Ardern our next Prime Minister New Zealand First last night crowned Jacinda Ardern the next Prime Minister of New Zealand with its decision to back a Labourled Government, which will also require the Green Party to govern.

Ardern will claim the top job after only two and a-half months as Labour leader.

The decision will have come as a shock to National, which holds two more seats than the Labour-Green bloc and ends its hope of leading New Zealand for a fourth term.

The decision was announced at Parliament by New Zealand First leader Winston Peters around 7pm last night.

He said NZ First made the call just 15 minutes before the announcement.

Ardern will be New Zealand’s third woman Prime Minister, after Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark.

She will also be its second youngest ever Prime Minister, after Edward Stafford who was also aged 37 when he took office 161 years ago.

After the September 23 election, Labour’s 36.9 per cent and the Greens’ 6.3 per cent gave them 54 seats between them, not enough for a majority without New Zealand First.

The three parties have 63 seats. National polled 44.4 per cent and holds 56 seats, not enough for an outright majority.

The New Zealand First decision follows a week of parallel policy negotiations between New Zealand First and National and Labour. The party caucus and board started meeting on Monday morning to deliberate.

Ardern defied all the usual rules of politics to get there – she took over the leadership just seven weeks before an election in a desperate bid by Labour to restore its fortunes and it was relying on a support partner which was also in chaos in the Green Party. Even Ardern once commented she had a “hospital pass”.

She is New Zealand’s third female Prime

Minister – after National’s Jenny Shipley and Ardern’s own mentor, Helen Clark. It is also the first time the party without the highest share of the vote has formed the Government.

Ardern’s barnstorming campaign saw her pick up 352,000 more votes for Labour than the party had in 2014, going from 25 per cent in 2014 to 37 per cent this time round – and though she said she had hoped to do better, with the Green Party it was enough to nudge at National’s heels.

Ardern was something of a reluctant leader. She had previously said she never wanted the job, having seen first-hand the demands the leadership put on the lives of those who had held it both as a staffer for former Prime Minister Helen Clark and in her own time as an MP. She had encouraged Andrew Little to stay on in the role of leader after he went to her to say he did not believe he could deliver a good result for Labour. It took a week for her colleagues to persuade her to agree to take the leadership should Little stand down. Al-

Labour leader Jacinda Ardern, set to be New Zealand’s third woman Prime Minister.

The seat has a long tradition of being home In 2014, she stood on a ‘ticket’ as potento Labour leaders – it was Helen Clark’s electial deputy leader for Grant Robertson in his torate as well as Shearer’s, although Shearer unsuccessful bid for the vacant leadership never contested an election as leader. role following Labour’s disastrous 2014 reLike former Prime Minister John Key, Ardern’s relaxed style made her a master of ‘soft’ media such as women’s magazines and breakfast television and radio.

Ardern entered Parliament in 2008, aged 28, and was then the youngest MP in Parliament. She had just returned from London, where she had spent time working for British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Prior to that, a young Ardern had also worked as an adviser for the Labour Government in the offices of Phil Goff and Helen Clark.She has said her involvement with the Labour Party began when she worked as a teenager on the campaign of former Lasult under then leader David Cunliffe. Little bour MP Harry Duynhoven in 1999. won that contest.

She joined Labour aged 17. She grew up Ardern was beaten by National’s Nikki in a Mormon household but left the faith in Kaye in the Auckland Central electorate her 20s, mostly because of its anti-homotwice but when Shearer left early this year sexual stance.

■ FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Benefits noted, despite opposition

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Despite concerns raised with the Ministry of Education, primary schools with new flexible learning environments say they are making a “significant positive difference”.

In a report to the Ministry of Education last week, the Post Primary Teachers’ Association voiced concerns over flexible learning environments (FLEs) and their potentially harmful effects on children’s learning.

FLEs are open-plan classrooms, accommodating several classes and teachers at one time.

Usually they are able to extend outdoors, and provide shared access to resources including technology and multi-purpose furniture.

In Mid Canterbury, FLEs have been established at schools including Ashburton Borough School, St Joseph’s Catholic School, Rakaia School and Methven Primary.

Last week’s PTTA report questioned whether enough had been done to understand how such environments affect students – “in particular our Maori learners, our Pasifika learners, our learners with diverse learning needs, those who are noise sensitive or hearing impaired, easily distracted or simply introverted”.

But St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School principal Cath Blacklow said she thought flexible learning environments were better able to meet the needs of diverse learners, by enhancing the quality of teaching and putting “learners at the centre of attention”.

“What the research shows is that [students in FLEs] are better able to arrange into needs groups.”

The FLE at St Joseph’s accommodates around 55 to 60 Year 5-8 students, along with three teachers and a teacher aid.

Blacklow said the environments encouraged independence, and allowed students to select their most suitable learning style.

Methven Primary School’s modern learning environment.

“They might want to seek out support from other students, or work on their own.”

She said teachers were able to combine their different perspectives, work together and have discussions about meeting learning needs “that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to have”.

Although the selection of teachers must be done “very carefully,” she said the teamwork between teachers could make positive difference, and help cater to students with diverse learning needs.

“Some parents are a bit concerned about having all the children in one space … but it’s

about taking the time to talk with parents and help them understand the opportunities,” Blacklow said.

Two flexible learning environments also operate at Methven Primary School, and Principal Chris Murphy said they were a positive step away from “one size fits all model,” and a better fit for demands of future workplaces.

“The Victorian-industrial age classroom was created for certain jobs that involved routine, and repetition and compliance, but the 21st century requires a whole different skillset – with a much bigger focus on collabora-

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

tion, and flexibility.”

He said that the flexible learning space came with a “requirement to understand each child’s needs,” in turn provided benefits for children with additional needs.

“There are quiet spaces for them to work, and opportunities to work one-on-one.”

However, Murphy said Methven Primary School was still adapting and adjusting to the FLE and working to emphasise the “good aspects”.

He said the new system was an adjustment for teachers who had previously taught alone in single-cell classrooms, and were

now building relationships to work collaboratively.

The school was also working closely with parents to keep them informed, and talking to students about their experience.

“We’re not saying we’ve got it dead right – we’re on a journey.”

“But when it’s done right, it’s marvellous.”

Following the PTTA report, the Ministry of Education have also agreed that more research is needed into FLEs before pushing schools to adopt them.

The Ministry is currently awaiting results of a four-year investigation in conjunction with Melbourne University.

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Sports fields plans unveiled

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For just shy of $4.5 million the Ashburton District could have a cluster of new playing fields on land adjoining the EA Networks Centre.

Yesterday a first draft master plan indicating what the 8.5 hectares of land to the west of the centre could become was presented to district councillors and staff, kickstarting what is likely to be a long round of community debate on the final shape the development will take.

The plan included four full size rugby fields and a softball diamond, all built around a central, two sided grandstand.

While it provided for just two sporting codes, it was only a starting point, said presenter Opus landscape architect Jack Earl.

“We’ve done the grunt work to understand the site and if other users see the vision and understand what council is thinking about this hub then we can move spaces around,” he said.

The main rugby field is north facing, and would have a sand and soil base and the surrounding bank could be utilised for embankment seating. The remaining fields would be soil based.

The possibility of a second softball diamond had been considered because that could equip Ashburton to hold national tournaments, Earl said.

The development would have an embankment around the perimeter

that could include a walking and running track, and the whole complex would be much wider than sports fields. It could also be linked to the riverside walking and mountain bike track.

A central grandstand was proposed (but not costed) and this would provide seating on two sides, overlooking the main rugby field and the softball diamond.

Access to the greenfields would be from Alford Forest Road via a property recently bought by the council.

Earlier work had been carried out to test soil and to assess whether the land would be suitable as a playing surface.

While there was an area that was tagged as contaminated by traces of asbestos, this could be scraped and cleared. There would be no consenting issues and with some rock removal the land could be grassed.

Considerable work has also been carried out by Opus staff on groundwork requirements and on dealing with stormwater.

The master plan came with costings that indicated the project could be completed for $4.3 million.

Mayor Donna Favel questioned why many of the sports that had been part of an earlier concept plan were not part of the master plan. These included a bowling green, hockey turf, velodrome and cricket grounds.

She suggested user groups could become cost share partners in the devel-

opment of the area.

Other councillors also wanted to know if all sporting codes had been asked if they would consider moving their playing grounds to the stadium’s greenfields.

When a development plan was done for the Ashburton Domain, cricket and hockey both indicated they were happy where they were, said open spaces manager David Askin.

Councillor Neil Brown said he was aware that the hockey association was considering relocating when its turf came up for renewal in about eight years. He suggested Mid Canterbury cricket was also interested in a relocation.

The council had to start somewhere with planning for the future development of this land councillor Stuart Wilson said and this master plan was a good starting point.

‘We have the land and we’re building a 10 year plan. There’s nothing definite about the playing fields, it’s an idea.

We have to decide whether we build it in year three or year five. It’s to give us an idea, it’s a starting point and it’s up to the council to decide the how, the when and the where; this is just the tip of the iceberg today.”

The plan’s release was well timed as it coincided with the current Our Place survey that asked residents to list the things they wanted to see developed in the district over the next 10 years, he said.

Complementary to stadium extensions Plans to develop playing fields around the EA Networks Centre still allow plenty of space for extensions to the stadium itself, says its manager Steve Prescott.

The greenfields space is to the west of the stadium and the unsealed overflow parking area lies between land earmarked for the development’s car parking and the stadium itself. And it is on that land that any additional developments such as an ice rink, an additional pool or a hydroslide would be built, Prescott said.

