Achieve a great goal – 

be part of the City2Surf 

IF YOU have over-indulged 

during the holiday season, 

there’s no better way to start 

the year than with a new health 

goal. 

The City2Surf on Sunday, 

March 24, provides an 

opportunity for people of all 

different sporting and fitness 

abilities to take part in one 

of the South Island’s largest 

participation events, which 

brings together thousands of 

people for fun and fitness. 

There will be two events 

– a 14km event starting at 

Centennial Park, Spreydon, 

and a Sport Canterbury 6km 

event starting at Hansen Park in 

Opawa. 

The varying lengths mean 

there is something suitable 

for everyone, whether you 

are a runner or walker. Both 

events finish at the Ferrymead 

playing fields with free entry 

to Ferrymead Historic Park for 

participants. 

Star Media events manager 

Jon Holmes said if people don’t 

know where to start when 

training for a running event, 

they can check out the 10-week 

jog programme, designed by 

SportsMed, in The Star and at 

www.city2surf.co.nz. 

The first edition of the 

programme will feature in The 

Star on January 17.

A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to 

discuss the matter. 

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female 

student has laid 

a complaint abou the accused 

being allowed to go on the trip. 

It is understood it is no the 

same person who has laid the 

sexual assault complain to the 

police. 

The Star has been told it is a 

rape investigation. 

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter. 

The overseas trip involves 

both male and female law students.

Rugby player loses cancer battle at 26 


A SENIOR rugby player fighting 

stage four gastro-oesophageal 

cancer has succumbed to the 

illness after a six-month battle. 

Connor Pokoati, 26, was told 

in June he had cancer and had 

only three to four months to live 

without treatment. He died on 

Boxing Day. 

The Star reported on Mr 

Pokoati’s battle in 

November. He said the 

treatment process had 

been “soul-destroying” 

but he was going to 

fight until the end. 

Mr Pokoati’s younger 

sister, Tisean Pokoati, 

said his family and 

closest friends were 

with him when he died. 

“I can tell everyone, his friends 

Connor 

Pokoati 

far and wide that he fought 

right until the last second 

. . . we are all heartbroken 

and lost for words as we 

thought this day would 

never ever come.” 

Mr Pokoati had just 

completed a Master of 

Arts in European Union 

Studies at Canterbury 

University and was 

planning to move to Singapore 

for an internship. He played 

senior rugby for New Brighton. 

Mr Pokoati had created a blog, 

Cancer battler for life, in which 

he wrote about his diagnosis, 

prognosis, treatment and family. 

“I realised there might be an 

audience for my story. A story 

that could help people in similar 

situations, or for people who 

are dealing with other types of 

issues,” he wrote. 

“As they say, the path can be 

a lonely one, however, I would 

like to touch on those who have 

helped me, carried me, cradled 

me, comforted me on this 

seemingly never-ending road. 

“They are seen in my family, 

both blood and chosen, as well 

as close friends who have helped 

raise my spirits when they 

haven’t been at the highest,” he 

wrote. 

Get ready for the City2Surf 

•From page 1 

The Athlete’s Foot will 

continue to provide a six-week, 

free training series in South 

Hagley Park every Wednesday, 

starting on February 13. 

“It’s great for those who want to 

meet other runners and get some 

tips from the pros, and it is open 

to all abilities,” Jon said. 

“The message is, no matter 

what you do or how you do 

it, keeping fit and active is so 

important for both your physical 

and mental health. It’s about 

getting up, getting out, and 

having fun.” 

SportsMedicine practitioner 

and coach John Hellemans 

provides tips every week in a 

training programme on the 

City2Surf website. 

Dr Hellemans says if you are 

starting your running journey 

from scratch and have never 

really jogged or ran before, he 

recommends alternating between 

brisk walking and jogging. 

“Be aware that jogging is 

different from running. When 

jogging, you go at a pace which is 

only a fraction faster than a brisk 

walk. Your feet stay close to the 

ground and the rhythm is that of 

a slow dance.” 

This is a technique that, once 

mastered, will enable you to 

jog for a longer period of time, 

allowing you to build up your 

fitness and run longer distances.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

The Everest challenge 

• By John Lewis 

ANDREW ROOZEN says there 

is only one thing better than 

climbing Mt Everest. 

That is being the first to climb 

Dunedin’s Baldwin St 134 times 

(the 8848m equivalent height of 

Mt Everest) and finishing without 

altitude sickness, frostbite or any 

other serious injuries. 

