Long ban after player 

punched, strangled 

‘He wanted 

to do some 

damage’ 

• By Sophie Cornish 

A FOUR year-plus ban has been 

handed down to a lower grade 

rugby player for strangling an 

opposition player until he was 

blue in the face. 

Rolleston division two centre 

Kerry Ilalio has been suspended 

for 60 playing weeks over the 

incident during a match against 

Prebbleton at Rolleston on March 

18. 

The ban amounts to between 

four and five years. 

Ilalio appeared before an 

Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union 

judicial panel last week, where he 

was given his penalty. 

He was charged with strangling 

around the neck. 

Sub union chairman 

Chris Thornley said Ilalio was 

only playing his second game 

back after another suspension, 

which had carried over from last 

season.

SELWYN TIMES 

ELLESMERE RUGBY bosses must be 

commended for their strong stand over the 

appalling incident in a lower grade match 

(see page 1). 

The ban handed down to Rolleston 

division two player Kerry Ilalio should be a loud and clear 

message this kind of act is not tolerated on the rugby field – or 

any other sports field for that matter. 

The consequences for the player on the end of the violence 

could have been very serious indeed. It seems he wasn’t too far 

from passing into unconsciousness. 

Had that been the case, Ilalio might well have been facing a 

different kind of court than the one he did. 

Hopefully, our coverage makes others who want to step way 

outside of the rules think again.

Rolleston Rotary club takes shape 

Meeting to 

discuss its 

role tonight 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE WHEELS are in motion 

to start a Rotary club in 

Rolleston. 

A group of Rotary members 

have been working on the 

establishment of the Rolleston 

club due to the area’s increasing 

population. 

A meeting is set to be held at 

7pm today in the district council 

staff cafeteria for residents and 

business owners to discuss what 

they can do to get involved and 

help the community. 

Lincoln Rotary Club 

president-elect Matthew 

Sullivan said there are a number 

of residents who have become 

involved in other Rotary clubs 

because there is no existing club 

in Rolleston. 

Mr Sullivan said seven people 

have been working on getting 

a club set up in Rolleston for 

about two years. 

Among the group is Mr 

Sullivan, ex-district Rotary 

governor Liz Courtney, 

ROTARIANS: (Clockwise) Matthew Sullivan, Liz Courtney, Nick 

Courtney and Bill Penno are part of a group working to start a 

Rotary club in Rolleston. 

incoming Rotary district 

governor-elect Nick Courtney 

and current Lincoln Rotary 

president Bill Penno. 

“There’s some pretty good 

horsepower behind it,” said Mr 

Sullivan. 

He said the new club will 

still stick to some of the 

traditional rules of Rotary, but 

it will mainly be up to its new 

members to decide how it is 

run. 

“We are wanting the new 

club to be unique. It might be 

that it’s totally family-orientated 

and just operates in the 

weekends.” 

“As Rotarians, we volunteer 

our skills, talents and whatever 

time we have available to make 

a difference in our community. 

By working together on local 

projects, we meet new people, 

network, socialise and have fun 

together gaining the satisfaction 

of giving back.” 

No one has been appointed 

to any roles within the planned 

club, as positions will be decided 

by new members as the group 

takes shape.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

ARSON INVESTIGATION 

Police are investigating a 

possible link between two 

barn fires in Templeton 

and Yaldhurst, which may 

have been deliberately lit 

over the weekend. Two 

crews from Harewood and 

Wigram and a tanker were 

called to a fire at a barn 

off Yaldhurst Rd about 

6pm on Saturday. Two fire 

crews from Rolleston and 

Christchurch were then 

called to another barn fire 

on Old West Coast Rd about 

6.52pm. No one was injured 

in the fires and no other 

properties were damaged. 

SHED BLAZE 

Firefighters were called to 

extinguish a small fire at a 

storage shed outside the 

Leeston Takeaway last week. 

The Leeston and Southbridge 

brigades attended at 6pm last 

Tuesday. Food waste stored 

in paper sacks was burnt, 

and the framework of the 

shed was damaged. Leeston 

chief fire officer Lloyd 

Clausen wasn’t certain what 

the cause of the fire was and 

put it down to “spontaneous 

combustion”. The fire 

was extinguished in a few 

minutes, he said.

SPEED LIMITS are under 

review for Halswell and

improve road safety. 

Most of the roads

•From page 1 

The incident happened 

just before halftime when 

Ilalio tackled Prebbleton 

second five-eighths Simon 

Lancaster. 

“I was carrying the ball 

and he tackled me. He 

punched me in the privates 

and in the stomach,” 

Lancaster told Selwyn 

Times. 

“I said to him ‘dude, no 

need for that’ and then next 

thing, all of the sudden, 

he had his hands on my 

neck. He grabbed my 

Adam’s apple and started 

going real hard at it. I saw 

in his eyes that he wanted 

to do some damage. I saw 

stars. It wasn’t the nicest of 

feelings,” he said. 

The game continued 

until the referee, Alan

Prebbleton player, Dallas

Lancaster’s aid and tackled 

Ilalio off him. 

Webber said he had never 

witnessed anything like the 

incident during a game but 

declined to comment any 

further. 

Said Lancaster: “The next 

day it was really hard to 

swallow. I had a hand-print 

of his hand around my 

neck, which was all red. 

They said I was blue when I 

stood up. I couldn’t breathe 

at all and I was seeing stars 

at one point. I’ve never 

experienced something like 

that before,” 

Lancaster played into the 

second half before retiring 

from the game because he 

was struggling to breathe.

critical issue for the city

The city council has been

Rolleston Rugby Football 

Club president Paul

club strongly condemned 

the incident and fully 

supported the judiciary and 

the ruling it made. 

“Violence is not 

acceptable anytime, or 

anywhere. This type 

of behaviour is deeply 

concerning and does not 

reflect our values as a 

club.” 

Mr Frewen said “the 

player” (Ilalio) had been 

visited and offered support 

and guidance.

to appeal the ban.

New cemetery and sports 

hub on cards in Templeton 

LAND IN Templeton may 

be used to develop a new 

cemetery and sports hub. 

The Christchurch City 

Council is investigating the 

possibility of using about 

100ha of land it at 173 

Maddisons Rd for the new 

site. 

It is considering 

using about 

two-thirds of that 

land for a cemetery 

and zoning the 

balance of it for the 

development of a 

sports hub. 

“We are at the 

early stages of our 

investigations and no 

decisions on the future of 

the land have been made 

yet,’’ said city council head 

of parks Andrew Rutledge. 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

“As a local authority, 

we are required under the 

Burial and Cremation Act 

to provide for community 

burial needs. Most of 

Christchurch’s existing 

cemeteries are at, or 

nearing, capacity so there 

is a need for a new 

cemetery,” he said. 

“The land we 

own at Templeton 

has been identified 

as a preferred 

location for a 

new cemetery for 

several reasons. 

It has reasonable 

soils and is not 

within a drinking water 

protection zone so it is an 

option we want to explore 

further.” 

Mr Rutledge said it is

also assessing the city’s 

long-term needs in relation 

to outdoor sporting 

facilities. 

“We think there is a need 

for a major sports park to 

serve the south-west of the 

city and Templeton has 

been identified as an ideal 

location,” he said. 

“There is currently no 

money allocated for the 

development of a sports 

park in that location but we 

may look at zoning 30ha of 

the land in Maddisons Rd 

for such purposes so that 

we can develop it in the 

future.” 