If any of those occurred, stadium users would then have access to the 230 parking spaces that adjoined the new playing fields.

In addition there was sufficient space to the east of the stadium to accommodate a planned extension to the covered court area and possibly for a velodrome.

The additional covered court space was allowed for in the original design, and space for a velodrome had been tagged at a high level planning stage.

Additions to the stadium are likely to be in the mix as part of the council’s long term plan discussions and Prescott said he’ll be putting the case for several options including a climbing wall, ice rink and additional pool areas because learn to swim lessons were now at capacity.

He believes a case will be made for the covered court extension by several user groups.

Community pitching for i-SITE to reopen

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Community anger might be mounting over the closure of Ashburton’s i-SITE, but mayor Donna Favel is not convinced the decision should be reversed.

She did, however, say that any decision by council could be changed if new information came to hand.

The decision to close the i-SITE came on the back of a council initiated review of Experience Mid Canterbury’s (EMC) performance by consultant Peter Winder.

In his review, Winder suggested EMC direct its funds into areas where it would make greater gains and that would mean closing both i-SITEs in Methven and Ashburton.

The organisation’s board acted on that recommendation in part and began the closure process for Ashburton in August.

Favel had questioned the value of i-SITES in the past and often had the support of some of her councillors in asking whether they still had relevance in an era when most people used the internet for information.

Since the Ashburton site closed, Favel said she had spoken with EMC to see whether there had been people knocking on the door, looking for information. The answer had been no, she said.

Just prior to the final closure decision, a petition was presented to the council by Karen McIntyre asking the council to change its mind. That petition was accepted by council and will be the subject of a report to the council meeting on October 26, Favel said.

Over the past week there have been letters to the Guardian editor and on-going Facebook criticism of the decision to close the Ashburton i-SITE. Favel has always made it clear that the while the council funded EMC, the decision on how that money was spent was up to the board.

And while she was not prepared to say whether or not the council would over-ride the EMC board’s closure decision, she did say any council decision could be changed if new information meant there was a sufficiently compelling reason to do so.

Activities aplenty at Country Life Day

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Gumboot hurling, sheep shearing and animal outfits – yesterday certainly wasn’t a regular school day for students at Ashburton Christian School.

Years 1-10 students swapped the classroom for the sunshine to celebrate the school’s annual Country Life Day. Middle school lead teacher Mike Hill said the Year 9 and 10 students had worked hard to organise a range of activities for the junior students – from obstacle courses to races and gumboot throwing games.

Each class had also worked on a different creative project, and put their works on display for other classes to see ahead of a judging ceremony in the afternoon. Room 5 had crafted creative floral displays and room 4 had whipped up sweet treats.

“Country Life Day is a bit different, and they all seem to enjoy it,” said primary school lead teacher Margaret Butler.

It is the second year the school have held a Country Life Day on their grounds, and the day also featured two sheep being shorn, and a pet parade.

Genge loses bid

Passing on paper mâché techniques Old Guardian newspapers are finding new life as trays, leaves and other creations at the Ashburton Art Gallery.

The gallery’s newest series of adult workshops are proving a hit, with keen creators delving into the art of paper

mâché under the guidance of local artist Barbara Jaine.

Ashburton Art Gallery public programmes co-ordinator Simone Barnsdale said the course participants were in week three of the four-week process, with many delivering their own

creative twists on the work.

“Some people even take their pieces home and add a bit more in between classes,” she said.

Jaine was teaching participants how to build, reinforce, decorate, embellish and finish their creations.

Convicted rapist and murderer Richard Lyall Genge has lost his latest bid to appeal against his conviction, more than 20 years later.

Genge was jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 15 years after the brutal September 1994 fatal attack on 22-year-old Christchurch woman Anne Maree Ellens in the grounds of Christchurch East primary school.

While she was heavily intoxicated, Genge and co-accused Samuel Kirner and Michael October took her into the school before raping her and savagely beating her to death. Her semi-naked body was found on the school steps the next morning.

The three men were jailed in October 1995.

Genge filed appeals shortly after his conviction but they were abandoned before any hearings.

The killer, described in the past as being “evil”, has lost subsequent appeals that he was locked up unlawfully.

Now, the Court of Appeal has rejected

his latest attempt. Genge, now 43, had applied for orders setting aside the notice of abandonment and granting him leave to pursue the appeals earlier abandoned.

He also sought leave to bring appeals out of time in relation to the murder conviction and rape sentence.

Genge claimed that his decision to withdraw the appeals were affected by a wrongful process employed at the time by the Court of Appeal in dealing with criminal appeals reliant on legal aid – a process later described by the Privy Council in R v Taito as “a fundamentally flawed and unlawful system”.

But in a decision released yesterday, the Court of Appeal has rejected his case.

“The delay in bringing the appeal is extreme, Mr Genge has no explanation for it, and he has not identified a viable ground of appeal,” the judgment concludes.

Genge remains a serving prisoner. He is eligible for parole but has been declined in the past.

Hanging on Winnie’s decision Matt Markham

EDITOR

Y

esterday was one of those weird days in the world of news – a day where no one seemed to know what was going on, but plenty were keen to speculate.

Every movement, every sound from within the main base in Wellington was being watched or listened to.

Predictions were drawn from every quote with the fine-toothed comb. Any morsel of information was gobbled up like a pack seagulls lunching on the last hot chip left on the ground.

It’s not something we are akin to here in New Zealand though.

And I think the enormity of what was unfolding and what people were seeing as they sat glued to their television screens, computers, laptops or mobile devices was quite shocking for many.

Media scrums and such constant presence is a rarity here.

You know something is big when more than six journalists are hovering about the place.

But it’s always interesting to watch how different organisations operate.

The Fairfax crew, in their usual bolstering manner tended to try and own the place. Although their coverage of what was going on at the Beehive was left in the dust by their closest rivals – the NZ Herald.

Their live updates were on point. Frequent and succinct while the same on Stuff seemed to be a lot of hearsay and guesswork.

Then there’s the television news lads and lasses. They also know how to throw their weight around.

If you’re ever near to a media scrum of any sort – it’s always worth keeping an eye on those cameras, one of them in the back of the head is a painful experience. I say that from experience.

All in all, if you wanted to know what was going on, you shouldn’t have struggled to find out yesterday.

Across all platforms of media and social media, the news and updates were readily available with key commentators chiming in with their views and opinions.

It underlined just how far we have come in a technological sense.

The internet rules the roost and you could almost guarantee that there would have been more people watching any form of announcement yesterday from a tablet or mobile device than there was sitting at home watching the same on television.

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Question of the Day: After close to a month of waiting, we are told that an announcement on who NZ First will join in coalition is expected today. What’s your prediction on the outcome?

Lyn Neither if he is there! Come on Green talk to National and blow Winnie’s ego sky high. We are being played by the smallest party with a leader that could not even win his own electorate seat.

Nuts! It’s right up there with Trump winning US President!

Alison He won’t make a decision today winston is milking this for all it’s worth

Melissa Love to say labour but i think national

Henry Would be good if both parties told him to get lost and labour national joined up together

Lin Winnie will continue to hold the country to ransom for as long as he feels like! Should export him.

Shannae Hopefully labour. So over national with their false promises.

Shirley I think National Winston won’t want to have woman telling what to do!

Karen Both sides are empty promises.

Just a bunch of Muppets left right and center!

Nathan Hopefully National.

Craig Time we got got rid of mmp

Matt Hope the announcement is that there will be a decision next month

change gotta be Lab GREENS and AOTEAROA FIRST

Catherine Will be national as he’s more right wing Winnie I think

Krystal I fear labour is gunna get in. But it is winston so expect the unexpected

Is the Guardian Quiz better than Monopoly?

I

love Saturday mornings. Not just because I don’t have to get out of the scratcher at 4am.

We have been taking Miss Maddy for swimming lessons, we take it in turn to get in the pool with her, while the other slightly anxiously watches.

It is kind of scary watching your 10 month old baby go under the water for 5 seconds at a time, until she pops up with a big grin on her face.

Straight after swimming we head to the in-laws’ place, where pretty much all the Hall family congregate to have a catch-up.

We all help Robin to eat healthy by consuming all the biscuits they have in the pantry, washed down with a couple of cups of floor sweepings (Robin’s cheap coffee, which is also very handy for fixing cracks in hot mix).

It is a good social catch-up but it does have its serious moments, like when we knuckle down and tackle the daily Guardian Quizzes from the week that’s been.

Each week there is normally one of us who manages to get an

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

eight out of eight from one of the quizzes.

When it’s one of the blokes they (and maybe me) raise their arms in triumph, similar to John Walker winning gold in Montreal in ’76. Not that we’re competitive at all. It’s a good fun family challenge and is responsible for a lot less fights than Monopoly.

So before you and the family tackle this week’s quizzes, here’s a good warm up for you.

THE WORLD’S SHORTEST IQ TEST: This test developed by Princeton University, claims it only takes three questions to tell if you’re a genius. Good luck!

1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

2. If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

ANSWERS: 1. $0.05. Many guess 10 cents.

If that were the case, the bat would cost $1.20 — not $1.10.

Purchasing a 5 cent ball and a

bat priced at $1.05 (which is $1 more expensive than 5 cents) would total $1.10.

2. 5 minutes. Since the question reveals that it would take 5 minutes for 1 widget machine to make 1 widget, you can determine that it would take 5 minutes for 100 widget machines to make 100 widgets.

