The Parents’ Coffee Morning Group that we run with Mid Canterbury Plunket has resumed, meeting every Wednesday at 10am. It was interesting to see how much some of the kids have grown up during the past three months. We have had our first meeting since the lockdown of the Board Games Club, with 17 participants, both young and old, showing people were keen to meet in person again. Our Girls Night Out women’s group will meet again tonight, and we are trying Mon- day (instead of Friday) to see if it will be more comfortable to participants. We also ran a workshop on preparing for a job interview, a skill more and more people may need during the upcoming months. interview questions.

We have already had some successes, with four students having successfully sat the test already. With our final class being a road craft lesson presented by Allan Baird from Driver Training, our students are well set to become safe and confident drivers on our roads. It’s been really exciting to see some men joining the group, and they have enjoyed the opportunity to get off farm and come to town to learn new skills. Our practical driving students are also going well with another three tests com- pleted this month. It’s been great getting some more students and mentors on the road and by all accounts they are having a great time. With National Volunteer Week in June it is fitting that we honour our wonderful volunteers. They help us with driving, child care and picking up students for class. We really appreciate their help and can’t run this programme without them. We hope they get as much out of it as we do. Judging by past feedback, it sounds like they do.

■■RUGBY Methven wins epic battle

By Adam Burns [email protected] If this was a dress rehearsal for the Watters Cup final, then sign us up. After 80 minutes of a fiery and highly physical battle it was Methven who still had their un- beaten account intact. The side edged fellow Cup front-runners Southern 32-28 at Hinds on Saturday, but had to dig deep, particularly in the fi- nal stages where the hosts threw everything at them. A late try by Methven fullback Brenton Connell, who slithered down the left hand flank to score the second of his two tries, proved to be the pivotal moment. The encounter was not without niggle – unsurprising in such a significant clash as the two top- of-the-table sides looked to es- tablish the physical ascendancy. The match threatened to boil over in the second spell after Southern centre Atunaisa Taku- bu was sent to the bin for a high tackle. The visitors had the stronger beginning as they rebuffed an early onslaught from Southern, before centre Matthew Holmes crossed the line after five minutes scored again earlier in the phase when Takubu was shown yellow Methven’s Matthew Holmes breaks away to score the opening try following a gliding run by wing but a forward pass cancelled the after a high tackle, which resulted for his side in their win against Southern on the weekend.

■■FOOTBALL Late penalty not enough for United

A penalty late in the match by Luke Martin wasn’t enough to spur a comeback for the Mid Canterbury senior football side on Saturday as they went down 1-2 to a strong Halswell side. Trailing the match 0-2 with 10 minutes left on the clock, Martin managed to get one past the goal keeper to give his side a sniff late in the match, but they were un- able to secure another to at least bring the scores level before the final whistle. But despite the loss, there were plenty of positives for the side that they can take forward for the remainder of the season as they look to move themselves off the bottom of the table in the Canter- bury Championship League. Meanwhile it was a tough day the office for the Reserves side as they suffered an 8-0 loss to the top of the table Halswell side. The match was always going to be a difficult one with Halswell having won five from five prior to travelling to Ashburton. They put together a polished performance and arguably no team in the league would have been able to handle them on Sat- urday.