Mr Rutledge said it 

would keep residents 

informed of any upcoming 

decisions and would 

consult on plans.

Canterbury leads NZ in police pursuits 

Fire rages, homes at risk 


POLICE PURSUIT numbers 

in Canterbury remain high 

compared to the rest of New 

Zealand. 

New data has revealed for 

the first three months the year, 

there were 145 fleeing driver 

events in the Canterbury metro 

area. This was 73 more than 

the next highest region, central 

Manawatu, 

which had 72 

fleeing driver 

events over the 

same period. 

In January, 

there were 

62 police 

Ash Tabb 

pursuits in the 

Canterbury 

metro area, 49 in 

February and 34 in March. 

If it continues at this rate, there 

would be 580 pursuits in the 

region this year, which would 

be the highest number recorded 

since 2009. There is no data 

available before then. 

Canterbury road policing 

manager Inspector Ash Tabb 

said there is no specific reason 

for why the numbers are so high. 

“Every incident is unique. 

However, there does seem to 

be a significant amount in 

Canterbury. I don’t know if 

CHASED: New police data shows there were 145 fleeing driver events in the Canterbury metro 

area between January and March. 

it’s one of those self-fulfilling 

prophecies where there seems to 

be a lot, and because there is a 

lot, people think there is more.” 

“There seems to be a mindset 

that people run from the police 

in Canterbury . . . it seems to be 

an option people take up more, 

rather than actually stopping. It’s 

a concern because the risks are 

huge.” 

Not having a police helicopter 

also plays a role, Inspector Tabb 

said. 

“When people know there 

is a police helicopter, they 

know there is less chance of 

successfully fleeing. Maybe 

people do think about that. 

We did notice the resolution of 

fleeing driver events when the 

eagle helicopter was here was a 

lot higher. People realise, you 

can’t run from a helicopter.” 

Police abandoned 112 of the 

145 pursuits between January 

and March. There were 17 

crashes during this time as a 

result of fleeing driver events and 

three deaths.

A review of police pursuits,

current strategy to deal with 

fleeing drivers. 

It ruled the current policy “can 

provide the necessary balance 

between public safety and public 

protection.” 

However it made eight 

recommendations to “enhance 

police understanding” of the 

rules around pursuits.

Stars come out in West Melton 

COSMIC DRAGONS, Matariki 

and other sights from millions of 

kilometres away will be seen in 

West Melton next month. 

As part of its Matariki 

celebrations, the district 

council is hosting an 

astrophotography exhibition, 

featuring 11 photographs 

taken by photographers from 

the Canterbury Astronomical 

Society. 

The exhibition, featuring 

photos by Simon Lewis, Gary 

Steel and Euan Mason, of 

Canterbury University, will open 

on Tuesday, June 4, for a month 

at the West Melton Community 

and Recreation Centre. 

Although some of the 

photographs have been 

published in international 

science journals, it will be the 

first time the photographs have 

been displayed together in a 

public exhibition. 

The exhibition is part of the 

district council’s month of 

Matariki celebrations. 

With most of the photographs 

taken in Selwyn, at Greendale or 

the West Melton Observatory, 

district council community 

relations manager Denise 

Kidd said the exhibition also 

highlights the beauty of the night 

sky as seen from many parts of 

the district. 

“Matariki is a celebration 

based on the stars and Selwyn is 

a great place to see the stars,” she 

said. 

“We want to show visitors what 

can be seen here, and also to 

encourage people in the district 

to look up and enjoy the amazing 

views we have here.” 

The photographs include 

pictures of Matariki and the 

Orion constellation, as well as 

nebulae of fascinating shapes 

and colours, including an image 

of a nebula in the constellation 

Ara, which has been described as 

the cosmic dragons. 

As part of the celebrations, 

Canterbury University associate 

professor Karen Pollard will give 

a talk on ‘The Secret Life of Stars’

Lay of the Land 

Brent Forbes 

Brent Forbes exhibits his latest work in a solo show 

‘Lay of the Land’ at Little River Gallery which opens 

Saturday June 1st. 

Brent writes about his painting practice. “It’s like 

driving somewhere. A shape, a curve in the road or a 

certain piece of light comes to your attention then just 

as quickly disappears in the rear-view mirror. Several 

kilometres down the road the same thing happens 

again, each new vista either forgotten or somehow 

remembered, an accumulation of random memories. 

Upon arrival you now have a loose set of images 

in your mind – some can be tied to a certain 

place, others cannot – but either way there has 

been a conscious and unconscious engagement 

with your surroundings. 

Then you head into the studio and use these points 

of reference to start working. But working is 

something else. There is experimentation, conflict 

and resolution. There is engagement and restraint. 

There is a journey with its own rules. 

Sometimes you end back up where you started, but 

if you are lucky you can end up somewhere new – 

discovered because you had an idea of where you 

wanted to go but as you set off you threw the map 

out the window.”

Walking in mum’s shoes 

THE WHOLE family was 

at home last week, but it 

was not been a complete 

holiday for me (well, you 

know what I mean), as 

Laura’s been recovering 

from an elective surgery. 

A gall bladder removal. 

Add that to the appendectomy 

she had during 

pregnancy and she might 

not have any organs left if 

we have another kid. 

It’s been great having 

some bonus family time, 

but poor Laura’s not been 

able to pick Vittoria up at 

all while in recovery. 

With me home all the 

time, it’s no big drama, but 

you try explaining the situation 

to a one-year-old. 

Laura could show bubs 

her boo-boos all she likes, 

it’s not going to sink in unless 

there’s a baby-friendly 

picture book on keyhole 

surgery out there. 

It’s pretty sad for me 

seeing Vittoria reaching 

up to her mummy and 

crying to be picked up and 

cuddled, Lord knows how 

tough that is for Laura. 

More cuddles for me I 

guess. 

She was off work 

last week and took the 

opportunity to come to 

some of the baby activities 

she’s missed out on. 

In less surgical matters, 

Vittoria took her first steps 

in her mum’s shoes last 

week. 

Literally. 

She’s started getting 

interested in our shoes and 

occasionally goes and grabs 

us some to put on if we are 

sitting on the couch. They 

may or may not be a matching 

pair. 

Well, after a few sessions 

playing shoe shop assistant, 

she decided to try them 

on herself. Her first go 

on Sunday saw her walk 

around the lounge in one 

of Laura’s sneakers. Which 

was on backwards. 

One she took it to the 

next level and wore Laura’s 

Ugg boots. I helped her put 

the second one on. 

They were a bit harder to 

walk in and she kept falling 

over, until one fell off 

and the other one turned 

around backwards. 

Then she could happily 

walk around the lounge 

until Laura needed her 

slippers back. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

ON THE MOVE: 

Vittoria in her 

mother’s Ugg 

boots, falling 

over is one of 

the hazards 

when wearing 

adult shoes. 

Did I help her? No, I just 

took a video and laughed. 

Parenting genius over here. 

I fully expect we’ll be 

seeing plenty of backwards 

shoe walking now.

Capping off Broomhall’s rugby career 

• By Jacob Page 

PREBBLETON’S Stephanie 

Broomhall didn’t need a cap to 

validate her international rugby 

career – but it sure was “a nice 

cherry on top.” 

The former Christchurch, 

Canterbury and New Zealand 

representative, who won eight 

caps for the Black Ferns and 

scored 35 points, was presented 

with her cap at a South Island 

ceremony recognising past 

women’s players to wear the 

fern. 