The 52-year-old from 

Christchurch started the 

marathon journey at 9am on 

December 19 as part of the 

Everest challenge. 

The concept is simple: Pick any 

hill anywhere in the world and 

ride a bicycle, run or walk repeats 

of it until you climb 8848m. 

Mr Roozen said more than 

3000 people around the world 

had completed the Everest 

challenge, but until today, no 

one had done it on the world’s 

steepest street. 

“The Everesting community 

have been saying this is one of 

the iconic streets and asking 

who’s going to be the first to do it. 

So I thought I’d be the first.” 

After every 15 hikes up the 

street, he stopped for food, drink 

and a short rest before resuming 

the hike. 

“You’re not allowed to sleep, 

though. That’s part of the 

Everesting rules.” 

During one of his breaks, he 

said his body was holding up 

okay. 

“The steps on Baldwin St are 

amazing. It makes it a lot easier. 

And on the parts of the street 

that don’t have steps, I’ve been 

zig-zagging up because it puts 

less stress on the legs,” he said. 

“People have been asking me 

why I’m doing that. If you’re 

going to walk up and down here 

over 130 times, you have to pace 

yourself.” 

Mr Roozen said he had done 

nine Everest challenges on a 

bicycle on various hills around 

the country, and this was 

the second time he had done 

a walking/running Everest 

challenge. 

Why? Because it was the closest 

he would get to climbing Mt 

Everest, he said. 

He has no ambitions to 

actually climb the world’s tallest 

mountain. 

“I do it because it’s just me. If 

you fail, nobody’s going to worry 

about it. It’s really a personal 

challenge and it keeps you fit.” 

He finished the challenge about 

36 hours after starting it.

Redcliffs only 

petrol station 

shuts for rebuild 

• By Anan Zaki 

REDCLIFFS WILL lose its petrol 

station for nearly five months as it 

undergoes a $5 million rebuild. 

BP2Go on Main St suffered 

damage in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, owner Robert Jiang 

said. The redeveloped station will 

have an electric vehicle charger, 

new shop, car wash and cafe. 

The station will close on 

January 28 and re-open in mid- 

May. “The earthquake damaged 

our buildings and [underground] 

fuel tanks. So all the buildings 

and fuel tanks will be replaced.” 

For the past six years, the station 

has used temporary aboveground 

fuel tanks. The floor space 

will also be expanded. “The shop 

will be 300m 2 and at the moment 

it’s 85m 2 . The work shop will also 

expand, at the moment it’s 80m 2 

and it will be 130m 2 .” 

Being the only petrol station in 

Redcliffs, Mr Jiang expects some 

disruption. 

“The closest BP is Linwood, 

otherwise it is Caltex Dyers Rd or 

Mobil Ferry Rd,” he said. 

Other nearby petrol stations are 

Challenge Port Hills Rd and NPD 

Port Hills Rd. Mr Jiang thanked 

the community for supporting the 

business since the earthquake.

DANGER: Joseph Warren Lepper at the High Court in 2014. PHOTO: ODT 

High-risk sex offender 

stays behind bars 

• By Robb Kidd 

A MAN who drove from 

Christchurch to Dunedin 

and tried to drag a woman 

into a van for sex is still 

considered a high-risk sex 

offender. 

Joseph Warren Lepper, 

41, is serving a term of 

preventive detention – 

an indefinite period of 

imprisonment reserved 

for those considered the 

country’s most dangerous 

offenders. 

Early last year, Lepper 

challenged that sentence 

before the Court of Appeal 

and was knocked back. 

In a recent appearance 

before the Parole Board 

he was again denied, but 

this time he accepted the 

outcome. 

Panel convener and 

board chairman Sir 

Ron Young said Lepper 

acknowledged he needed 

to complete various programmes 

before he could 

be safely released. 

A psychologist classed 

him as at high risk of further 

sex offending. 

On October 19, 2013, 

he and Zane Alexander 

McVeigh drove from 

Christchurch to Dunedin 

and attempted to abduct a 

22-year-old student, who 

was walking in a poorly lit 

street. 

As they drove slowly 

past the woman, Lepper 

told McVeigh: “I’m going 

to do that bitch.” 

The woman fought off 

the men until nearby residents 

came to her aid but 

she was left bruised and 

missing handfuls of hair. 

The incident occurred 10 

months after Lepper had 

been released from prison, 

where he had been serving 

a 10-year stint for rape. 

Even before that, there 

was a “long history of offending,” 

Sir Ron said. 

