THE CHANCE to create history in a<br />
Moascar Cup challenge, and the potential<br />
continuation of this year’s fairy-tale<br />
story, headline the ninth round of the UC<br />
Championship.<br />
On Monday Shirley Boys’ High have<br />
a chance to secure the Moascar Cup for<br />
the first time in school history with a rare<br />
challenge against Nelson College.<br />
<strong>The</strong> challengers have won five of their<br />
last six UC Championship games with<br />
their only loss being to Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High 17-19.<br />
While SBHS may not be having one<br />
of the vintage seasons that saw them<br />
make back-to-back finals in 2015 and<br />
2016, they will face an anything but<br />
vintage Nelson College which have<br />
struggled with losses to Marlborough<br />
Boys’ College, Rangiora High and St<br />
Bede’s College. Nelson College will<br />
come into the clash on the back of a<br />
busy schedule at the annual quadrangular<br />
tournament where they went<br />
down to Wanganui Collegiate 13-19 on<br />
Monday before thrashing Wellington<br />
College 40-0 yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament was won by Christ’s<br />
College after they defeated Wanganui<br />
33-7 in the final yesterday. Meanwhile,<br />
Lincoln Combined are back on home<br />
turf when they look to continue their<br />
great run of form which has them<br />
Armstrong gets maiden<br />
formula three victory<br />
MARCUS ARMSTRONG continues<br />
to raise his profile as one of the world’s<br />
most talented up-and-coming open wheel<br />
drivers.<br />
Armstrong, 17, recorded three podium<br />
finishes, including a maiden victory at the<br />
weekend, to shoot to the top of the formula<br />
three European championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third stop of the championship<br />
took drivers to the Norisring street circuit<br />
in Nuremberg, Germany. Armstrong won<br />
the opening race of the weekend from<br />
pole to record his first win in the championship.<br />
He backed that up with a second place<br />
finish in race two which gave him the<br />
overall points lead in the championship.<br />
In race three, Armstrong led for the early<br />
part of the race but struggled for grip<br />
sitting third in the championship. On Saturday<br />
they face slow-starters St Andrew’s<br />
College. STAC have taken it up a gear<br />
in the last month to win four straight. If<br />
they are to make a late play-off run, a win<br />
is a must here with their final four games<br />
coming against CBHS, SBHS, Christ’s<br />
and St Bede’s.<br />
Round nine: TBHS v Mid-Canterbury<br />

in the later stages which saw him fall to<br />
third position. “My goal for this weekend<br />
was to score as many points as possible.<br />
However, I didn’t expect to be on the<br />
podium here three times and to be taking<br />
the lead in the drivers’ standings,” said<br />
Armstrong.<br />
After nine races of the 30-race championship,<br />
Armstrong is on 101 points – one<br />
point ahead of British racer Dan Ticktum.<br />
<strong>The</strong> championship is a proven path to<br />
formula one – 2016 winner Lance Stoll<br />
now drives for Williams-Mercedes in<br />
formula one, while 2016 champion Lando<br />
Norris currently lead the formula two<br />
championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next three races in the championship<br />
are in Zandvoort Netherland from<br />
July 14-15.<br />