“I feel extremely privileged to 

have travelled the world playing 

the sport I love and to be given 

all the amazing opportunities 

I was given during my playing 

days,” she said. 

Broomhall (nee Mortimer) was 

a winger and made her Black 

Ferns debut in 2003. She was 

named women’s player of the 

year in 2004 and was a World 

Cup winner in 2006. 

Her brother-in-law is 

former Canterbury No 8 Sam 

Broomhall. 

She said while rugby had an 

amateur feel during most of 

her career, she was extremely 

grateful for the opportunities she 

has been given. 

“I think it’s great that 

women’s rugby is getting to the 

level it is now, but I take pride 

in being part of the generation 

of women’s players which paved 

the way for the current girls,” 

she said. “I remember being one 

of the first three women to be 

part of the Canterbury Rugby 

Academy and that was a big deal 

because we had gym access and 

access to physios and dietitians 

and other medical staff.” 

She said it was great to share 

the capping ceremony with her 

family, especially her husband 

and four sons. 

Her three youngest boys 

play rugby at Prebbleton after 

the family moved to the area 

10 years ago, and Broomhall

coaches her son’s under-10 team, 

which means her time in rugby 

shows no sign of stopping any 

time soon.

SELWYN TIMES 

So close to a famous win over Christ’s 


A LONG-RANGE penalty kick 

could have snatched a famous 

victory for Lincoln Combined 

over Christ’s College on Saturday 

– but they had to settle for a 

22-22 draw instead. 

Lincoln Combined produced a 

stirring second half to come back 

from 19-5 down at halftime and 

had a 50m penalty 

right on full-time 

to win the game 

but Wil Gualter, 

who captains the 

side, was unable to 

capitalise on the 

Tom 

Hooper 

opportunity. 

It was still a 

huge turnaround 

in fortunes against a traditional 

UC Championship heavyweight, 

just seven days after Lincoln 

Combined were beaten by lowly 

Roncalli Combined in Timaru. 

Coach Tom Hooper joked that 

the roller-coaster nature of his 

team was taking a toll. 

“I may not make it to the end 

of the season at this rate,” he 

said. 

Hooper said his team showed 

better composure in the second 

half, especially not to be 

overawed by the occasion. 

“I think we played with much 

better shape and all-round 

composure and that really 

helped us find our patterns.” 

He was thrilled with how his 

forward pack went in all set piece 

ALMOST: Lincoln Combined nearly pulled off a famous upset against Christ’s College in Darfield 

on Saturday, but had to settle for a 22-22 draw. 

areas, especially the scrums. 

The result leaves Lincoln 

Combined with one win, a draw 

and two losses after four rounds 

of the competition. 

They will face Mid-Canterbury 

Combined in Ashburton on 

Saturday, which is another 

potential banana-skin game 

similar to Roncalli Combined. 

“We have to learn from what 

happened against Roncalli and 

use this result against Christ’s to 

push ourselves onwards in this 

competition,” Hooper said. 

“The result on Saturday 

should give the boys plenty of 

confidence that if they play their 

way and not to the level of the 

opposition that things will work 

out.”

Selwyn Times 

2019/20 plan signals 

Modern Māori Quartet headlining 

Matariki Celebrations in Selwyn 

major projects 

Most Selwyn householders will have received a copy of the Council’s Annual Plan summary in 

their letterbox recently. 

The mini-booklet sets out the Council’s major projects for the 2019/20 year, along with information 

on changes to rates from 1 July 2019. 

Last year we consulted widely on our Long-Term Plan 2018–2028 (LTP), setting out our priorities 

for our district’s services, facilities and infrastructure. Nearly one year into that programme, we’re 

making good progress in meeting our targets. 

Projects for the coming year are largely unchanged from what was proposed in the LTP, with 

only minor adjustments to budgets and timing. As the proposed changes are not significant or 

material, we will not be undertaking formal consultation on the plan this year. 

There’s no significant change to the levels of rates increases which we signalled last year. As 

forecast, the average rate rise across the district will be around 6% from 1 July 2019. 

With our district population booming, we have a substantial workload of new projects ahead of us 

to ensure our communities have the services and facilities they will need. 

Major projects we’ll be working on in the coming year include Te Ara Ātea and the Rolleston town 

centre upgrade including roading projects ($34 million), Foster Park indoor courts ($21 million), 

Selwyn Aquatic Centre extension ($13.8 million) and the new Health Hub proposal ($15 million). 

Major infrastructure projects include the Shands/Blakes Road intersection upgrade ($5 million) 

and district-wide water quality improvements ($3.5 million). 

Visitor promotions, events and our arts, culture and lifelong learning services will benefit from 

continuing investment. 

We’ll also continue to support our townships with initiatives such as playgrounds, cycleways, 

reserve developments and recycling facilities. 

The Annual Plan summary is also available from the Council offices or any Selwyn library, or online 

at www.selwyn.govt.nz/annualplan. The full Annual Plan 2019/20 will be adopted by the Council in 

June 2019. 

KidsFest back for winter holidays 

Bookings are opening next week for KidsFest. 

The popular holiday programme is returning to Selwyn these July school holidays and bookings will be 

open on Tuesday 4 June. 

Council’s Sport, Recreation and Wellbeing manager Dave Tippett encourages people to book their 

children in early for their preferred events as they often book out quickly. 

“We’ve got a wide mix of events this year with new activities and favourites from last year. Elgregoe 

the Magician will be bringing his new show Amaze, and there’s a Navigational Rampage mixing 

rogain and orienteering. 

“We’ve also got Hip Hop classes and Sport Suzie’s Super Silly 

Circus Show coming back, along with popular events such as the 

High Ropes Challenge, Discomanias and Selwyn Kids’ Market.” 

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre will be breaking out its big inflatables, 

paddle boats and inflatable toys and there will also be activities at the 

Selwyn Libraries such as Map Making Workshops, Makerstations, 

House of Bricks, Intaglio Printing and other craft activites. 

KidsFest has been delighting children in Selwyn, Christchurch and 

Waimakariri for over 25 years and families can attend events run in 

any of the three areas. 

Some KidsFest events are free and others are available at low cost. 

Booking is required for some events. 

For information on events and bookings visit kidsfest.co.nz, or pick 

up a KidsFest booklet from a Selwyn Library, the Lincoln Event 

Centre, Rolleston Community Centre or Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

Music and story will be at the heart of Matariki celebrations in Selwyn. 

Matariki is the traditional Māori new year celebration, observed in 

June. It is a time for whānau to come together, to remember those 

who have passed away in the last year and to celebrate the dawn 

of a new mahinga kai (food and natural resource) season. With the 

kūmara recently harvested it was also a time of feasting, celebrating 

and wānanga (learning). 

For Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki, the local people of Taumutu, the kūmara 

harvest is even more significant as Taumutu is the southernmost 

point where kūmara was grown in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

The highlight of this year’s Matariki celebrations, organised by the 

Council, will be a concert with the Modern Māori Quartet (MMQ) on 

Saturday 15 June. The quartet bring a modern take on a long history 

of Māori showbands, mixing acting, pop music and traditional waiata 

with a good dose of tongue-in-cheek Māori humour, charm and 

charisma to tell Kiwi stories in a unique way. 

MMQ will be preceded by up and coming local bands with ties to Te 

Taumutu Rūnanga. 

