CHRISTCHURCH v SUMNER

At Christchurch Park: Christchurch 32 (Mark Abbott 2, Tino Elisari, Angus Middleton tries; Brook Retallick 3 conv, 2 pen) beat Sumner 17 (Michael Cavanagh, Andre Pakau, Kevin Marriner tries; Solomona Paraki conv). HT: 25-5. Referee: James Munro. Sinbin: Tom Manley (Sumner).

Christchurch effectively had the game won when they raced out to a 25-5 half-time lead with good forward aggression and first-five Brook Retallick directing play to his side's advantage. However, both teams made changes at the break and progressively early in the half with the result that the game lost some of its structure.

Sumner tightened its defence and scavenged better with the scoreboard not being called upon again until the 70^th minute. To its credit Sumner finished with a flurry of 12 points in the last 10min to salvage some respectability.

Christchurch started strongly with a wealth of front foot possession which put No.8 Mark Abbott over for the first of his two tries after 15min. A strong forward drive to the line following a good line out take produced the second when wing Tino Elisari entered the line and showed speed to score close to the posts for Retallick to convert.

Another 7 points were added when blind-side flanker Angus Middleton latched on to a well weighted grubber kick from fullback Sam Monaghan to dot down. Sumner opened its scoring just before half-time with a good try to centre Michael Cavanagh following an incisive beak from first-five Solomona Paraki which had split the defence.

Both sides battled hard in early in the second half before a sustained attack on the Sumner line by the red-and-blacks produced Abbott's second try in the 70^th minute.

Sumner finished with a flourish in the final 10min with two tries, the first to fullback Andre Pakau, who glided into the backline finishing a good movement of the ball and the second to replacement Kevin Marriner with Paraki adding the extra points.

Christchurch's forwards were all capable of carrying front foot ball with loose forwards Abbott and Middleton to the fore and receiving good support from lock Joel Everson. Retallick directed play well and outsidehim Steve Alfeld had a sound game.

Lineouts were one area of the game where Sumner competed well where they had their locks,Tom Manley and Reid Bradford, to thank. Both Paraki and Pakau were elusive and speedy runners when they received the ball with space to move.

The weather gods smiled on the Sumner Rugby Club as the sun shone brightly for their 125th Jubilee celebrations.

An invitational golf tournament kicked off festivities, with former Div 1 Coach John Tainui and his team taming the Ferrymead course to take the honours.

All teams were home on Saturday , and a bumper crowd was on hand to watch the two Wave Teams in action against Lincoln Uni.

The Division 2 side began in style with a classy win against the previously unbeaten Lincoln side, however the Division 1 side

was unable to follow suit, a 25- all draw , a relatively fair reflection of what was an entertaining match.

That night Justin Marshall and Scott Robertson regaled the crowd at the Gala Dinner with tales of their exploits in the AllBlacks jersey

while club historian Gordon Mitchell provided rare insights into Sumner Rugbys colourful past.

On Sunday another huge crowd assembled at St Leonards Square to enjoy thecarnival like atmosphere while watching the

Wave Legends play the Scott Robertson Invitational XV.With recognisable figures including Robertson and Marshall,Mark McAtamaney,

Simon Forrest and Matt Sexton the invitational side was always going to be tough to beat, and the competitive edge soon came out

in these highly experienced players.But the legends team held their own , with club greats such as Matt Pringle,Matt Fitzgerald and

Ben Jones showing they still have what it takes.For the record, the Scott Robertson invitational side ran out 22-19 victors, but the

opportunity to share tall tales with old friends afterward was the real purpose of the event. Mr C Bar
