming Nete Caucau crossed shortly after the 10-minute mark and Tyler Blackburn added the extras, it looked as though Methven were going to celebrate their 125th in style. But Celtic kept them in check, making them work for every metre of advantage. Neither side troubled the score sheet again in the opening half, but a try to Tim Lawn soon after the break again threatened to open the game up. When Michael Hennings scored 10 minutes later and Methven extended their lead to 17-0, a bonus point victory looked ripe for the picking, but try as they might another didn’t come, instead Celtic were rewarded for their hard work with a try to Ricus Ven Zeyl after 60 minutes, and that was to be the last scoring play of the game. Methven will now look to set themselves up for the final push when they take on the winless Rolleston away from home this weekend.

Five points from that match and a win against Waihora in the final round will see them into the playoffs, but a hiccup along the way would see them sitting in a perilous position. For Celtic, back-to-back defeats will have them smarting, but they’ll fire up for Lincoln this week at home, and if they can beat them with a bonus point and then somehow knock over the unbeaten Prebbleton in the final round there is a small sniff of a chance of making it into the playoffs. Meanwhile, out at Mayfield, Southern went into the half-time break in their top of the table clash with Prebbleton with their noses in front and within a sniff of making it five-from-five. They led 11-9, through a try to Scott Vessey and two penalties from the boot of George Williams. But as they’ve shown this season, Prebbleton don’t back down, and they kept coming at the Southern defence to add a try and their fourth penalty of the match in the second half, while Southern’s only points came from the boot of Williams, and the vis-

itors claimed success 17-14 in a massive game of rugby. Five-from-five would have been nice heading into the bye week, but now Southern only need to knock over Lincoln in the final round of pool play to secure their spot – a task which, on their form this season, should be achievable. At Rakaia, it was a tough day out for the locals on their Club Day as they felt the full force of a rampant Southbridge – who again look the goods this season. Their neighbours from over the river ran in 13 tries in an 85-15 shellacking.

Rakaia get a chance to reflect and regroup with the bye this week, but even a bonus point win over Hampstead in the final round of play seems unlikely to help them secure a spot in the top three with Springston – the only team they can surpass – set to play the hapless Hornby in the final round of the competition. It’s a similar situation for Hampstead – other than the fact that even with two bonus point wins they can’t make it into the top three in the pool. They took on the might that is Darfield on the weekend, and while beaten 38-19, there’s an air

of confidence about the Hampstead side that could see them very competitive when the Watters Cup rolls around during the middle of June. Atolofi Lapa grabbed a double in the loss on Saturday afternoon, while Taualai Tofilau scored the other while Malo Tautalaful kicked two conversions. Hampstead played West Melton this week and should be able to build some good momentum ahead of their final round clash with Rakaia at home on May 22 – a taste-tester perhaps to what might lie ahead when the Watters Cup begins.

t’s not Wheels Week in Ashburton without the maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz Ashburton Car Club’s iconic street sprints. This years event wasn’t exactly the same for the club, as they were missing a key member of their family, the late Shayne Adams. But Shayne was there on the day, and was the first one on the track in the passenger seat of good friend, Pete Templeton’s V8 Commodore. With all drivers and crew lined up at the start line, the moment of remembrance was hearing the V8 go around the track, and that journey opened the track for the Shayne Adams Memorial Sprints 2021. “Safe to say there was a lot of not dry eyes,” Ashburton Car Club president Daniel Tew said. The overall winner of the street sprints, Josh Mitchell, felt honoured to win this year’s event. “It’s always an exciting event, but this year was slightly different without our mate Shayne. “The extra factor with him not being there was a bit emotional for everyone,” Mitchell said. This was Mitchell’s second ever win at the event. Being a teenager in Timaru and travelling every May to see the event, it was a real buzz to win it, he said. Beating street sprints legend Glenn Frew, Mitchell said he was privileged to race against him. “He is a good mate of mine, and known as the king of the street sprints. He was a benchmark to beat. We both drive on the limit and drive fast,” he said. Tew was grateful to everyone who helped the committee and to those who set up on Friday and packed up on Sunday night and Monday. “I hope I helped run it to a similar standard for Shayne,” Tew said. The Ashburton Car Club were thankful to all the sponsors, prize givers, volunteers, marshals, crew members and drivers for their support. By Maddison Gourlay