McVeigh, of Kaiapoi, 

was jailed for two years 

and eight months for his 

role in the attack. He was 

Lorena and three of her children were diagnosed with leprosy. 

Lorena says “Although our leprosy could be cured, we knew that 

sometimes there can be serious effects from the disease, like 

disabilities. I was terrified that more of my children would get sick. 

But then the Pacific Leprosy Foundation started its new programme 

which gives medicine to the rest of the family so that they are 

much less likely to get leprosy. It was wonderful to have that 

reassurance! Now I want the rest of the countries in the Pacific 

to be able to take part in this programme, but I know that costs a lot 

of money.” 

charged with detaining 

a woman without her 

consent with intent to have 

sexual intercourse. 

Lepper was given a 

psychological diagnosis in 

2009 and said he was having 

“hallucinations and 

other concerning beliefs,” 

which were unaffected by 

his medication before the 

attempted abduction. 

His “disruptive conduct” 

behind bars had resulted 

in him being transferred 

from Invercargill Prison 

to the Otago Corrections 

Facility but Sir Ron said 

there had been major improvements 

in his attitude 

recently. 

Lepper was motivated to 

do the adult sex offender 

treatment programme 

but rejected Corrections’ 

plan to put him through 

the drug treatment programme. 

Lepper will next be seen 

by the Parole Board in 

October 2020.

HAPPY NEW Year! I 

hope everyone has enjoyed 

the festive season as much 

as Vittoria and I have. 

Honestly, I didn’t know 

she could eat as much in 

one day as she did and 

since she’s all good to eat 

pretty much anything, our 

plates will never be sacred 

again. 

Wee Vittoria’s first 

Christmas was much more 

exciting for us parents 

than her initially, but we 

think it left her with a 

great impression. 

We spent it in Waikuku 

with my mum, nan, dad 

and step-dad and then 

headed down to Ashburton 

on Boxing Day to see 

my pop and aunty. 

Vittoria was very spoilt 

in the gifts department: A 

term of swimming lessons; 

a monkey toy that reads 

to her; her own set of keys 

(so she doesn’t steal mine 

so much); and new clothes 

and books. 

There were so many 

wrapped gifts she got sick 

of tearing paper. I think 

I’ll only ever say that once. 

However, judging by 

how difficult it was to get 

her down for her naps, it 

First Christmas 

was spending time with 

her family with lots of 

colour and music which 

she enjoyed most. 

And all the food. I 

actually lost count of how 

many things she tried 

for the first time. Pretty 

much everything, save the 

brandy, beer and bubbly. 

The festivities have got 

me and my wife Laura 

talking about what sort 

of traditions we’d like to 

develop for our young 

family. 

Laura’s from north-east 

Italy, a region near Venice 

called Friuli-Venezia 

Giulia. 

Christmas Eve is the big 

deal there, with big family 

meals, mass at church and 

then presents at midnight. 

Whereas for my family, 

Christmas Day is king, 

with croissants at breakfast 

and too much lunch 

before presents. 

We’d like to blend the 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

two together as well as 

start celebrating the Feast 

of the Epiphany on January 

6. 

Why? Because in Italy 

it signals a send-off for 

the Christmas season and 

the Christmas Witch (La 

Befana) visits the children 

with gifts and sweeps the 

floor for some reason. 

Then, at least in Laura’s 

village, the townsfolk burn 

an effigy of her. I guess 

because she’s technically a 

witch. 

While I don’t think we’ll 

be burning effigies any 

time soon (so if you’re a 

firefighter reading this, 

rest easy), I’m looking 

forward to seeing how our 

family traditions grow.

Fallen soldier never forgotten 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

RICHARD STEVENS was in 

his mid-30s and working for 

Sumner Quarries Christchurch 

when World War 1 broke out. 

On January 7, 1915, he enlisted 

to join thousands of other New 

Zealanders who were making 

their way to the other side of the 

world to fight. 

But he would never return 

home. Instead, he would die 

in Egypt away from his family, 

from a wound he sustained 

during the 10-month Gallipoli 

campaign, in which 2779 New 

Zealanders died. 

Pvt Stevens was wounded 

during the Battle of Chunuk Bair 

on August 8, and died 

from his injuries on September 

12. 

Now more than 100 years 

later, a cross honouring his 

bravery will be claimed by his 

great niece. Annette Sowman 

has been the first descendant 

to contact the Sumner Redcliffs 

RSA to claim one of 21 crosses 

remembering the men from 

Sumner who died in World War 

1. The crosses were on display as 

part of the RSA’s Armistice Day 

commemorations last month.

look at pedestrian crossings in 

the east. 

