NEWS IN BRIEF

Schools in comp to win Richie visit

• On Friday and Saturday nights police across New Zealand and Australia will hold Operation Unite, a high visibility campaign aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm. In Nelson, police will have checkpoints in and around the city and will be breath-testing all drivers. There will also be high visibility policing of the Liquor Licensing laws. On an average day New Zealand police deal with 44 people or groups who are so intoxicated they can not take care of themselves. The impact on police resources is increased on a Friday and Saturday night. Over the last year, one third of all recorded violence offences involved an offender who had consumed alcohol. In serious offences, such as homicides, half of the offenders and victims had been consuming alcohol.

• Residents have recently told Council what they want for our city for the next 12 months through the draft Annual Plan process, now it’s time to find out how they rate Council’s service and performance. The Council will be surveying by telephone 400 randomly selected residents for their views starting around May 9 and running for the next couple of weeks. A report to Council on the survey findings is due by August.

DEVIATION: Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne and Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio were at the opening of the Richmond Deviation cycle track yesterday afternoon. The pair donned helmets and participated in a time trial along 100 metres of the track with no clear winner eventuating; however Richard says he claimed style points while Aldo was able to say he provided plenty of enthusiasm.

Nelson school students are lacing up their walking shoes in aid of a nationwide competition to win a helicopter visit by iconic All Black captain Richie McCaw. The sought after prize is being awarded by Westpac to the school in New Zealand that raises the most money for their local rescue helicopter throughout the month of May. Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust marketing and communications manager Paula Muddle says the Richie competition coincides perfectly with the Trust’s 20 Summit Challenge, an event celebrating Summit Rescue Helicopter’s 20th birthday. The 20 Summit Challenge involves climbing up one or more of 20 local summits, starting with a community climb up the Centre of New Zealand on Sunday 22 May. Schools have until this Friday to register at www.20summits.co.nz/schools.

Saxton radio mast must be moved FROM PAGE 1 lengths and the same type of radiation that runs off a cell phone, is being emitted from the mast at levels up to 1341 kHz, according to the NRL report. Radiation that high can cause body tissue to heat up and raise body temperatures, according to the Ministry of Health website.

Director of Mainland Television, Gary Watson says it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. Gary has worked with broadcasting frequencies for 40 years and says the fear of the “big unknown” is enough to warrant its removal.

“We know that the experts can get it wrong.”

Discussions about the mast have been ongoing since 2002 and three weeks ago a letter addressed to Radio NZ was sent out by Sport Tasman and Nelson City Council hoping to spark final negotiations.

This coincides with sporting groups requesting its removal in recent submissions to the council draft annual plan. Clive Beaumont, of Nelson Bays Football, says he has faith in the Nelson City

Council’s decision to deem the grounds usable but would like to see the mast moved to create more playing space.

“I’m not quite sure whether there are any safety implications whatsoever. I doubt the council would let us play football around the tower if there was such danger to one’s health.”

Aldo says the actual dollar cost to relocate the mast or build a new one is not “insurmountable” but the biggest hurdle is Radio NZ agreeing to sell the land back to Nelson City Council in return for a new area, he says.

Other options for the location of the mast include Wakapuaka, where a Radio Rhema tower already sits, or into Tasman. Nelson City Council park and facilities manager, Paul McArthur, says the removal would be beneficial for the long term development of Saxton Field. He says the current mast is meeting all necessary standards but said “it’s not ideal”, when asked about the radiation risks in such a highly populated area.

NCC and Sport Tasman hope the reply from Radio NZ to arrive in the coming weeks.

Royal bride uses our honey for beauty Andrew Board What Nelson people use to spread on their toast new royal Kate Middleton has reportably been spreading on her face – much to the surprise and delight of the Nelson producers.

The New Zealand Herald reported that the royal bride may have been using Nelson bee venom in a face treatment ahead of her wedding to Prince William late last month. The Bee Venom Mask, supposedly an alternative to botox, is used by the Prince’s stepmother, Camilla, and is also reported to be used by Dannii Minogue, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The mask is said to work by gently stinging the skin, leaving a tingling sensation and causing the body to direct bloody flow to the area, reported the Herald. It claims to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which reduce wrinkles by relaxing and strengthening muscles.

And the main ingredient of the mask is Nectar Ease, a type of manuka honey made by Nelson Honey for the past three decades. Its general manager Terry Bone says the company was surprised to learn its role in the royal wedding but says it does sell a lot of honey to the founder of the Bee Venom Mask in the UK, Deborah Mitchell. “We were

shocked and surprised but since news broke we’ve been flat out, the phone has gone off the hook. We didn’t really know what she was doing with our honey, but we have a fair idea now.”

