Avonside claim fourth at SI netball tournament • By Jacob Page AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High School finished fourth in the combined year 9 and 10 grade at the South Island junior netball tournament at Hagley Park last week. Avonside went through pool play unbeaten, taking down Golden Bay High 36-20, South Westland School 39-2 and Cromwell College 34-19 to comfortably top their group. Their unbeaten run continued in the round of 16 games, when they beat Catholic Cathedral College 46-16 and South Otago High School 36-12 to again top their group heading into the quarter-finals. Avonside prevailed in their tightest contest yet to make the semi-finals, thanks to a 27-21 win over Buller High School. The final-four match against Papanui High proved a step too far for the team and they were beaten 37-13 for their first loss of the tournament. The third and fourth play-off was more competitive against Gore High, but Gore eventually prevailed 30-22. It was the tournament’s 22nd year at Hagley Park. AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High School cyclist Amelia Sykes continued to show she is one to watch in the future by winning the under-16 individual time trial at the South Island road championships at Ruapuna Raceway last week.
