Sport in brief
Rain hits test Heavy rain washed out play, yesterday for the third day running in the first cricket test between West Indies and India, leaving the pitch at Bourda waterlogged. There was unlikely to be any more play in the match, which with one day remaining looked certain to end in a draw. Scores: West Indies 437, India 86 for one. —NZPA-Reuter Otautahi names coach One of the foundation members of the Otautahi Rugby Football Club, Noel Huata, will coach the club’s first senior team in this season’s competition. Otautahi will'mark its debut with a match against Suburbs at Hoon Hay Park tomorrow. Mr Huata coached the under 18 team last season and has had many years of experience as a coach, according to the club's president, Robbie Curtis. Mr Curtis said yesterday that Mr Huata has been a principal figure in the club since its inception, although he had a break of three to‘four seasons from coaching when he was deeply involved in the establishment of the club’s headquarters. Kiwi boat wins The New Zealand sloop Cotton Blossom on Wednesday sailed through heavy tropical rain and south-east winds to take line honours in the 307 nautical mile Gladstone to Hamilton Island yacht race. The impressive Kiwi sloop dominated the race, but she was well short of the record established two years ago by the New Zealand maxi Castaway Enterprise. Conditions were poor in the final 40 nautical miles and navigators were anxiously plotting their course through unlit islands and submerged reefs.—PA. Billiards to Aust.
