Rugby in the sun at Methven today. It may seem untrue but Methven was a weather utopia when the 2nd XV went up against Mid Canterbury Combined. The final score was STC 19 - 7. Our coats and umbrellas were left in the bus! A deserved win to STC ... in a very "stop-start" match.
Cheers, Biggsie.

Football - first XI vs Papanui. After a slow start the boys struck their form and had a half time score of 5 - nil. Final score on this wet night was 6 - nil. Batteries went flat in second half.
Cheers, Biggsie.

Basketball - An enormous win at home last night when the first V came up against Rangiora. Final Score: STC 79 vs Rangiora 75. It is also great to see other photographers getting into the action - love it Nate!
Cheers, Biggsie.

2nd XV Rugby - STC boys "on-fire" at home vs Cashmere Combined. Final score STC 54 - Cashmere 5. The boys were literally flying through the air at times. Cheers, Biggsie.

Your First XV to take on MBC tomorrow in Blenheim!!

Football - 1st XI vs Rangiora.
After the game started with Rangiora getting one up the tension was ON. Once STC adapted to Rangiora's game-plan the tables turned. Final score STC 3 vs Rangiora - 1.
A great game of strategy. Cheers, Biggsie.

Over the course of the past couple of months, the college has fielded a small team of cyclists who have been competing every Wednesday along Old Tai Tapu Road, against other schools from Christchurch. The boys have been tracking well, with some commendable placings in the most recent round of the Scotty Brown's TTT Series. A special mention to Year 12 student Ben Broomhall, who has been competing for STC for a number of years now and is this year leading the rest of the group who are in their first season of competition. Well done to all the boys on their efforts.

Congratulations to the following men for making this weeks Honours Board!!!
