CANOEING Richard Boyle, with consistently fine paddling, led a strong field of Kayakers to finish first over all in the Matthews Challenge Cup race held in Lyttelton harbour on Monday. Boyle was closely pressed by his club mates, Richard Phillips and Alan Roxburgh, who were second and third, respectively. Roxburgh's challenge for the over-all title brought him a well deserved win in the down river racer section and a drubbing for the second and third placegetters, Richard Wyatt and Don Hurley. The two veteran sections were won by experienced paddlers. Peter Sullivan in the cruising section put in a very strong paddle to win from Bruce Bunny and Andrew Carson. The ski section winner, Eric Leask, headed home his brother Brett after taking the lead around Quail Island. Jo Wyatt again showed her depth of experience to handle the trying conditions, taking first place in the women’s section from Jo Stevens, who pursued her throughout the race to lose by 11 sec. Stevens, however, was awarded the Matthews Cup. The race was over an Bkm course from Corsair Bay around Quail Island and return. A moderate south-westerly wind and some choppy water conditions

resulted in three early withdrawals and gave the contestants a trying and testing race. Men.— Down rivers racers: A. Roxburgh, 37min 20s, 1; R.Wyatt, 40:14, 2; D. Hurley, 40:14.5, 3. Ski: R.

FENCING David Metcalfe, aged 23, proved to be the star of Canterbury’s performance at the New Zealand fencing championships, held at the Caledonian Hall, in Dunedin last week-end. Metcalf was second in the sabre, third in the epee, and fourth in the foil. He was also in the winning sabre and epee teams, and won the bout which decided the champion province of the tournament. Two other Cantabrians won golds at the championships. Chris Nokes won the .veteran’s epee, and Diane Swain won the women’s veteran epee.

Robert Bain justified his inclusion in the Canterbury team by making all three, six-person finals for each weapon. Abbreviations: Auckland, A; Canterbury, C; Otago/Southland OS; Wellington W; Australia, Aust.

tions, 42 people turned out for the Canterbury Time Trial Association’s fourth 16km event this season.

Many track riders are now turning up for the time trials, in an attempt to gain strength and speed for the early national championships this year. Stuart Lowe, who started early on Tuesday evening, recorded 22min 575, to take the lead for the evening. That was before Jason Smith, one of the last starters, came home in 22min 495. Katrina Stewart was easily the fastest woman rider with 26.51. Justin O’Sullivan was the fastest junior with 25.34, and Geoff Inwood was the fastest of the veteran riders with 25.07.

court tennis championship at Wilding Park last week-end. Finals were shortened and consolation plates were aborted as officials struggled to fit the full schedule into a shorter time span.
