On Saturday, they went down 15-39 to Sydenham at St Thomas of Canterbury College. The game was originally set to be played at Hospital Corner. However, it was relocated due to flooding.

Weather system likely to produce swells Learn to Surf founder and principal instructor Aaron Lock writes about the weather’s impact on surfing in Sumner and the recent competitions With all this grey wet weather lately, it’s hard to believe our best days of summer were only a month ago. The water temperature peaked early March at 20 deg C but it quickly begun its gradual slide and is now sitting at about 15 deg C. Our tropical cyclone season has come late this year. The silver lining to the wet weather has been some fantastic waves on the local beaches. The last system ex-Cyclone Debbie brought big clean conditions to Sumner and consistent offshore Aaron's Surf Report winds meant for some great waves last week. This week the swell is building again with three ex-tropical lows spinning around the country and Cyclone Cook is forecast to bring swells of 3m to 4m over Easter. Keep an eye out for the offshore change and be careful of the strong currents at the peak of the swell especially at the Breakwater end of Scarborough Bay. The contest season has been hectic with multiple events all over the country. Local surfers have been achieving some great results. The Ray White Duke Festival of Surfing attracted more than 250 entrants contesting 18 divisions. Unfortunately, the waves and weather were pretty average but it was still a fantastic celebration of surfing. Local surfers still performed well. Luke O’Neill won the men’s logger event and was second in the men’s longboard. Nina Young won the women’s longboard. Lucy Temoananui won the women’s logger and the women’s SUP event. Grant Cochrane won the men’s over 40s. Donna Henderson won the women’s over 40s while daughter Ava won both under-14 and under-12 girls. Local boardriders club Point Surf Team held their first PST Club Trophy event for many years. The club is under going a revival at the moment mainly driven by a new enthusiastic bunch of grommets. The open men’s event has been won in the past by such names as Manu Schafer, Ryan Mateer and Aaron Stanley. This year it was won by Luca Brunotti. Angus Mossman won the cadets, Jack Tyro the under-12 boys and Ruby Armstrong and Holly Campbell shared the top under-12 girls title. Harrison Whiteside achieved the best result of his surfing career in February winning the prestigious under-20 event at the Billabong Grom Series presented by Oceanbridge in Whangamata. This event is the first part of the NZ Grom series attracting top junior surfers. New Zealand’s Ricardo Christie, of Mahia, had his best result recently on the world qualifying series winning the three-star Martinique Surf Pro in France. This will push him up the ratings to hopefully be one step closer re-qualifying for the top tier world championship tour. Easter weekend will see all the South Island’s top surfers heading for Dunedin for the South Island Champs and with a big north swell forecast the surf could be pumping down there. Good luck to all.
