SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 13 Ellesmere show class in the wet • By Jacob Page A COUPLE of tries, a penalty and some resolute defence in wet conditions helped Ellesmere earn a 15-0 win over the Cantabrians at Springston on Saturday. Their Tane Norton Cup campaign will continue against Canterbury Maori in Kirwee on Saturday. Canterbury Maori beat North Canterbury 21-14 in the other competition game. Tries to Ellesmere centre Cameron Hay and wing James Wilkins proved vital, while Ashton Mulloy added a penalty to help them ease past the Cantabrians, which were made up of Christchurch-based club players. It was a confidence boost for the new-look team, which are preparing for their annual Southbridge Shield game against North Canterbury in a fortnight. Team manager Michael Sheat said the wet and muddy conditions made the game “a bit of a dog fight at times,” but there were plenty of positives to take away. “I thought our lineout was much-improved on the first-up performance and we got some dominance at scrum time too,” he said. “When you’re faced with conditions like that, it can be easier to play without the ball at times. “I thought we adjusted well and got our kicking game going and really tried to control territory as much as we could.” Sheat said the performance was a big improvement on their loss to Mid-Canterbury the previous week, and their defensive energy was much better. “Clearly we leaked a few points against Mid-Canterbury, so SPORT SUCCESS: Ellesmere centre Cameron Hay dots down to help his team to a 15-0 win over the Cantabrians at Springston on Saturday.

The Keas were a composite side of Ellesmere club players, which aimed to give the colts a test before their Southbridge Shield game against North Canterbury in a fortnight. Team manager Dave Beatty said the colts did well to race out to a 12-0 lead, thanks to two tries from halfback Tyler Power. However, once the bigger Keas forward pack started to get their hands on the ball, they started to dominate the game. “They used a lot of one-off runners and pick-and-goes and the physicality was a big step up for us. “Overall, I thought we put in a respectable performance in conditions that did not suit us.” Ellesmere beat the Mid- Canterbury colts in their opening game, and will take on the Canterbury Maori colts at Kirwee on Saturday. Lincoln Combined get ready for bowl semi-final • By Jacob Page LINCOLN Combined ended their UC Championship season in ninth spot after a 36-5 loss to Christchurch Boys’ High School on Saturday. They will play Waimea Combined at Lincoln High School on Saturday in a bowl semi-final. Four Ellesmere senior players have also been named in the initial Canterbury B squad. Prebbleton’s Tim Murgatroyd and Tom Brand, as well as Springston’s Sam Cottam and Waihora’s Harry Kirk, were named in the squad with a match schedule yet to be released.
