TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Thursday, September 12, the 255th day of 2019. There are 110 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 12, 2001, stunned rescue workers continued to search for bodies in the World Trade Centre’s smoking rubble a day after a terrorist attack that shut down the financial capital, badly damaged the Pentagon and left thousands dead. On this date: In 1914, forty-three miners were killed in an explosion at Huntly. At 7.20am an explosion at Ralph’s mine on Raynor Rd rocked Huntly. It was caused by a miner’s naked acetylene cap-lamp igniting firedamp (methane gas given off by coal). In 1942, during World War Two, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians; it’s estimated more than 1600 people died while some 1100 survived after the ship sank. The German crew, joined by other U-boats, began rescue operations. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched its Luna 2 space probe, which made a crash landing on the moon.

Ashburton Golf Club A great day last Saturday saw the kick off for this year’s club champs match- play, and some cracking games took place. Looking at the results there were not any great upsets. In the seniors all the lower handicaps prevailed, and all through the grades some wonderful quarter finals have been thrown up. Again with so many games taking place we can only look at a few. In the Junior B the tie of the round is club legend and evergreen Bill Hetrick against club, pin the tail on the donkey champ, Pat Turton. This game could go either way, maybe Bill will win or maybe Pat will lose, any- one’s guess. In Junior A teacher and pupil finds Jeff Williamson take on young Wilson, should be a cracker, Jeff will need all his matchplay nous to stifle the young buck. Alan White will take on his Wat- son Cup partner Chris Robertson, an- other great game looks likely. The pick of the Intermediate draw is de- fending champ Chris Lovelock locking horns with Pete Morrison, again these two have played a lot together and will know each other’s strengths, too close to call. Then big hitting Braydon and Slugger Strange will both beat their chests with finesse going out of the window. In the Seniors Blair will play Lefty, Rob- bie takes on Hamish, Pete Walker will try and tame the Hopster and top seed MSA Fishing Section Jeff will have a battle on his hands with Members of the MSA fishing section enjoyed a weekend at Black Forest fishing in Lake Benmore.

Labelled desperately unlucky to miss the World Cup in Japan, 108-test veteran Franks and Laumape were named in Fox Sports Lab’s Snub XV – a 23-man strong fictional team deemed “good enough to beat most sides in the world”. Franks came in at number three on Fox Sports Lab’s countdown with Laumape at 12 with Liam Squire also named in the squad – although it was noted he had initially made himself unavailable. Nathan Harris, Vaea Fifita and Karl Tu’inukuafe were named in the reserves of the Snub VX line-up. - NZME Super Rugby changes Everything happens earlier in Super Rugby next year in changes that SANZAAR hopes will make the faltering product more successful.
