Fluid Kaiapoi side in convincing win<br />
By LINDSAY KERR and<br />
PETER WILLIAMS<br />
Kaiapoi maintainedits season’s<br />
momentumwith another<br />
convincing 4410win overa<br />
plucky Ashley side in the latest<br />
round of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
premier rugby.<br />
Both teams had apositive<br />
mindset and afluent,freeflowing<br />
match ensued.<br />
Kaiapoi was dominant in all<br />
aspectsexcept goalkicking.<br />
Despite trying acouple of goalkickers,<br />
it was not untilthe side<br />
scored its seventhtry thatone<br />
was converted.<br />
Ashley,onthe other hand,<br />
courtesyofKorbyn Gray, kicked<br />
an early penalty andconverted<br />
the only try Ashleyscored.<br />
Kaiapoi’s backs again looked<br />
dangerous as aunit. They were<br />
wellserved by Codey Grimes at<br />
halfback, whileDante Love and<br />
Rob Samson both continued<br />
their rich vein of form and Shak<br />
Bassi on the wing madethe most<br />
of arare starting opportunity.<br />
The Kaiapoi backs are getting<br />
their chancesbecause the<br />
forwards are providingthem<br />
witharegular supplyofquality<br />
ball. The tight fiveall played<br />
their part, with Nacanieli<br />
Namata in particularquite<br />
outstanding.<br />
Anotherfeature of the team’s<br />
playisthat its players are<br />
constantlymakingthemselves<br />
available in support of the ball<br />
carrier,enabling acontinuity<br />
of play to be achieved. Jarrod<br />
Smith was arguablybestinthis<br />
respect.<br />
RUGBY<br />
For Ashley, Reuben King stood<br />
out for his wholeheartedeffort,<br />
while NaariaWilsonBairds and<br />

Credit to Ohoka<br />
Ohoka travelled deepinto<br />
GlenmarkCheviotterritoryand<br />
emerged with considerable<br />
creditafter sending ashockwave<br />
through the campofits more<br />
fancied rivals camp, holdingthe<br />
side to a17alldraw.<br />
However, despite its spirited<br />
effortagainst the defending<br />
champions, Ohoka still finds<br />
itselfinadifficult position on the<br />
competition tablewith only three<br />
weekendsofroundrobin<br />
competitionremaining.<br />
This was aclashinwhich<br />
Glenmark gained mostofthe ball<br />
and territory, but struggled to<br />
finishmany promising<br />
movements.<br />
Ohoka produced achampion<br />
effortondefenceand made the<br />
most of its scoringchances.<br />
The sides were locked 10all at<br />
halftime and, nearing fulltime,<br />
it was 17all. Then,along range<br />

Comeback win<br />
Oxford camefrom 1321 behind<br />
to beat Hurunui 3027 in ahardfought<br />
but disruptive game at<br />
Culverden.<br />
Hurunui’s momentum was not<br />
helpedwhen it lost centre<br />
HunterJohnsonwith a<br />
dislocated hip. He was not moved<br />
and was taken to hospitalby<br />
rescuehelicopter.<br />
While Hurunuilooked the<br />
betterside in the opening<br />
exchanges, Oxfordwas amore<br />
committedunit in the second<br />
spell,scoring three tries in that<br />
time.<br />
With time beckoning, there was<br />
confusion in the Hurunui ranks.<br />
Its players thoughtthat apenalty<br />
had won the side the game, only<br />
to findthey were stillfour points<br />
behind.<br />
The accurate boot of Angus<br />
Mitchell and Dan Brooker, who<br />
scored two tries, headed the<br />
Oxford comeback.Inhis first<br />
start, Tom Chamberlain had a<br />
useful gameatlock.<br />
Scorers: Oxford 30 (Matthew<br />
Roberts, Dan Brooker2,and<br />
LukeNabulagi tries;Angus<br />

penalties), Hurunui27(Sandford<br />
