Christchurch’s Villa Maria College opened its defence campaign in the South Island secondary schools’ netball tournament with three crushing victories yesterday at Blenheim.

Villa, seeking a recordequalling fourth consecutive title, walloped Columba 58-14 in its opening section match before disposing of Menzies and Nelson in comprehensive fashion.

Rangi Ruru, who may pick to oppose Villa in Friday’s final, also went through yesterday’s games undefeated after its section was weakened by the withdrawal of Dunedin’s Logan Park.
