A dominant season for Darfield was capped off with a dominant performance in the Final of the Canterbury Country Premier Men's Competition at the Association’s home ground of Main Power Oval in Rangiora last Saturday. Darfield dismissed LeestonSouthbridge for 113 in the 39th over and collected the required runs in the 28th over for the loss of only 2 wickets to be crowned winners of the Fulton-Wright Cup. It was fitting to have John Wright present the cup to Darfield Captain Liam Foulkes at the conclusion of the match. Darfield chose to bowl first after winning the toss on a new and green surface. There was plenty of nibble early on for the LeeBridge openers to deal with, and they were travelling alright until the 5th over when newly capped Canterbury player Zak Foulkes removed the typically stubborn Toby Doyle. Tom Innes snared Brayden Hill for 20, and Foulkes then got fellow Canterbury team
mate Harry Chamberlain for a duck when he was sharply caught at square leg by Tom Dempster. 27/3 in the 9th over was not the start Lee-Bridge had planned, and despite the best efforts of Tim Gruijters and Captain Sam Chamberlain to soak up some balls, the Darfield bowlers never wavered from their immaculate lines and lengths. Ryan Hughes removed both men to expose the middle order, and a counter attack of sorts was deployed by Dougald Munro (33) and Chris Beatson (18), but Will Greenslade snared them both after already taking the wicket of the 3rd Canterbury player involved in the match, Will Williams. Andrew Bell and Liam Foulkes picked up a wicket each, as the innings was wrapped up for an underwhelming 113. If there was ever a side to make Darfield work hard for all those 113 runs it was going to be Leeston-Southbridge. Continued on page 5...

GOLDEN VOICE MAKING WAVES Rugby player turned songwriter, and ex-local Sam Heselwood (24) is a name to pay attention to. Growing up in the Darfield, music didn’t come first for Sam. Rugby was his first love which led him to a semi-professional career. Sam credits his love for music and ability to sing to his primary school teacher, Chrissy Badger. “I would run away every lunchtime to play sport, and she would come out onto the field and make sure I practised. Little did I know she would spark something I probably never would have pursued if I’d never gone through her programme,” Sam commented. However, when Sam left the watchful eye of Chrissy he lost interest in music during his high school years. Once he left school, he picked up his guitar and upskilled via YouTube videos.
After taking time off from music in high school, Sam penned his first song at age 19. Then at 21, he entered the Golden Guitar awards in Gore, in which he was a finalist for his song ‘High Off Love’, which he recorded in his room on a USB mic. “It wasn't until I started writing my own songs that I fell in love with music completely,” Sam added. In 2021, after a year of gigging in Wanaka, Sam returned to Christchurch and was due to go overseas on a rugby contract but Covid-19 struck which lead him on a new path. Sam joined SOLE Music Academy and through their mentorship and support, Sam has been honing his skills in singing, guitar and song writing and has written a new body of work titled ‘Family’ set to be released this year. “I stumbled across SOLE online
Sam Heselwood.
when I was looking for guitar and vocal lessons, I had a meeting, got accepted, and now I am working on my music every day. It’s been the best year of my life. Sam’s music is warm and intimate, showcasing a refreshingly authentic sense of vulnerability. Influenced by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi. He captivates his listeners with honest and relatable lyrics and his powerful voice. Exploring themes of family, love and mental health, he has the unique ability to leave listeners with goosebumps. “My new song ‘18’ is out now on all music platforms. I wrote ‘18’ a year ago as an audition to get into my final stage at SOLE Academy, it’s about being young, wild and free. Life can get a bit full on as you get older and I don't think I knew how easy I had it back then. “I want to try and give as much of a relatable experience as I can through my writing. We had an awesome producing team of Will McGillivray and Josh Logan who really brought the song to life, and an incredibly supportive team at SOLE who helped it get out to the world professionally. I was lucky enough to play it live on Pulzar FM last year and the video is up on my Instagram and Facebook page. We also have a really cool lyric video up on YouTube which was filmed in the Port Hills,” Sam concluded. Check out Sam’s Facebook page to listen to his latest single ‘18’: Sam Heselwood Music, or go to Instagram, YouTube or Spotify to listen also.

DARFIELD VACCINATION CLINIC On March 25th and 26th, the Canterbury District Health Board held a Vaccination Event in the Darfield Four Square carpark. Some of the Covid Vaccination programme staff live in Darfield and happily spread the word about this event. Approximately eighty people received their vaccination, with half of them
being children. “We had a great welcome from the Darfield community and Delwyn and Kelvin Taege were great hosts allowing us to use the carpark,” commented Canterbury District Health Board Operations Manager, Covid-19 Vaccination Programme, Megan Clark.
There will be another Darfield Vaccination Event, on April 1st and 2nd, from 10am-3pm.
ON HOLD CURRENTLY
Due to the current Covid situation, the Selwyn Steam Navigation Co is currently in dry dock until further notice. However, when the coast is clear they will make a break for open water. Keep an eye out for further updates in the Malvern News.

