■■RUGBY Heartland hopes dashed

By Erin Tasker [email protected] Mid Canterbury will not feature in the finals of this year’s Heart- land Championship after being beaten 34-10 by North Otago on Saturday. The loss in the rugby competi- tion’s penultimate round was Mid Canterbury’s fifth of the season, and when combined with just the one win and a draw, it gave them 10 competition points which with one round to go will not be enough to see them finish in the top eight. And no one’s more disappoint- ed than the side’s coaches Dale Palmer and Jason Rickard, and the players themselves. They feel like they’ve let them- selves, their families, their sup- porters, fans, and the Mid Can- terbury down. “It’s a hard thing to bear,” Palm- er said. While a lot of learnings will be taken out of this season, for Palm- er and his crew, that doesn’t make it any easier right now. Mid Canterbury headed into Saturday’s game against North Otago knowing they needed to win both that game, and their last round match against Wairarapa Bush, to have any chance of mak- ing the top eight.
