Blue September Breakfast puts a spotlight on prostate cancer
MATT BROWN
Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ Marlborough support coordina tor Murray Eyles says prostate cancer is sadly more common than most people think. “It’s not an old man’s disease,” Murray says. “The younger you are tested, the better chance you have to survive it. I started getting tested when I was 40.” He runs the Marlborough sup port group for men, their part ners and families that meets the first Tuesday of the month, as well as the new Prost-Fit exercise class; A range of exercises specifi cally designed for men with pros tate cancer. “It’s a journey not just for men but their families as well.” Murray says getting tested is vital, as the cancer is often treatable if caught early enough. “Blokes don’t talk about those things downstairs,” he says. “Guys need to talk about looking after themselves, being frank.” This year, Blue September hopes to raise more than $1 million. Funds raised are used for vital research into the disease and its impact, to create awareness through education and outreach programmes, and to advocate for better access to diagnosis and treatments that are so desperately Murrayneeded. says their last breakfast, which saw rugby stars Andy El lis and Wyatt Crockett share their stories, had the best turnout yet.

Apps hold amazing potential as mental health and wellbeing tools. You can carry them everywhere, engage with them in real time as you’re experiencing distress, and interact with them in a completely different way to other self-help tools. It is important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your doctor’s advice, and there is no current accreditation system for apps that are designed.
Tips for providing help to children after a crisis:
• Keep communication open by asking questions to find out what they are thinking or imagining. Tell them how adults feel and what the actions of adults under stress mean. This will prevent children blaming themselves.
• Maintain routine and familiarity to help children see that life is secure and

• Keep them informed of how their recovery is going and what to expect.
Supporting the mental health of our rangatahi (youth) Why apps are important self-help tools?
Positive mental health is often connected to having a sense of purpose, knowing who we are, being able to do the things that matter to us and feeling connected to others. This is linked to resilience, which is having positive ways to deal with your feelings, recover from things that impact you and enjoy life even when things are hard.
• Encourage them to express emotions. Fear and sadness are their way of coming to terms with what has happened. Hold them or stay with them, offer support while they are upset and talk about it afterwards.
Smiling mind An app where you can practice daily meditation and mindfulness exercises from any Mindshiftdevice.
•predictable.Reducechange of any type to a minimum. When change is necessary, take time to prepare children for it.
• Discuss with children what has happened. Giving them the facts without unnecessary detail helps prevent their imagination taking over.
Helping our young people to understand and navigate their mental health and build resilience after a crisis is core to supporting them through this time. What is mental health?
It’s important to know, though, that having positive mental health overall doesn’t mean you’re excluded from experiencing mental distress. Our hauora is not individual. It’s a weaving together of our whānau, our whakapapa, our connection to the world around us and our beliefs. This helps us form an identity that connects us to our past, grounds us in our present and lifts us up to the opportunities our future holds. It means that we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves, and within this we can find people who care and support, stories that uplift us and help us to feel connected and heard, and a sense of belonging and acceptance of who we are.
Your mental health is closely linked to how you think and feel about yourself and others, how you create and manage relationships and friendships and the ways that you’re able to cope with the ups and downs of emotions that you face in your everyday life. Where to get help you’re thinking about harming yourself or are having suicidal thoughts, call Lifeline on 0508 82 88 to someone who cares and can you.
• Make time for just being together. Take time out and re-establish recreational activities and outings as soon as you can. Having fun is an important part of healing.

And the Mako head into their socalled ‘Storm Week’ on the back of a good old-fashioned hiding, being comprehensively outplayed 52-20 by a slick Canterbury com bination at Lansdowne Park on Friday evening. Mako co-head coach Gray Cor nelius had praise for their oppo “Theysition. are a pretty experienced team, with a lot of depth and a lot of leadership … probably their rugby IQ was a lot better than ours tonight,” he said.
reversal was their third consecutive loss, leaving them languishing in fifth position on the pool B points table, outside the quarterfinal picture at the Onmoment.Friday, Tasman travel to Palmerston North to play Mana watu, they tackle Wellington in Nelson on Wednesday, then meet Taranaki, also at Trafalgar Park, on Sunday afternoon. A daunt ing proposition, especially given their current form. Against Canterbury the writ ing was on the wall at halftime, with the visitors ahead 24-3.