Each board member will 

discuss what roads they believe 

need to be prioritised for 

resurfacing or upgrades in the 

east. 

“We really need to know where 

things sit in the programme . . . it 

is just too long. Things need to be 

done,” Ms Money said. 

In 2016, the city council budgeted 

$680 million to fix roads in 

the Burwood-Pegasus area over 

10 years. 

Its total budget for resurfacing 

in the 2019-2020 financial year is 

$12.9 million. Roads planned to 

be repaired next year under the 

city council’s carriageway and

received several medals after the 

war that were passed onto her 

grandfather Herbert Webb and 

then onto her uncle, but she does

them since. 

She said she will likely place 

the cross in her garden or by

intersection. 

“The road is a disgrace there. 

There are holes everywhere,” Ms 

Money said. 

City council planning and 

delivery transport manager 

Lynette Ellis said a project of 



great uncle. Mrs Sowman said 

it would have been a “shock” 

for the family to not have Pvt 

Stevens return home. 

“But don’t forget I wasn’t born 

until 1939 . . . I don’t remember 

my grandparents saying 

anything. They didn’t talk about 

those things,” she said. 

The Battle of Chunuk Bair 

in World War 1 was fought 

between the Ottoman defenders 

and British Empire troops over 

control of the peak in August 

1915. During the battle, New 

Zealand suffered nearly 2500 

casualties, including more than 

800 dead. 

Pvt Stevens is buried at 

the Alexandria (Hadra) War 

Memorial Cemetery. 

He was the seventh child 

of Maria Ann (nee Webb) 

Stevens and Captain James 

Finch Stevens. His father died 

tragically on the wreck of the 

sailing ship Lizzy Guy in 1888. 

The Sumner Redcliffs RSA is 

calling for other descendants to 

claim their cross. 

President Pat Boland said 

anyone who may have a family 

claim should get in touch with 

the RSA.

The budget for the work is 

more than $1.1 million but a

The state of Breezes Rd is also 

likely to be discussed at the 

seminar, along with pedestrian

Vet bill fundraiser for shot cat 

• By Emily O’Connell 

MORE THAN $900 has been 

raised to help with a cat’s 

veterinary bill after he was shot 

with a high-calibre air rifle. 

Kylo, 2, left his house on 

Conductors Rd, Prebbleton and 

didn’t return home for three 

days. 

His owner Kirsty Sewell said it 

wasn’t unusual for him to stray 

away from their house but she 

did become concerned as time 

went on. 

When Kylo returned, Mrs 

Sewell picked him up and placed 

him on her eight-year-old son 

Lachlan’s bed. 

“I didn’t realise he was hurt 

until I put him down and I was 

like ‘oh, no.’ He was limping and 

he had a big lump in his back,” 

she said. 

Mrs Sewell took Kylo 

straight to the vet where X-rays 

determined he had been shot 

and had a “major fracture” in his 

front leg. 

“We now know, post-surgery, 

the bullet went into the front of 

his shoulder, so somebody was 

taking a kill shot,” she said. 

Mrs Sewell said what had 

happened to Kylo made her 

feel “sick” and she could not 

RECOVERING: Lachlan Sewell with the family’s cat Kylo, who was shot with an air rifle. 

understand why someone would 

want to hurt him. 

Kylo had surgery to remove 

the pellet and has a brace around 

his leg. 

It’s possible his leg may have 

to be amputated, but Mrs Sewell 

said they will have to wait to see 

if it heals first. 

Mrs Sewell’s friend has set-up 

a Givealittle page to help with 

Kylo’s vet bill, which is currently 

about $2500. 

SPCA Canterbury chief 

inspector Jamie Hancock 

said there has been one other 

reported incident of an animal, 

also a cat, being shot in 

Prebbleton since January 2017. 

“It’s possible some cases 

are only reported to police 

and some are not reported 

at all, but we know this is a 

widespread problem throughout 

Canterbury,” she said. 

Ms Hancock said causing 

a cat pain or distress that is 

not reasonable or necessary 

is an offence with penalties of 

12 months in prison and/or a 

$50,000 fine. 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said 

police are aware of the incident 

and are investigating. 

“It’s actually not okay in a 

residential area to shoot cats, 

and if you were in a situation 

where you had some legal 

justification, you have to shoot 

them humanly,” he said. 