3. 47 days. Your gut might tell you it would take 24 days. But remember: Since the area of the lake covered in lily pads doubles every day, a patch that covers half the lake would fully cover it in just one day. Subtract one day from 48 days, and what do you get? 47 days.

For the record, I am not simulating John Walker after doing that. More like Meatloaf, Two out of three ain’t bad.

i-SITE closure At last the residents of our town are waking up. It has taken two letters to the editor from Tony Todd but yesterday four other supportive letters appear.

I also agree closing the i-SITE is a huge mistake and although the decision was made by Experience Mid Canterbury and not the Ashburton District Council I think it is high time the mayor and councillors expressed their views.

From experience during our travels a well-run i-SITE (as ours was) is of much more benefit to the local community than the CEO of the local promotional body flitting off to Oz four weeks in a row (if that information is correct) to talk to the locals who are probably coming to New Zealand anyway and will likely remember Ashburton as the place with the tall town clock.

Mind you the $100,000 saved by

closing the i-SITE will cover a large number of overseas trips for Bruce Moffat.

Come on people. Write a letter.

Phone a councillor. Make your views known. We are a lethargic lot.

Mayor Donna you are a lovely person. Very good at speaking at public fund-raising functions but it is now time to stand up and lead this community.

Terry Molloy * * * * Well done Tony Todd, your comments are what many have been wanting to say for a while.

Fred and Pip

Lack of response I thoroughly enjoyed your address at our Probus Club earlier this week.

I have noted with interest, Tony Todd’s battle to receive comment and feedback on the i-SITE issue.

Our current council, as well as past councils have a sorry history of responding to members of the public in respect of contentious issues.

Back in late July/early August I had an ‘opinion’ letter published in the Courier and I understand

the letter was forwarded to the Ashburton District Council for comment. No response has been forthcoming.

Recently (Monday, October 9) I forwarded to each and every councillor, via their council e-mail addresses, a letter voicing my concern at the lack of interest by their paid staff in addressing a noncompliance relating to their stock water intake at Cracroft since 2006.

Since I e-mailed my letters, I have not received so much as an acknowledgement from any councillor. They have obviously closed ranks!

A copy of my letter to councillors was also forwarded to the CEO Andrew Dalziel via the info@adc. co.nz address. No response has been received to date.

While I accept councillors and paid staff perhaps need time to respond to any correspondence so they can do their homework, before replying to a letter, what has happened to the common courtesy of acknowledgement?

Obviously even our relatively new councillors lack the fortitude and independence to respond with a simple ‘emailed letter received’ response.

Election time for Japan Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s scandal-plagued Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is expected to score a victory in general elections on Sunday, after Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike drove a wedge into the main opposition party.

The ruling LDP and its junior coalition partner Komeito are expected to capture more than 300 seats in the powerful lower house, according to a Kyodo News poll, as they take advantage of disarray in the opposition camp.

Koike’s newly-formed Party of Hope is likely to win around 60 seats while another new party, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), may take 30 seats or more, the survey showed.

The survey also showed, however, that 54 per cent of those polled have yet to decide who to vote for in the elections, especially after main opposition Democratic Party (DP) leader Seiji Maehara effectively disbanded his party, bringing political confusion.

Even though the LDP is ex-

Japanese Prime Minister and leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party Shinzo Abe waves to the crowd, during his party’s election campaign.

PHOTO AP pected to win the race, major polls showed Abe’s cabinet has struggled to regain popularity after scandals over suspected cronyism, involving his wife, Akie, and Kotaro Kake, his close friend.

The approval rating for the premier’s cabinet has dropped to 37 per cent in October from 50 per cent in the previous month, while the disapproval rating climbed to 48 per cent from 42 per cent, an opinion

poll by the Nikkei business daily and TV Tokyo showed.

Abe came to power in December 2012, vowing to reinvigorate the world’s third-largest economy. But critics argued his government has failed to do so, with consumer spending weak and workers’ wages stagnant.

In late September, the premier decided to dissolve the House of Representatives for a snap election despite criticism the move could create a political vacuum amid the North Korean nuclear crisis.

Abe said he would seek a fresh mandate for his tough stance against North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.

Abe soon became worried following his decision to call the snap election, as Koike had momentum, with main opposition Democratic Party lawmakers expected to join her party in order to defeat the LDP. Koike’s decision not to stand in the race herself has not helped a perception that her party is running out of steam.

Beyonce is back!

She’s been more on the DL side of things since welcoming her twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, in June but – make no mistake – Beyoncé is back. The singer made her very first red carpet appearance posttwins at Tidal’s hurricane relief benefit concert in Brooklyn this week, and to say the very least, she was a total knockout. Wearing an emerald green Walter Mendez dress with some strategically placed cut-out details, which looked like it was poured over her body in liquidform, Bey accessorised with one of the Itbags of the season, the Alexander Wang and Judith Leiber bankroll clutch.

■ CHINA

Xi urges stand against ‘grim’ challenges Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged a reinvigorated Communist Party to take a stronger role in society and economic development to better address the nation’s “grim” challenges as he opened a twice-a-decade national congress.

Speaking in the massive Great Hall of the People near Tiananmen Square, Xi laid out his vision of a ruling party that serves as the vanguard for everything from defending national security to providing moral guidance to ordinary Chinese.

He struck a nationalistic line throughout his speech, calling for the party not only to safeguard China’s sovereignty but also to revitalise Chinese culture, oppose “erroneous” ideology and promote religion that is “Chinese in orientation”.

“The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is no walk in the park or mere drumbeating and gong-clanging.

The whole party must be prepared to make ever more difficult and harder efforts,” Xi told hundreds of delegates.

“To achieve great dreams there must be a great struggle.”

Hailing the start of a “new era”, Xi outlined a vision in which the party would lead China on the road to becoming a “great modern socialist country” by mid- century.

Xi wields undisputed power and is expected to get a second five-year term as party leader at the gathering. Analysts say he has consolidated his power by sidelining his competitors in other intra-party cliques.

Xi, in his three-and-a-half-

hour address, said China’s “prospects are bright but the challenges are grim”, a rare acknowledgement of severe economic issues.

Among the grave issues Xi said were insufficiently addressed are a widening income gap and problems in employment, education, medical care and other areas.

He pledged to make high school universally available and promised to extend landuse contracts for farmers for another 30 years after expiration.

Agreement on EU citizens remaining in UK close

Rainfall breaks 64-year record

Prime Minister Theresa May has issued a direct message to three million EU citizens living in Britain, promising she will make it as easy as possible for them to stay after Brexit.

In an open letter posted on her Facebook page and mailed to 100,000 EU nationals, May said the government and Brussels are “in touching distance” of a deal on citizens’ rights and promised to involve EU expats in the design of a “streamlined” digital process for registering to remain.

And she repeated her message that “EU citizens living lawfully in the UK today will be able to stay”.

The offer comes as May prepares for disappointment at a European Council summit where leaders of the remaining 27 EU member states will agree that it is too early to begin formal negotiations on a future trade relationship.

Addressing the 27 leaders over dinner in Brussels, the PM will urge them at least to begin preparatory talks among themselves about the transition to a future relationship.

May received a boost as Council president Donald Tusk declared he will recommend that the EU27 begin “internal preparations for talks on the transition and the future rela-

tionship” which could begin as early as the next scheduled summit in December.

But Tusk warned that progress in December would require “more concrete proposals from the British side”, in comments reflecting pressure from Brussels for further UK concessions on a so-called “divorce bill” which could reach 60 billion euros.

May’s official spokesman indicated that she will urge the EU27 to concentrate on the future opportunities for co-operation, rather than the details of unstitching Britain’s 44-year membership.

A deluge that hit central Queensland has broken a 64-year record for Bundaberg, with the city receiving seven times its October rain average well before the month’s end.

A Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said Bundaberg had received 519mm of rain already this month, well in excess of the previous record of 280mm set in 1953.

Areas between Bundaberg and Gladstone have received staggering amounts of rainfall in just seven days with Westwood Range at 519mm and Miriam Vale 512mm.

Trains from Brisbane to Bundaberg were disrupted by the weather conditions.

Billy Joel to be a dad again The Piano Man is going to be singing lullabies again soon. Billy Joel is set to become a father for the third time at the age of 68. The singer revealed he and his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, 35, are expecting a child. The topic came up while he was discussing he and Alexis’ 2-year-old daughter, Della Rose. “This one is pretty good. She sleeps through the night,” he said. “I hope the next one will.” The Uptown Girl singer said the child is due next month. Billy has an older daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, 31, with ex-wife Christie Brinkley, as well. Billy and Alexis married in 2015 after six years of dating.

Larry King urged to divorce A new report claims that Larry and Shawn King’s marriage is not doing well.

According to their sources, the Larry King Now host’s family is urging him to end his “miserable” relationship. Shawn and Larry have been together for 20 years and share two children together, Chance, 18, and Cannon, 17. She is his seventh wife and he’s been married eight times (twice to the same woman). They had filed for divorce in 2010 and then reconciled. A source says they haven’t been happy in 10 years, despite a different public image.

Their source also says Shawn has cheated on her 83-year-old husband and does not treat him well.

Rents in Kaikoura have shot up 44 per cent.

Expectations were for a quarterly increase of 0.4 per cent, and an annualised increase of 1.8 per cent.

However, inflation came in above expectations with a 0.5 per cent increase for the quarter and a 1.9 per cent increase for the year.

The biggest driver of the stronger than expected reading was a sharp increase in the price of food, particularly vegetables.