After an early exchange of penal ties by first fives Campbell Parata and Fergus Burke, Canterbury quickly asserted control. Relentless ball maintenance and patterned attack saw the visitors cross the line twice within two minutes, Tasman unable to with stand a steady stream of attack. Light-footed winger Manasa Ma taele scored the first in the 14th minute, quickly followed by a five-pointer to hard-working lock Sam Darry. Both were converted by TheBurke.Mako, stung by the double blow, roared back, a long period of goal line pressure, hindered by slow ball at the breakdown, end ing with a try in the left corner to lively winger Macca Springer. Canterbury’s response was swift, lock Dominic Gardiner scoring immediately after a succession of rapid phases, Burke again doing the honours from the kicking tee to give his side a well-deserved 24-8 lead which they took into the sheds at halftime. Scrum pressure five minutes into the second spell brought Can terbury their fourth and bonus point try, Burke slicing through following a scrum penalty and efficient lineout drive to score, then converting his own try to give Canterbury an unassailable 31-8 lead. The visitors widened the margin soon after with another simple try, Mataele kicking ahead on the right flank and midfielder Rame ka Poihipi winning the race to the touchdown. Burke again convert Nexted. on the board was Canter bury skipper Billy Harmon, the loosie bursting through some flimsy defence. Burke’s conver sion made the score 45-8 and the half century loomed large. However, the Mako were not fin ished, Springer bagging a second try when he outsprinted George Bridge to dive onto the ball in the Canterbury in-goal area. Willie Havili’s conversion brought up double points for the home side. Again, Canterbury replied quick ly, prop Tamaiti Williams barg ing over, Burke’s conversion tak ing the visitors past the 50 point Unfittingly,mark. it was the home side who had the final say, Havili dotting down on the blind side, bringing an end to what turned into something of a rugby lesson for a Mako side whose commit ment couldn’t be questioned. Scorers: Canterbury 52 (Mana sa Mataele, Sam Darry, Dominic Gardiner, Rameka Poihipi, Fer gus Burke, Billy Harmon, Tamai ti Williams tries, Burke 7 con, pen) Tasman 20 (Macca Spring er 2 tries, Willie Havili try, con, Campbell Parata pen). HT: 24-8 ahead for Tasman Mako
“Coming up we have got Mana watu, then a mid-weeker against Wellington then Taranaki, so in many way it is the best thing for us … we don’t have time to dwell too much [about tonight’s re sult],” said Gray. “We have to get back on the horse. We have got a few guys banged up but we have just got to pick ourselves up and try to nail those basic things around exiting, set piece and defence, little things that become big things when you are playing a quality team.” Despite the dearth of experience in the Tasman side this year, with a string of top players absent ei ther on All Blacks duty or the in jury list, Gray is still confident the current crop can get the job done. “For sure … I will always back our boys,” he said. “There is no shortage of effort, energy and care … we have just got to hang in there and things will come our Friday’sway.”
The Red and Blacks continued their onslaught in the second 45 minutes, making quick amends for a shock loss to Taranaki last weekend. Tasman bagged three consolation tries, but were well short of the mark against a ruth less rival.
“They nailed the basics and we didn’t, so that was the difference.” So, after three losses in a row, what can be done to turn the tide?

What a difference a few weeks of provincial rugby make. On Saturday at Lansdowne Park, North Harbour reversed a heavy defeat previously this season, beating the Tasman Mako wom en’s side 31-20 in their Farah Palmer Cup quarterfinal show down. Earlier this month Tasman downed Harbour 42-15 in round robin play at the same venue, but it was a different story on Satur day with a place in the semis on the Harbour’sline.

“It was disappointing that we didn’t play as well as we could today but that is just perfor are just going to have to get bet ter at handling that area of the game … we have had exposure to it now so I am sure they will go away, do their homework over summer and get hungry by Jan uary to come back into the FPC next year,” she added.

Resurgent Harbour side prove a bridge too far for Tasman
win was based around their scrummaging supremacy, earning them a string of penalties and making sure any ball from that source Tasman managed was immediately on the back foot. Harbour led all the way but, to their credit Tasman stayed in the fight, holding the visitors to 15-7 at halftime and closing the gap to 24-20 with five minutes remain ing. However, fittingly, the vis itors had the final say. Their late try sealed the deal and sparked wild celebrations from the Hibis cus players and staff at the final whistle. Mako head coach Mel Bosman said North Harbour’s re surgence and scrummaging pow er as expected. “We thought we would be playing them in the quarterfinals so we were watching them and saw that they were building quite nicely … so we knew they weren’t going to be the same team we had played a few weeks ago. They had done their “Theyhomework.havegota seriously strong scrum, the most experienced props in the competition, so we knew that the scrums would be tough and we have first-year props in our team so it was always going to be a tough grind. Having said that, I thought we could have handled that a bit better, tidied up the loose ball at the back, but that’s the way it goes.”
Despite their quarterfinal exit, Mel was pleased with how far the squad had come this season.