Over the month there will also be story times, weaving workshops 

and other crafts at the Selwyn Libraries, along with an evening talk 

on the Secret Life of the Stars at Lincoln Event Centre. 

An astrophotography exhibition will be hosted at West Melton 

Community and Recreation Centre, with photos of the night sky 

taken by the members of the Canterbury Astronomical Society. 

The concert with the Modern Māori Quartet will be held at the 

Lincoln Event Centre, 7–9pm, Saturday 15 June. Tickets $30 per 

person, book at bit.ly/maoriquartet. 

For a full list of Matariki activities in Selwyn visit selwyn.govt.nz/ 

matariki, or pick up a brochure from your local Selwyn library or 

community centre. 

Awards to recognise community 

‘heroes’ in Malvern 

The Malvern Community Board will honour local community heroes 

in its Community Services Awards. 

Nominations are now open for the 2019 awards, which will be 

presented at a special event in August. 

“There are so many volunteers and individuals who are doing 

outstanding work in Malvern,” says Community Board chairperson 

Jenny Gallagher. “These are our community heroes – it’s great to be 

able to tell their stories to the wider community, and recognise the 

time, effort and resources they give. 

“If you know of anyone who’s deserving of recognition for 

their outstanding voluntary service to the community, please 

nominate them.” 

The awards recognise several categories of voluntary service 

including recreation, youth activities, aged, welfare, educational 

service, cultural, religious and community affairs. 

Nominees for the awards may be giving voluntary service as a 

resident of the Malvern Community Board area, or a non-resident 

person who performs their service for the benefit of the area, or a 

resident who performs their service outside this community. 

Nominations are invited from organisations, associations, societies, 

clubs or individuals. Forms and guidelines are available from the 

Darfield Library and Service Centre or online from the Council 

website at selwyn.govt.nz/malvernawards. 

Nominations close on 5 July 2019 with the Secretary of the Malvern 

Community Board.

Ellesmere teams 

exit country comp 

PROMISING: Lincoln utility Ben Clare scored an early try but it 

wasn’t enough as his team bowed out of the country combined 

rugby competition on Saturday. PHOTO: KAREN CASEY 


FOR THE first time in the 

combined country rugby 

competition, there will be no 

Ellesmere teams in the final on 

Saturday. 

Both Lincoln and Springston 

were unable to win their 

semi-finals on the road over 

the weekend, which means 

Glenmark-Cheviot will play 

Southern in the decider on 

Saturday. 

Glenmark-Cheviot easily 

accounted for Springston 49-7 at 

Omihi, while Southern overcame 

a 15-5 halftime deficit to beat 

Lincoln 36-23 at Hinds. 

Lincoln co-coach Kris 

Partridge said Southern 

overwhelmed them in the last 

20min, which blew-out the final 

score. 

“We led 18-17 with about 

20min to go but Southern played 

really smart footy in the second 

half,” he said. 

A Brad Mavor penalty was the 

last time Lincoln was in the lead 

as Southern, which are vying 

for their first title, piled on three 

unanswered tries to seal the 

game. 

“They controlled the ball 

and kept asking us questions 

defensively and eventually broke 

through our line.” 

Players make Canty wider training squad 

Five Ellesmere players 

have also been named 

in the Canterbury provincial 

wider training squad. 

Waihora playmaker Harry 

Kirk, along with Springston 

duo Cameron Powell and 

Partridge said he felt like 

halftime came at an inconvenient 

moment for them. 

“I felt like we were all over 

them in the first half and then 

the break came and that was just 

poor timing, it wasn’t what we 

needed and it gave them a chance 

to re-group really well,” he said. 

“At the end of the day, the boys 

did everything they could and we 

gave ourselves a chance to win, 

but Southern played really well 

when it counted.” 

Meanwhile, Springston were 

simply no match for Glenmark- 

Cheviot. Their attack kept the 

scoreboard ticking over and their 

resolute defence held firm. 

Glenmark-Cheviot will play for 

their first combined country title 

since 2010 in the final. 

In the other matches, 

Prebbleton outlasted Waihora 30- 

27 to earn fifth spot, and Darfield 

managed seventh after a 50-31 

win over Burnham-Dunsandel- 

Sam Cottam, and the 

Prebbleton combo of Tim 

Murgatroyd and Tom Brand 

made the cut. 

The national provincial 

competition starts on 

August 8. 

Irwell. 

Southbridge beat Saracens 53- 

33 to finish ninth. West Melton 

beat Rolleston 15-0 to finish 19th, 

while Hornby were left with the 

wooden spoon after a 28-19 loss 

to Ashley. 

The Ellesmere competition will 

start on June 8.

Rams stay top of metro rugby table after thrashing University 

Jim Doyle reports on 

Lincoln University’s 

performance against 

University 

LINCOLN University stayed 

at the top of the metro premier 

rugby competition beside 

Christchurch after an 11-try 

63-8 win over bottom-placed 

University at Ilam on Saturday. 

University weren’t that bad. 

They had all the ball for several 

minutes at the start and looked 

100% 

CAPITAL gAIN 

TO THE RESIDENT 

promising in their use of it. 

Then Antonio Shalfoon 

crashed over for the Rams after a 

sharp break by Luke Donaldson 

and the points just kept piling up 

for the visitors. 

University did get a try 

heading into the last quarter 

through right-wing Josh 

Corrigan, who showed a lot of 

talent. 

But they couldn’t make a real 

impression against Lincoln Uni, 

which rested, or partly rested, 

some frontline players. 

It came down to no-contest 

scrums in the final few minutes 

as University ran out of frontrow 

options. 

Shalfoon had some big 

moments carrying the ball for 

the Rams, and Donaldson put on 

a top display from halfback with 

his delivery and sniping runs. 

Callum Burrell was at his 

rugged best from hooker until 

he was subbed off for the last 

quarter, only for Nic Souchon

Glen Beardsley shone off the 

openside flank with bursting 

runs and crunching tackles. 

But the Ram who stole the 

show was right-wing Brian

of tries. 

The Zimbabwean showed 

startling pace when the ball was

Southbridge A add to Lincoln A’s woes 

POISE: Courtney Haberfield 

lofts the ball into the attacking 

circle. 


SOUTHBRIDGE A took a 

big step towards staying in the 

Selwyn premier netball grade 

after a 62-56 win over Lincoln A 

on Saturday. 

With netball returning after 

a week off due to outdoor court 

safety concerns, Southbridge 

outlasted their youthful 

opponents at the Lincoln Event 

Centre. Lincoln will now battle 

Prebbleton to stay in the top 

grade after round one ends. 

Southbridge netball coach 

Sarah Ormandy said her team 

clicked in the first quarter and 

built a lead which they were able 

to maintain. 

“Everything worked from 

the first quarter,” she said. “The 

shots were going in and we got 

defensive rebounds, which isn’t 

always easy against Lincoln. 

Hopefully the win will help 

the team play with a bit more 

freedom now that they have the 

win.” 

Lincoln coach Dawn Dalley 

said her team showed patches of 

strong play but were inconsistent 

at crucial times. “Our mid-court 

performed well but our attackend 

struggled in the first half 

in particular, and we need to 

work on our distance because we 

were giving away too many soft 

penalties. We are still chasing 

that 60min performance.” 

Dalley lamented the stop-start 

nature of the competition so far, 

with no games being played over 

Queen’s Birthday weekend. 