Mrs Sewell thanked Nick Page, 

of Rolleston Veterinary Services, 

for his work on Kylo.

Time to plant summer herbs 

Some of the easiest 

plants to grow are herbs 

and flowers. Getting 

to know these garden 

staples is also a great 

way to learn about the 

basics of gardening. 

Shannon Hunt provides 

instructions for beginner 

gardeners 

•Step one: What mint 

likes 

Mint (common, chocolate, 

ginger, spearmint) makes a 

fresh and tasty addition to a 

green salad and a refreshingly 

healthy drink when bruised 

into a jug of iced water with 

lemon. Always plant mint 

in a big pot in quality media 

(potting mix) with a few water 

crystals to help keep the plant 

moist (not waterlogged) and 

make sure it gets a little shade 

during the hottest part of the 

day. Mint does not do well if it 

dries out for too long. 

•Step two: Which herbs 

like living with mint? 

You can plant parsley and 

coriander in the same pot as 

mint, because these herbs love 

moist soil too. Make sure you 

give each plant plenty of room 

to expand as they grow. 

•Step three: Which 

herbs like drier soil? 

Thyme (common, pizza, 

lemon), rosemary and fragrant 

oregano, prefer being more dry 

than moist and love soaking 

in all-day sun. These herbs 

won’t spread rampantly over 

your whole garden like mint, 

so plant them in your raised or 

open garden. 

•Step four: Basil is a 

loner 

Basil (common, purple, 

Thai, giant, tiny leafed) needs 

a little more care to produce a 

good harvest. It loves growing 

alone and thrives in sun, 

but also likes a little shade. I 

suggest you grow it in a big 

pot that can be moved 

around to catch the sunshine 

and removed from windy 

conditions. 

•Step five: Coriander 

stresses 

A lot of experienced 

gardeners suggest you get a 

better product when you grow 

your coriander from seed. It’s 

easy as long as you plant the 

seeds just below the surface 

and right where you want 

them to grow in your garden. 

Feed well and keep it watered. 

To slow down the ‘bolting’ of 

coriander (it stresses when the 

weather gets really hot and will 

go to seed) harvest it often. 

•Step six: Clip your 

herbs 

Always cut your herbs back 

because that’s how they bulk 

up. Removing the tips of 

basil will create new growth. 

Removing flowers from thyme, 

cutting back chives, oregano 

and parsley will redirect the 

nutrients into the new growth. 

Whether you can use the 

cuttings or not, always clip 

your herbs. 

Step seven: Easy flower 

growing 

To start an easy flower 

garden, cultivate a 

small space or garden edge 

and turn some heat-treated 

sheep pellets into the soil. 

Then grab a mix of marigold 

and cornflower seeds and 

throw them across the garden. 

Place a thin layer of soil on 

top and water them. Now buy 

some flower seedlings 

of your choice and place 

them at regular (or irregular) 

spaces throughout the 

growing space. 

Make sure you water the 

garden daily and before too 

long little leaves will pop 

up through the soil and the 

seedlings you planted 

will grow bushier and begin 

to flower. You can add to 

the look by popping tallergrowing 

flower plants along 

the back.

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

STRAWBERRY AND 

MARSHMALLOW 

PARFAIT 

Ingredients 

½ cup marshmallows, small 

350g sugar 

500g strawberries, halved 

500g strawberries, for garnish 

6 eggs – 4 yolks, 2 whole 

2 cups cream, thick 

Directions 

To prepare the tin, line a 

narrow terrine mould about 

30cm x 10cm with plastic wrap. 

Set some of the marshmallows 

along the bottom with some 

strawberry slices. 

Place the strawberries in a 

saucepan with half the sugar. 

Bring to a gentle simmer over 

a low heat. The juices will 

come out, so there is no need 

to add water. Simmer for no 

more than 2min, then remove 

from the heat and mash or 

purée the mixture. Return it 

to the pan and set aside. Use 

an electric beater to whisk the 

egg yolks and whole eggs with 

the remaining sugar until thick 

and mousse-like. Return the 

strawberry and sugar mixture to 

the heat and bring to a simmer. 

With the beater still running, 

tip this hot mixture into the 

eggs and continue whisking 

until it is really thick and well 

incorporated. The hot sugar and 

strawberries “cook” the egg yolk, 

so it is not raw. 

