Last week, the achievements of two local referees were recognised at the Canterbury Rugby Football Union’s referee prize giving, held in the Christchurch RSA. Glenn Peddie Glenn Peddie Glenn Peddie Glenn Peddie managed to surpass his array of awards from the previous year (Personality of the Year and Most Improved of the Year, as well as accomplishing one of the highest scores in the law exam). Glenn’s commitment to such an important role within the world of rugby earned him the ultimate title of Ellesmere’s No 1 Referee. Kirwee’s Ross AymesRoss AymesRoss AymesRoss Aymes was also recognised when he was awarded the distinguished CRRA President’s Trophy. This trophy represents a Canterbury wide award and is presented to a member who has made a significant contribution to Canterbury Referees. This year, Ross was not only elected as Convenor for the Ellesmere region of Canterbury Rugby Referees; he also took on the role of Appointments Officer for the Ellesmere region when the other person in this role had to step aside due to illness. The ap p o i n t me n t o f f i c e r i s responsible for appointing referees to all games in

Ellesmere. A role which is extremely busy and sometimes challenging, as often it can involve much extra work, especially when referees have to be replaced due to sickness or work. Ross also continued to referee games, as well as coaching and mentoring a number of junior referees. Ross’ passion for the sport is apparent by the enormous amounts he gives back to the Canterbury Rugby Union, making the award a well-deserved appreciation of his efforts.

While Hororata’s Harry Cookson Harry Cookson Harry Cookson Harry Cookson expressed a little bit of disappointment at his Turoa run in the finals of the 14 years and under class of the New Zealand Junior Freeride champs it was enough, taking into account his two previous results (at Mt Olympus in early August and The Remarkables, late August) to make him NZ Champion. Another Hororata skier, Henry Freeman Henry Freeman Henry Freeman Henry Freeman also had a good run finishing in fourth place overall at the finals. Freeride skiing has evolved from the snowboarding style of the same name and is performed on natural, un-groomed, terrain, generally without a set course, or rules. The first stage of the Junior Freeride champs for this year began at Mt Olympus - which is Harry and Henry’s home mountain - in early August. Harry came first in this event and Henry was third; “Sadly this event was postponed a day after a nasty injury; a boy from the North Island broke his neck in three places but thankfully is okay,” said Harry’s mother Lucy Cookson.Lucy Cookson.Lucy Cookson.Lucy Cookson. The second event was at The Remarkables in Queenstown (late August) and this event featured a far larger field of competitors. The boys had n e v e r s k i e d a t T h e Remarkables, but skied incredibly well in marginal conditions, resulting in a third

for Harry and a fourth for Henry. The last event was at Turoa and saw the largest group of competitors take part, with skiers coming from throughout the country. The conditions were extremely firm, unlike those the boys were used to skiing at Mt Olympus and Lucy was disappointed not to be able to accompany Harry to Turoa. However his Uncle, Rick Rick Rick Rick Cookson Cookson Cookson Cookson stepped into the b r e a c h , o f f e r i n g h i m encouragement all the way. At the completion of the Turoa leg Harry was fifth and Henry sixth, but on aggregate that put Harry in the lead and Henry at fourth place - an amazing result for two Hororata boys. This past week the boys have been in Wanaka preparing for the Junior Nationals at Cardrona which start next week. They are competing in a variety of disciplines (racing, freeride, free ski, ski cross and halfpipe) and will compete against other juniors in their school year level. “All the kids in the Cookson and Freeman families are competing down in Wanaka, with the

younger ones competing as Hororata School,” Lucy commented. “Also competing here too are RubyRubyRubyRuby and Sam Sam Sam Sam HewittHewittHewittHewitt, the children of ex Darfield Vet Simon Hewitt Simon Hewitt Simon Hewitt Simon Hewitt and his wife TaraTaraTaraTara, who have now moved to the West Coast.” In last year’s event young skier Poppy Freeman Poppy Freeman Poppy Freeman Poppy Freeman (Henry’s sister) performed extremely well at the Junior Nationals and all eyes will be on her to see if she can do the same again. The News congratulates Harry and Henry on their success and wishes all the young skiers the very best in their competitions next week.

