Neufeld
hopes for
NZ return

BRAD NEUFELD: always ready
to help a friend.

When a buddy from Hazelton
couldn’t get time off from work
to play on a New Zealand softball
team, Neufeld was there to Gill in
for him.

"He was really choked about
not going but he arranged for me
to go instead,’’ said Neufeld, 4
23-year-old Chevron Juniors
pitcher,

Neufeld left last Thanksgiving
to play on a Queenstown team in
New Zealand, intending to play
the full season from October to
April.

A game in December cut his
season short when he tore ankle
ligaments running from second
base to third.

But he hopes lo return to the
Kiwi team, maybe as soon as this
year.

When he talked with his New
Zealand coach a few weeks ago,
Neufeld was assured a place if the
coach can get a team together.

“T definitely want to go back,”’
said Neufeld. ‘‘It’s really like
home - after the game, everyone
gocs down for a beer and hangs
out.”’

Last year Neufeld worked for
his Kiwi coach doing carpentry
and bartended for the pub that
sponsored the team.

The same work arrangements
would probably be made for
Neufeld. in New Zealand this
year.

Northmen survive monsoon

YEARS OF PLAYING in Prince

Northmen rugby club have seen
more than a few rain-soaked
games.

But nothing to compare with
what they faced during the June
11 match held during Seafest.

Maintaining the playcrs
couldn’| have been wetter if
they'd immersed themscives in
the ocean, referee David Huil
added, ‘Even the Rupert people
were amazed,”

With huge puddles four to five
inches deep and a small stream
running down the centre of the
ficld, Hull claimed ‘‘small
wingers had to swim for it.”’

And the incessant downpour

having washed away all the lines,
he admitted imagination played a
big part in some of his calls.

The torrential rain and ac-
companying chill wind made for
appalling playing condilions, es-
pecially for the kickers.

Northman Doug. Wilson
managed just one conversion and
was blanked on penalties while
his Rupert counterpart missed
each of his six attempts.

Wilson’s lone convert came on
one of two Rod Schibli first half
tries, while George DaCosta’s
scrum half plunge. gave the
Northmen 17 by the interval.

However, the game was no
runaway this time, Rupert scoring
two majors of their own to trail

by only seven at the break,

And the coasters kept up the
pressure carly in the second half
on some fine work by their backs.

But. the Northmen’s defensive
wall held and Kevin Paitterson’s
try gave Terrace a 22-10 margin
at the final whistle.

The result completed a season
sweep by ‘Terrace of Prince

the knowledge that the game, for
once, Was not a runaway for the
Northmen,

The Northmen were in Smithers
over the weekend for a double
header against the Camels, the
last inter-club games of '94,

Although the Northmen were

originally supposed to host Prince
Rupert this Saturday to be fal-
lowed Sunday by a Ruperi-
Smithers match up here, Hull said
the North Coast league has de-
cided to make a change.

With Terrace having already
wrapped up the title and Smithers
assured of second, exhibition
matches will be held instead.

Hull explained: mix-and-match
Sides will be selected from the
pool of players available.

Since the idea is to put together
evenly matched sides, Hull said
the result should be ‘‘very, very
enlertaining rugby”.

Game times — 7:30 p.m. Satur-
day and 1 p.m. Sunday — will
remain the same.