Housing and household utilities also saw a strong rise for the year.

The latest Global Dairy Trade auction this week saw another decline in the headline index.

The GDT index fell 1.0 per cent, adding to the decline from the previous auction when prices fell 2.4 per cent. All but one product group saw declines at the auction with anhydrous milk fat the only product to see a rise. Key product group, whole milk powder, saw a 0.5 per cent price decline however remains narrowly above $3000 a tonne.

Fonterra’s farmgate milk payout forecast remains at $6.75 per kilo of milksolids, and this was last updated in September.

Of the institutions that provide milk price forecasts, one has downgraded their expectations on the back of this result, saying the payout is more likely to be between $6.25 and $6.50.

Party congress gets under way. It is expected that President Xi Jingping will be elected for second five year term and investors will be watching for clues on how the economy is progressing. Many analysts are hoping the president will embark on transformational reforms as well.

Also from China, third quarter GDP came in above expectations and saw the world’s second largest economy grow at 6.8 per cent for the year. This was slightly lower than the previous quarter, however, was above the government’s full year target of around 6.5 per cent.

Earlier in the week, the Consumer Price Index rose 1.6 per cent matching forecast while the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 6.9 per cent, smashing expectations. The PPI was driven higher by a year-long drive in construction spending that includes government led infrastructure.

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the 1987 share market crash. On October 19 1987, a number of events conspired and sent markets tumbling. Black Monday as it is now referred started in Hong Kong and triggered a worldwide share market crash, spreading to Black Tuesday in NZ and Australia.

The Dow Jones in the US fell more than 20 per cent in a single trading day.

The event sparked changes to regulations and new rules to prevent it from happening again.

New Zealand residential property rents rose 4.6 per cent in the past year but in one earthquake-hit area, they shot up 44 per cent.

Infometrics has released a report identifying trends in rental inflation.

“Nationwide rental inflation remained relatively steady, at 4.6 per cent per annum, in the September quarter.

“Although there are some pockets of rental strength around New Zealand, the average figure across the entire country is being kept down by subdued rental inflation in the Auckland metropolitan area.

Rents rose fastest in Kaikoura where Infometrics said they hit a 20year high, up 44 per cent in the year to July before easing back during the past two months.

“Last year’s earthquake also appears to have influenced Hurunui’s rental market, with rental growth in the district reaching a three-year high of 18 per cent per annum,” it said.

But rents fell in Christchurch, where Infometrics said that there

was an oversupply of housing.

Rents were down there 5.9 per cent in the past 12 months and 13 per cent in total since September 2014.

Otago rental inflation rose to a 12year high due to growth in Dunedin, Infometrics said.

The Central Otago and Queenstown-Lakes markets showed signs of slowing but were up 8.5 per cent and 8.4 per cent per annum.

Rental inflation in Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt was at nine-year highs.

But in the Auckland metropolitan area – which excludes Rodney and Franklin – rents were up only 3.3 per cent per annum, the report said.

“The sheer size of the rental market in Auckland means that its softening, along with some easing in Bay of Plenty, has been sufficient to offset the strength of rents in other parts of the country.

“Even with house price inflation having slowed in Auckland, the lack of rental growth has meant little improvement in yields to date.

“In fact, yields in the old Auckland City area have fallen to a new record low, as have yields nationally.”- NZME

he global quarterly reporting season has given investors plenty to cheer about this week, with positive results providing justification for current lofty valuations.

The gains have pushed US markets to record high closes this week with the Dow Jones Industrial Average past 23,000 points for the first time ever.

Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have hit record high closes during the week as well.

Expectations for the reporting season are for another quarter of earnings growth, although not to the same magnitude we have seen over the previous two.

It is still early days, and only a small percentage of companies have reported to date, however things are certainly on track for a solid reporting season. Of the companies that have reported so far, 77 per cent have reported earnings growth, with an average growth rate of more than 11 per cent.

Not to be outdone, the New Zealand index also hit all time highs this week, as investors continue to ignore the political furore, and focus on the more important things.

AGM season is well under way and investors will be watching for further colour around earnings expectations for the year.

During the August reporting season a number of companies refrained from giving quantitative forecasts, choosing instead to wait until their AGM’s which could include a quarter of business activity.

There has been a number of economic events during the week both here and abroad, with the highlight being the third quarter Consumer Price Index.

The legend that is Mustang

T

he new Ford Mustang’s power will blow you away.

Where you go with it is entirely up to you.

The Mustang GT’s 5.0L TiVCT engine has been expertly engineered to maximise power from every compression.

Boasting strong power and torque, Mustang GT’s engine roar and wide-eyed acceleration are the stuff of legends.

The EcoBoost™ model features the all-new twin-scroll turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost™ I-4 engine, giving you exhilarating performance with reduced fuel consumption.

Track apps

Proof that Mustang means performance.

The LCD productivity screen on the instrument cluster – accessible through the steering wheel controls – displays an accelerometer, acceleration timer and other performance metrics.

Electronic power assisted steering (EPAS)

sport and normal.

Selectable drive modes

Electronic Power Assisted Steering adjusts to provide you with greater control in a range of road and weather conditions, and even crosswinds and potholes.

And it only activates when needed, saving you fuel.

Best of all, you’re in control.

Choose between three power-assisted settings to adjust steering effort: comfort,

Selectable drive modes let you dial in the handling dynamics toyour liking.

The system adjusts its handling and response characteristics for enhanced control in changing conditions.

Toggle between “normal”, “snow/wet”, “sport”, and “track” to stay in control, wherever the drive takes you.

6-Speed automatic with paddle shifters

Mustang’s SelectShift gives you the thrill of using a manual transmission with the ease of an automatic.

Simply toggle the race car-inspired pad-

dle shifters on the steering wheel to shift gears up or down, for smooth and effortless gear changes without having to use a clutch.

Stopping power

Mustang’s advanced braking system gives you greater control if you have to brake quickly.

In an emergency, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) balances brake force between front and rear wheels, while the anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents wheels from locking.

Precise control

Electronic stability program (ESP) and traction control system (TCS) work to-

gether to understand changing road conditions and your responses, and give you optimal control when you need it most.

They reduce the chances of skidding, sliding sideways and over- and understeering in corners.

Rear view camera

Trouble with parallel parking or reversing into tight spaces? No problem. Ford’s rear view camera lets you see up to 10 metres behind you.

And the rear parking sensors beep to let you know how close you are to objects behind you.

The system even turns the music down, so you can hear the beep clearly.

Superlative pedigree T

he latest special edition to join the MINI UK line-up celebrates the brand’s rich heritage with a nod to one of the best known sporty classic Minis of all time, the classic 1275 GT. The new 1499 GT instantly recalls the entertaining drive, distinctive styling and super-low running costs of the 1969 original, which was one of the most affordable performance cars of its day.

The 1275 GT badging reflected the increased engine capacity over the standard 998cc Mini.

The all-new MINI 1499 GT treads a

similar path for 2017.

With 102hp on tap and 0-60mph in 10.1 seconds courtesy of its lively Twin Power Turbo three-cylinder engine, the 1499 GT is perfect for drivers seeking an entertaining drive and unique vehicle.

The 1499 GT will be built in a limited production run of just 1499 cars between November 2017 and February 2018, and is sure to be in high demand.

There will be a choice of two colours, Pepper White or Midnight Black.

In Midnight Black, the car gets distinctive gold 1499 GT side stripes.

Pepper White models feature the same distinctive graphics, but in black.

Additional exterior fea-

tures include the MINI John Cooper Works Sport Pack, featuring 17” Track Spoke alloy wheels in Black, dark tinted windows and white indicator lenses.

The styling pack includes distinctive John Cooper Works front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a split level spoiler and John Cooper Works door entry plates.

Interior features on the new model include John Cooper Works Sports seats in Dinamica and leather and JCW badges, a JCW steering wheel in perforated leather with Chilli Red stitching and multi-function controls, cruise control, a Visual Boost radio with MINI Connected smartphone compatibility and

Piano Black interior trim, along with Carbon Black interior details and an Anthracite headlining.

A sports suspension completes the MINI 1499 GT package, which also includes all of the standard equipment found on the MINI One Hatch.

This includes features such as independent rear suspension, a sixspeed manual gearbox with sports-car inspired rev matching technology, air conditioning and all-round disc brakes.

Record breaker

C

aterham has surpassed last year’s record-breaking sales achievement.

The news comes as Caterham celebrates the 60th anniversary of the very first Seven being unveiled at the Earls Court Motor Show.

With more than two months to go until the end of 2017, Caterham has already overtaken its record haul of over 600 orders set in 2016.

It’s the second year in a row that the iconic British sports car brand has reported its best sales year, a record that had previously not been beaten since 1996.

“This year is already another recordbreaking one for Caterham and our Seven and we’ve still got a few months to go,” said Graham Macdonald, Caterham’s Chief Executive Officer.

“For the Seven to reach 60 and to continue to be such a sales success is a huge achievement. So much of this is down to the legendary Colin Chapman and his engineering ethos which still represents the core essence of every Seven that is built today.

“We continue to prove that the Seven is a timeless classic and that Caterham is a loved and cherished British brand.”

Unlike many automotive greats, the Seven has remained the distinguishable sports car which engineering legend, Colin Chapman, created six decades ago.

Providing an unrivalled, visceral

driving experience, the Seven’s perfect balance between power, handling and performance is as desired on the roads around the world today, as it was back in the sixties, with evidence shown in the ever-increasing orders.