For the second successive year Melton Estate and Darfield Bakery have received Excellence Awards for their outstanding Food Control plans. Over the past two years, the Ministry for Primary Industries has teamed with Selwyn District Council to i n t r o d u c e a V o l u n t a r y Implementation Programme (VIP) for food safety. The VIP initiative is a way to introduce and encourage food service b u s i n e s s e s , s u c h a s restaurants, cafes, takeaways and caterers to adopt and implement Food Control Plans.

between March 1st 2016 and the end of their nominated transition period. Both Coalgate and Kirwee Taverns have also been pro-active and established their Food Control Plans before the commencement of the new Act. They have both achieved their first Excellence Award this year.

Selwyn residents will have a rare opportunity next month to view a historic collection of photographs of Indian spiritual and political leader Mahatma Gandhi.Mahatma Gandhi.Mahatma Gandhi.Mahatma Gandhi. The Selwyn Arts Trust, together with Selwyn District Council, is presenting this renowned international photographic exhibition of Gandhi’s life, at venues in Lincoln and Darfield. The extremely rare 34 photos include portraits and informal photographs of Gandhi with his friends, followers and with Nehru, Nehru, Nehru, Nehru, Jinnah Jinnah Jinnah Jinnah and other major political leaders of the Indian independence movement. The photographs span all aspects of Gandhi’s life, showing him at home in quiet villages, at public gatherings and at formal political meetings, giving the public an extraordinary opportunity to see further into the lifestyle of this great man. Many in India and abroad hailed Gandhi by the Hindu title ‘Mahatma’ meaning great soul. Gandhi trained as a lawyer until 1895 when he was invited to be an advisor to an Indian firm in South Africa. During this time he became a politician, journalist, and a leading figure in the Indian community which was being increasingly subjected to social and legal discrimination on racial grounds. Also during this time he began to perfect ‘satyagraha’ - a form of non-violent protest in times of conflict for which he remains well-known today. “Gandhi was a figure of historic importance to our world, who led the Indian independence movement,” said Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe.Mayor Kelvin Coe.Mayor Kelvin Coe.Mayor Kelvin Coe. “The values of peace and tolerance that Gandhi personified are universal.” The exhibition will open on Gandhi’s birthday, Friday, October 2nd, at 7pm. Limited tickets

to the opening event are available. The public exhibition will be on display free of charge at the Lincoln Event Centre during the weekends of Saturday and Sunday, October 3rd and 4th and from Friday, October 9th until Sunday, October 11th. The exhibition is open from 9am to 4pm.

A great day was had by all at the Cour tenay A & P showgrounds on Sunday, September 27th when Parent to Parent Greater Canterbury hosted over 110 people at a fun event. These are families living with disabilities and it was a wonderful opportunity for some fun and friendship on a Spring afternoon. There were rides on the Darfield Fire Brigade Fire Engine, and on a traction engine, plus gumboot throwing competitions, treasure hunts, bouncy castles, pet lambs and calves, as well as treats in the haystack, a sausage sizzle and ice-cream! Organisers of the event are extremely grateful for the financial support of the Malvern Lions - who ensured that that afternoon was indeed a lot of fun and friendship. Children hunt for haystack treats!

Patrick Williams, Sebastian Williams, Laura Ashworth, Rochelle Waters, Sophie Williams, Evan Field and his parents

get involved with gumboot throwing - much fun for all!

BBQ (10am - 2pm) ● Amazing Opening Specials

Mark Saturday, October 10th on the calendar because it’s the day Harvey World Travel celebrates its arrival into the Selwyn District with their new store, located beside The Warehouse in Rolleston. Harvey World Travel is the only true independent franchised travel agent where stores are 1 0 0 % owne d by t he operators. Operators who support their communities by offering first class travel solutions. This new Rolleston store will be no different, with owners SueSueSueSue and Paul Paul Paul Paul RobinsonRobinsonRobinsonRobinson, ha i l ing from Selwyn’s, Kirwee. The new store is the second to be owned by the Robinsons who purchased the Blenheim store in November last year. “We started the Harvey World journey with Rolleston in mind,” Sue commented. “However the lack of available retail space meant we had to tread water for awhile. Rolleston Square has always been our desired location, but we just had to be patient.