Whip the cream until it 

reaches soft peaks, then fold 

it gently through. Add the 

remaining marshmallows to 

the mixture. Spoon it into the 

prepared tin. Cover with plastic 

wrap and freeze for at least 24 

hours. To serve, cut the parfait 

into slices. Surround with sliced 

strawberries and place in a cup. 

HOW TO BARBECUE 

PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK 

Ingredients 

Ribeye steaks, at least 3cm thick 

1 Tbsp olive oil 

Salt to taste 

Fresh ground black pepper to 

taste 

Directions 

Preheat your grill to high heat. 

If you have a sear burner and a 

steak that is more than an inch 

thick, get one side of the grill 

going at about medium-high in 

case you need to cook it through 

a little more after the sear. 

Remove the ribeye steaks from 

the packaging and rub them 

down with some olive oil and 

coat a generous amount of salt 

and freshly ground black pepper. 

The olive oil provides just enough 

fat to help the salt and pepper 

create a great, caramelised crust. 

Clean and lubricate your grill 

grates with some cooking oil on 

a rolled up piece of paper towel 

(using tongs, of course). 

Place the ribeye steaks on the 

hottest part of the grill and then 

stand ready with the tongs. 

At this point, you are on flareup 

watch. The fat dripping off of 

the steaks could create a flare-up. 

If one occurs and doesn’t go away 

in a few seconds, use your tongs 

to slide the steaks away from 

the open flame until the flame 

dies down and then move them 

back over the heat. Continue to 

grill with the lid open for about 

4-6min. 

Flip the steaks over onto the 

other side, still over the hottest 

part of the grill. 

Grill the ribeye steaks for an 

additional 4-6min on the other 

side, lid open, for a medium-rare 

delicious steak. 

Remove the steaks from the 

grill and allow to rest for 5min 

before serving. 

The resting period is important 

so that the juices don’t run out 

when you cut into the ribeye, so 

be patient.

The Canterbury sporting 

BIG YEAR: Richie Mo’unga put his hand up to lead the All Blacks 

backline. (Below) – Dave Langrell, 42, recorded 17 points, 20 

rebounds and 13 assists during the Canterbury basketball final. 

As we enter 2019, Gordon Findlater takes a look back at some of his 

most memorable sporting highlights from the past year 

WE LEARNED a lot in 2018. 

Under Scott Robertson the 

Crusaders continued their 

dominance, winning backto-back 

Super Rugby titles 

and gaining bragging rights 

as Australasia’s best sports 

team of the past 25 years. 

During their campaign, we 

also learnt we have a worldclass 

first-five in Richie 

Mo’unga. The 24-year-old 

overcame any doubters this 

year and proved he’s capable 

of guiding the All Blacks 

backline heading into next 

year’s Rugby World Cup. 

It was also back-to-back 

titles for our women as 

Canterbury won their second 

Farah Palmer Cup title in as 

many years. 

A 27-point haul from 

Black Fern Kendra 

Cocksedge helped 

Canterbury on their way to 

a dominant 52-29 victory 

over Counties Manukau in 

the final at Rugby Park in 

October. 

In December, Cocksedge 

made headlines again, 

becoming the first women to 

receive the top honour at the 

national rugby awards. 

On the club front, 

normality resumed when 

Lincoln University won their 

fourth straight metro rugby 

title, defeating New Brighton 

26-7 at Rugby Park in May. 

Will 2019 be the year that a 

another team ends Lincoln 

Uni’s dominance? With a 

number of promising players 

fresh out of high school – 

including Isaiah Punivai and 

Louie Chapman – electing 

not to take the Lincoln Uni 

scholarship path, perhaps 

there’s light at the end of the 

tunnel for clubs hoping to 

see the metro competition 

become more than a onehorse 

race in the future. 

The 2018 UC 

Championship was arguably 

the most enthralling in 

the competition’s history. 

However, I can’t look away 

from the final between 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School and Christ’s College 

being overshadowed by 

one of World Rugby’s most 

mind-numbing rules. A 

large amount of confusion 

surrounded the outcome, 

which ended in an 18-18 

draw. 

CBHS were awarded the 

win because they scored 

three tries compared to 

Christ’s two. An IRB law 

states that under-19 matches 

cannot be played for longer 

than 70min, and in the event 

of a draw, extra-time is not 

permitted for player safety 

reasons. 

When the announcement 

was made at full-time 

that the match had been 

decided on the rule, it was 

met with disappointment 

from the thousands of fans 

who attended and were 

anticipating extra-time. 

Fortunately, 2018 also 

featured a group of local 

teenagers partaking in what 

was anything but a fizzer at 

the FIFA under-17 women’s 

World Cup in Uruguay. 