Terry says enquiries about the mask have been coming in thick and fast, so much so the family-owned business, based near Kohatu, is developing its own mask and is thinking of calling the new product ‘Kate’s Cream’. “We just got some testing back on Friday and will launch it soon, we’ve had so many requests for it we thought it would be silly not to make one, since the bulk of the product we make right here.”

Nectar Ease was made to help with arthritis and joint mobility and has also been developed into a cream by Nelson Honey.

The ingredient that makes the honey, cream and face mask so beneficial is the extra bee venom which is collected placing a glass screen on top of hives as small electrical currents run through it, which encourages them to sting the glass, from which the venom is collected.

Deborah Mitchell was reported by the Herald as saying: “The bee venom completely changed Dannii Minogue and my other clients love it so much that we have waiting lists.”

Terry says he will probably stick to using his Nectar Ease on his toast.

Extinguisher saves family as heater throws flames Andrew Board When Sara and Liam Butler moved into their Stoke home five years ago Sara’s father told them to put a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, just in case.

Last month was just that case and the family say the extinguisher and quick thinking saved their home.

Liam was running a shower for his two young daughters one evening and flicked on the bathroom heater while he checked the water with his hand with his daughters at his side. When he turned back around he saw fire spewing from the heater and spreading across the walls and ceiling of their bathroom. Sara says adrenaline was running high but they were able to get their daughters out of the bathroom and Liam used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire, and ultimately, save their home.

Sara says they would not be without CLOSE CALL: Holly Butler, 4, plays with her new favourite toy after a fire erupted in the bath- a fire extinguisher now. room she was in with her sister and dad last month.

“

$80 or whatever it is, it saved our home.”

Nelson fire investigator Rob Dalton says the family did the right thing but that doesn’t mean it will be the right thing for everyone.

“The fire service is about people safety so if you spot the fire early, have a well-maintained fire extinguisher, know how to use it and feel confident using it then go ahead.

“Otherwise close the door to the room with the fire and, in the case of a heater fire, turn off the mains switch, get out of the house and call the fire service right away.”

Rob says it’s great if families have their own extinguisher but they should take the time to learn out to use it and have it maintained annually.

The Butler family are happy to help spread the word. “I’ve been telling everyone to get one,” says Sara. “It’s a bargain for what it can save.”

Rob says the best thing people can do is make sure they have enough smoke alarms and that they all work.

The walk started at the Jennian Homes headquaters in Richmond and made its way along the cycle path towards Stoke. The ladies then turned back and headed along the main road to the finish line.

The event, which raises awareness about heart disease, especially in women, is an annual event.

Museum gets famous Peter Bush collection New Zealand rugby’s greatest photographer will be at the Nelson Provincial Museum this weekend, helping launch his exhibition in what is being described as a “real coup” for the city.

In Rugby World Cup year demand for the Peter Bush exhibition has been unprecedented and Museum chief executive Peter Millward says Nelson has been fortunate to get it.

The exhibition is being opened by Peter Bush and rugby commentator Keith Quinn this Friday night and will feature large numbers of his photographs of the All Blacks.

Peter Bush started working on the sidelines as a young cadet for the New Zealand Herald in 1949, at a game between the All Blacks and the Wallabies.

Since then, he has photographed hundreds of matches at home and overseas, enjoying privileged access to the All Black teams, both on and off the One of the classic photographs of the Peter Bush field.

The exhibition collection that will be on also includes sev- display at the Nelson Proeral mural sized vincial Muyseum from works and a DVD this weekend. Don “The in which Peter Boot” Clark kicking a goal Bush recounts the for the All Blacks. stories behind his iconic images.

The exhibition is visiting 13 New Zealand centres and is sponsored by Canon NZ nationally and the Collingwood RFC locally.

The exhibition will run in Nelson from May 14 until July 17.

A digital display of historic images from the Museum Collection, Peter Bush images and pictures provided by local rugby clubs will run continuously in the Museum’s Trafalgar St window right through the Rugby World Cup, which has been made possible with support of Harvey Norman Electrical and Bowater Motor Group.

Two day Italian festival flying into Nelson Italy will be coming to Nelson a little earlier than expected this September with the New Zealand Italian Festival confirmed to come here a week before the Italian rugby team plays in Nelson.