DARFIELD CRICKET WINS FINAL …. continued from front page. With enough moisture left in a quickly drying pitch, Will Williams ran in hard at openers Zak Foulkes and Nick Gilbert. With the team score at 28, Foulkes was caught behind for 13, and Lee-bridge had the
start they were looking for. Liam Foulkes walked out at the uncharacteristic number 3 position and stubbornly resisted some very intense pressure from the bowlers who bowled similarly difficult areas as the Darfield pacemen. The difference
ITM GOLF DAY
Darfield ITM held their annual Trade Golf Tournament at the Greendale Golf Course on Friday, March 18th, under restrictions and with reduced numbers. A great day was had by everyone as they enjoyed the ambos game of golf with novelty games. “It was great to see everyone relax and enjoy themselves after the workplace stresses everyone is experiencing in the building industry currently,” commented Darfield ITM Manager, Faye Saunders.

was Darfield refused to concede wickets. Him and Gilbert took the total to 61, and Gilbert, in particular, should be recognised for disciplining himself and resisting the temptation to hit out to get the scoreboard moving. He was rewarded later in the innings as he was joined by Ryan Hughes and the pair gradually accumulated singles. Once the score reached 80, and there were only 34 runs to win the batters started opening up and reaching for the boundary. Things were brought to a swift conclusion after Gilbert brought up his 50 when Hughes thumped the winning runs to the fence.

Do more to monitor your safety! Hello fellow road users It certainly has been a very crazy start to the year and seems everything is conspiring against us at the moment. The automotive industry is not immune and is now showing signs of the pressures the new world has us working under. But ever the optimist, I don't want to get too negative about it, and I look for positives and a silver lining. We are busy and very well supported by the local community. Thank you to our repeat customers for supporting locals, who employ locals who spend locally. We are also constantly welcoming new faces into the workshop as well. Our community is expanding with Darfield, Kirwee and West Melton all having new subdivisions going in currently. The car market is also very strained at the moment with
supply being a real problem. This has occurred for many reasons (emissions laws/levies, limited production in overseas factories, limited freight from overseas to New Zealand, buyers in New Zealand with spare money to upgrade) it's a real supply and demand battle. We are finding a lot of customers are very keen to keep their existing vehicle and keep it maintained rather than try and enter the market for a new or replacement vehicle. A properly maintained vehicle will give you trouble-free motoring between regular services. Even during these very trying times we still pride ourselves on being open, honest and working with integrity, never taking shortcuts on workmanship or quality parts. Because ultimately, if I don't see you between regular servicing your vehicle is going well, (but I do miss the catch-

ups). Summer is over now and we move into Autumn, meaning cooler temperatures, longer nights and it’s also much easier to sleep at night. With the sun being lower in the morning and at night comes sunstrike. If you are one of the commuters who drive toward Christchurch each morning and home at night you would have suffered sunstrike at some stage. Get prepared and don't get caught! My advice is to have a clean windscreen (inside and outside). Have an old piece of towel tucked into the driver's door pocket, which you can grab to keep the inside of the windscreen clean. Also, use the air-con as it dries out the air blown onto the windscreen to help it demist faster, and of course, good streak-free wipers are a must to clear morning mist and dew. Lastly, make sure the window washers are working. One of the most common faults we have in the workshop is people using dishwash liquid in their window washer system, this just turns to slime, smears on the windscreen and eventually blocks up the washer system. Just use clean water and a quality washer additive.
Happy and safe Autumn motoring, from Macca and the team at Darfield Automotive.

SELWYN MP UPDATE What a welcome relief last week’s news of a lift in restrictions has brought. There’s even, dare I say it, a faint whiff of optimism in the air, a return to normal is almost within reach! By the time you read this, vaccine passes and scanning requirements will be abolished, outdoor gathering limits will be scrapped and some vaccine mandates will be phased out. The Government has finally caught up with reality, which is that Omicron has changed the game and the tools that worked against Delta are now putting unjustified limits on people’s lives. There is very little point in vaccine passes anymore, and it’s good they’re finally being abolished. In my view, the Government should also signal a timeline for abolishing the remaining mandates. Kiwis have done the right thing, here in Selwyn, 95 percent of us are double vaccinated and over 75 percent of us are boosted, and after two tough years, it’s time to get back to normality and start thinking positively about the future. Perhaps the most positive thing to look forward to is the reopening of the border. Our migrant communities will be
able to reunite with family, many will be able to get residency after being stuck in a visa limbo for so long, businesses across Canterbury will be able to bring in the critically important staff that they have been starved of, and working holiday-makers will return. We think the Government needs to pull out all the stops to make NZ an attractive destination for those working holiday-makers, given our massive labour shortages. Global competition for these workers is intense. Australia is spending millions on aggressive marketing to attract these workers to their shores, while also offering a raft of other incentives like a visa application fee refund, unrestricted work rights and supplementary visas. If more isn’t urgently done here to attract these workers, our tourism/hospitality businesses will continue to struggle, the fruit won’t get picked, grapes won’t get harvested and shelves won’t get stacked. We think that, at a minimum, we must at least match what Australia is offering, as well as extending our current age category from 30 – 35, and allowing any current Working Holiday Visa holder to be granted two more extensions to
that visa. Until offshore workers start to trickle back in though, I think it timely to give a huge and heartfelt thank you to all those who’ve had their shoulder to the wheel, keeping this place going these past two years. Selwyn is an incredibly resourceful district, well-serviced by an expansive network of community-minded folk who’ve looked out for those in need of a hand during these tough times. So, whether you are an employer, teacher, nurse, doctor, aged-care worker, cook, cleaner, tradie, vet or a farmer, whatever your line of work, it’s been folk like you who’ve helped our district come through this thing in better shape than most. Thank you. Nicola Grigg, MP for Selwyn.
