Waihora will need form reversal to<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
WAIHORA WILL be sweating<br />
on a major upset if they are to<br />
make the top-four of rugby’s<br />
Coleman Shield on Saturday.<br />
With just one round to go, the<br />
semi-finalists look set unless<br />
fourth-placed Darfield loses to<br />
bottom-of-the-table Rolleston<br />
and defending champions<br />
Waihora beat Prebbleton.<br />
Springston, Southbridge and<br />
Lincoln look set to be in the<br />
play-offs.<br />
The penultimate round produced<br />
some tight fixtures, with<br />
four of the five matches decided<br />
by seven points or less.<br />
Springston’s unbeaten run<br />
came to an end at the hands of<br />
Lincoln 20-19.<br />
Waihora fell short away from<br />
home to Southbridge 27-21,<br />
Darfield got the win they needed<br />
24-17 over West Melton, BDI<br />
sneaked past Rolleston 31-30,<br />
while Prebbleton had a convincing<br />
40-17 win over Hornby.<br />
Waihora coach Joff Mooar said<br />
his team probably had left their<br />
run too late, but he said the team<br />
would do what they can control<br />
to make the playoffs.<br />
“Last year we didn’t suffer injuries,<br />
and last week we had eight<br />
of our starting 15 unavailable,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We haven’t given up hope but<br />
it’s unlikely we’ll make it.”<br />
Lincoln co-coach Kris<br />
Patridge said the early pressure<br />
his team was able to put on<br />
Springston paid off.<br />
“We tried to take it to them as<br />
much as we could in the first 20<br />
minutes and we were up early<br />
14-5 and I think that gassed us in<br />
the later stages,” he said.<br />
“We made our own luck and<br />
were able to hold on which was<br />
pleasing.”<br />
Darfield coach Kris Rodgers<br />
said four tries to his outside<br />
backs proved to be the he difference<br />
over a determined West<br />
Melton.<br />
Alex Parker’s second try late in<br />
the second half proved decisive<br />
and broke the 17-all deadlock.<br />
Hamish Catherwood also<br />
scored twice for Darfield.<br />
Rolleston let a 25-7 lead slip<br />
against BDI to go down by a<br />
point.<br />
Prebbleton got their attack<br />
working with a comfortable win<br />
over Hornby thanks to a six-try<br />
display.<br />
There was a moment’s silence<br />
before the Southbridge and<br />
Waihora match for Southbridge<br />
player Scott Happer who died<br />
suddenly last week.<br />
Lincoln Combined also<br />
performed their haka before the<br />
match as a tribute as Scott was<br />
