Cashmere High steps up to win exchange
SPORTS
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE HIGH School won
their annual sports exchange
with Nelson’s Waimea College
on home turf last week
Cashmere won the five match
exchange 4-1, reclaiming the
inter-school shield they lost last
year.
Cashmere won the boys
basketball 80-56, the boys
football 4-1, the girls football 5-3,
and the senior netball 40-37.
Waimea won the girls
basketball 82-58.
Cashmere sports director
Michael Jones said the event
with Waimea was the school’s
only sports exchange and they
were thrilled to win it given the
history.
“There was some really close
fought games, but both football
and basketball is pretty strong
for us at the moment,” he said.
Cashmere’s boys first XI
football team is currently
unbeaten after four rounds of the
Christchurch secondary schools’
competition, having won all four
of their games.
This exchange was first
contested in 1959 and went until
1970 before stopping for the next
40 years. It was started again in
2013.

Mr Jones said the fixture was
always highly anticipated and
he hoped it continued for many
years.
“It’s great that we were able
to restart this after a hiatus,”
he said. “It provides both
schools with an opportunity to
play opposition they wouldn’t
normally play.
“With secondary school
tournament weeks becoming a
focus, it’s really great that both
schools embrace this and give
the students a chance to travel
and play,” he said.
The fixture is likely to be
played in Nelson next year.