Organisers are putting on a two day Italian extravaganza for Nelson in the expansive newly-built Air Nelson Hangar.

The Nelson event is confirmed for September 17 and 18, the weekend before the Italian rugby team plays its first game in Nelson that month.

The Festival will be based on the successful NZ Italian Festival held in Wellington, which has been running for 15 years, celebrating the Italian lifestyle by

Nelson, with the incredible support of Air Nelson and the Nelson City Council, particularly given Nelson’s meaningful connection with Italy.

“Nelson has one of the largest Italian communities in New Zealand and is regarded as the South Island Italian capital,” says Antonio. “It was always our hope that we would one day bring our Festival to Nelson, and with the fantastic assistance of the Nelson City Council and Air Nelson, we will be putting on a wonderful Italian weekend event for the region.

For more information go to www.theitalianfestivalnewzealand.com/nelson.

showcasing the best of Italy, from food and wine, interior design, aviation and motoring, to art and music. At the Nelson event there will be Italian entertainment, live music, cooking demonstrations, and a long Italian table (Tavolata) hosted by Wellington’s La Bella Italia.

Air Nelson has come on board as the Festival’s key local sponsor, and the event has also been awarded sponsorship funding through the Nelson Events Marketing and Development Programme (NEMDP).

Cav. Antonio Cacace, festival organiser and founder of La Bella Italia, says he is thrilled to be bringing the Festival to

The Harbour Master’s

diary

• Another busy week at the Port this week. We had the Santa Regina of the Bluebridge service continue her weekly visits, a delivery of vehicles from a car carrier, four large container ships, nine large fishing vessel movements, several more smaller vessels moved around the port, a rig tender, the cement ship, and a large bulk carrier undergoing continued maintainance and repairs meant the wharf ’s berths were all well occupied.

• Congratulations to the Canoe and kayak club for their proactive moves to get their members kayaks well lit for when paddling during the hours of dusk or darkness.

• As you may all be aware now work has begun on the new finger piers to be built by way of the Ackersten St boat ramp.

Please be extra vigilant in your lookout for pedestrians crossing the ramp, small vessels accessing the port and for new piles driven that will eventually support the piers.

Be aware of the tidal influence that may sweep the unwary down on to these piles with disastrous consequences as one pair rowing a skiff found out this summer.

Always wear your life jacket, If in doubt - don’t go out, Dave Duncan, Harbour Master/Marine Operations Manager.

Lawyer offers free legal advice Nelson lawyer Jim Ennion became a lawyer to help. So his new job is fitting him like a glove.

Jim is the newest lawyer at Nelson Bays Community Law Service, a free legal service that acts as a first port of call for those who maybe cannot afford the services of a lawyer. The service is funded partially by interest earned on solicitors trust accounts and by the government.

Jim started last month after working at another Nelson law firm after graduating from law school.

He says the change of pace and work suits him to down to the ground.

“I’m really loving it. Each day I speak with a number of people and get to have a really positive impact on their lives. It’s really rewarding work.”

Jim says he is keen to help anyone who needs advice on the law and has already helped those with immigration, employment, custody and housing problems. For more information call the service on 548 1288.

Artists quick to enter Nelson exhibition The opportunity to have work on show alongside the elusive Banksy is dragging in entrants from around New Zealand to Oi You! a street art exhibition timed to coincide with the Nelson Arts Festival and the Rugby World Cup in October.

Organiser George Shaw says with two weeks to go he’s overwhelmed with the level of interest and the number of hits on the StreetArt website. He says the 200 people already registered are

mainly in the open section and he’s expecting a huge response still to come from schools before May 16. And he says he’s not really surprised at the level of interest.

“This is the age of citizen journalism, it’s the age of the YouTube video and art is the last bastion to fall to DIY. Art is not about being able to paint a landscape or someone’s portrait, it’s about expressing your ideas - that’s what gets people excited about urban art.”

George and his wife Shannon have 23 Banksy limited edition prints and originals that will make up the core of the Oi You! exhibition. The 2011 Oi You! exhibition will be staged in the cavernous interior of an old gasworks that’s part of Nelson’s Founders Heritage Park. An easy walk from the city centre, the Energy Centre is a 650 sq metre 10-sided building with an industrial feel that ideally lends itself to a show of urban art.

Details on the exhibition and the competition are at www.streetart.co.nz.

A heartbreaking disease ‘scary and confusing’ Andrew Board Clutching his pillow with all his strength while trying to figure out how to sneak out of the neighbours bedroom is a terrifying ordeal for Nelson man Alan Barker.