“It’s just made it tough to find a 

rhythm so far,” Dalley said. 

In the other matches, a 

semi-final rematch from last 

year saw Greenpark A beat 

Greenpark B 61-47 to underline 

their credentials. Broadfield A 

continued their unbeaten season 

with a comfortable 57-38 win 

over Prebbleton

SELWYN TIMES 

Winging his way to a life in England 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SCOTT Hamilton’s versatility 

as a Crusaders’ outside back 

has helped in his current life as 

a player/coach and director of 

rugby in England. 

Hamilton played 61 matches 

for the Crusaders between 

2003 and 2008, scoring 21 tries. 

Now, more than 10 years since 

he last ran onto the field in red 

and black, he has hung up his 

boots for the final time at the 

age of 39, playing his last game 

for the Hinckley Rugby Club in 

Leicestershire. 

Hamilton got his first taste of 

rugby with Glenmark in North 

Canterbury before he became a 

boarder at Christchurch Boys’ 

High. He is part of a unique club 

of players who went on to play 

for the All Blacks, but failed to 

gain a spot in the CBHS first XV. 

“I never had much confidence 

as a kid, so I was happy just to be 

part of the team . . . it’s actually 

the best thing that could have 

happened to me to be honest, 

because instead of being an 

average player in the best team, 

I became a good player in an 

average team,” he said. 

Following high school, 

Hamilton studied at Lincoln 

University and played for the 

Lincoln Rugby Football Club in 

the Ellesmere competition before 

returning to Glenmark. 

At 21, he had a brief stint 

playing for a club in the United 

States. When he returned, he 

was surprisingly unable to gain 

selection in the Canterbury 

Country team. However, an 

injury to another player saw 

him called into the team at late 

notice, which ended up being a 

springboard for the rest of his 

career. 

“The Canterbury selector came 

out to watch and I happened 

to have a great game. I think 

I scored three tries and all of 

a sudden, I found myself in 

the Canterbury set-up,” said 

Hamilton. 

He played a handful of games 

for Canterbury in the 2002 NPC 

before being pushed back to 

Canterbury B after the return of 

a number of All Blacks. However, 

he received a phone call at the 

end of the season from Robbie 

Deans asking him to be part of 

the Crusaders. 

“In about four months, I went 

from not being good enough 

to cracking the Canterbury 

Country team to being selected 

for the Crusaders,” he said. 

Hamilton says he was totally 

out of his depth when he first 

joined the Crusaders in 2003. 

“I was a bit of a simple 

country boy. The car park at 

training would be full of Ford 

Falcons because of the amount 

of All Blacks we had . . . I was 

driving a lovely little threedoor 

Ford Laser I got from my 

grandmother,” said Hamilton. 

“I was always meaning to 

take a photo of it in the car park 

because it certainly stood out 

like a sore thumb.” 

Hamilton wasn’t expecting to 

play in his first season with the 

Crusaders. However an injury 

to Ben Blair saw him start one 

match at fullback and make 10 

appearances from the bench. 

In 2005, he scored eight tries 

in as many appearances, which 

saw him make two All Blacks 

appearances later in the year. 

While with the Crusaders, 

Hamilton shared a flat with 

Dan Carter before living with 

Campbell Johnstone and Kevin 

O’Neill. 

“Campbell had a large phobia 

of vegetables, so we would 

regularly pop down to the 

Mad Butcher on a Sunday and 

he would have his favourite, 

which was a meat medley of 

three different meats and a 

few potatoes on the side,” said 

Hamilton. 

He was also on the scene in 

the early days when Johnstone 

and Cory Flynn owned the Fitz 

Sports Bar on Fitzgerald Ave. 

“We certainly had our fair 

share of good nights in the Fitz 

. . . I do remember one time after 

we won the final, (Johnstone) 

slipped over and smacked his 

head on the trophy.” 

A career highlight – which 

•Great players have come and gone from the Crusaders over 

the years. From today until the end of the season, Selwyn Times 

catches up with some of them. 

WORKHORSE: Scott Hamilton scored 21 tries in 61 games for 

the Crusaders in the 2000s. He has only recently hung up his 

boots, playing his last game for Hinckley in the fourth-tier of 

English rugby. 

Hamilton also describes as one 

of his biggest disappointments 

– came in the in 2008/09 season 

when he almost accomplished 

somewhat of a Northern and 

Southern hemisphere grand 

slam. 

In his final season in New 

Zealand, he won the Super 

Rugby title with the Crusaders 

and the NPC title with 

Canterbury. He then arrived 

at Leicester to help them win 

the premiership in England. 

However, Leicester fell in the 

final of the European Cup 

the same season, which saw 

Hamilton fall one short of 

what would have been four 

consecutive major titles in the 

space of 12 months. 

Hamilton played seven seasons 

and scored 35 tries for Leicester 

before taking up a player/coach 

role at third-tier English club 

Coventry. 

“I didn’t want to stop playing, 

that’s why the player/coach thing 

was great,” he said. 

He guided the side to a midtable 

finish before taking up the 

player/coach role at Hinckley 

in the fourth-tier of English 

rugby. He has also recently been 

appointed as director of rugby at 

the club. 

Surprisingly, Hamilton played 

his final competitive match in 

April, which was Hinckley’s last 

game of the season. 

Outside of rugby, Hamilton is 

an account manager at G4S – a 

British multinational security 

services company. 

“We’ve got secure vans, which 

go around businesses and collect 

cash and take it to the bank,” he 

said.

Proof diesel is still a viable option 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

I HAVEN’T quite worked out 

why New Zealand buyers shy 

away from diesel-powered cars. 

There are many reasons why 

diesel power is preferable, and if 

you take into account that most 

of the market leading sellers here 

are diesel-fed, notably double-cab 

utility vehicles, then I’m lost to 

explain why that popularity hasn’t 

channelled to diesel cars and 

SUVs, particularly cars – sedans 

and coupes. 

Many of the mainstream 

manufacturers are downsizing the 

diesel line-up, however, many of 

the European brands still see the 

worth of offering diesel in family 

vehicles, and if the Mercedes- 

Benz C220d is anything to go by 

I can see why it is incorporated 

into the five-car C-Class sedan 

mix. 

The C220d has a 2-litre 

turbocharged engine which has 

some amazing figures in terms of 

power output, performance and 

economy. 

It is rated with 143kW and 

400Nm power outputs, that’s 

strong enough to claim a 

standstill to 100km/h acceleration 

time of 6.9sec. The torque flow 

is strong from almost nowhere, 

and it delivers right through to 

the top end of the mid-range. 

That force delivers an immensely 

satisfying driving feel, it is the feel 

that I’ve described many times 

in my columns and for anyone 

contemplating buying diesel, it is 

wonderful to feel from under the 

accelerator pedal. 

While it has that amazing 

performance, the C220d also 

has incredible fuel usage figures. 

Mercedes-Benz claims an 

amazing 4.7-litre per 100km 

combined cycle average. That 

equates to around 60mpg in 

imperial terms, and if you are on 

a long highway cruise it will sip 

fuel at the rate of just 4.2l/100km 

(67mpg) at 100km/h, the engine 

just barely turning over at around 

1200rpm. 

I took the evaluation car on 

my usual Malvern Hills loop 

and enjoyed its freedom on the 

open road, it steers beautifully 

and provides all the satisfaction 

you get from a rear-wheel-drive 

car. Power is channelled in that 

direction through a nine-speed 

automatic gearbox. 