The store officially opens on October 7th but on the 10th there will be suppliers on hand to showcase their products. More FM will be in attendance with face painting and colouring in to keep children occupied, freeing up their parents to talk travel. A barbecue will operate between 10am and 2pm. “October marks UK and Europe on Sale, so it really makes the most sense to open when we know the prices will be really competitive. We have some amazing opening specials, and those, along with our outstanding staff makes us excited to be able to serve our local community. Whether it is business or leisure travel, finally Rolleston has a travel agent,” Sue concluded.

See advertisement below.See advertisement below.See advertisement below.See advertisement below.

When Blenheim came up, we jumped at it, and while the travel away from home has been hard, we knew that one day we would get there with Rolleston. Finally that day is coming.” In Blenheim the Robinsons support local Volunteer Fire Brigades with a portion of each sale going to them, and they plan to do the same in Selwyn. “We are firm believers in giving back to the community that support us,” Sue stressed. “There are so many deserving charities, but the Fire Brigade is close to my heart as a volunteer at Kirwee,” Paul commented. “So we are sticking with that and are proud to be able to financially support the seven brigades in Marlborough and eleven in Selwyn.”

They represented Darfield and the Canterbury District well with some outstanding results.

The team was placed third in communications and first in first aid two. Kathryn competed as a senior individual and was placed third in Communications and written, second in caregivers and first in first aid one and first aid two. This made her the runner up for overall aggregate! A fabulous and commendable result. Kathryn was also in the Canterbury District Colour Party.

Numerous nominations were received but West Melton’s Helen Coker Helen Coker Helen Coker Helen Coker is one of only five to make it as a finalist in the 2015 Gardena Gardener of the year competition. The motivation for her garden creation is equally as amazing as the garden itself. Helen and husband, Brian Coker Brian Coker Brian Coker Brian Coker were originally based in Christchurch where their garden boasted an extensive array of flowers and plants. The pair had always been keen gardeners and enjoyed the closeness it brought to their relationship and the beauty it brought to their home. Then suddenly, their lives changed forever when Brian was trapped in the collapsed Cambridge Terrace, PGC building, during the February 2011 earthquake. His saviours - two doctors, a police officer and a firefighter had no option but to perform a horrendous amputation to free Brian from the wreckage. His legs were now gone from just above the knee. Brian returned home after a long recovery and found their Chr istchurch house was incompatible with the wheelchair

he now needed to negotiate his way through the home. The Cokers made the decision to build a new home in West Melton, specific to Brian's needs. It was at this new home that Helen worked tirelessly to create her husband’s dream garden. It has taken her e i g h t e e n m o n t h s o f determination and hard work to complete it and she has done most of it on her own - including the heavy lifting and planting that was previously Brian’s role. To show his appreciation for her efforts, Brian nominated Helen for NZ Gardener’s annual G a r d ener o f t he Year Competition. Brian is Helen’s b ig g es t sup p o r t e r and commented, “there’s been so

much focus on me for the past five years, but Helen has given up so much for me.” Brian is now able to help out more in the garden. “The garden is important to us,” Helen said. “There’s a lot that Brian and I used to do together which we can’t do now. This is one thing that we were determined to still enjoy as a couple.” The Gardena Gardener of the Year winner is selected by online public vote and the results of this, wil l be announced in the December issue.

Glentunnel School has attracted huge support from farmers who chose to nominate the school for the Hatuma Growing Minds Fund. Glentunnel School Principal at the time, Chris Chris Chris Chris Bascand,Bascand,Bascand,Bascand, commented that the 112 children school relies on the support of the community. “Rural schools are an integral part of the community and we work on our relationships with farmers and local businesses. Every little bit helps and we appreciate the support of Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate.” Usually, catering lunches and morning tea at the local sale yards is the main way Glentunnel school raises money for extra resources. Canterbury’s rural primary schools have been given a welcome boost to resources, thanks to the support of local farmers and fertiliser company, Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate Ltd. Farmers throughout New Zealand are invited to support Hatuma’s ‘Growing Minds’ fund by nominating a school and in return Hatuma donates money from the fund to that school. It’s business as usual for the farmers but it gives rural schools some extra cash for resources. Over the last six years Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate has donated over $30,000 to New Zealand

rural schools through the programme. Their extra funding has enabled Glentunnel to purchase more sports gear and math's equipment. Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate Field Representative, Nigel Nigel Nigel Nigel W i lson, W i lson, W i lson, W i lson, who has three daughters at Glentunnel School, said the feedback about the initiative has been really positive. “Rural primary schools are the cent re o f our count ry communities and farmers have enjoyed providing support. The Hatuma Growing Minds Fund has been set up in a way that farmers can carry on business

as usual and their local school benefits. So it’s a win for everyone.” Nigel added that the Hatuma Growing Minds Fund also gives farmers who don’t have children at the school, an opportunity to support their rural school. “With traditional funding for rural schools lessening, we feel we have a role to play as a rural business, focussed on our community. We want to show our support for the next generation of rural New Zealanders. It costs our customers nothing extra and it's Hatuma's way of giving back to the community,” Nigel ended.