With such positive sales in 2017 the iconic British brand has taken time to toast a busy last 12 months building up to the landmark anniversary for its Seven model.

Caterham kicked off the celebrations at last year’s Goodwood Revival with the launch of a swinging sixties model, the Caterham Seven Sprint.

The limited edition Seven was a retro throwback with an array of stylish yet nostalgic design cues including a wooden-rimmed steering wheel and flared front wings. With just 60 Sprints destined for the UK and Europe the car rapidly sold out in seven days.

Caterham took time to honour some of its most iconic Sevens from the last 60 years too. As part of the celebrations, Caterham gathered some of Colin Chapman’s mightiest Sevens in a rare event, as some of the oldest models took to the tarmac.

The original Lotus Seven Series 1 reached a top speed of 78mph and feature a Ford 100E engine and aluminium bodywork. The Series 1 was the ideal, lightweight sports car when it was launched by Colin Chapman in 1957.

Monster reveals itself P

roviding a sneak peek at 2018, Ducati presents the first of five new models for the coming season: the Monster 821.

The iconic naked motorcycle from Borgo Panigale is presented in a updated version to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original model – launched at the Cologne Show back in October 1992.

The 821 inherits all the character and charm of the first Monster 900, the model that injected new life in the naked racers’ segment, by successfully combining high performance, agility and rider-friendliness.

The Monster 821 changes its shape by adopting the design and functional features introduced in the Monster 1200: a sleek, streamlined design with completely redesigned tank and tail end, inspired by the 1992 version.

A new racing silencer and headlight – both classic and contemporary, are also part of the new design.

For a clear, immediately readable view of all necessary information, on the mid-size Monster a colour TFT display is also making its debut – provided with selected gear and fuel indicators.

The Ducati Quick Shift up/ down and the Ducati Multimedia Systems are now available as accessories, to further

enhance the already excellent riding experience offered by the 821.

The Monster comes back in the historic Ducati Yellow colour that charmed so many Monster fans in the past. This colour, available for the 821 only, completes the Red and assertive Matte Black colour range.

The 109 HP and 9250 rpm of the liquidcooled twin-cylinder Testastretta offer riderfriendly thrills, thanks to its 8.8 kgm (86 Nm) torque at 7750 rpm, the 821 guarantees exciting performance, easy riding and unmatched fun.

The Monster 821 also features the Ducati Safety Pack, which comprises Bosch ABS and Ducati Traction Control, both of which have adjustable intervention levels. The Riding Modes ensures easy adjustment of ABS, DTC and Power Modes (controlling peak power and type of delivery), allowing the 821 to be transformed into three different motorcycles, each with a distinct personality.

Completing the impressive equipment of the Monster 821 are the Brembo brakes, with dual 320 mm discs and M4-32 monobloc radial callipers at the front. The suspension system includes 43 mm forks at the front and an adjustable shock absorber at the rear.

The extensive standard equipment, long maintenance intervals, and a rich catalogue of accessories make the 821 the perfect riding partner.

The new Monster 821 is just the first of the Ducati 2018 new range. The Ducati World Premiere, on Sunday, November 5, will unveil four more new models designed by the Italian manufacturers.

The mystery resolved

T

he mystery has been solved.

Now in case readers are mystified as to which mystery we refer – and let’s face it there have been a few lately – it’s not the political one currently gripping the nation.

At the time of writing that one remains unsolved, but you never know by the time of publication it may have been resolved as well.

No, our mystery was one mentioned in the writer’s last column.

In particular the writer was keen to identify the kind person who left some books on our doorstep.

A fortnight ago the writer described the books as interesting and the writer was not wrong, but maybe not totally right either.

The more the writer looks at the books the more interesting they become.

The mystery has been solved, the writer now knows who delivered the books and as well as being right to say they are interesting, the writer was also correct to say the person was obviously thoughtful.

And when his name is revealed those readers who know him will agree.

It was Steve Gielingh who left the books on our doorstep.

So there you have it mystery solved.

But wait, there’s more.

No they didn’t come with steak knives, but given what follows there is a bit of irony quoting that old adage.

You see Steve himself has solved a mystery of his own.

Years ago, while operating heavy machinery for Doug Hood and helping construct the Mount Hutt ski field access road, Steve had a 1955 Series One Landrover which he famously drove up the road.

That job is just one of many sometimes hair-raising roles Steve has been involved with, and the Landrover suited his lifestyle.

Ultimately it was sold, but a few years ago Steve went on the lookout for another Landrover.

Given his previous experience and the knowledge he had gained about the marque, it had to be another 1955 model.

Steve found what he was looking for on the West Coast, swapping a motorbike for a complete Landrover requiring restoration and a load of parts.

The Landrover has been restored – it goes well and looks great.

Over time Steve has managed to find authentic optional extras like a winch and he was also aware that in some instances examples of this model were configured as station wagons.

This body style is quite rare, but Steve was able to source the body parts needed, and his Landrover is now a station wagon.

Englishman James Taylor, an acknowledged authority on Rovers and Landrovers,

Bernard Egan MOTORING

who incidentally visited Ashburton during a Rover National Rally staged here, rates the Series One station wagons highly.

He says the construction principles developed for this model have remained at the heart of every short wheelbase Landrover station wagon ever since, with the Defender 90 Station Wagon being a linear descendant.

Research indicated that Steve’s Landrover was purchased new by Frank Wilding, and it has passed through several other hands prior to Steve’s purchase.

The Wilding family are renowned Angus breeders who have farmed Te Mania at Conway Flats south of Kaikoura over several generations.

The late Charles Upham VC, who also bought a new Series One Landrover of the same vintage, farmed the property which shares a boundary with Te Mania and Steve has a photograph of the two Landrovers side by side.

It’s a special and historic photo, but it’s also a bit puzzling, because there is a big difference between the numbers on the registration plates.

Steve wondered why.

Naturally Steve thought, as one would, that being the same model and coming to neighbouring farms the plates would be close.

Maybe for some reason they were registered at different places.

But just as he solved a mystery for the writer, Steve has now solved a puzzle for himself.

Steve’s investigation has shown that Frank Wilding’s parents took delivery of his, now Steve’s, Landrover at the factory in England and then embarked on a long overland trip back to New Zealand.

Quite an adventure anytime, but especially so back then.

Consequently even though the two Landrovers came of the assembly line quite close together, registration of Steve’s vehicle didn’t occur until after it had been driven to this country.

So that’s two mysteries solved, both involving the same person.

Recently Steve made contact with the original owner, who invited Steve to visit him at Te Mania and bring the Landrover on the day of their bull sale.

Now no bull, Steve has done lots of

Original owner Frank Wilding, with Liana and Steve Geilingh at Te Mania. some quite amazing things over the years, but one thing he had never before was attended a bull sale.

So along with daughter Lani and granddaughter Liana Steve set off on an expedition.

It’s a fair way and of course road conditions post-earthquake can be doubtful, so it was decided to trailer the Landrover.

It would be an understatement to say they had a great time and enjoyed the experience.

Steve says the sale was interesting and the steaks served at the after-sale barbecue were mouth-watering.

Steak knives hardly required!

The Landrover looked right at home at Te Mania, but there was little chance of Steve returning home without his pride and joy.

Of course meeting the original owner and members of his family and taking the Landrover back onto the property was nothing short of awesome for all concerned.

The family said they wouldn’t mind having the Landrover back, an offer Steve tactfully declined, but it’s fair to say it probably won’t be the last time they all meet.

Steve used his Hyundai Santa Fe as the tow vehicle on the trip to Te Mania and Lani was intrigued to notice that Frank Wilding has an identical vehicle, prompting her to suggest it is further proof her dad and the Landrover’s original owner definitely have good taste in vehicles!

■ ASHBURTON

Pitman rolling the dice Michael Pitman says he will be thrilled if Sensei can finish second to exciting Northland filly Prom Queen in Saturday’s Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton, but that’s not to say he’s resigned to defeat.

The Christchurch trainer will saddle both Sensei and Savvy Coup in the three-year-old feature for which TAB bookmakers have installed Prom Queen the $1.60 favourite.

But Pitman believes that if the Kenny and Lisa Rae and Krystal Williams-trained Prom Queen is off her game, then Dream Ahead colt Sensei could be the beneficiary.

“I wasn’t originally planning to run in this one, but he’s so well in himself and with the dry track and the way that field has shaped up, I thought it was worth putting him in,” said Pitman, who along with his training partner and son Matthew has 16 horses entered for Ashburton.

“We’re very happy with the horse and we don’t think there will be any problem with the 1400m on the way he won the other day.

“It wasn’t easy for him the way that race panned out but he’s just got something about him.

“I’d be chuffed if he could run second to Prom Queen. I really don’t think there will be any problem with her stepping up to 1400m, but if there is any chink on her armour he’ll be ready to pounce.

“I think the step up to 1400m will really suit him.”

Sensei’s fresh-up Rating 65 win over 1200m at Timaru last Friday was his second win from just seven starts and he has only once missed a placing.

