Waikirikiri
may join
Canty hockey
league
A VOTE will be taken on
whether to affiliate Waikirikiri
to the Canterbury Hockey
Association on Wednesday
night.
If the vote at the association’s
annual meeting is in favour of
the affiliation, Waikirikiri will
be able to enter teams into the
Canterbury senior competition
in a staged basis over a number
of years.
A vote in favour would mean
the year 7/8 Kwik Sticks 11-aside
boys and girls, senior division
three (year 9 up to under-18)
boys and girls and the mid-week
open men’s and women’s teams
will be able to be entered this
year.
Waikirikiri club president
Lyndal Marshall says it is an
exciting development which will
allow them to bring new players
into the game and give them a
stage on which to represent their
local club.
Waikirikiri Hockey was
formed in 2017. Until the club’s
formation, players had to travel
to the city to join a club.
In its first year, the club attracted
120 junior hockey players
in 13 teams, of which 70 per
cent were new to the game.
Tight schedule for Lincoln Uni athlete
• By Andrew King
AFTER competing in the
Canterbury track and field
championships at the weekend,
Lincoln University student Tegan
Duffy will have little time to
recover.
The 17-year-old is about to head
off to the New Zealand track and
field and then the Australian
junior championships – with
all three events in the space of a
month.
She has also just started
studying land and property
management at Lincoln, works
part-time at the Commodore
Hotel, and trains six times a week
at the ​Old Boys’ United Athletic
Club.
She won the under-20 long
jump at the Canterbury track and
field championships in Timaru
with a distance of 5.64m in her
fifth jump. However, Duffy didn’t
compete in her other specialised
event, the 100m hurdles.
She is set to compete in both
events at the New Zealand track
and field championships from
March 9-11 in Hamilton before
flying to Sydney on March 12 for
the Australian junior athletics
championships from March 14-
18.
“So basically I have to get back,
repack and head off again,” she
said.
Tegan said she started
athletics as a hobby but now has
aspirations for bigger things.
“I am looking ahead to the
junior worlds and what I need to
do to qualify for that,” she said.
She has to pay her own way to
attend the championships, and
said it would cost about $2000 to
attend the Hamilton and Sydney
events.
“I have gone to the local
community board to ask for
funding and my nana Faye Kerr
has helped me fundraise with
my mum, Toni, and we have held
some quiz nights. Also, nana has
a few friends that have chipped
in,” she said.
For the past month, Tegan has
been training harder than
usual and has been pushing
herself to see what her body can
endure.
“There has been a lot of harder
running and pushing myself as
hard as possible. The weights are
heavier, all of that,” she said.
ATHLETE: Tegan Duffy, seen
here competing at last year’s
New Zealand track and field
championships, will be back
at the same event next month
looking for success in the long
jump and 100m hurdles.
