Happy birthdays to South Is representative Layne Green on Monday 17 June and former Kiwi Bill Johnsen on Wednesday 19 June. Ages confidential. Australasian Hotel now open for birthday celebrations. Candles supplied. England 30 Exiles 10 (coached by Bluey MacClennan, the forgotten man) Bill Whitehead Last weekend a Rugby League game which had few skirmishes between two arch rivals, and played without incident for final 25 minutes had fines of $2000 imposed on them by GM for bringing game into disrepute. Does not affect players, as volunteers will have to raise money, unless Board sees sense and wipes it under appeal. Why not take points away from teams, if you want to penalise players. Rugby Union game Temuka v Geraldine (E&OE) which was called off on same weekend had three players sent off, and a spectator banned from watching Union for 3 weeks. (Blessing). League game had write-up and photos in The Press, the South Canterbury kerfuffle was not reported by Fairfax (Fair facts) in The Press, whose motto is Pro Bono .... something which means Fair something or other. When I asked why, was told Timaru Herald which "Fairfacts" also owns, did not send report through. Tell cleaner it is probably under the carpet. What a bloody laugh.