Another factor giving Pitman

M9

In brief Cup week target Capable Riccarton sprinter Kinagat could provide trainers Michael and Matthew Pitman with a guide on which Cup week feature to tackle at Ashburton tomorrow. The Street Cry six-year-old will tackle the McCrea Painters & Decorators 1200m and his Riccarton feature assignment is likely to be determined by how he performs. “Kinagat is a better horse this preparation than he was last time,” Michael Pitman said. “He’s in the Stewards, but we’ve also nominated him for the Coupland’s and we could yet go that way. He’s a lot more settled this time in.” - NZME

Stakes homecoming Untamed Diamond will resume her New Zealand career for Richard Collett at Rotorua tomorrow. The Snitzel mare won three races for the Pukekohe Park trainer, who subsequently campaigned her in Sydney where she doubled her winning tally and was runner-up in the Listed Bright Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Doomben. Untamed Diamond hasn’t raced since her Queensland placing in May, but was second at the Ruakaka trials earlier this month ahead of the Gr.3 Sweynesse Stakes (1215m).

“She’ll go straight to the Stewards at Riccarton after this.”

- NZME

Debut winner ‘flying’ Sensei was purchased for $60,000 as a yearling, and is a half-brother to Rothesay.

PHOTO RACE IMAGES

great confidence is Sensei’s trackwork this preparation, which the prolific trainer regards as the best he has overseen.

“I’ve never had a horse run the sectionals in trackwork that he does. Not Coup Align, not Son Of Maher. He can really reel off quick sectionals,” Pitman said.

“Prom Queen will lead and he’s a better horse ridden off the pace and allowed to run home. I’d be shocked if Prom Queen didn’t see out the 1400m, but he’ll be competitive.”

A $60,000 yearling purchase, he is a half-brother to Gr.2 Queensland Guineas-winning Fastnet Rock stallion Rothesay.

Sensei’s grand-dam is the three-time Group One winner Canny Lass and he is closely related to Gr.1 Golden Slipper winner Canny Lad. “His sire won a July Cup and was rated the equal of Frankel as a three-year-old.

“His X-rays were clean, but nobody knew anything about the stallion in his first season so we

were able to get him cheap,” Pitman said.

Sensei is the $4.80 second favourite for the Barneswood Farm Stakes, while Savabeel filly Savvy Coup is a $35 outsider.

“The further she goes the better she’ll be,” Pitman said of Savvy Coup. “She featured several times for being knocked over in the stipes report in her first start back and she just didn’t handle a slow pace well the other day.

“But it’s a black-type race so we had to throw the dice.” - NZME

The time is just about right for Wait A Sec Timing was a key factor in the decision to back-up Wait A Sec in Sunday’s Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hastings.

The seven-year-old, who is on

Ashburton Guardian 23

target for next month’s Christchurch Casino NZ Cup (3200m), was successful in the Egmont Cup last weekend, his sixth win from his last eight appearances.

“The Livamol fits in well and then we won’t run him again before the Metropolitan on the first day at Riccarton and into the Cup,” said Grant Cullen, who

trains the Postponed gelding with Guy Lowry.

“He came through Hawera well and you wouldn’t have known he’d had a race.”

- NZME

Promising four-year-old Bevan Street is in fine fettle for his engagement at Tauranga today.

He will line up in the Asteron Life 1200m off the back of a debut win at Taupo where he beat the subsequent winner Kapoor. “He’s flying, he’s in great order,” said Stephen Marsh, who trains the Road To Rock four-year-old for his Singapore-based parents Bruce and Kay. - NZME

Lexus likely next-up Connections of the former Tony Pike-prepared Sin To Win are considering stakes options for the five-year-old. He was successful over 2400m at Caulfield on Wednesday and co-trainer David Hayes said they will now consider a start in the Lexus Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on Derby Day. The Zipping Classic (2400m) or the Listed Sandown Cup (3200m) a fortnight later are possible follow up races. “We’ll see how he pulls up as he’s an immature horse in his first preparation for us.”

In brief Thorn backs Wallabies Brad Thorn’s Bledisloe Cup allegiances have shifted, with the All Blacks great declaring his support for the Wallabies in tomorrow’s test at Suncorp. Thorn played 59 tests for New Zealand but also represented Australia in league in his storied career. His split loyalties have been further tested with his appointment as Reds coach. Thorn never knew what it was like to lose the Bledisloe, having started his test career in 2003 – the year New Zealand’s 15-year unbeaten streak began.

Gatland eyes Super job

Jarred Percival’s goalkicking has been a vital asset to the Hammers this season, and will continue to be as they square up to Poverty Bay in the Lochore Cup semi-final this weekend.

Retallick will be missed

Hammers’ points machine

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After falling in to the exact same position they were in this time last year, the Mid Canterbury Hammers will be hoping that they do not make the same mistakes again.

They are set to take on Poverty Bay at the Ashburton Showgrounds in the semi-final of the Lochore Cup tomorrow.

Last year they found themselves playing North Otago, in a clash between fifth and eighth on the Heartland Championship table, a game Mid Canterbury should have been winning.

Instead, they capitulated, and fell to a 24-36 defeat.

With the competition’s secondtop points scorer Jarred Percival

Warren Gatland is still eyeing a coaching job in Super Rugby despite continuing his attack on the New Zealand media for ruining the Lions tour earlier this year. Gatland claimed there was an orchestrated campaign to unsettle him and was especially unhappy at coverage of the Lions first clash against a Divisional XV featuring his son Bryn. The former All Blacks hooker and Waikato stalwart said he would like to find a Super Rugby job after he takes Wales to the 2019 World Cup in Japan, and any All Black aspirations would depend on how that turned out.

- NZME

on their side, the Hammers will be hoping to have learnt from last year’s errors.

“The intensity has really picked up, we don’t want to have what happened last year to happen again,” he said.

“We have taken in the lessons learnt and we are re-energised by the chance of making a final.”

Percival started the season at fullback, but illness to Jason Kjestrup saw the opportunity open up for him to move into first-five, something that has seen the Hammers improve greatly over recent weeks.

“With the style we are playing, I didn’t really mind being at fullback or first-five.

“I am just happy to be out there playing footy,” he said.

For anybody who watched the home game between Mid Canterbury and Wanganui, it would be hard to disagree that Percival was responsible for what could easily be the moment of the season.

The Hammers trailed Wanganui by two and were awarded a penalty in the final minute near the halfway line and into the wind, which was no issue for Percival, who has knocked over 25 conversions and 14 penalties this season.

“I wanted to have a nudge but (Eric) Duff wanted me to have a kick for touch, but I was pretty confident I could kick it over,” he said.

“To kick the winning penalty from halfway, into the wind is

probably a career highlight to be honest.

“I’ve always enjoyed the challenge (of goal-kicking) and have always loved going down to the park and giving it a go.”

This will be the second time the Hammers have played Poverty Bay this season, after opening the season against them, taking out a comfortable 34-5 victory.

However, Poverty Bay have improved, picking up important wins against the King Country, the West Coast and Thames Valley as they snuck in to eighth place on the ladder.

“We have talked about how they have improved but we have also got a lot better,” Percival said.

The All Blacks may be missing Brodie Retallick more than they would like to admit. As with any defection, losing Retallick has been embraced as another chance to grow deputies; in this case Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu, two quality players in their own right.

But what team wouldn’t miss the world’s premier lock? The influence of Retallick, 2014 world player of the year, cannot be overstated.

The All Blacks lost the sole test he missed last year, and he was again a force in the Lions series. - NMZE

Review for Mooloo men Waikato’s relegation from the Mitre 10 Cup premiership has prompted the Waikato Rugby Union to conduct an independent review to “re-evaluate the organisation’s high performance rugby from the board downwards”. Waikato this year equalled their worst ever season of two wins and eight defeats and tumbled to the second tier for the first time since 1986.

Sopoaga gets his start

By Liam Napier Step forward, Lima Sopoaga.

The All Blacks will play their first test this year without Beauden Barrett at No. 10.

Concussion has, as expected, ruled Barrett out of tomorrow’s battle with the Wallabies in Brisbane.

It is the first test Barrett has missed since the thrashing of Italy in Rome last November when virtually the entire team was rotated between dual encounters with Ireland.

Barrett’s consistent selection speaks volumes of the esteem he is held by the All Blacks.

But this is now Sopoaga’s time to shine.

Twenty-seven months have passed since his last lone test start on debut against the Springboks at Ellis Park.

Much has changed in that time, including the departures of Dan Carter and Aaron Cruden.

Sopoaga is now a proud father, and has enjoyed 11 further stints in the black jersey from the bench.

Some of those were prolonged, but there’s no denying the different dynamic attached to controlling a match from the outset.

While the size of challenge differs greatly between Argentina, where he was due to start against the Pumas last month, and Suncorp Stadium, where the All Blacks have struggled in recent times, winning one of their last three matches, Sopoaga is not the type of character usually flustered.

He proved that long ago in Johannesburg, and in recent performances in New Plymouth and Cape Town where he was composed after replacing Barrett late in the first half last week.

On and off the field, Sopoaga is comfortable in his own skin.

He will be excited, not daunted, by this opportunity. In many respects the challenge will be keeping a lid on emotions and staying focused.

With Damian McKenzie set to switch to first five-eighth at the Chiefs next year and Crusaders

Lima Sopoaga in action against the Wallabies. He will be starting against them tomorrow. playmaker Richie Mo’unga coming into the mix, there is plenty at stake in regards to future selection.

The All Blacks have taken a gamble of sorts by relying on McKenzie as sole cover for Sopoaga from fullback.

There’s no first-five on the bench – Anton Lienert-Brown and David Havili instead included, with it deemed too soon to throw Mo’unga in after he joined the team on Monday.

Overall, with Waisake Naholo returning on the right wing to replace Nehe Milner-Skudder who came through successful shoulder surgery this week, Steve Hansen has named his strongest available line-up.

That’s a nod of respect to the Wallabies, and a signal of how much this match means to the All Blacks despite already locking away the Bledisloe Cup for a 15th straight year.

