COURT IS IN SESSION New Zealand finished fourth at the FIBA Asian Championship in India last October to clinch a spot at the U17 World Cup. The tournament is an historic occasion as it is the first FIBA Age-Group World Cup ever attended by a New Zealand Women?s team.

North Canterbury basketballer, 16 year old Helen Matthews, was selected in the squad to attend the U17 Women's Basketball World Cup in Belarus.

PHOTO SUPPLIED There wasn't a lot of preparation leading up to the World Cup, as most of the pre training was done in Minsk 3-4 days prior to the tournament starting. They had two warm up games against Australia, and Belarus, but unfortunately they lost two players to serious injuries in those games which meant they went into the tournament with only 10 players. Playing in a different country can sometimes be daunting but Helen said the accommodation was really good and the food was nice. Belarus is quite hot at this time of year, and Helen described the city as

a weird mix, being quite pretty, but also having some ugly buildings. They didn't have much time for sight seeing but got to visit some malls and wander around the river area.

The language barrier wasn't too much of an issue as they had a volunteer with the team who did a lot of translation. They did learn some basics, and got to eat out at a Belorussian restaurant. They played games across two stadiums, on good quality courts, and the atmosphere was really good, especially the match against Belarus, with the noisy home crowd.

In game one of pool play the NZ side faced Spain and were beaten 83-48. The second match was a much closer affair as the girls initially were down by 22 points against Hungary, but closed to within a single point at 55-54.

They couldn't quite pull off what would have been a major upset against the European Championship runners-up as they eventually went down 68-60.

Helen featured strongly in this match with 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. In the final match of pool play, the NZ girls again went close, but lost to Argentina 60-52.

This set up a Round of 16 clash against Australia. Unfortunately

our trans-Tasman neighbours were just too good and we were beaten 77-37.

The closest defeat would come in the playoff game against Mali.

The match went to overtime but the girls were again pipped 66-64.

A victory would have given NZ a top ten finish but Mali came back late in the game to take the match.

They did however pick up a win in a torrid encounter against hosts Belarus 73-59. This set up a final placing game for 11th and 12th against China. The girls looked on track for another win but a strong final 1/4 saw China take the match 88-66 and 12th place for the Kiwi girls.

Helen's favourite game was against Hungary. She personally had a good game, and the team had bounced back from their loss to Spain. They put together a strong performance and almost won, and most importantly showed they could compete at this level.

She said the hardest game was probably against Spain because they weren't quite putting together what they had practiced in training. She felt being their first game their mindset wasn't quite right and with better preparation they might not have lost by so much.

Helen says t h at get t in g t o w at ch t h e best t eam s in t h e w or ld play, like t h e USA, an d seein g h ow t h ey play, especially t h eir passin g an d decision m ak in g w as on e of t h e best t h in gs abou t t h e Wor ld Cu p.

The Reta Fitzpatrick Cup is the Canterbury Knockout competition for women's football teams. With only five teams entering the competition this year, Waimak United drew the BYE in the first round, putting them straight into the semi final against Halswell. Having comfortably accounted for Halswell three times during the season, the Waimak side was confident of dispatching their opposition again, but knockout football can be a different proposition, and they would be without centre back Kayla Thomas who has accepted a college scholarship to the US, and NZ U20 rep Gabi Rennie.

The match started relatively evenly with Waimak scoring first through Rebecca Gillett and Halswell replying just before halftime to go into the sheds tied up 1-1. However in the second half Waimak began to show their potential and dominate the possession. Two through balls from Macey Fraser were finished off by Jayda Stewart for Waimak to take the match 3-1, and set up a final against Universities.

The final was set up for a cracking match with the teams having met three times during the regular season, with 1 draw and a win each.

However a goal to Jayda Stewart in the 4th minute following some excellent flowing play down the left between Katie Elstob, Abby de Visser, and Connor Duggan, immediately eased the nerves and began the total domination from the Waimak girls. Emma Johnson, Macey Fraser and Duggan dominated the midfield and excellent pressing up top by Stewart and Jaz Ball, saw a second goal for Stewart just before halftime, and Waimak headed into the break with a confident 2 goal advantage. The second half brought more of the same and despite Universities trying to penetrate the Waimak defence, Bex Gillett, Lily Fisher, Maddie Silcock, Elstob, and captain Briar Guyan were unbreakable. Stewart picked up her hattrick early in the second half from another Fraser through ball. Gillett would break up the score sheet, finishing off a Fraser corner and the score would tick over to 4-0. Abbey Neilson came off the bench to replace Ball, Jo Keer-Keer slotted in for Duggan, and Olivia Johnson replaced Silcock, but that only added to the pressure on Universities and they would concede several corners, before Stewart would head one home driven in by Fraser. The 5th goal well and truly laid the match to rest and the Reta Fitzpatrick Knockout Cup romp was complete.

BRING A PLATE PHOTO FROM KAIAPOI RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB FACEBOOK

The season began for the Kaiapoi Women's in the Metro Premier Women's competition back in April.

They started with two good wins over Linwood 34-27, and Marist Albion 39-31, but then struggled against top sides; Christchurch Football, Lincoln Uni, HSOB, University of Canterbury, and Suburbs Sydenham, suffering some heavy defeats.

At the June split they went into the Metro Premier Women's Plate round and fired off 5 wins and only one loss which put them through to the Plate Final. They would come up against Linwood who they had twice beaten and been defeated by once, all by relatively close margins. The final didn't disappoint either, but the Kaiapoi Women came out on top 34-26 to take the title and bring the Plate home.
