High Fives for Team the Big Picture the Dicey Weather Predicted for the Kapiti Coast Came to Nothing When the NISS Orienteering Champs Were Held There in the Holidays Issue No 531 7th May 2018 High Fives For Team The Big Picture The dicey weather predicted for the Kapiti Coast came to nothing when the NISS orienteering Champs were held there in the holidays. This was probably due to the heat provided by the Tidswell siblings representing HNHS during the three day event. Under pressure in their respective grades due to both being the hottest of favourites, they responded well by taking out four individual titles between them. Will was im- pressive, destroying the intermediate field of 80 in the sprint run at Kapiti College, and again in the long course held in the sand-dune forest at Waiterere Beach by four minutes. He topped it off in the senior relay by teaming up with Thomas Culham and Blake Campbell to win by two minutes over Mt Albert Grammar at QE Park at Paekakariki. Running last, he even gave the senior NISS champion from MAGS a minute start, before not only overtaking him, but putting time on him before the finish. Jenna did it tougher, with two nar- row wins, 14 seconds in the sprint and 17 seconds in the long, after which she described her performance as horrid. Too close for comfort when racing for an hour. She teamed up with Amy Culham and Aishlin McIntyre to finish third in the senior girls relay. The other podium finish came in the intermediate girls relay where Lily Stephens, Phoebe Till and Rani Williams were delighted to finish 2nd, despite not having their top runner, Amy Culham, who ran senior. Other top 10 finishers were, Thomas Culham (SB sprint) 6th and 8th in long, Aishlin McIntyre (SG sprint) 10th and 9th in the long. Blake Campbell did a remarkable job of finishing Kapiti Island sits in the background as the HNHS senior boys team of Will Tidswell, Blake Campbell and Thomas 10th in the senior boys long as did Alex Miller in senior girls.

  • Rugby World Cup Final (93KB)
    New Zealand beat Australia to retain Rugby World Cup New Zealand held off a fierce Australian comeback to win a thrilling World Cup final and become the first team to retain their title. Wonderful tries from Nehe Milner-Skudder and Ma'a Nonu had given the All Blacks a 21-3 lead early in the second half before David Pocock and Tevita Kuridrani struck back. With 15 minutes to go there were just four points in it, but a nerveless long-distance drop-goal and penalty from Dan Carter snatched back control. And when replacement Beauden Barrett sprinted away on to Ben Smith's clearing kick at the death, history was made, with New Zealand also becoming the first three-time champions of the world. The achievement is a fitting farewell to their phalanx of retiring greats. Carter was outstanding under a ferocious Wallaby assault, landing 19 points from the tee, and his captain Richie McCaw was not far behind as their side was tested to the limit. They have been the outstanding side of this generation, and once again found a way to win when the heat came on from their great trans-Tasman rivals. The All Blacks came out at pace, McCaw smashing opposite number Michael Hooper, Wallabies' skipper Stephen Moore bloodied in the face and Carter curling over a testing penalty from out wide for 3-0 before Bernard Foley's simpler effort levelled it up. Australia were targeting the great fly-half, Scott Sio lucky to escape a yellow card for a late hit and Sekope Kepu giving away a penalty for a high tackle that Carter popped over to retake the lead.