The other notable selection is on the bench where Canterbury openside Matt Todd is preferred over Ardie Savea in, perhaps, a shift in the pecking order.

Sam Cane, who notches his 50th test, is the clear first-choice but Todd may have leapfrogged Savea for the back-up role.

Once again, there is also no Jerome Kaino.

The veteran has now been absent for the past seven tests since ceding his position to Liam Squire at the start of the Rugby Championship.

“Both teams have their own goals and expectations.

“From Australia’s point of view, they’ll be desperate to win as they haven’t done so for some time,” Hansen said.

“For us, our goal is to never be satisfied at where we’re at, and that means it’s greater than just the outcome. It’s about how we play, individually and collectively as a unit.

“We’re always striving to get better every game and this week is no different.

“As always, to do that, our preparation has to be spot on and bone deep.

“It’s an individual focus for each player. The job of the team management is to facilitate a

training week which provides them with clarity and the right amount of intensity so that they can arrive on Saturday ready to hum.

“It’ll be another great opportunity for this young team to show what they’ve learnt throughout the year and playing at Suncorp Stadium will be another fantastic learning experience for them all.

“It’s a great ground with a lot of tradition and there’ll be huge support for the All Blacks, which we’re looking forward to.”

ALL BLACKS Kane Hames, Dane Coles, Nepo Laulala, Sam Whitelock, Scott Barrett, Liam Squire, Sam Cane, Kieran Read (c), Aaron Smith, Lima Sopoaga, Rieko Ioane, Sonny Bill Williams, Ryan Crotty, Waisake Naholo, Damian McKenzie.

Reserves: Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Matt Todd, TJ Perenara, Anton Lienert-Brown, David Havili.

Hunt misses selection for Bledisloe Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has surprisingly left Karmichael Hunt out of his squad for tomorrow’s Bledisloe Cup Test in Brisbane.

Hunt is fit and available after recovering from an ankle injury and was thought to be a certain inclusion for the clash against New Zealand, having starred in the June window.

But Cheika has decided against calling up the 30-year-old, keeping Samu Kerevi as the bench cover for the centre positions.

Rob Simmons has been elevated to the starting line-up to replace Izack Rodda, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on Wednesday, in the only change to the Australian team that toppled the Argentinians 37-20 in Mendoza two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Ned Hanigan has been brought back onto the bench after he was excluded for the match against Los Pumas.

Former skipper Stephen Moore has also been named among the reserves, for what will be his last Test match on Australian soil and his 125th overall – making him the ninth-most capped international of all time.

The third clash in two months against the All Blacks is a dead rubber, after August’s nailbiter in Dunedin sealed a 15th consecutive Bledisloe Cup series victory for the world champions.

But the Wallabies will be out to prove a point after finishing second in the Rugby Championship with a string of solid, consistent performances.

WALLABIES Israel Folau, Marika Koroibete, Tevita Kuridrani, Kurtley Beale, Reece Hodge, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Sean McMahon, Michael Hooper, Jack Dempsey, Adam Coleman, Rob Simmons, Sekope Kepu, Tatafu PolotaNau, Scott Sio. Reserves: Stephen Moore, Tom Robertson, Allan Alaalatoa, Lukhan Tui, Ned Hanigan, Nick Phipps, Samu Kerevi, Henry Speight.

It’s time for Naholo to finally take his chances

By GreGor pauL There’s a whiff of unfulfilled promise lingering around Waisake Naholo.

In the lead up to the last World Cup he was threatening to rewrite what was possible on the wing; playing with such genius and so totally lacking inhibition that it seemed inevitable he would take command of one of the wing berths in the national side.

But two years on and Naholo has only amassed 14 test caps and no one is exactly sure where he sits in the pecking order when everyone is fit.

Injury has been his nemesis – the single, dominating reason why he’s been in and out of the All Blacks these last two years and why it feels a little like the optimism that brewed in 2015 about what he might be able to achieve was perhaps misplaced.

Naholo has simply had no luck.

Actually that is not true, he’s had plenty of bad luck – breaking his leg for a second time in early 2016, ripping his hamstring and suffering concussions.

He hasn’t been able to string a run of games together and if ever there was a player who needed regular football to get the best out

of himself it is Naholo.

If fate has any kind of heart then it will be kind to Naholo in the next five weeks and allow him to stay in one piece and deliver on that promise and not leave everyone wondering whether they were mad to be so excited by him.

He has a chance to make up for lost time and prove that he is an extraordinary talent.

Rieko Ioane on the other wing may be quicker, but Naholo can match him as a finisher, albeit with slightly different weaponry.

Naholo has an uncanny ability to seemingly amble past defenders. He shakes his hips, looks about

him and that’s all it seems to take for him to be gliding past flailing tacklers who have virtually no idea why they are grasping at thin air.

That combination of speed, power and innate rugby intelligence allows Naholo to be every bit as an effective finisher as the best in world rugby.

What he needs to do over the next few weeks is produce the statistics to prove that. And by statistics read ... score tries.

It’s time to be reminded of that and for him to make 2015 seem like the beginning of his test odyssey and not a random year that created only false hope. - NZME

In brief

■ NETBALL

Our top whistleblower

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

If you sit down next weekend, flick on the television to watch the Fast5 Netball World Series and think, “That is some topdrawer umpiring,” well you have one of Mid Canterbury’s own to thank for that.

Sheena Tyrrell will be a member of the Umpire Appointment Panel at the tournament, a role that will not only see her work with the umpires, but the teams as well.

“The tournament starts on the Saturday but we go in on the Wednesday, and there is quite a bit that happens, a lot of meetings and practice games,” she said.

“There are the practice games for everybody to get their eyes in to what they are looking for, and then there is the rehearsal for the opening ceremony.”

While currently working on the International Test Panel as well as helping to assess and coach umpires on the New Zealand Umpire Development Group, Tyrrell expects the Fast Fives to throw up their own different challenges.

“It is very different to the other types of umpiring, as it is a different game, the approach for umpires and our own techniques have to be different,” she said.

Sheena Tyrrell will be packing her bags to serve on the Umpire Appointment Panel at the Fast5 Netball World Series next week.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN “Normally the defence would look to push the shoots further out more, but in Fast Fives the further you shoot from, the more points you get, so that affects

how the umpire advantages as you don’t want to give someone the chance at two points, when it should only be one.”

While it is a major internation-

al event, Tyrrell said she is looking forward to the experience.

“It should all be great fun and very challenging.

“It is a festive occasion and should be interesting as something different to what we normally do,” she said.

The Ashburton College employee has plenty of experience around the netball courts, taking up umpiring when she was still playing late in the 1960s, and gave away playing after making her first national tournament as an umpire.

“I have been to 19 national tournaments and was top 10 on five of those, and I also spent five years umpiring in the national league,” she said.

“After I stopped that I moved in to solely the NZUDG work with the theoretical and physical assessment of umpires at local, regional and national level, as well as being heavily involved with the admin side of things.”

Tyrrell said she was very pleased with how the game has progressed, with umpires working as “a team” with the teams, as opposed to being there to pick on the teams.

“I have also had a bit of luck this year with going overseas with the ITP as well as doing work for the Constellation Cup, which is all great fun,” she said.

Coulthard happy with underdog status By ed JacKson For all the talk of his Ford teammate Scott McLaughlin and Holden star Jamie Whincup, it’s Fabian Coulthard who heads into this weekend’s Supercars event on the Gold Coast with the championship lead.

While McLaughlin’s electric qualifying form has put most of the attention on the young New Zealander’s bid to hold off sixtime Supercars champion Whincup, Coulthard’s quietly efficient form has ensured a 91-point lead in the series standings.

Coulthard and co-driver Tony D’Alberto finished third at the Bathurst 1000, their podium finish maximising a bad day for McLaughlin (DNF) and Whincup (20th) at Mount Panorama.

Coulthard, who is expecting the birth of twins with partner Becky Lamb the week after the Gold Coast 600, says the lack of attention paid to his championship bid is far from upsetting.

“It doesn’t bother me, I’ve always sort of been the underdog,” Coulthard said.

“At the end of the day you go about each weekend trying to do the best you can and we’re in this position.

“Everyone’s going to have a bad run at some point.

Durante out for months Wellington A-League skipper and New Zealand central defender Andrew Durante has been ruled out for eight to 12 weeks with a groin injury. Apart from missing months of A-League for the Phoenix, Durante is also out of contention for the All Whites’ intercontinental World Cup playoff next month against Peru. - NZME

Messi notches century Barcelona, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich were among the winners in Wednesday’s Champions League action while Chelsea and Roma played out a six-goal thriller. Lionel Messi scored his 100th goal in Europe as 10-man Barcelona maintained a winning start to their Group D campaign with a 3-1 victory over Olympiacos. “I hope he can get to 200 by the end of this season,” Barca coach Ernesto Valverde said of Messi’s achievement.

Moylan not on hit list Former Penrith NSW Cup mentor Garth Brennan has promised not to go raiding the Panthers’ stocks after being appointed Gold Coast NRL coach. The Titans announced Brennan’s three-year deal yesterday to replace the sacked Neil Henry after a sustained period of success at Penrith. The Panthers’ finals campaign was turned on its head last season when captain Matt Moylan stepped aside on personal leave.

Halliday on comeback US-based Kiwi Matt Halliday will make a comeback of sorts at next weekend’s Laser Plumbing Hampton Downs 500. The former A1GP, Indy Lights, Carrera Cup and Supercars driver has focused mainly on the increasingly popular GT racing in recent times and jumped at the opportunity to come home.