The transmission is a stunner, 

so smooth are the changes it’s 

almost as if there are no changes 

bar the needle shift on the 

tachometer. Of course, there are 

driver selectable steering-wheelmounted 

paddles, but I never 

used them a lot, far preferring 

to let the gearbox do its own 

thinking, the engine/transmission 

combination never disappoints. 

When pushed into a series 

of quick corners the C220d 

responds with beautiful balance 

and directional control. 

Grip is high through sport 

specification 19in Continental 

tyres and with clever traction 

control devices there is little 

chance the rear would step out 

under heavy power provocation. 

There are a series of corners, 

that I reserve solely for when I am 

evaluating rear-wheel-drive cars, 

and the C220d didn’t disappoint, 

it lunges out of a corner apex with 

the strength you can only get with 

turbocharged diesel power, it is 

infectious, and you also have the 

• Price – Mercedes-Benz

• Fuel usage – 4.7l/100km 

satisfaction of knowing that when 

it comes time to slow for the next 

corner, huge brakes take care of 

slowing speed. The pedal feels 

tight and solid underfoot. 

The C220d is the epitome of 

the sports sedan market, the 

figures all stack up, and it feels 

just so right to be in. At $75,800 

I guess it has to have a lot on

offer, but you do get a lot of kit 

in the car, and if you think of 

the quality within the way it is 

built and the amount of safety 

features and items for comfort 

and convenience, then it is money 

well spent, and the satisfaction 

that you get from every drive 

makes it a very desirable 

purchase. 

If you are C-Class buyer yet still 

can’t quite get your head around 

the complications of diesel with the 

road user charges Kiwi diesel car 

buyers have to face, bear in mind 

the C-Class is an entire range from 

four-cylinder to V8 petrol. 

As much as I like the C63S with 

its huge V8 power and sound, 

the diesel is the car for me, it 

represents all the amazing things 

you can glean from the engine – 

economy, low emissions, and that 

fabulous mid-range grunt.

Bikers with a cause sums up what the Tribal Nations 

Motorcycle Club is all about; where members from around 

Aotearoa New Zealand enjoy riding while supporting 

causes which help the community. 

In 2014, 18 keen motorcyclists (the originals) formed 

the Tribal Nations Motorcycle Club in Waikato. It is now 

a nationwide social motorcycle club with regional groups 

managed by an Ambassador and committee. 

The club holds organised rides around the country to 

raise funds and spread awareness around issues like youth 

suicide, domestic violence and mental illness with their 

aim to make a difference. Members and other motorcyclists 

participate with their mass presence on the road ensuring 

their message of hope, anti-violence and support is not 

missed. 

Mike Pero and Allan Townsend. 

Tribal Nations and other rides supported include 

the: Ride of Respect (in honour of fallen and returned 

servicemen and an RSA fundraiser – held nationwide 

during ANZAC week); Green Ribbon R.A.T.S. (a teen 

suicide awareness campaign and fundraiser for Riders 

against Teenage Suicide); the White Ribbon Ride (against 

domestic violence); and other rides for causes such as child 

cancer. 

Ambassador to Tribal Nations’ Te Turu (Canterbury) 

region, Allan Townsend became involved after losing a 

family member to suicide and experiencing the challenges 

following such a traumatic life event. Allan and his wife, 

Kerry organised a West Coast ride which had a strong 

turn-out of riders. Allan and Kerry have since been 

responsible for more events (independently and under the 

Tribal Nations members: Lesa Clarke, 

Mike King and Garry McLennan at the 

Timaru Hope Walk. 

Tribal Nations banner), including the AVIVA ride with 

Mike Pero as main sponsor. 

Together with Tribal Nations Te Turu members, Allan 

and Kerry also participated in organising the R.A.T.S. ride 

in March, which raised $4,500 for the charity Supporting 

Families in Mental Illness. 

Allan said on his second White Ribbon tour, which 

circuits the South Island in 11 days, he spoke to school 

groups about domestic violence. 

“They’re a good bunch on the rides. Some have had 

personal experience with the cause while others simply 

want to help raise money for a good cause. I feel blessed 

to have a wonderful family and happy life, which is why 

I became involved in fundraising and sharing my own 

experiences in the hope of making a difference to other 

people’s lives,” says Allan. 

Allan is thankful for the support received from 

individuals and businesses such as the Christchurch 

Casino, Ornsby Motorcycle Training and WasteCo, as well 

as all the riders who pay to join a ride. 

Locally, the Tribal Nations region covers the area 

from Kaikoura to Timaru and includes the West Coast 

from Hokitika south. If wishing to participate in an 

organised ride, check out Tribal Nations Facebook 

page (Tribal Nations MC Community) or visit: www. 

tribalnations.org.nz/. The next scheduled ride is on the 

23rd November in Timaru.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Auto electrical service and 

parts nearby 

We are almost through the first month of 

autumn with the mornings and evenings 

now much cooler. 

Cold weather challenges batteries, 

especially if they are on their way out. If the 

air conditioning system is not working as it 

should be, it will mean our vehicle’s heater 

will also be less effective. 

Within Rolleston’s business area and 

close to many people living in Selwyn, is 

Newlands Auto Electrical. As experts in 

auto electrical work, they make short work 

of auto electrical servicing and repairs 

(including air conditioning units). They can 

check your lights, battery and windscreen 

wiper blades, replacing these if needed. 

This winter, Newlands will be running 

a special on their range of automotive 

batteries, priced from $116 plus GST. Call 

in today and the team will advise you on 

the correct battery for your vehicle. 

The team are radio communication 

system specialists, fitting, servicing and 

repairing systems for both commercial and 

personal vehicles. Newlands also produce 

prefabrication and customise electrical 

solutions for local manufacturers, such 

as making the wiring componentry for a 

company building trailers. 

If you need any parts, make Newlands 

Auto Electrical your first port of call. 

They have a wide selection of automotive 

electrical products in stock, along with 

communications equipment, power tools, 

Winter 

special 

automotive 

batteries from 

$116+GST 

hand tools, windscreen wiper blades, 

batteries, and LED lights. There are 4WD 

light bars; directional and standard rear 

lighting for brakes and indicators for most 

vehicles and trailers; and LED lighting for 

campers, caravans, buses, larger vehicles 

and agricultural machinery. If a product is 

not in stock, they are happy to source it for 

you, securing delivery within 24 hours and 

even delivering to those located in or near 

Rolleston. 

Newlands Auto Electrical only stock high 

quality fittings like Hella and Narva brands 

and with direct buying power, their prices 

are very competitive. This is especially the 

case for Newlands’ own quality brand of 

LED lighting. These comprise Phillips brand 

parts so offer reliability and durability. 

It is not surprising this company has been 

operating in Canterbury for more than 80 

years. Their experienced and proficient 

team include electrical technicians, a 

radio communications engineer and parts 

salespeople who pride themselves on 

ensuring satisfied customers. 

Before the really chilly weather is here, 

why not pop into Newlands so they can 

check your battery, lights and wiper blades. 

Using the latest digital battery testing 

technology they will quickly test your 

battery, without even disconnecting it. If 

you need a new one, they have it fitted in 

no time along with any lights or wipers that 

need replacing.

Gardening 


SELWYN TIMES 

Preparation, planting and pruning 

THE WEATHER has cooled and 

days are shorter, but there are still 

tasks to be done in the garden, so 

pop on your gumboots and get 

stuck in. 