Selwyn District Council has taken ownership of the forest and Darfield ratepayers pay a levy to support it. As readers will recall, some debate occurred when the original 1.5km track from Horndon Street (the Darfield end) to Homebush Road (at the west end) was upgraded. Since then a wide range of regular users and visitors enjoy it (folk can now can admire the forest and birdlife without the previous danger of tripping over tree roots). After the heavy winter snow the main track and a new ‘loop’ track became impassable, however volunteers got stuck in and cleared it as quickly as possible. Early in winter, Cr. Sam Sam Sam Sam Broughton Broughton Broughton Broughton in i t ia ted the formation of the second parallel (loop) dirt track - which is now complete, raked and levelled. User feedback has been extremely positive and it is pleasing to see just how many people have been using it during development and most say they are already regular visitors. It is now complete, having been raked, cleared and levelled. The

loop track branches off the main track close to the Horndon Street carpark. It generally runs parallel and re-joins the main track fifty metres before Homebush Road. Both tracks measure 1.5 kilometres from one end to the other - so a full loop is 3km. A 250 metre joining track connects them both at about the halfway point. As summer approaches it’s expected forest usage will increase significantly with walkers, runners and cyclists of all ages. Volunteers have also tried to make McHugh’s ‘pushchair-friendly’. It’s also worth noting that more users should lead to increased safety, and prompt alerting (e.g. fire warning). Simultaneously with overseeing the new track development, Les Les Les Les Hurford Hurford Hurford Hurford has been coordinating the effort to plant hundreds of replacement Douglas fir trees in areas that were unfortunately c leared by a prev ious administration. They will reach the size of the current forest in the year 2138. McHugh’s Forest is a Douglas fir (Oregon) plantation, which was planted in 1893. It contains several other types (Pine, Oak, and

Macrocarpa to name a few). Trees of this age are substantial in both height and girth and have become home to a wide range of birds. Those responsible for this d ev e lo p m en t ho p e t he community will value and enjoy this asset.

AQer a long and inclement winter,

Darfield Garden Club Spring Show

on September 15th was a

cheerful introduc�on to Spring.

Many members had thought that

their spring gardens were a wee

later than usual and perhaps

there were not going to be many

entries. However of course all

members had been carefully

tending their gardens and wow

was there a show!

There was a beau�ful array of yellow from the Daffodils, the Tulips were a bit a thin on

the ground, but there was a wonderful display from other classes, with the Camellias,

blossom and shrubs in wonderful bloom. The Dr Avery cup for Premier Daffodil was

won by Cynthia Bishell and the Premier Bloom was taken away by a stunning Camellia

from Margaret Seaton's garden. The most points for cut flowers was a close run

compe��on between Margaret Seaton, Jackie Hill and Carol Williams.

The floral Art sec�on was won by Kate Campbell. The speaker for the aQernoon was

Steve Busch from 'Trees for Canterbury', who was both very entertaining and

knowledgeable. Trees for Canterbury are situated at Charlesworth St (off Ferry Road)

Christchurch and he was known to some members as they had helped with

plan�ngs in Tussock Square, some year ago. Trees for Canterbury was established

in 1990 and their three main objec�ves are to Employ, Educate and Regenerate.

They donate around 45,000 trees to community plan�ngs every year, ge�ng

communi�es involved in the beau�fica�on of their local areas. They are big on

recycling and now recycle milk cartons and in turn make their own paper,

prin�ng with simple New Zealand inspired designs for cards and envelopes.

Garden Club members were encouraged to support Trees for Canterbury by

visi�ng them and purchasing plants for the garden. AQer some friendly

banter and laughter over the 'benefits' of plan�ng certain shrubs those

aPending shared aQernoon tea whilst admiring the beau�ful flowers

of Spring. Darfield Garden Club meets every third Tuesday, either

for mee�ngs or for ou�ngs.

