Clutha on top as round two begins

PHOTO: KAYLA ANN PHOTOGRAPHY The Southern Region premier club competition starts its second round this weekend with most teams still in the running for a top-four spot. Clutha sit comfortably on top of the table after a near-perfect first round. Clutha were unbeaten in round one and have 34 points out of an available 35. They locked away the South Otago Banner and Springbok Horns last weekend in their win over Toko at Milton. Clutha head to Swamp Hen Park this weekend to take on an Owaka side who managed to secure their first win of the season last weekend against Lawrence. The Art Bloxham Cup is on the line with Clutha going into the match as heavy favourites. The Heriot Rugby Club celebrates its 140th jubilee this weekend with an action-packed weekend of rugby planned. The Heriot premier side have hit a purple patch of form and now have two wins on the bounce and sit just outside the top four. Their last-gasp win over Crescent last weekend showed a resilience that perhaps has been lacking in recent seasons. Heriot take on Lawrence in the main event tomorrow, with the West Otago Shield up for grabs. Lawrence are the only side not to record a win in round one of competition. Crescent are in the middle of a form slump with two losses in a row. The Kaitangata-based side lost a close match in Heriot last weekend which saw them lose track of the teams in front of them. One of those sides, West Taieri, travel to Kaitangata tomorrow in what promises to be a massive clash of two potential semifinalists. West Taieri are coming off a successful jubilee last weekend but know their hard work has only started. Toko host Clutha Valley in the last match of the weekend with Toko favourites to keep their spot in the top four after only their second loss of the season last weekend against Clutha.

Greater Sudbury Cubs split opening weekend at Centennial Cup

The same group of Greater Sudbury Cubs who helped to power their team to a championship-clinching victory in the NOJHL final continued their strong play to start the Centennial Cup national championship in Calgary. Article content Article content Daks Klinkhammer and Logan Moore had two goals each, Nolan Newton recorded four assists and Karsen Chartier made 35 saves, including a highlight behind-the-back grab with his glove as the Cubs defeated the Grande Prairie Storm 6-2 in their round-robin opener at Max Bell Centre on Friday night. Article content Article content Ryan Rubic and Noah Kohan also scored for the Cubs, who led 1-0 after one period and 4-2 after 40 minutes, before tacking on two more tallies in the final frame. Article content Article content 'We stayed level-headed today compared to our first game last year (a 10-2 loss to Collingwood),' Cubs head coach Darryl Moxam said in a post-game release from Hockey Canada. 'Whether we were up or they came back and tied the hockey game, we just stayed the course and playing a Game 7 in order to get here helped out in that. Props to our leadership group, our coaching staff or anyone else on the bench, they didn't allow anyone to get too high or too low and last year's experience had a lot to do with that.' Colin Doherty and Alec Hall scored, while Nicholas Jones and Keagin Kelln combined to make 16 saves for Grande Prairie, a finalist in the Alberta Junior Hockey League this season. Article content Greater Sudbury got off to a similarly strong start on Saturday, leading the Northern Manitoba Blizzard 1-0 after the first stanza, but the Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions knotted the score in the second, then outpaced the locals with five goals in the final frame to take a 6-3 decision. Article content Article content Moore, Spencer Horgan and Ben Harris had the goals and Chartier made 29 stops for the Cubs, who were scheduled to face the Trenton Golden Hawks, winners of the Ontario Junior Hockey League championship, on Monday at 6 p.m. ET, then the Kam River Fighting Walleye, champs from the Superior International Junior Hockey League, on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET to finish out the round-robin portion of the tournament. Article content Jack Linton, with two goals and an assist, and Brett Ward, with one marker and a pair of helpers, were the offensive leaders for Northern Manitoba on Saturday.
