Close win secures<br />

trophy for Waihora<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

WAIHORA CLAIMED the Greg<br />

Sparks Memorial Trophy for<br />

the first time in nine years after<br />

a tough 18-16 win over rivals<br />

Lincoln at Tai Tapu Domain.<br />

Waihora coach Joff Mooar<br />

described the last 20min of the<br />

game as a real “nail-biter,” with<br />

the lead changing a number of<br />

times.<br />

Trailing 15-16 with five<br />

minutes to play Waihora were<br />

awarded a penalty, setting up<br />

first-five Harry Kirk to slot the<br />

game-winning kick.<br />

“It never seems to matter where<br />

you are on the table in these<br />

games between Waihora and<br />

Lincoln, they always go down to<br />

the wire,” said Mooar.<br />

Earlier in the game,<br />

Canterbury rep Mark Maitland<br />

was at his usual best. The<br />

fullback scoring a first half try<br />

for Waihora to give them the<br />

advantage at the time. Mooar<br />

also highlighted the play of open<br />

side flanker Ryan Koning and<br />

centre Richard Mills.<br />

The result puts Waihora at the<br />

top of the Ellesmere division one<br />

standings. However, with a bye<br />

in the final round they could slip<br />

as low as third going into the<br />

play-offs.<br />

Lincoln’s play-off hopes are<br />

over. The loss leaves them five<br />

points behind fourth-placed<br />

Prebbleton who defeated them a<br />

fortnight ago.<br />

In other games Southbridge<br />

gained advantage in the race for<br />

a home semi-final by defeating<br />

Darfield 21-10. The game didn’t<br />

produce a fairy tale story for<br />

Darfield prop Scott McIlroy,<br />

who bought up his 200th game<br />

milestone alongside twin brother<br />

Blair, who played his 197th game<br />

for the division one side.<br />

Division one results:<br />

Southbridge 21, Darfield 10;<br />

Waihora 18, Lincoln 16; BDI 43,<br />

Rolleston 24; West Melton 29,<br />

Hornby 5, Prebbleton (bye).<br />
