NEWS North Canterbury News, May 13, 2021 3 Finest Turkish Leathers Amazing Selection SIDONA Red, Black Size L 36-41 Aday to remember ... An elated Kaiapoi team shows off the Deans Shield after being the first team to beat GlenmarkCheviot in nearly three years. PHOTO: PETER WILLIAMS Kaiapoi beats Glenmark-Cheviot GlenmarkCheviot’s golden run of rugby wins is over, after its senior side was undone by askilful and determined Kaiapoi outfit. It was June 2018 —nearly three years ago —when GlenmarkCheviot last tasted defeat in aclub match. But last Saturday it was convincingly outplayed by aKaiapoi squad that won by 2013 in the Luisetti Seeds Combined Senior Competition. In doing so, Kaiapoi lifted the coveted Deans Shield. GlenmarkCheviot now faces the possibility of failing to qualify for the championship round of the combined competition. All eyes will be on the side’s match against the unbeaten Saracens team, to be played at Cheviot this Saturday, as part of that club’s jubilee celebrations. The scrummaging effort by Kaiapoi and its depth of frontrow stocks proved abig factor in its win. GlenmarkCheviot lost two of its front rowers, and it was from that point that Kaiapoi took control at scrum time. Spectators witnessed the rare sight of the GlenmarkCheviot pack going backwards, at times being completely demolished. But GlenmarkCheviot showed enough resilience to twice draw level, and at no stage during the match did Kaiapoi’s lead extend beyond seven points. There was much relief among the Kaiapoi faithful, who attended in good numbers, when the final whistle blew.

Discussing the service at last week’s Waimakariri District Council meeting, several councillors said they were impressed with the service. Environment Canterbury figures indicate patronage from Rangiora has been particularly strong. ‘‘From personal experience, it’s going very well, and anecdotally it seems to be well used,’’ Mayor Dan Gordon said. He often uses the service to commute to meetings in the city. Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson echoed the mayor’s comments. ‘‘Personally, this seems to be working well. The mayor, myself and Cr Niki Mealings have used these services to get into Christchurch and we can see with the number of cars parked, and the bikes, that it is being used.’’ Environment Canterbury public transport general manager Stewart Gibbon says patronage on both the Rangiora and Kaiapoi services continues to increase. As at March 2021, patronage from Rangiora on the 91 city direct service was averaging 168 passengers a week, while Kaiapoi’s 92 service was averaging 76 a week. ‘‘It’s important to note that the Waimakariri direct services are new, only beginning in January of this year,’’ Mr Gibbon says. ‘‘The progressive increase in usage and engagement so far is encouraging but it is early days. ‘‘We will be continuing to monitor the service and engage with the community to support wider awareness and exposure to the service offering and benefits,’’ he says. 2095268 Kaiapoi Lodge Residential Care Nursing Home, Hospital and Respite Person Centred Care, Carethat’sbuilt around you 6Cass Street, Kaiapoi Ph 03 327 7235 Find it hard to get out of your chair?