Fahey, Veint claim Findlay honours

In brief Loss for Spartans The Mid Canterbury Combined 1st XV had a tough start to their season on Saturday, losing 0-31 against a strong Marlborough Boys College 1st XV on their home turf at Ashburton College. In a depleted side with up to five players out with injury, the side called on a number of their younger charges from lower grades to step in and fill the void, but the mountain was simply too tall. However, the side will be out to pick themselves up and dust themselves off this week when they head to Waimea to take on Waimea College on Saturday afternoon.

Tennis tournament Mid Canterbury Tennis is keeping the train rolling during the winter break with a junior and open grade tournament to be held at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre this weekend. The tournament is seen as a great way for players to get in some extra court time over the winter with limited tournaments available. Held over one day, the tournament will be played in a Fast Four format making for high-speed action-packed tennis across the day’s play.

Tough loss for Mid Canterbury Seniors By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A defeat on Saturday in Canterbury Hockey’s Division One competition has left Mid Canterbury’s Senior Men’s side sitting in the middle of the pack in their return season to the Canterbury wide competition, but all hope is far from lost. The side went down 1-3 on the weekend to Southern United in a hard-fought encounter, and with just four competition points covering second place to sixth, the closeness of the competition is incredibly evident through six rounds.

Altrusa Club

Altrusa International of Ashburton held its Annual General Meeting, chaired by the outgoing President Kay Begg. Reports from the committees outlined their activities in the previous Altrusan year. The District Fifteen Altrusa Conference for New Zealand was held in Timaru in early May. Ashburton Altrusa gained several awards and recognition of the work we have completed in the community in this last year. The Foot Clinic has averaged 26 clients in each of their six-weekly clinics since the June lockdown. The Fabric and Craft Bazaar was a major success, with an estimated 1500 voluntary hours over some weeks. Part of the proceeds will be used to purchase an AED (cardiac defibrillator) for the Sinclair Centre where the Bazaar was held. Plans are being made to once again

build up a Curtain Bank, to make curtains using suitable left-over fabrics, to be donated to various charities in town for those who will appreciate the extra warmth in their houses this winter.

Ashburton Golf Club

Quite a few interesting results from the first round of the Watson Cup. It seems to have the feel that straight and steady will overcome smash it and see. Young Blair Snowball almost wrote himself into folklore, having to play on his own after a late call off by dad, he had the Hamptons worried sick as he was 3 up well into the back nine. Luckily for Dave and Ryan they found a few shots late in the game and just snuck home. They will now take on Paul Greer and Brian Fauth, who trampled all over the Stoddart and Bird combination. Chris Lovelock and Ron Carlson put Leaky and Ram Clarke to the sword and will now play against the interesting pairing of Grant Hastie and Lucas McGee. Kevin Smith and Barry Jury will be hoping for a quieter game this week. After easily dispatching Richard Mc and John Ramsey, they now turn their sight to Robbie and Ross, who turned over pre-race favourites Hamish and Tom. Don’t know what happened there, maybe Tom brought the wrong sandwiches. Dave Robertson and Ian Rive took down the big bombers Jason and Terry and they will now face David Fisher and Robert Pawsey, who had the annual Watson Cup walkover that is Lefty and Ken. Not sure how many more years Ken is going to put up with this. I reckon the pairing needs a trip to the vet and putting out of its misery. It really is the kindest thing to do, the suffering is getting painful to watch. These games all take place on Saturday off number one tee. On number 10 tee the first round silver medallists, no that sounds weird. The first round nearly winners. No, no. Lets just go with the losers, will play for the Newton Trophy. I don’t think there is another competition for the Newton trophy first round losers, but I will find out. I will ask Lefty and Ken they are bound to know. Last Saturday, top score in the Stableford round was 41 points on countback to Mike Holmes, just pipping Chris Robertson and Bill Hetrick. Well done fellas. The Jolly boys seem to be having fun on the Gold Coast, news from the first round is that Old Spud managed five 3 putts and at $2 a pop it could end up being an expensive holiday for him. With six months to go before the Men’s Interpro-

