PHOTO: PAUL KOSTER Trying conditions for runners • By Gordon Findlater PERSISTENT RAIN late last week meant that Sumner Running Club members battled what looked more like a mud bath than a racer course at the Canterbury Cross Country Championships. A 28-strong team from Sumner travelled to Halswell Quarry on Saturday and weren’t put off by the trying conditions. Across the junior and senior categories the club collected eight podium finishes, including three golds. In the juniors Abigail Scott- Douglas finished third in the girls under-12 race. There was also a third place finish for Hero Barrettelli in the boys under-10. Meanwhile, in the senior events golds were won by Robyn Perkins in the women’s 55-plus, David Fitch in the men’s 40-plus and Graham Batchelor in the men’s 70 plus. There was also third place finishes for Alistair Cory-Wright in the men’s 50-plus, Jan Harrison in the women’s 50-plus and Katherine Fitch in the women’s 45-plus. The next major event of the Canterbury athletics winter programme in the Canterbury Road Championships on August 31. Uncertain future for Lyttelton • By Gordon Findlater LYTTELTON WILL go into Saturday’s premier reserve quarter finals as the competition’s top qualifier. However, that may not be good enough to see them eligible to play in the competition next year. A decision made by the Canterbury Rugby Union three years ago means teams wanting to compete in the premier reserve grade must also have a team competing in the premier competition. The decision would mean Lyttelton Rugby Club’s top side will be forced to drop down to the senior grade – also known as division three – next year. However, Lyttelton are challenging the decision and club president Clinton Norris is confident it will be overturned as a meeting between the CRFU, metro rugby committee and the clubs on August 7. The change would also effect Suburbs and Otautahi who also compete in the premier reserve grade, but not in the premier competition. It’s understood • By Gordon Findlater LINWOOD CAN well and truly be considered Sumner’s bogey team after their season finished with a third drubbing at Linfield Park. Sumner’s 0-47 loss to Linwood on Saturday followed their previous heavy defeats to the same opposition, losing 22-76 in April and 15-48 earlier this month. The latest result also eliminated Sumner from the bowl playoffs and ended their season. Coach Martin Dodgson said the game was emblematic of their season. “When we were good, we were really good, and when we were bad, we were really bad,” said Dodgson. “Unfortunately we were only really good for the last 20min and Martin Dodgson the change was set to come into place originally in 2017, but was delayed until 2019 to allow the clubs to try and establish a side in both the premier and premier reserve competitions. Norris feels that if Lyttelton are not able to field a side in the premier reserve grade next year it may result in players leaving the sport. “That would kill our club. There’s just no way we could hold onto players or even recruit because players want to play in the grade they feel they’re competitive in,” said Norris. the game was already gone.” One thing Sumner can take from their season is that they were one of only two teams this year to defeat both of this weekend’s premier grand-finalists – Lincoln University and High School Old Boys. However, due to their bowl semi-final exit, they will finish the competition below University, which didn’t win a round-robin match all year, but defeated Belfast in Saturday’s other bowl semifinal. The attention now turns to Sumner’s premier reserve team, which hopes have better fortune at Linfield Park on Saturday when they play Linwood in their quarter-final.

PHOTO: ROZELLE MAY CONCERNS: A decision from the CRFU could see Lyttelton relegated from the premier reserve grade which they currently lead. Some of our players would drop out of the sport and be lost to rugby . . . they just love the culture we have, we’re like a country club in the town competition,” said Norris. He also feels if the club’s top side was forced to play in the metro senior grade it would eliminate the pathway for clubs like Lyttelton to get to the top and establish a premier side in the future. Lyttelton currently has two senior teams and eight junior teams. Lyttelton’s premier reserve side won 12 of their 14 roundrobin games this season and host Sydenham in a quarter-final at 1pm on Saturday. They have previously won the competition in 2011 and 2013. In recent years former Crusaders and All Blacks player Corey Flynn has represented the side. Metro committee chairman Brent Goldsmid said a decision will be made at the meeting on August 7, but declined to comment further on the matter. The CRFU was not able to respond to questions before the Bay Harbour News deadline. Bogey team ends Sumner’s season 3 issues $20 • 6 issues $44.50 • 10 issues $65 rugbynews.co.nz 0800 77 77 10