And heartbreaking for his wife Elaine.

Alan has Alzheimer’s Disease and often wakes up thinking he is in his neighbour’s bedroom, the reality may not be so but for Alan it is as real and scary as it gets.

“He grabs his pillow so tight and is so afraid of getting caught in the neighbour’s bedroom, he tries to sneak out. It is really hard to watch,” says Elaine.

Alan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s shortly after moving to Nelson from Tauranga four years ago. Elaine says being in Nelson with no friends or family and watching her proud husband lose his memory has been tough.

“It is upsetting, it’s not natural thing to be living with your husband like this when you knew what he was like. The first signs of Alan’s dementia was putting things in wrong places, leaving doors open that usually aren’t open, just little things but it was very gradual. Now the worst things are the delusions and hallucinations, it’s psychotic really.”

Alan says he often loses train of thought while in mid conversation and admits it is scary not knowing what is happening and not being able to control his mind.

He has seen cats slide out of the tomato sauce bottle, thought Elaine was their daughter for SOUL MATES: Alan Barker receives a kiss on the cheek from his wife and car- a whole weekend, sees dogs in their bed and egiver Elaine. Alan has Alzheimers Disease which causes him to forget where he will find himself lost while out walking on streets he knows. is and what he is doing. Photo: Andrew Board.

He now carries a card with his name and address on it, just in case his memory doesn’t return to get him home.

Alan’s battle with the incurable disease is a similar battle thousands of Kiwi’s go through, currently there are more than 43,000 people with Alzheimer’s in New Zealand.

Elaine says a saving grace for the both of them has been finding Alzheimer’s support in Nelson. “It’s just thank goodness for Alzheimer’s Society, it’s everything, if I hadn’t walked up those stairs that day I don’t know what would have happened because I wasn’t getting any help from my GP and I didn’t have family. The public need to be aware that there is help out there.”

Alan worked in the motor trade his whole life but now is overrun with other thoughts.

“I often see him just sitting staring and I often wonder what is going on in that mind.

Understanding what he is going through is a big thing, you can’t yell or swear at them because they don’t know they are doing it so really it’s the understanding.”

Despite the loss of memory and hallucinations Alan and Elaine still share a drink together each night. “Alan gets his gin bottle out and I have a wine. We try to keep doing normal things,” says Elaine. “It’s just such a shame, knowing that he is only going to get worse, the best thing we can do is look after him, make sure he is comfortable and make sure he is as happy as can be. But I know it’s going to be hard down the track.”

For more information on Alzheimer’s Society, or to make a donation, call the Nelson office on 546-7702.

Book your vehicle in for a pre-winter check with your local MTA member business. The experts know what to look for – oil levels, wiper blades, filters, battery and tyre pressure amongst other things. By doing this you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that your vehicle is ready for the conditions.

Experience shows that if a car is going to fail, it’s most likely to do so when in the harshest operating conditions – and for most owners, that’s the winter months.

For all your Manual & CVT Transmission & Power Steering, requirements

Make sure your tyres are properly inflated.

Over-inflation can reduce the gripping action of tyres because the tread will not meet the road surface as it was designed to do.

If you’re going to be driving in the snow, make sure you have the correct chains and snow tyres (if fitted) – it’s now the law that when you use snow tyres that all four are in fact snow tyres.

When you’re driving in wintry conditions it is essential to keep the tyres rolling and not allow them to spin or slide.

3. Good visibility Reduced visibility means you have to budget extra time for every drive.

Before you hit the road make sure you can see out of every window and mirror.

Use a proper windscreen scraper or de-icer to remove ice from your vehicle. Do not use warm water, as this may cause your windscreen to crack.

People often only associate air-conditioning with staying cool during the summer months, but it’s equally vital for ensuring good visibility during the colder months. Get your system checked.

And make sure people can see you. Ensure your lights are all working properly and are correctly adjusted. Get them on early and turn them off late; you may choose to keep them on at all times.

Remember to keep them dipped when travelling in foggy conditions; blasting them on to full only results in the light being reflected straight back at your eyes, making visibility even harder.

4. Know what to expect.

If you’re travelling out of town make sure you know what you’re in for.

Bridges and overpasses ice over faster than normal roads. Why? The earth is warm and normal roads have the warmth of the earth underneath. Shady areas cool more quickly than areas in full sun. The shadows from large trees, buildings and mountains can cause isolated icy spots.