Blair Currie, Marissa van 

der Meer, Macey Fraser, 

Gabrielle Rennie, Jayda 

Stewart and Amelia Abbott 

had a year they will never 

forget when they helped 

New Zealand create history 

by finishing third and 

winning the country’s first 

medal at a FIFA World Cup 

tournament. 

To add icing to the cake, 

the girls also won the 

National Women’s League 

title with Canterbury 

last month. The title was 

Canterbury’s fourth in six 

years and proves our girls are 

setting the example for the 

rest of the country. 

In terms of the match-ups 

that produced the biggest 

spectacle, it’s hard to go past 

the UC Championship final, 

barring its full-time fizzer. 

However, Canterbury saw 

many exciting finals in 2018. 

In the club rugby league 

grand-final, the Hornby 

Panthers looked set to hand 

the Linwood Keas their first 

defeat of the season when it 

mattered, leading 16-4 with 

less than 20min to play. 

However, the Keas 

produced a brilliant finish to 

score three quick tries and 

secure the Pat Smith Trophy 

for a third consecutive year. 

In hockey, Harewood 

completed the premier 

double with both their men’s 

and women’s teams winning 

premier league titles. 

The men won their fith 

title in nine years by coming 

from a goal down to beat 

Marist 2-1 in their final. 

ON THE UP: Ellie Bird was a key part of the Tactix 

which finished third in the ANZ Premiership.

The women’s hockey team 

beat Carlton Redcliffs by the 

same score line. 

In terms of cricket, for me the 

story of 2018 has to be the rise 

of Gary Stead into the Black 

Caps coaching role. When Mike 

Hesson announced his shock 

resignation in June, Stead was 

the option that made the most 

sense to fill the void. 

Things couldn’t have got 

off to a better start than with 

the recent rare test series win 

against Pakistan in the United 

Arab Emirates. With the likes 

of Latham and Nicholls looking 

like our key contributors with 

the bat, outside of Williamson 

and Taylor, it’s becoming an 

exciting time for Canterbury 

cricket fans again. 

Also on the rise in 2018 

were the Tactix. The last 12 

months have given netball fans 

hope that gone are the days 

of turning up at Horncastle 

Arena expecting to see our team 

thrashed by 20 points. 

Marianne Delaney-Hoshek’s 

girls showed fight, winning 

their last two regular season 

games to sneak into the final 

play-off position. They may 

have been defeated 49-53 in the 

elimination final by eventual 

winners the Southern Steel, but 

the game had a true back and 

forth feel akin to the late-1990s 

and 2000s rivalries against 

the southerners – the last era 

Canterbury thrived in the game. 

We can stick with the late 

1990s and 2000s for the 

performance of the year – at 

least for the feel-good factor. 

Dave Langrell’s triple double 

in the Canterbury Basketball 

Association final had more 

nostalgia than any fan of the 

game could handle. 

The 42-year-old former 

Canterbury Rams captain 

recorded 17 points, 20 rebounds 

and 13 assists in the final at 

Cowles Stadium in September 

after receiving a late call-up to 

the team. However, it wasn’t 

enough to stop Canterbury 

University winning their 

first title since 2001 with a 

97-92 overtime win over the 

Wharenui Gators. 

DOMINANT: Lincoln University won their fourth straight metro rugby title in 2018. 

(Below) – Linwood Keas vice-captain Alex Todd scored the match-winning try and 

secured the Mel Cooke Memorial Trophy as man of the match for the second year in a 

row after their 20-16 grand-final win over Hornby in August. 

• By Gordon Findlater 

HE MAY be ranked well outside 

the world’s top 1000, but that’s 

not deterring Christchurch pro 

golfer Shaun Jones from chasing 

his dream of playing on the 

European Tour. 

Jones didn’t start playing golf 

until he was 14 after growing up 

playing representative football. 

However, things got serious 

quickly, and five years ago he 

made the bold decision to turn 

pro and is encouraging young 

golfers with dreams of playing at 

the elite level to follow. 

“Go for it, chase it. Like my 

dad’s always told me, if you don’t 

try you’ll never know. Go all in,” 

said Jones. 

The 33-year-old is currently 

visiting friends and family in 

Christchurch after moving to 

Switzerland with his wife Anita 

two years ago. 

Jones has spent the last two 

years playing on the Alps Tour. 

