SIDELINES

THERE WAS an auspicious start to their new sport, - rugby league, by a team of Kaiapoi 16-year-olds, on ■' Saturday. Bedecked in the Canterbury league’s red jerseys, the lads played their first game in the 17-years ■grade after being refused rugby in their appropriate grade. They knocked on from the kick-off, won the first ' scrum (and won most of the others with their lowpacking, rugby-style scrum); scored the first points when Doug McKay kicked a 30m penalty; and suffered the first injury: Phillip Reeves had a bruised shoulder from tackling too high. They lost to a pretty powerful . side, Papanui B, 2-38, but decided it was better playing their own age-group and Norm Geddes, Papanui’s coach, reckoned the Kaiapoi boys will win more matches than they lose in their new sport. RAY HARPER, the New Zealand Rugby Union councillor . from Invercargill who is managing the All Blacks on their Australian tour, was no mean footballer himself 30 or so years ago. As a stockily built midfield back, his determination on attack was hindered by a lack of . real pace, but he was renowned for his shuddering tackles. He made 44 appearance for Southland between 1948 and 1954 and was also a South Island reserve. ‘SUE STEEL, who not so long ago graced a desk at “The Press,” has been elevated in her job at the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association. Formerly entitled “administrative assistant,” she is now the assistant 'general secretary. Since joining the association’s full ’time.staff seven months ago, effectively as replacement to the office manager, Phillip Wild, Sue has seen the departure of one general secretary, Roger Forster, and ■the arrival of another, John Keys. She has a duty to all 'four, disciplines under the association’s umbrella, but with particular reference to looking after the affairs, of the water polo board. THE CANTERBURY rugby league team accomplished a "rare aichievemerit when it beat West Coast, 16-0, at Greymouth bn Monday. No other Canterbury -side -— ■ since the Second World War, at least — has held the ■ Coasters" scoreless at Wingham Park. The other three ; occasions that. West Coast failed to '.score against Canterbury were all in Christchurch, once in 1951 and twice in 1957. REGARDLESS of what other golfing triumphs might be in store this year for Simon he will remember 1980 fondly. Within a few months he won the Christchurch club’s senior championship, captured his first Canterbury’ amateur title and then led the 64 qualifiers in the New Zealand amateur championship. For being the top qualifier, Robinson, a young Kirwee farmer, won the St Andrew’s Salver. GEOFF HOWARTH, the New Zealand cricket captain, ‘and any of his team-mates who like to bring a little colour into the playing garb will not be able to ,do so -during the tour of Australia next summer. The New Zealand Cricket Council Board of Control decided at ’its meeting in Christchurch recently that only helmets that are all white will be alright.
