Sport Moli makes good to lift trophy By Jacob Page Former Marlborough Boys’ College captain Atu Moli became the fifth New Zealand captain to lift the Under-20 World Rugby Trophy after a 21-16 win over defending champions England in the final, in Italy. The prop, who now plies his trade with Waikato played an instrumental part in ensuring New Zealand’s forward pack was able to match it with an English pack that had been the benchmark all tournament. Moil says post-match his team had kept their focus and kept to their structures and gameplans despite England’s fast start. “It was very physical, big ups to the
inbrief
boys. “They came out and executed the stuff we needed to. “The plan was to build phases and get ourselves into the game but England played well and put us under pressure early. “I’m just really proud of the boys. New Zealand was the only undefeated team at the tournament. Tasman Makos assistant coach Leon MacDonald was an assistant coach with the team.

The New Zealand crew had made the final after winning both their heat and a semi-final race. MacKenzie was returning to Varese, where she and Zoe McBride took lightweight double sculls gold in last year’s under-23 world championships. Other Marlburians rowing at the tournament included Karl Manson, whose quadruple sculls
crew finished third in the B final and Tom Murray, who was part of the men’s eight which finished fourth. Axel Dickinson and Patrick McInnes were third in the C final of the men’s pair. Overall, New Zealand crew took four golds, a silver and a bronze at the event.
Gymnastics Cricket weekend a success About 750 Marlborough students from 16 primary schools took part in Friday’s schools’ gymnastics festival at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000. They were joined by gymnasts from around the country competing in the Marlborough Gymnastics Championships on Saturday and Sunday.
Ben Wheeler had a strong all-round game but it was not enough to win the deciding one-day international against England. The left-hander hit 39 not out off 28 balls as New Zealand finished on 283-9, and took 2-33 off five overs bowling first-change. England won the match by three wickets on the Duckworth-Lewis method to take the series 3-2. The series concluded this morning with a twenty20 international.
