Lincoln had beaten Shirley in their round-robin fixture but were not able to get the win thanks largely to a flat 15min period before and after half-time where they conceded three tries. Christchurch Boys’ High School will play Christ’s College in the competition’s final after CBHS overcame Rangiora High School 54-22 and Christ’s hung on to beat St Bede’s College 24-23. Coach Mike Wilson said his team spent much of the final 10min camped on the Shirley Boys’ try line but weren’t able to score a match-winning try. “We knew we needed a try instead of a penalty goal because in the event of a draw the team with the most tries went through,” Wilson said. “We tried, but the Shirley defence was pretty good.” Wilson said he was pleased with the effort of the team but saddened they finished the competition losing four games in a row after being genuine semi-final contenders. “We played better because we were up against a similar school,” he said.

Coach Nigel Smith said with 12 new players in the squad for the first game of the season, it took time to adjust to both attacking and defensive patterns, but he was confident the team will be better for game two of their South Island campaign against Southland Country, in Darfield, this Saturday. “There were a lot of new faces and at times we missed a few links in our defensive systems and too many gaps appeared,” Smith said. Canterbury Country were leading with 5min to go but elected to kick the ball back to Marlborough from a kick-off and they scored a few phases later. Canterbury Country’s scrum was initially so dominant, they pushed Marlborough back 20m. “After that, (Marlborough) subbed their entire front row off after 20min and while it helped them, we still had dominance,” he said. Smith said the attack started well in the first half but soon cooled off and with defensive is- BIG IMPRESSION: Waihora lock Joe Robins was one of the best in Canterbury Country’s 38-36 loss to Marlborough, in Blenheim, on Saturday.

The second half proved to be am entertaining one, with Canterbury Country roaring back into the game largely on the back of a tremendous game from No 10, Brook Retallick, brother of All Blacks lock, Brodie. “Brook was great for us, his general play, kicking and optiontaking on attack kept us in with a chance,” Smith said. He said Waihora lock Joe Robins got through a power of work all game. •More sport, pages 26 & 27 Read us anywhere.. anytime! Read your local newspaper online 24/7 www.star.kiwi/digital-editions
