The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, June 22, 2021 WORLD 13 Despite Covid, crowds go to Stonehenge for solstice LONDON — Hundreds of people ignored advice not to travel to Stonehenge for the annual summer solstice celebrations, which were cancelled on Monday due to coronavirus concerns. English Heritage, which looks after the Neolithic monument, had planned a live feed of the sunrise at Stonehenge for the second year in a row. But the organisation said that programme had to be interrupted because of safety concerns after “a number of people have chosen to disregard our request to not travel to the stones this morning”. Thousands of people who tuned in to watch the sunrise at the stones online ended up watching pre- recorded footage before the live feed returned around 5am. Video from Britain’s PA news agency and elsewhere showed dozens of people gathering inside the stone circle, with some scaling a low fence to climb inside the restricted area to reach the stones. Some were seen dancing and others held a banner that read “Standing for Stonehenge”. English Heritage said it was “disappointing” to see people “act in a way that put themselves, our staff and the police at risk” during a pandemic. The summer solstice typically draws tens of thousands of people to the stone circle in southern England to celebrate the longest day of the year.

The sweet sound of multiple marimbas emanated from Gisborne’s Unity Theatre last week as the Aurora Drama group rehearsed for their upcoming performance, Manaakitia Papatuanuku (Perform Me a Poem). Here Honor Phillips and Alia Sims concentrate on getting the notes right as they practise on their marimbas. The Aurora Drama group is made up of children from 11 Gisborne city and rural schools selected because of their abilities in the performing arts and high literacy levels. Under the guidance of specialist music teacher Michelle Hall, they have crafted a performance based on the works of poet Hone Tuwhare and other New Zealand-inspired poetry. The show is made up of four poems set to music, accompanied by movement, and is on for family and friends at Unity Theatre tomorrow. Picture by Rebecca Grunwell

The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, June 22, 2021 SPORT 25 ‘Uphill battle’ in 36-0 loss Good-quality rugby in difficult conditions: Rotorua coach RUGBY by Ben O’Brien-Leaf THE Super 8 has always been as tough as any secondary schools rugby competition in New Zealand. A Gisborne Boys’ High School first 15 as dedicated as any has struck three opponents at the top of their game — Palmerston North BHS, Napier BHS and Rotorua BHS — in a row in the last month. RBHS beat Gisborne Boys’ 36-0 here on Saturday to retain the Craig Callaghan Memorial Trophy for the third straight year since its presentation here, and record their second S8 win of the season. Raukura led GBHS 21-0 at half time on Saturday, with the Nathaniel Hauiti- led hosts fighting as hard in Game 3 as they did in the 10-30 loss to Palmerston North and the 20-27 result versus Napier. The home team is gutsy and their forwards’ improvement at the scrum (they took a first-half tighthead against a solid RBHS pack) is something real, alongside their obvious passion, that they can be proud of. PNBHS, NBHS and RBHS are classy outfits and the expansive nature of their rugby here was remarkable. Gisborne flankers Dylan Bronlund and Ben Phelps have made as many cover tackles as head-on tackles three games into the competition, and Rotorua’s willingness to shift and use the ball as well as they did speaks volumes about the vision of their assistant coach and backs coach Ruki Tipuna, whose in-game energy has rubbed off on his charges.

SAN DIEGO — Two weeks after testing positive to Covid-19, Jon Rahm has won the 121st US Open in a dramatic climax at Torrey Pines for his maiden major trophy. Two monumental birdie putts clinched it as the pre-tournament favourite became the first Spaniard to win the US Open. Rahm posted a closing four-under-par 67 to finish with a six-under 278 total and consign Louis Oosthuizen to his sixth major championship runner-up finish. Rahm birdied his final two holes to match the lowest round of the day and snatch victory by a shot from third-round co-leader Oosthuizen. Trailing Oosthuizen by a shot when he stepped to the 17th tee, Rahm tied for the lead with a 24-foot birdie putt on the par-4.