Preparing your garden 

Because plants draw nutrients 

from the soil as they grow, as a 

general rule you should incorporate 

fresh compost into your 

garden before planting out each 

season. This improves soil structure, 

provides important nutrients 

and food for vital soil micro-organisms 

and helps plants develop 

strong healthy root systems. 

Vege patch 

Stagger plantings for regular 

harvesting rather than having 

your vegetables mature all at 

once. Keep planting out seedlings 

of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, 

spinach and silverbeet. Seeds to 

sow directly into the soil include; 

broad beans, onions, peas, radish 

and spinach. Autumn temperatures 

can drop suddenly, wiping 

out young plants. A forecast of 4 

deg C or lower means you should 

protect against frost. Use a frost 

cloth (or old net curtains) over 

the garden or re-purpose plastic 

bottles, flower pots or jars and put 

them upside down over individual 

plants (remove any coverings in 

the morning). 

MAINTENANCE: May is the time to get your bulbs in the ground and tackle the pruning jobs when the trees have lost their leaves. 

Rotate vege crops and every few 

years “rest” parts of your garden 

by sowing a ‘green crop.’ This 

helps provide organic Nitrogen 

naturally and protects beds over 

winter. Sow common lupin and 

mustard directly into the soil. 

Once 30cm high (and before 

flowering), pull up plants, chop 

them up with a spade and dig 

them back into the soil. Leave to 

break down in the soil for six to 

eight weeks before planting out. 

Strawberries 

Mound soil into rows and place 

strawberry plants in the ground 

approximately 15cm apart. 

Mounding improves drainage 

and allows the soil to warm up 

quicker and maintain this warmth 

throughout the growing period. 

Flower garden 

Some trusted winter flowering 

annuals to plant include; 

Alyssum, Aquilegia, Calendulas, 

Cineraria, Cornflowers, Larkspur, 

Pansies, Primulas, Stock, Violas 

and wallflowers. Most perennials 

are dormant this time of the year, 

so it’s a good time to divide them 

or move them to another part of 

the garden. New seasonal perennials 

are in garden centres so it’s a 

great time for planting. 

Fruit trees 

Start pruning of pip and stone 

fruit trees including apples, 

apricots, nectarines, peaches and 

plums. Ensure pruning shears/ 

secateurs or loppers are nice and 

sharp and have been cleaned. 

Spray pruned fruit trees with a 

copper compound to help prevent 

reinfection of fungal diseases in 

spring. 

Roses 

Where leaves have fallen in 

cooler areas, rose plants can be 

pruned. Straight after pruning, 

apply a clean-up spray of horticulture 

oil and an application of 

copper oxychloride (not at the 

same time). Garden hygiene is 

very important with roses so remove 

any dead leaves or diseased 

wood from the ground, but don’t 

put them in the compost bin. Remove 

them from the property as 

they can harbour overwintering 

fungal diseases and re-infect your 

plants come spring. 

Bulbs 

This is the last month to get 

bulbs in if you want colourful 

blooms come springtime. Choose 

a nice sunny well-drained site and 

add in bulb mix. Avoid accidentally 

digging up bulbs during 

winter by labelling the area when 

planting. Always check the bulbs 

growing instructions and ensure 

you plant them the right way up. 

Garlic can also be planted this 

month. Plant each clove 40mm 

deep and 60mm apart.

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public

A hearing i scheduled to be

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

Confident at auctions 

Looking confident may be all you need 

to be the last bidder standing when the 

hammer goes down. 

Does your blood pressure go sky-high at 

the sight of an auction room? Chances are 

some of your fellow bidders are doing all 

in their power to psych you out and win 

the bidding. 

Securing a property isn’t just about 

having the most money. Sometimes the 

winning bidder is the one with the most 

confidence. 

They use psychology to convince 

opposing bidders to give up, hoping to 

make everyone else think they’ve got more 

to spend than anyone else in the room. 

Too often, says Bayleys auctioneer 

Daniel Coulson, buyers have preconceived 

ideas about how the auction will unfold 

and have their confidence knocked when 

it doesn’t go their way. 

Two can play at that game. You just need 

to get your strategy right, says Coulson. 

Looking confident may be all you need 

to be the last bidder standing when the 

hammer goes down. 

To be that person you need to do some 

preparation. Make sure you go to a few 

auctions first to get used to them. 

Come bidding day, park yourself on 

the side at the front so that you can 

see everyone in the room and, more 

importantly, they can see you whether 

they’re at the back of the front. 

“It gives you a vantage point and shows 

the opposition you are bidding confidently 

against them.” 

“You are hoping that the other buyers 

have a plan in place,” says Coulson. 

Often that’s to start low. So if you come 

in with a relatively high first bid, you may 

rattle them. 

“The lower the open bid the more people 

can afford to bid,” says Coulson. So you 

could knock out some of the opposition 

before they even place a bid if you choose 

the right opener. 

Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you 

know is going to go for at least $800,000. 

Put an opening bid of $785,000 in, he says. 

Immediately your opposition is going to 

think it will go incredibly high and might 

be unnerved. 

Call each bid out confidently. “It shows 

you are comfortable and in control,” says 

Coulson. 

“The more confident you seem the more 

people will think you have done it before.” 

It’s a really good idea to vary your 

bidding increments, says Coulson. “If it’s 

going up by $2000 bids and it’s below your 

limit don’t be afraid to put a $10,000 bid 

in,” he says. 

“Your competition is always thinking 

about that next $2000 bid and if you 

change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000 

you show you have the money and it 

changes where their next bid has to be. 

Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more.” 

Finally, if you’re a couple, says Coulson, 

make sure you’ve discussed every aspect 

of the auction before you get there. As 

soon as you start looking at each other 

or conferring, the opposition will think 

you’re weak.

REAA - Understanding real estate jargon 

Every industry is full of jargon and 

buzzwords that make no sense to anyone 

who’s not part of the club. Real estate is no 

different, which means it can be hard to get 

up to speed. Here’s a handy guide to some 

of the most common terms you’ll come 

across when buying or selling property. 

Agency agreement: If you are using 

a licensed real estate agent to sell your 

property, you’ll need to sign one of these 

agreements - it sets out what the agent will 

do and what they will be paid. Remember 

you can negotiate the conditions, such as 

who pays for marketing and how much 

the commission is. Make sure you get 

legal advice before you sign, because it’s a 

binding document. 

BEO or BBO: This stands for ‘Buyer 

Enquiry Over’ or ‘Buyer Budget Over’, 

which means that price listed on the 

advertisement indicates the minimum that 

the seller will accept. The seller actually 

needs to give serious consideration to any 

offer over the BEO, so this figure needs to 

be selected carefully. 

Deadline Sale or Deadline Private 

Treaty: In this kind of sale, a property 

is marketed for a set period (with an 

advertised end date). The seller can choose 

to accept an offer at any stage during the 

listing period though it may be stated 

in the advertising that ‘no offer will be 

accepted prior’. Check the fine print. 

LIM: This stands for Land Information 

Memorandum, which contains everything 

that the local council knows about the 

property, such as any issues with drainage 

and plumbing, erosion or permits. It will 

help you identify if any additions haven’t 

got the right consent. A LIM will also 

record any unpaid rates. 