5. Know when to accelerate and when to brake When accelerating, push the accelerator pedal gently. If you do sense wheel-spin, ease back on the pedal immediately until you feel the tyres grip again.

Apply the same principle when braking. Brake gently at first then increase the pedal pressure

progressively. You can brake quite hard as long as the application is smooth.

Remember, don’t steer if you are braking or accelerating and vice versa.

If your vehicle is fitted with ABS and/or a Stability Control system, make sure you know what this can do for you. Get experience of your vehicle’s capabilities and how it reacts, before you get stuck.

Things you might have with you While having things like a first aid kit and fire extinguisher make good sense at any time of the year, there are things that you should consider especially important for the colder months. A torch, perhaps a mat or cover to protect you from the ground should you need to change a tyre, and protective gloves are always a good idea too.

Make your car more efficient

With ever increasing petrol prices, now is a good time to get your vehicle serviced!

NEW LEAGUE: Tasman Rugby League secretary Sharon Tarapipipi and chairman Paul Lafotanoa have helped kick-start rugby league again in Nelson. Photo: Andrew Board.

Two years ago rugby league in Nelson was reduced to several throw-together games.

It’s resurrection has been quick and ferocious, Andrew Board reports.

From Nelson schools to NRL, Tasman Rugby League is making sure local league players have a pathway to the top.

And chairman of TRL, Paul Lafotanoa, says it is only a matter of time before a Nelson lad follows Warriors captain Simon Mannering into the world’s toughest rugby league competition.

“Oh yeah, it will happen and it will fantastic when it does.”

In a little over two years TRL has re-established rugby league in Nelson, creating a primary schools competition and a senior comp for six local teams. And later this year the renamed representative side, the Tasman Titans, will do battle with five other South Island regions.

Paul says competitions for intermediate and college-aged players will be created in the coming years and with the backing of New Zealand Rugby League hopes the sport will continue its rapid growth.

“There are real pathways and that’s what we have been trying to do. Players here in Nelson can be playing in front of NRL scouts by the end of the year if they keep making rep teams.”

TRL has also established a relationship with the Gold Coast Titans, not just taking their name and team colours, but also forging a pathway for young Nelson players. “I met with the Titans over there and they said they are always looking for talented young guys and if we get some they like the look of they will fly them over for an interview,” says Paul.

It is an impressive achievement and secretary Sharon Tipipipi says the explosion of player numbers will continue for some time yet. “We’ve gone from nothing to several hundred and when we expand it will just keep getting bigger and bigger.”

The primary schools competition – known as the Simon Mannering Cup –

kicks off again next week with 100 players already signed up and in late May the first of three Town v Country games will kick off for senior players. Paul says the Titans will be selected from that series which has been developed to have a similar rivalry as State of Origin in Australia.

Sharon and Paul say they are proud of what the sport has achieved in Nelson in such a short time. “We’ve got all these people involved, teams already have a fan base and people are really getting into it.

Each team has new uniforms so they are looking good, playing well and enjoying playing league in Nelson,” says Sharon Rugby league is played each Saturday in Nelson with teams coming from Victory, Tahunanui, Stoke, Wanderers, Motueka and Marlborough.

Nelson wins battle of the colleges in season opener Carol Cook It was definitely a game of two halves when Nelson Girls A met Nayland College A in the Grade 1 encounter.

Nelson appeared tentative through court which enabled Nayland to take the lead with three unanswered goals. Nelson’s defence turned over ball to give an abundance of ball to their shooters however they had difficulty in converting.

The teams could not be separated at the first break and were still locked at 11-all at the major break.

Nelson made three positional changes and introduced Caroline Fergusson and Whitney Orange. Caroline made at immediate impact at wing defence where she gathered in some valuable intercepts and was quick to the loose ball. Giovanna Martin hunted and had a bigger presence at goal defence.

While solid at centre, Ruth Swaney’s move to the wing saw her hit the top of the circle edge for precision feeds.

The second half was one way traffic for Nelson out scoring Nayland 10–3 and 11–3 for a convincing 32–17 win.

Nayland’s goal keep, Sara Reidie stamped her authority on the game when she bolted

out of the blocks to claim her first intercept in the opening seconds. Although she rebounded strongly and claimed another intercept Sara appeared restrained in the one third however her move to wing defence gave her more space to roam where she impressed with her through court defence.

Captain, Micheala Matenga led her team by example – linking beautifully and feeding intelligently while Deanna Hunter was the “go to girl” in the shooting circle, scoring 16 of her team’s goals.