He will begin his third year at 

the end of the month. He hopes 

to gain a top five finish on the 

order of merit. It would grant 

him a card onto the European 

Challenge Tour, which feeds the 

European Tour. 

“I took the opportunity of my 

wife being Swiss . . . I went to 

qualifying school in Spain and 

got my full card there, which I’ve 

kept for the last two years,” said 

Jones. 

“The Alps Tour isn’t the place 

to try and break even. It’s more 

the place to be to get up into the 

next level . . . I think if you’re 

good enough to win on the Alps 

Tour you’re good enough to win 

anywhere.” 

There are other perks that 

come with playing on the tour. 

Playing in Egypt, Italy, Spain 

and France, Jones admits there 

have been some surreal moments 

competing on some of the world’s 

HOME: Shaun 

Jones has 

returned 

home from 

Switzerland 

where he is 

chasing his 

dream of 

playing on the 

European Tour. 

Jones chases his 

dream of playing 

on European Tour 

most beautiful courses. 

There has also been a couple of 

occasions in which the Alps Tour 

has lived up to its name. 

“We had a tournament in 

Rome this year. We arrived the 

night before and went out for a 

putting session, it was freezing. 

We woke up the next day and 

there was three feet (92cm) 

of snow so they had to cancel 

the tournament . . . at another 

tournament it was 25 deg C on 

day one and on day three it was 

snowing.” 

Essentially the third tier of 

golf in Europe, the Alps Tour 

has proven to be a pathway for 

others. Jones hopes to follow in 

the footsteps of English golfer 

Matt Wallace, who spent time on 

the tour before breaking into the 

top 50 in the world. 

“He’s now a four-time 

European Tour winner. He spent 

four years on the Alps Tour.” 

Jones thanks his family and 

his wife, who works full-time, 

for allowing him to concentrate 

purely on his golfing career. 

However, he has put a timeline 

on his progression. If he fails to 

gain a card for the Challenge 

Tour at the end of the year, he 

will re-address the situation. 

“I’m not thinking about that 

right now; I’m all about golf. I’m 

just trying to find that extra one 

per cent to get to the next level. 

I think if you start to focus on 

something else, then you may as 

well not be in it to be honest.” 

Before heading back to Europe, 

Jones will play a number of New 

Zealand PGA events in the North 

Island. 

Jones hopes to make enough 

prize money to cover his flight 

home to Switzerland, which is 

around $3000. He will have a 

good chance of doing so if he can 

win a third straight title at the 

Napier Pro-am later this month.

month 

A NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and 

double ye low lines wi l be in 

place on Dyers Pa s Rd by early 

May. 

The sp ed limit change was 

a proved by the city counci last 

w ek. 

A decision to paint double yellow 

lines on the stretch betw en 

Summit Rd and the Sign of the 

Takahe was earlier made by the 

Spreydon-Cashmere Community 

Board. 

Bu the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board decided against 

ye low lines on the Summit Rd- 

Governors Bay section due to the 

road’s na rowne s and general 

condition. 

The changes are designed to try 

and reduce the crash rate. 

Insta lation of the double 

ye low lines, the new sp ed limit 

signs and raised centre line pavement 

markers wi l begin in mid 

April. 

The work is scheduled to take 

place betw en April 15-18, 2-26, 

29 and May 2. 

While the work is done, Dyers 

Pa s Rd wi l be closed to traffic 

from the Sign of the Takahe to

Brunch by the 

beach 

FANCY 'a side' of ocean view with your 

brekkie? Well it's available on the menu 

at the Pierview Restaurant. 

Located upstairs in the New Brighton 

Club, the Pierview Restaurant has always 

been a popular destination for dining 

and private functions. Offering 

uninterrupted views of beach, pier and 

coastline, the view is a stunning 

accompaniment to any occasion. 

Sensational summer weather in 

Canterbury has seen an increase in 

people scrambling to the beach side and 

to add to the seaside attraction the 

Pierview is open Sundays from 10.30am 

to 2pm for summertime brunch. 

Offering all the expected scrumptious 

breakfast/brunch delights, the menu also 

caters to children. 

Apart from Sunday Brunch the 

Pierview is open from 5.30pm Friday to 

Sunday serving quality, yet very 

affordable, a la carte dining. 

The last Sunday of the month has 

turned into a tradition with the 

Pierview’s ‘all you can eat’ Buffet. Priced 

at just $25 per person, tables fill fast on 

buffet nights, so bookings are essential. 

And on all the other Sundays, there’s a 

choice of the regular dinner menu,