He will partner veteran Kiwi racer Andrew Bagnall in an Audi R8 for the 500km test. “I don’t doubt what I can do in a race car,” Halliday said. “I’ll be as quick as anybody.”

McLaughlin fired up Kiwi Scott McLaughlin will have the bit between the teeth on the streets of Surfers Paradise this weekend as he looks to make up the ground he lost at Bathurst. The 24-year-old went to Bathurst with a handy championship advantage but left 97 points adrift of Shell V-Power Racing team-mate Fabian Coulthard courtesy of a DNF with engine failure. McLaughlin has been the dominant driver in the second half of the Supercars season and he is confident he can make back that ground over the three remaining events.

Heimgartner in Camry

New Zealand driver Fabian Coulthard currently leads the Supercars championship.

“I had mine earlier in the year so hopefully it’s smooth sailing between now and Newcastle.”

The 35-year-old is yet to win a race at the Surfers Paradise street circuit, where wet weather is forecast to cause an additional element of danger for the championship contenders.

Coulthard says racing conservatively won’t be his plan however, as he aims to wrap up the Endurance Cup portion of the season with a maiden victory on the Gold Coast.

“At times you have to race smart. The smart thing for me last round was when Scotty and

Jamie had a drama and you had to maximise that weekend to put myself in this position,” he said.

“You’re still going to need to win races.

“I would love a first place surfboard – I’ve got a third place surfboard at home – but I’d love to tick that box off.”

Andre Heimgartner will make his racing return to a New Zealand national championship by confirming he will line-up in the BNT V8s at Pukekohe, November 3-5, aboard a Richards Motorsport Toyota Camry. Heimgartner is no stranger to the BNT V8s in New Zealand, having made his touring car debut in V8 SuperTourers as a 16-year-old in 2012 aboard a Holden Commodore and says he is excited to get back into the BNT V8 championship.

Mo’unga to miss semi-final Richie Mo’unga will miss Canterbury’s Mitre 10 Cup semi-final against North Harbour in Christchurch on Saturday.

Mo’unga was instrumental in guiding the Crusaders to this year’s Super Rugby title and the first five-eighth has continued that form with Canterbury’s provincial team.

But after being called into the All Blacks this week as cover for Beauden Barrett, Mo’unga will watch Canterbury’s knockout match from Brisbane, with the red and blacks now expected to turn to 20-year-old rookie Brett Cameron to run the cutter at No. 10.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen indicated Barrett is recovering well from concussion symptoms but he will head home.

Mo’unga is then required to stay in case Lima Sopoaga or Damian McKenzie are injured before Saturday’s clash with the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium.

“He’s going to stay because Beauden is going to go home so we’ll need some backup,” Hansen said.

“We have to revise the plan of sending Richie home because Beauden is going home instead.”

Barrett passed concussion tests after leaving the field in the first half of the All Blacks 25-24 victory over the Springboks in Cape Town last week but reported to feeling unwell, did not return and has since suffered headaches and minor dizziness.

Pressed on whether the head injury assessment testing was effective, Hansen batted away potential concerns.

“It’s one of those things. Head knocks are pretty complicated. The system is there to protect the player and in this case he passed it but the doc said he wasn’t feeling great so we protected him.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in the system, and in our doctor. We’ve got a lot of understanding of what we will and won’t do with our players when they are injured and we’re clear about it.”

Ronaldo Daily Events the richest Friday Cristiano Ronaldo is the richest sports personality in the world, according to the latest Forbes’ Rich List.

The Real Madrid striker has earned an incredible £70 million ($NZ129m) in the last year, along with picking up another Champions League medal and becoming the inaugural winner of The Best FIFA Men’s Player award.

Ronaldo is joined by just one Englishman on the list, with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton sat in 11th place having earned £32m.

And despite the money flowing through the Premier League, there is just one representative, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic sneaking into the top 20 with £24m.

Elsewhere, Roger Federer comes in at No. 5 having taken £48m in the last 12 months.

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, October 20, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll slip into your zone. The frame of mind that comes with this allows you to be quick, masterful and impervious to any obstruction that would stop a less powerful operator.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Trust isn’t an all-or-nothing game. It’s about learning a person’s nature to know what to expect. Observation is the way.

You’ll ask an innocuous, open-ended question and then back off to see what’s revealed.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There’s a relationship that’s taking your focus now. The two of you are like porcupines in the snow. You need warmth but must keep a certain distance. You’ll find the balance.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You have no agenda and are not looking for what you can get out of a situation. You’re simply there to help in whatever way you can, and because of this, you will be able to help many.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Remember when you experienced an instant attraction to someone you didn’t know, and then you got to know the person and watched the attraction erode? It could go another way this time. Say hello and find out.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): New aspirations will form in your mind and heart. Brainstorms will align.

Disparate ideas will bond to make plausible ones. All that chaotic, random energy bouncing around crystalises into a real thing.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Since you know what you think, you’ll try other people’s opinions and viewpoints. This will increase your empathy and power, too, since it’s easier to influence those you truly understand.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are those who give before you ask in ways you never expected.

It’s not really a favourable dynamic now, as contributions come with too much attached.

Besides, you want to make your own way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If there were a multiplechoice test on your life right now, you’d be bubbling in a lot of answers like “None of the above” and “All of the above,” as big groups of events seem to be happening or not .

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It happens all the time.

Smart people do dumb things. Enlightened people do petty things. Simple people do complicated things. Maybe we should stop labelling people and just accept them.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Excitement and boredom are states of mind linked to impermanence.

You’ll relax into a deeper understanding as you accept what can’t be maintained indefinitely.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Learning is always forward movement, even when what you are learning seems to stop you from going further. Ask a different question. One good question may very well be all it takes to change everything.

Sport Debut ton for ul-Haq Imam-ul-Haq became the third youngest player to score a century on his one-day international debut and Hasan Ali grabbed 5-34 as Pakistan hammered Sri Lanka by seven wickets to secure a series victory. Pakistan took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, with Sri Lanka’s losing streak in ODIs now stretching to 10 matches. The 21-year-old Imam is the nephew of Inzamam-ul-Haq, the former captain and Pakistan’s current chief selector.

He hit 100 off 125 balls with two sixes and five fours to help Pakistan cruise to 3-209 in 42.3 overs.

Some of Mid Canterbury’s tennis hotshots will get the chance to show off their skills at Mid Canterbury Tennis’ premier junior tournament this weekend.

Over the long weekend, the organisation will hold the Ashburton Trust Junior Open, with not only Mid Canterbury kids, but some coming from as far as Nelson to compete.

Andre van Rooyen said they were expecting around 110 to attend the event, with many coming from Dunedin, Oamaru, Timaru, Christchurch and Nelson.

“It is very exciting,” van Rooyen said.

“We have a really strong 1618s boys’ field this year, which we are really excited about.

“We have had lots of really good results at a few of the spring opens, and two winners at the Canterbury Spring

Championships last week.”

The tournament covers ages eight to 18, and in the younger grades is where van Rooyen sees a strong future for Mid Canterbury Tennis.

“We had four away competing in a Canterbury team against a combined Blenheim and Nelson team, and they picked up some good wins and we have a really good group of players down here, which is fantastic,” he said.

Van Rooyen said he is looking forward to seeing how the players perform on their home court.

“It will be great for the players to test themselves against some of the other kids, as well as being on their own court,” he said.

“We are building up a great young group, and it should be an interesting weekend.”

The tournament does see all interclub tennis go on hold for the weekend, and it will start up once again next week.

Sodhi to replace luckless Astle in India Legspinner Todd Astle is on his way home from New Zealand’s limited-overs tour to India.

The Canterbury allrounder suffered a groin tear after bowling just three balls in the opening warmup game on Tuesday night and after medical assessments over two days he’s been counted out for the rest of the six-game tour.

The injury will have him ruled out of cricket for about three weeks.

Ish Sodhi, who was originally only named in the T20 squad, will replace Astle in the ODI side.

“Todd was really impressive in the recent New Zealand A tour over here and had done everything he possibly could to get himself ready for this series,”

said New Zealand coach Mike Hesson.

“He deserved this opportunity and everyone in the team is certainly feeling for Todd.’’

Astle’s battle to get a foothold in the New Zealand team has suffered regular setbacks.

The 31-year-old made his test debut in Colombo in 2012, Ross Taylor’s final test as New Zea-

land captain, and Astle made a useful contribution, getting some important second innings runs.

His other three international appearances have been two T20 internationals against Pakistan in January last year, and a second test, also against the Pakistanis in Christchurch last summer.

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says he will go to Switzerland next Wednesday to answer questions from Swiss prosecutors investigating the suspected bribery of a top FIFA executive for World Cup broadcasting rights. Criminal proceedings against Al-Khelaifi, who is also CEO of Qatar-owned BeIN Media, former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, and an unnamed businessman working in sports rights were announced by the office of Switzerland’s attorney general last week.

Kyrgios bundled out Injury appears to have played a role in Nick Kyrgios losing his first match since his Shanghai shenanigans. The world No.20 won a tense first set but was beaten 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 3-6 by Belgian Ruben Bemelmans in the second round of the European Open.

Neither player earned a break point in the first set. Kyrgios pounded down 14 aces but world No.98 Bemelmans relied on his heavy lefthanded serve to hold Kyrgios at bay.

The Australian third seed appeared to struggle with a hip injury and called a medical time during the second set.