Boys’ College First XV players and management can finally re flect on a successful season. Described as “… a bunch of champions who earnt the jersey weekly”, by head coach Tonga Taumoefolau, the NZ King Salm on MBC Falcons finished sixth in the Miles Toyota Championship, reaching the Plate final which they lost to Shirley in another close However,encounter.the experienced mentor said the side had achieved its goals, both on and off the field.
The team won half of their 14 fix tures, their widest losing margin being 16 points. Although they lost to championship finalists, Nelson College and St Bede’s, they were highly competitive in both games. “To come out and compete each week, especially against the big schools, that’s pretty tough. “But it was never about winning every game” said Tonga, “that is nearly impossible in this compe tition. We just concentrated on performing to our potential, that was what we measured ourselves against each week … putting in lots of hard work and improving the areas we needed to. “They were a little gritty side who were prepared to put their bodies on the line week-in, week-out.”
“That’s what made [the 2022 team] such a pleasure to be a part of.”
MBC First XV gains top marks

“We realised our potential as a team,” he said, “we were compet itive in every match we played, both at home and on the road.
The experienced coach is unde cided whether to throw his hat in the ring for the job next season, looking forward to a well-earned break from rugby after such an intense campaign. Travel is always a challenge for the MBC side in Crusaders re gion competition, but Tonga said this year they decided to turn it into a positive rather than a neg
Tonga said the words had special significance for the Falcons, with references to coming from the country, doing their predecessors proud and enjoying themselves at all times. “A lot of guys are head-butting walls and whatever before they run out, our guys were singing songs,” he said with a smile.
Underpinning Tonga’s coaching ethos was the desire to create an off-field environment which would lead to on-field success and companionship. “We had a ton of fun off the field,” he explained, “you set the foun dation with the culture and if that is right everything else falls into Toplace.”that end, the management team came up with themed gath erings and mini-event, includ ing ‘Wacky Wednesday’ and a ‘Club of Origin’ day when players turned up in their JAB gear. “It was awesome to have so much fun along the way,” Tonga added, “and to remember why we play rugby, especially at this age.”

Quins lead 25-23 with the game very much in the balance and neither team able to gled with throughout, and by three quarter time Quins held a four-goal advantage. A 6-2 run by Quins soon after the start of the final stanza gave them some breathing space but MGC, sparked by inspirational co-cap tain Mya Wiapo in defence, con tinued to rein them in. However, another Quins’ run pushed them 10 ahead and although the stu dents threw everything into at tack in the final few minutes, it was too little, too late. Fittingly, Hamilton landed the final goal, her contribution at the attacking end understated but invaluable.

Pelorus will meet Harlequins in Saturday’s Marlborough premier netball final after contrasting semi-final victories at Stadium 2000 on Tuesday. Pelorus cruised into the competi tion decider on September 3 with a 61-11 win over Tokomaru, then Harlequins came out on top of a torrid battle with Marlborough Girls’ College, prevailing 50-44. With Tokomaru struggling to wards the latter stages of a diffi cult season the late game always shaped as a more compelling match-up, and so it proved. MGC made their usual fast start, pushing out to a two-goal advan tage at end of a first quarter in which both sides were affected by early nerves. With speedy midcourters Stormy Tupara and Mele Moli adding pace to their attack, the students found trusty shooter Fiaalii Sol omona with relative ease and the score mounted steadily. The second quarter was equally tight.

Toko, short on experienced per sonnel, now face the prospect of regrouping for next season, while potentially losing a few of their side to tertiary studies outside the region. It has been a tough season for the Picton club who deserve plenty of kudos for fronting up week-in, week-out.
Pelorus v Harlequins
Pelorus coach Janine Jordaan Millie Wensley and Lesieli Tau fa are relatively inexperienced at this level, they are providing en thusiasm and clever option-tak Theing. regular defensive circle duo of Danielle Moffatt and Mara Mc Curdy will be key figures in the final while, in Paige Lovell, Karli Murphy and Liv Pinkerton they have three shooting options, the former pair vastly experienced.
Quins stuck with their starting seven throughout, using Mac kenzie Baird at goal keep and Simone Pedersen at wing attack, their combinations with Olivia Robinson and Bridget Gane re spectively contributing to a fine team effort by a side who will very much fancy their chances of lowering Pelorus’s colours in the grand final. MGC may be finished in this competition, but they have plenty on their plate, with a trip to the forthcoming South Island sec ondary school champs in Timaru which began on August 29 and runs until September 1 to look forward to. Capable of playing superb, flow ing netball at times, MGC have the potential to create a stir at ing for the club’s first premier ti tle when they step out at Stadium 2000 in the decider. They made short work of a Toko team who were outclassed from the opening whistle.