Hinds Women’s Institute

Hinds W.I has had quite a busy time of late. The March meeting took the form of an outing on a cloudy and damp day to the Mid Canterbury Animal Welfare Centre - the Cattery on Seafield Road. A good number of us met in the early afternoon of Wednesday the 24th and were greeted by Mrs Rallou Keeley who is in charge of the cats housed there. She spoke about the work they do to find homes for many of the cats and kittens, and the occasional pups which come into the centre’s care, and following a collection of donated items of linen and food for the animals as our Roll Call, were taken around the premises. All of the cats were seemed to be well cared for and all seemed to enjoy the fuss being made of them. After thanking Mrs Keeley for her time we all then headed off to Millhouse restaurant for a lovely afternoon tea, followed by a short meeting when such matters as the forthcoming Cup Day and programme were discussed. A good number of WI members, contributing to a full house, attended the Event Centre’s presentation of “Anzac Stories and Songs from the Front Line” at the Event Centre on Saturday the 24th April. This was an amazing range of items of entertainment along with some nostalgia and poignancy, interspersed with audience sing-alongs. Ashburton can be proud of the talent it has in its midst. The next day found our members again busy with the Hinds Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving on Anzac Day at the Hinds Community Centre. Assisted by Lions wives and others, a sumptuous morning tea was served at the conclusion of what was a very well attended and moving Parade and service. Our April meeting following the Anzac theme was held at the home of Graeme and Jo Wilson in Johnston Street, Tinwald on Wednesday April 28 when each of us shared what we knew of the war experiences through relatives who have served overseas or had been in camp in preparation for the hostilities. There

CLUB NEWS 33 were a few war artifacts brought along to show, and tell their stories. The roll call for this meeting was, biscuits for 206 Club and the Thought for the Day was: “Decide that you will not try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out.” A lot of talking and catching up was accompanied by a lovely afternoon tea.

MIDWEEK SPORT

Premier’s dark horses By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

The statement that things aren’t often as they appear is apt for the Ashburton College Netball side. Two weeks into the Mid Canterbury Netball Premier competition and the side are winless, but a result only tells half the story, and even some of the district’s most astute netball judges are predicting good things from the young side at this early stage of the season. While beaten, they’ve been far from disgraced, and in both matches, first against Celtic and

then against Methven last week, there have been times where the girls from College have looked better than their opposition. And for coach, Emma Silva, it’s made her proud. “The girls have been improving from week-to-week and put up some really strong performances, we just haven’t quite been able to get over the line, but we’ve been right there on both occasions,” she said. And things are set to only get better as more game time on the court sees the side grow and prosper as a unit. And getting time on the court hasn’t been an issue over the past

two weeks, that’s for sure. Tomorrow night’s game will be the seventh for the side since the Premier 1 competition began a fortnight ago. They’ve played two competition matches locally, four qualifying matches for Supernet 2021, and kick off their campaign in the secondary schools’ competition proper today when they play Rangiora High School this afternoon at Pioneer Stadium in Christchurch. Then it’s back home to prepare for round three of the Mid Canterbury competition tomorrow night. “It’s a busy schedule, but we have put a real emphasis on man-

aging loading for the team this year. That’s ensuring they are getting the down time they need and keeping a pretty close eye on everyone too.” Tomorrow night they will take on Southern in a bottom-of-thetable clash, with both sides yet to grab a win from their two matches in the competition. And Silva believes she knows what’s coming. “Southern are a good side, a very physical side too – probably more physical than most of our girls have met before, so there’s been a bit of a focus on tidying up that area of our game, and learning to be able to front up to

the physicality. “It’s a match we are aiming to win, for sure – but we are aiming to win every match when we step onto the court, so it’s no different to any other week for us.” Just another game of netball then, but perhaps one that really kick-starts the Ashburton College charge for 2021. In other matches this week in Premier 1, giant-killers of last week United will look to back up their win over Hampstead when they take on Methven, while Hampstead will be out for redemption when they take on competition leaders, Celtic in the late game of the night.