Sale and purchase agreement: This 

is a legally binding contract between 

the buyer and seller for the purchase/ 

sale of a property. It provides certainty 

to both parties and it sets out in writing 

all the agreed terms and conditions. It’s 

essential to get legal advice before you 

sign an agreement – and that you read and 

understand what it means. 

Settlement: This is the end goal in a 

property transaction, when the sale and 

purchase is completed by the exchange of 

property and payment. Settlement occurs 

when the seller receives the money for the 

sale – the buyer will not receive the keys 

until this happens. 

RV: This stands for ‘Rateable Value’ – this 

is a value used to calculate local body rates. 

It should not be assumed to be a market 

value for a property when it is for sale as 

the rating valuation may be a number of 

years old. It is also not responsive to local 

market fluctuations and may not reflect 

any recent renovations to a property. This 

was formerly known as ‘Government 

Value’, or GV. 

Tender: If a property is for sale by 

tender, prospective buyers must submit 

confidential written offers by a set date. 

Usually there is no minimum price, but 

properties are often listed with a BEO or 

BBO price. The seller can then choose the 

offer that is most acceptable to them, based 

on the price and any attached conditions. 

The most attractive tender is likely to be 

one that combines a good price with few 

conditions. Sellers are allowed to negotiate 

with any one or more of the tenderers 

received after tenders close. 

For more advice about buying a 

property, check out the REA free guide

What’s my house really worth? 

When you’ve lived in a property for a 

while it can be hard to be rational about 

its worth. How can you put a price on 

the spot where you’ve built so many 

memories with family and friends? 

Someone will surely recognise the hours 

you spent sanding back the windows or 

digging out the agapanthus in the garden 

and reward you with a high price, won’t 

they? Unfortunately potential buyers may 

see things differently, especially in a slow 

housing market. 

There are several methods you can 

use to gauge the worth of your property. 

Remember that the rateable value or 

RV (formerly known as the government 

valuation, or GV) of your property doesn’t 

really provide any clues. These valuations 

are done by the local council to work out 

what share of rates a household should 

pay. They are only done every three years 

and don’t take any improvements into 

account – increasingly, properties that 

include an RV figure in the advertising 

will come with a disclaimer that it is not 

indicative of current market value. 

These days you can gather a lot of 

information for free thanks to websites 

like Trade Me and Homes.co.nz. Trade 

Me’s Property Insights has information on 

more than 1.5 million homes, including 

rateable value data, previous sale prices, 

when the property was built and what 

size it is. The site also provides an 

estimated value range, based on a melting 

pot of data from sales of comparable 

properties, listing details and user 

activity. Homes.co.nz operates similarly. 

Its estimate service is built on a complex 

set of valuation models, using around 

30 million pieces of data bought from 

councils nationwide, plus sales values and 

a wide set of property features. Both sites 

recognise there are a number of factors 

at play, so they offer an estimated value 

range that can be quite broad. 

While both these sites are useful, they 

don’t show the full picture and should 

only be used as the starting point in 

determining value. They can’t take 

the condition of your property into 

account and they may not recognise 

any improvements you might have 

made (though homes.co.nz does allow 

owners to ‘claim’ their property and edit 

information about it). 

Let’s say you own a large property in an 

area where there have been some bigticket 

sales in the last year. Your property 

might have some serious structural issues 

and be in generally poor condition, yet 

the algorithms may claim that it is worth 

a lot more than any sensible buyer would 

pay for it because other houses in the 

neighbourhood have sold for high prices. 

The impact of this is two-fold. Firstly, the 

seller could anticipate a big pay-day that 

may never arrive; and secondly, some 

buyers may be put off making an offer 

because they think it’s out of range. 

There are a couple of ways to combat 

this. When you start working with a real 

estate agent to sell your property they 

must supply you with a current market 

appraisal or CMA. This is based on 

similar information to the online versions, 

but it also comes with the agent’s realtime, 

real-life knowledge of the area, what 

similar properties have sold for and the 

condition and particular characteristics of 

your own property (such as whether it has 

been repainted recently or it’s in a state 

of disrepair). The agent will have had the 

chance to walk through your property and 

identify its unique selling propositions, 

such as good sun, proximity to desirable 

schools and other features that buyers 

like. It’s important to note that you may 

get varying CMA ranges from different 

real estate agents as they may each take a 

divergent perspective on your property 

that you will then need to consider. 

Your other option is to pay a 

registered valuer to provide you with an 

independent valuation. This service comes 

at a cost (the price will vary, depending 

on the level of detail), but it will be more 

accurate. The Property Institute, which 

represents valuers, says a registered 

valuation can help sellers be a little more 

clinical about their property’s worth. 

Even with all the information you 

can gather, the true indication of your 

property’s value is what a willing buyer 

will pay for it at the given time that it’s on 

the market. A valuation, a price range or a 

figure reached by an algorithm is not cash 

in the bank.

Your guide to Community Developments 

in the Selwyn District 

Giving a heart to Rolleston 

A stunning design, typifying the Southern Alps and 

network of ara tawhito ancient Māori trails across 

the Canterbury Plains (Ngā Pākihi Whakatekateka o 

Waitaha), has been chosen for Rolleston’s new library 

and community centre, Te Ara Ātea. Participating in the 

design process were members of Selwyn’s local Rūnanga 

Te Taumutu, reflecting Te Reo Māori’s historical presence 

within the district. 

“Rolleston has grown massively in a very short time 

and the new town centre will give it a heart as a cultural 

and social anchor for its people,” says Joanne Nikolaou, 

Project Manager responsible for the new town centre. 

Councillor Jeff Bland who chairs the community 

centre build and adjacent area committee agrees: “The 

new town centre will make Rolleston an even better 

place to live.” 

Te Ara Ātea will comprise two levels covering 2,200 

square metres. The ground floor will incorporate: a 

performance/exhibition space; designated community, 

digital and art displays; Tamariki (children’s) zone; 

community area and lounge where a homely welcoming 

atmosphere will support interaction between community 

members and groups; and meeting rooms 

which individuals can book for business, 

student learning, seminars, or the like. 

The upper level will be a more reflective, 

contemplative space. It will have a Waka 

Huia, a historical and cultural treasure box 

of displays and room where people can 

connect with their history. Digital Internet 

via the library will allow research access and 

people will be able to book laptops for use 

within the building. 

Te Ara Ātea will be constructed on 

Tennyson Street, on the site of the existing 

service/toilet block in the sports ground. 

Both the building and town square will look 

north-west while a large promenade will 

border an open reserve and venue area for 

festivals, markets and other events. 

The town square landscaping will 

incorporate seating, drinking fountains, 

shaded areas with more mature plantings and trees, an 

indoor/outdoor Tamariki zone extending out from the 

library, a community vegetable garden, and striking 

water features indicative of Selwyn’s rivers, giving locals a 

charming place to relax and enjoy time with families and 

friends. In the evening, a contemporary lighting system 

signifying constellations like the Matariki will illuminate 

the area, providing a visual yet intimate canopy to the 

square. 

Jeff says construction of stage one including Te Ara 

Ātea is expected to start within the next few months 

with completion within a year. Stage two will focus on 

the wider public reserve, planned playground and youth 

zone with the existing tennis courts to be retained. 

With Rolleston fast becoming the nucleus of Selwyn, 

the town centre will give it a heart as a meeting point 

for people’s journeys while embracing Rolleston’s Te Reo 

Māori roots, agricultural, rail, transport, military and 

multi-cultural connections. 

The town centre will be 

illuminated at night.
