Upcoming game a<br />
must win for Cashmere<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ATTACKING FLAIR and<br />
solid defence is what will help<br />
Cashmere High finish strongly<br />
in the Connetics first XI football<br />
competition and qualify for the<br />
boys’ lotto premier tournament<br />
in Napier, coach says.<br />
Cashmere showed that last<br />
Wednesday with a 6-0 win<br />
over Christ’s College at the<br />
Christchurch Football Centre<br />
moving them into third position<br />
on the table.<br />
Coach Craig Squire said it was<br />
exactly the type of play needed<br />
to get them to nationals which<br />
runs from September 4-8.<br />
Eddie Wilkinson scored a hattrick,<br />
captain Lyle Matthysen<br />
netted two and Henry Mabin<br />
scored one. Now they turn their<br />
attention to fourth-placed St<br />
Thomas tomorrow night.<br />
“The plan now is to build<br />
on this and be a very difficult<br />
team to break down, while still<br />
maintaining the attacking flair<br />
and talent that the boys have,”<br />
he said.<br />
St Thomas coach Richard<br />
Washington said the recent<br />
loss 3-1 to Lincoln was tough,<br />
particularly when they had to<br />
hand the Connetics Shield over,<br />
but he expects them to bounce<br />
back.<br />
“I know the boys’ attitude<br />
will be completely different for<br />
Cashmere and hopefully we can<br />
put up a good fight,” he said.<br />
Squire said it will be another<br />
must-win to keep national hope<br />
alive.<br />
“It is vital that we keep winning<br />
as all the teams are wanting<br />
one of the top four places for<br />
qualification to nationals.”<br />
Nationals will feature 32 of<br />
the best teams from across the<br />
country split into eight pools of<br />
four.<br />
Four of the 32 will be<br />
GOOD WIN: Lyle<br />
Matthysen scored<br />
a brace in the 6-0<br />
win over Christ’s.<br />
Now they look to<br />
take points from<br />
fourth-placed St<br />
Thomas tomorrow<br />
night.<br />
selected from the Christchurch<br />
competition.<br />
The top two from each pool<br />
will progress into the top 16,<br />
while the rest will play for<br />
positions 17-32.<br />

TOMO SHIBATA’S seven-year<br />
wait to attend the tae kwon do<br />
world championships is finally<br />
over – he has been selected to<br />
compete in October.<br />
The Halswell instructor,<br />
alongside 58 others, will head to<br />
Dublin, Ireland to fight for his<br />
country.<br />
He said when the email<br />
appeared in his inbox, he was<br />
nervous to open it, previously<br />
the emails had contained<br />
disappointing news.<br />
“When I read it my hands<br />
were shaking and my heart was<br />
pounding. I was like finally, I’ve<br />
made it,” he said.<br />
He hones his craft every day<br />
of the week balancing running<br />
classes and training.<br />

Long wait over for<br />
tae kwon do instructor<br />
“I have put in a lot of hard<br />
work to get here and I am very<br />
excited to have the opportunity<br />
to head to the world champs,”<br />
he said.<br />
Shibata will compete in<br />
the individual male pattern<br />
category.<br />
Pattern is a showcase of<br />
techniques and skills – some say<br />
it is like fighting an imaginary<br />
opponent.<br />
“I don’t like that comparison,”<br />
Shibata laughed.<br />
Shibata started doing tae<br />
kwon do in 2006 and gained his<br />
4th Dan Black Belt in December<br />
2016.<br />
He has competed in<br />
numerous regional and<br />
national competitions as well as<br />
representing New Zealand at the<br />
2012 and 2014 world cups.<br />
