School cycling
Canterbury secondary school cycling teams maintained the province’s reputation in the national 16km team tim e trial championship at. Levin on Saturday. Though Shirley Boys* High School, with a new’ team, was unable to retain the Sir Bernard Fergusson Cup—which it has held since 1973 —Burnside High Schoo] and Ashburton College were second and third respectively. Burnside did a time of 24min 17sec. lOsec slower than Auckland Grammar. Ashburton was only another 2sec slower while Shirley, for which nothing went right, was seventh in 26min 16 sec. Shirley lost Nick Purcell early, then Tony Fuller crashed, and the variety of mishaps probably cost it 2min.
