The visitors landed an early penalty to first five Matt Robbins before Timaru Boys’ went on the attack. A poor pass and a poor option cost Timaru Boys’ two chances of crossing the line. However, they backed themselves by turning down two handy penalties in favour of line outs and the second time it paid a big dividend. The pack went close to scoring after hammering Christchurch Boys’ line but when the ball was spread wide fullback Max Aitken ran hard into a gap and scored an excellent try. First five Taine Cordell-Hull landed an excellent conversion for a four point lead.

The Rotary Club of Whakatu donated 16 Chromebook computers to Bronte House at Nelson College for Girls in this 2018 video. The programme has now moved onto the school grounds and has ministry funding. Lenart said selling the building with no plan for the proceeds was a “betrayal of the spirit of the gift”, and the house – classified as an educational building – could still be put to good use by the community. Trust chair person Graeme Thomas would not confirm whether the prospective buyer intended to use the building for residential or other purposes. Further details would be released once a settlement had been reached, he said.