Nelson Girls B had a tough assignment when they faced the more experienced Wanderers Taylors A in a very low scoring Grade 1 game.

Wanderers had more possession and they were 15–9 up at half time.

Nelson found their rhythm in the second half with Nicole Drummond driving well through court. Displaying great vision, she was not afraid to let the long ball go.

Madi Billins could be well pleased with her efforts at goal shoot, converting 21 from 26.

Emma Dallison and Paige Pointon were a formidable defensive duo with each claiming well timed intercepts.

Although coming up short by 25–27, Nelson College will pose a threat in the grade.

Organisers: entries rolling in for Nelson’s newest running event Nelson Event’s newest creation, Escape from Tane’s Forest, has already captured over 80 competitors for its trail run in and around the surrounds of The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary in June.

Two options are available, a 22km course for those comfortably able to complete a half marathon in 2 hours 10 minutes while a shorter 13km is suitable for most runners, joggers and even walkers up to a reasonable fitness standard.

Of the entrants to date over half will travel to Nelson which pleases race director, Greg Dykzeul.

“Attracting visitors to the region in the shoulder and winter season is one of the event’s aims and it’s encouraging to see the response to date” Greg says.

“But the key now is how to turn it the right way to double the current numbers” When searching for a suitable course Greg and his team looked for three principle ingredients and he believes this one has got them all.

History, mystery and scenery are all encompassed along the race routes particularly in the long course with runners ascending 793 metres to Fringed Hill to witness the panoramic views of Nelson

ALUE

City and Tasman Bay below.

The history along the 1862 railtrail and into the mineral belt leads onto the mystery circuit in the sanctuary which certainly will provide the “wow factor” when all set foot in an area which will become special to Nelson as its future develops.

A ‘Muck in with your mates challenge’ has been incorporated into the event where teams of two or three have to start and finish together to go in the draw for a Major Spot Prize.

Be it true mates, work mates, family mates or training mates the challenge is all about it being a great introduction to get into the trail running scene with someone who may just require a bit of mate ship to get them on the start line.

Plus afterwards washing down the post event stories over a specially brewed barrel of McCashin’s Hangi Beer will no doubt cement the satisfaction for a rerun in 2012 Before that though, Nelson Event’s have more to offer in their South Top Strider Trail Series.

The Furneaux Lodge Captain Cook’s Landing on Saturday July 16 is poised for another sell out as only 8 places are left for the ever popular 25km’s along the Queen

Charlotte Track.

September’s Abel Tasman Coastal Classic also nears its sell out status with 34 spots remaining for those wanting to make New Zealand’s premier coastal challenge from Awaroa back to Marahau.

The year ends with the Subway Dun Run

on October 15 which this year doubles as the South Island Masters Trail Running Champs and keen interest is expected for this event Full details for all plus online entries are available online at www.nelsonevents. co.nz.

With the Press Cup trophy in attendance, Nayland College were reminded of the mayhem awaiting them in the form of two-time defending champions St Bede’s College at Nayland on Saturday.

But they will need no reminding of the 114-0 scoreline which they departed with 80 minutes later.

However, the tournament new boys weren’t worried about the scoreline, nor were the loyal supporters, instead they were focused on bettering their loss against Nelson College and there definitely was improvement in the first ever Press Cup match on Nayland soil.

Nayland College bid for Press Cup entry to give their students equal oppor-

tunity and exposure. While the results have been hard, they have been realistic, but individuals are starting to put their hand up, which is pleasing news for coach Ant Holder.

“You’ve got to start somewhere. It’s always good to test yourself against the best team in the South Island,” says Ant. “To to play that kind of calibre of team is good. There will be games that we will have a shot at challenging for but I don’t see many teams beating St Bede’s this season.”

International student Hassan Rayan and Fijian number eight Misaele Tabua were again the standouts, although having the ball in possession was only a rare occurance for the home side.

Captain Connor Riley and second-five Kelly Duff also impressed.

Nayland’s best play of the match came from a Misaele offload which saw a crisp move through the hands from the backline and gained some much needed meters and confidence.

“The guys know that this is the first year and we’re expected to take some heavy defeats. But one day we’ll go out and we’ll win our first game and it will be great. We just search for that day.”

Star center Patrick Tafili-Reid, who missed the St Bede’s game, has overcome a knee injury and will be available for the home clash against St Thomas College of Canterbury on Saturday.

Kick off is at 12noon.

Nelson College stayed undefeated after surpassing St Andrew’s College 22-7. It faces Waimea College at home this Saturday, also at 12noon.