For further info contact the Secretary 03 317 9427.

Kris McLeish Kris McLeish Kris McLeish Kris McLeish is planning an epic 245km run to raise funds for the New Zealand Heart Foundation. This mammoth challenge will begin in Kumara (November 5th) (south of Greymouth), travel along the Great Alpine Highway, through Springfield, Sheffield Darfield (November 7th), Kirwee and West Melton to the final destination in Christchurch. The run will be completed over three days and Kris is inviting people to join him along the route. There are many folk that intend to do this from points along the Highway, with runners from Waddington, Kirwee, Darfield and a large contingent from West Melton having already indicated they will join him for the final part of his journey, which will finish at New Brighton Beach. Kris not only wants to raise money for the New Zealand He ar t F oundat ion , h i s emphasis is also on making people rethink their lifestyles, and with good reason. His brother, Scott, died of a massive heart attack on February 4th last year, at the age of only 38, leaving behind a wife and young twins. Scott’s children were born in August the previous year. His son spent 217 days in the neonatal unit of Christchurch Hospital, and his daughter spent 38 days in Christchurch Women's Hospital. “Scott spent nearly every night nursing his son in hospital, right up till he passed away. He was able to spend time with his daughter at home, but never had that pleasure with his son. You don’t realise how much people care about you and how much you would be missed if you were not here ,” Kr is commented. The McLeish family’s tragic loss is representative of the huge number of people dying each year from heart related issues. Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke and blood vessel disease) is still the leading cause of death in New Zealand, accounting for 30% of deaths annually. “I'm not doing the run to draw attention to me. I'm doing it to draw attention to the Heart Foundation and their great work and for you to

ask the question of yourself and your own health. I've learnt a lot lately and have spent many long runs reflecting on life and the things that are really important.” Kris has not always been this current picture of health and has drastically changed his lifestyle, going from 115kg down to 82kg. He has not found the process easy but believes that everyone is capable of making positive life changes to be proactive in preventing heart problems. On the run he will be supported by an army-style truck complete with large canopy. Anyone who donates can have their logo/name printed on the canopy - the larger the donation the bigger t he pr i nt ! The Hea r t Foundation is a great organisation that works very hard to help many New Zealanders live the life they deserve. “If you're kind enough to donate, feel free to write a message in the comments section when you donate, for a loved one you may have lost or that may be battling heart disease,” Kris ended. Kris is aiming to raise $20,000 and is nearly at the halfway mark.

The Agri-Women's Development Trust (AWDT) builds women's business, leadership and governance skills through programmes and support delivered New Zealand wide, in partnership with industry. Recently they celebrated the developing of skills and confidence of over 1,000 women in five years of operation. Georgie Harper, Georgie Harper, Georgie Harper, Georgie Harper, jointly manages local sheep, beef, deer and cropping farm, Quartz Hill Station in the Rakaia Gorge with her husband and parents. She is also a graduate of AWDT’s course: Understanding your Farming Business. Georgie was raised on the Quartz Hill family Station and has always wanted to farm there. Following school in Christchurch and a BA at Otago, Georgie undertook post graduate study at Lincoln University in the area of Farming Management and Marketing. A four year stint for ANZCO foods followed, until an opportunity arose in 2012 to part-manage the family farm with her husband. Georgie enrolled in the Understanding your Farming Business as she believes it is important to foster personal growth, as well as keep up with the latest technology and industry news. She describes the course as a wonderful foundation to all aspects involved in a farming business, while providing an opportunity to meet other women in a similar situation. She also credits the course with giving her the confidence to bring her own ideas into the business; “Women have a lot to offer in the agricultural sector and a lot of the time all we need to do is have the confidence to start being involved, as well as a partner who is willing to listen.” Speaking at the recent celebration in Well ington attended by more than 130 people, Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy Nathan Guy Nathan Guy Nathan Guy thanked

the Trust for its work in creating 'vital behaviour change and confidence'. "The huge role women play in the primary sec t o r sho u ld no t b e underestimated - they are the s i len t he roes and b ig achievers." The enthusiasm and demand for the AWDT courses is apparent in the growth of participants. Beginning with eleven in its first year, the Trust now has 500 women per year participating in its programmes. Programmes which also cater to women who are not fully involved in farming, giving them the skills to break down barriers and get involved with their partners livelihood in a positive manner. More than 200 farming women are now measuring and

