10 Tuesday December 10 2019 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Young volleyballers thrive on beach and court • By Jacob Page BURNSIDE HIGH School junior girls volleyballers dominated on both the sand and the court last week. Not only did their indoor volleyball team win back-to-back South Island titles but Rosa Vesty and Taylah Holdem took out the beach title as well. The duo will head to Auckland in February to represent their school at the nationals, where they finished fifth last year. Teacher in charge of volleyball Sam Ryburn said they had a good chance of medalling this year. “Last year they made the quarter-finals and lost to the eventual winners so if they can improve on that they should go close.” He said both Rosa and Taylah were key parts in the indoor success having been named co-most valuable players at the South Island championships at Pioneer Stadium. Burnside took down Cashmere High School 25-22, 25-9 in the final. Both teams had to overcame an early loss in crossover pool play to make the final. Burnside suffered a loss to Christchurch Girls’ High School, while Cashmere High went down to Richmond’s Waimea College. Ryburn said the team refocused well after the loss and was able to bounce-back. SPORT TALENT: Burnside High School junior volleyball team won the South Island title for the second year in a row. “They came at us and really pushed us but sometimes you need a loss like that in a tournament just to get you on the right track again.” He said it was great the team could win back-to-back Canterbury and South Island titles which was a first for the school. BRIGHT FUTURES: Rosa Vesty, left, and Taylah Holdem capped a stellar week by claiming the South Island junior beach volleyball title at the Pioneer Stadium Pit. “We have a lot of depth in volleyball at the school and a supportive environment which helps bring success at both a junior and senior level over a number of years,” he said. NOR’WEST NEWS Avonhead Park Cemetery name change A CEMETERY remembering those who lost their lives in the February 22, 2011 earthquake could be one step closer to having its name changed. The city council is seeking feedback on whether the Avonhead Park Cemetery should be renamed the Avonhead Memorial Cemetery. It has gone out for consultation following a request from the Friends of Avonhead Cemetery for the name change and this is supported by the Quake Families Trust. The cemetery was developed in the late 1970s as a lawn cemetery without visible grave markers to give the cemetery a park-like appearance. Following the February 22 2011 earthquake, the city council designed an interment site for victims at Avonhead Park Cemetery. Feedback can be made to the city council until January 22.
