The next wave of surfing talent
•From page 1
Said Hungerford: “I was really
surprised when I won. The conditions
were super challenging
by the time it got to our final, all
the girls surfed really well.
“I had a game plan at the start
of the heat but, as soon as it
started, it went out the window.”
The scholastic championships
are only for high school students,
while the Canterbury championships
are open to everyone.
It was a successful outing for
surfers in the Pegasus Post area
with Shirley Boys’ High students
Myka Black winning the under-14
boys section and Zack van
Eekelen winning the under-16
boys.
Black’s performance saw him
dominate his section with beautifully
crafted cutbacks impressing
the judges.

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High will head
to Nelson on Friday looking
to bounce back from two
defeats in the space of five
days.
The trip to Waimea
Combined for Saturday’s
sixth round of the UC
Championship follows
Shirley’s defeat to
Marlborough Boys’ College
23-36 in Blenheim last week
and a home defeat to Rangiora
Josh McCaffery, also from
Shirley Boys’ High, was second
in the under-16 section and
showed his ability by riding a
long right-hander under the pier
in his final pass.
A southerly front kicked up in
the mid-morning, giving riders a
2-3m swell to compete on.
THE EVENT was a trial for
the Canterbury scholastic surf
team, with a training squad
to be announced in June in
preparation for the national
scholastic surf championships in
Gisborne in October.

Trailing by 10 at the break
against Rangiora, Shirley came
out firing in the second half and
recorded two tries before
Rangiora sealed the game.
“Our first half wasn’t
acceptable. We gave away
too many penalties,”
said Shirley coach Andy
Gibson.
He highlighted the
effort of captain Mcgregor Best.

saving tackles and winning

Gibson.
A good result in Nelson will
be a tough ask. Waimea come

riding the bus as their schedule
doesn’t get any easier. Next
Wednesday, they head south to
play a non-UC Championship
match against King’s High
School in Dunedin.
“I actually quite like the trips
as a coach. I get a lot more time
to run through things with the
boys before game day and it
helps to build our team culture.
It does disrupt the training week
but that’s something we have to
deal with,” said Gibson.

Shirley Boys’ High
push for third
on football table
• By Andrew King
SHIRLEY BOYS’ High will face
a hurt St Andrew’s College side
tomorrow night in the Connetics
first XI football competition after
sitting out round 4’s goal fest with
a bye.
Thirty-eight goals were scored
in six matches on Wednesday, the
most in a round so far this season.
St Andrew’s were narrowly
beaten by Christchurch Boys’
High 1-0 in round 4, pushing
them to sixth on the table, just
ahead of Shirley.
A win tomorrow for Shirley
would see them potentially jump
into third spot if other results go
their way.
However, for that to happen,
Cashmere and Riccarton would
have to draw and Rangiora will
need to beat Burnside.
The last time the two met,
Shirley edged St Andrew’s 4-3.
The game will be played at
7.30pm at the Christchurch Football
Centre.
Connetics first XI table
1. Lincoln 10pts; 2. St
Thomas 9pts; 3. Cashmere
7pts; 4. Burnside 7pts; 5.
Riccarton 6pts; 6. St Andrew’s
6pts; 7. Shirley 6pts
