League team snowed in
Ironically, for the weather in Greymouth was brilliantly fine, the Canterbury rugby league team was snowed in after its match at Wingham Park last night. Severe frosts on the Lewis Pass highway prevented the side from returning to i
Christchurch by bus after its 15-20 loss to West Coast. Quite a few Canterbury supporters — some of whom had taken seven hours to reach Greymouth after having been turned back at Porter’s Pass and directed through Lewis Pass — also ihad to stay overnight.
