Last week Springlands School took on holders Witherlea for the Primary Schools Challenge Cup. In an entertaining game, it was Springlands who came out as winners on the day in front of a good crowd of parents and supporters. The competition is for Year 6 and below and we encourage schools to consider a challenge during term 1. The Marlborough Rep side scored an emphatic outright win over Buller last weekend to get their Hawke Cup campaign right back on track. Will Smith had another 5 wicket bag including a hat-trick which ripped the heart out of Buller’s 1st innings of 112 (Sam Boyce 4-17).
IN 2011 Ed Caesar read a paragraph about a Yorkshireman who, in the 1930s, decided to mount an ambitious expedition to climb Mount Everest. The man planned to fly a plane from London to the lower slopes of the mountain and walk the rest of the way to the summit - despite having no flying or mountaineering experience. When news of his outlandish scheme became public he was forbidden from carrying it out, but defied authority and embarked on a mammoth trek, flying thousands of miles, walking hundreds more - in disguise to evade arrest - and tackling the inhospitable terrain of the world’s highest peak.
