“The Kathmandu Coast to Coast 2023, what a race. The first day saw nerves kick in when lining up on the start line at Kumara! I had an absolute blast through the 55km ride and 33km Mountain Run through Goat Pass. I was happy with the results at the end of Day 1. After a good meal and night's rest, the second day went really well. I loved every minute of paddling the 70km scenic Waimakariri Gorge, also met many nice people along the way. After a quick 70km bike o the paddle, I was looking forward to running up the sand bank and finishing one of the biggest achievements ofmylife.

I had so many family and friends supporting me along the way, and seeing them at the finish line made me quite emotional, especially when I saw my nana. I’m so grateful for my amazing support crew, Mum, Dad and Ollie OllieOllie Ollie.

Also, my coach Richard Greer Richard Greer Richard (Team CP), strength coach Kim Kim Vargo Vargo Vargo Vargo and nutritionist Cushla Cushla Cushla Holdaway Holdaway Holdaway Holdaway for a great training plan and support network! The Signature Homes Emerging Athlete sponsor award was a massive help throughout the year, and I am very grateful for it.”

Premier Cricket Report

Darfield collected full points in a onesided2-dayeragainstOhoka, where they wrapped things up in thelasthalfhourofplay.

Ohoka won the toss and in an attempt to control the pace of the game elected to bat first. Regret was instant as they slumped to 14/3 as Tom Innes, RyanHughesandRobbieFoulkes took 1 each. The middle order farednobetter,evenasthepitch flattenedout underthesun.74/6 soon turned into 93 all out as Hughestook 4,andLiamFoulkes set attacking fields to end the innings.

In reply, Darfield lost an early wicket, but the in-form Robbie Foulkes and Jordy Frew each made scores in the 70s to rub out Ohoka's first innings score and take their team to a lead of 139 when Foulkes declared the inningsclosedat232/6. Ohoka's task was to bat out the rest of the day with the loss of as few wickets as possible. They were at a good chance to achieve that goal and perhaps force Darfield to bat again next Saturday, but at 48/1, the innings imploded as Ryan Hughes, Nick Jenkins and Liam Foulkes created a team collapse. Ohoka were dismissed for 82 runs leaving them to lose by an innings and 57 runs. A proper thrashing inside 1-day. With the Premier team earning Saturday o , the Senior B side will be the main event for Club Day to be hosted at Darfield Domain on Saturday, February 18th.