m o n i t o r i n g t h e i r f a r m performance and improving profitability as a result of the Trust's Understanding Your Farming Business programme. While Georgie finds it hard to be in a position to leave the day to day running of the farm to go on a course, with forward planning and organisation she hopes to enrol in further classes as soon as practicable. “Keeping up with personal development, as well as ongoing technology and industry news is extremely important to us,” she said. Georgie added; “If you are passionate about it, do it. There is no reason why women cannot farm either individually or alongside men.”

The Canterbury Country Premier Cricket competition is set to start with a full round of matches on Saturday, October 3rd with a new sponsor on board. CRV Ambreed is the new partner for the season which will now be known as the CRV Ambreed Country Premier competition. The competition sees the best cricketers from throughout the Country area compete for the Fulton Wright Cup. Five clubs from the Ellesmere, Malvern area and three from North Canterbury make up the grade. Last year combined senior grade winners, Sefton, will again be the team to beat with new player/coach, Matt Laffey Matt Laffey Matt Laffey Matt Laffey running the team. Previous winners of the Fulton W r i g h t C u p , L e e s t o n /Southbridge, also look to have a strong team when all key players are available. Country reps Toby DoyleToby DoyleToby DoyleToby Doyle, Mitch RossMitch RossMitch RossMitch Ross, Sam Baxter Sam Baxter Sam Baxter Sam Baxter and Harry Harry Harry Harry Chamberlain Chamberlain Chamberlain Chamberlain give the team a formidable look with former Co un t r y p l ay e r J e r emy J e r emy J e r emy J e r emy Winchester Winchester Winchester Winchester captaining the side. Former Nelson representative Tim Field Tim Field Tim Field Tim Field filled in at times last season but is available for the full season this year. Missing this season are Club stalwart Mike SheatMike SheatMike SheatMike Sheat, former Country under age player, Karl Winter Karl Winter Karl Winter Karl Winter and Co un t ry r ep Sam Sam Sam Sam Chamberlain Chamberlain Chamberlain Chamberlain who has decided to focus on rugby with the Makos franchise over the summer months.

Weedons are a side full of experience and are again likely to be competition contenders when the points are added at the end of the season. Club stalwarts Shannon Dunnett Shannon Dunnett Shannon Dunnett Shannon Dunnett and Paul Rugg Paul Rugg Paul Rugg Paul Rugg are again likely to feature as are last season captain Josh WatsonJosh WatsonJosh WatsonJosh Watson, leading wicket-taker Devon Nightingale Devon Nightingale Devon Nightingale Devon Nightingale and batsman Sam WilsonSam WilsonSam WilsonSam Wilson. Losses from last season are Mike Fleming Mike Fleming Mike Fleming Mike Fleming who has moved to Hawkes Bay and Dan Fleming Dan Fleming Dan Fleming Dan Fleming on the injured list. Likely semi-finalists, Lincoln have made some impressive player gains this season with the most impressive being Canterbury contracted player, Kyle Jamieson Kyle Jamieson Kyle Jamieson Kyle Jamieson from St Albans. Country player, Henry ShipleyHenry ShipleyHenry ShipleyHenry Shipley, started his career with Greendale after finishing secondary school last Christmas and is likely to be the Club’s mainstay for many years to come. Long serving Club members Regan Dalley Regan Dalley Regan Dalley Regan Dalley and Riley Wilson Riley Wilson Riley Wilson Riley Wilson are back for another season and new players have been acquired from Darfield High School. Greendale have a solid look about them and are likely to upset a few of the more favoured sides during the season. Southbrook is chock full of Country players and should be hard to beat when at full strength. Their top order includes Jack BoyleJack BoyleJack BoyleJack Boyle, Shanon Shanon Shanon Shanon StewartStewartStewartStewart, Ash AndrewsAsh AndrewsAsh AndrewsAsh Andrews, Matt Matt Matt Matt BrineBrineBrineBrine, Andrew Robertson Andrew Robertson Andrew Robertson Andrew Robertson and Tony Hancox Tony Hancox Tony Hancox Tony Hancox and although some will be lost to Country fixtures
