SYMPHONIC BANDS SHAKESPEARE ENSEMBLE DEPARTMENT REPORTS
The Concord Concert and Symphonic Bands are made up of students
from Lindisfarne College and Hastings Girls’ High School. After many
successful years under the baton of John Snowling, the Concord
Symphonic Band was led in 2017 by the new Director of Music and
Performing Arts, Mr Flemming Kristensen. The students reacted well to
the change and 2017 became a busy year of rebuilding the band through
motivating younger players to rise to the challenge of leading the band
and listening closely to the players around them. This certainly happened!

The repertoire for 2017 was varied and challenging and soloists included Back Row: J Cowan, M Devonshire, J Black, A Wilson
Dylan Taylor and Luke Devane on clarinet who both did very well in Front Row: A Olsen, F Del Rosario, O Howlett, W Druzianic,
the particularly exposed parts of the work Appalachian Morning. 2017
included success at band festivals in Hastings, Feilding and Whangarei O Price-Walker
(National Band Festival) where both the Concord Concert and Concert
Symphonic Bands achieved bronze, silver and gold awards. The highlight 2017 JAZZ BAND
was no doubt the five-day trip to Whangarei. Here, our bands not only
performed but also listened to many top-quality student and adult
bands from around the North Island.

Workshops that had been especially organised for the brass,
woodwind, flute and percussion sections were inspiring and
entertaining. In a feat of impressive wind support and standing alongside
approximately 20 other trombonists, Henry Mirams came close to winning
the “long note competition” on his instrument. While in Whangarei, both
bands also performed to a very appreciative audience at Tauraroa Area
School.

Other musical outings included performances during the Blossom Festival
and at the Lindisfarne Gala. Thanks to Mr Matthew Wood (Concord
Concert Band), Mrs Alana Frankum and Mrs Jillian Frizzell (Hastings Girls’
High School) for their support during the year.

PIPE BAND Back Row: Dr F Kristensen, Q Le Lievre, K Patel,
The Pipe Band has had a busy year working on new and challenging J Diprose, H Mirams, Mr M Wood
repertoire. The Pipe Band’s first official parade in 2017 was at the
Lindisfarne College Gala where the band performed to a very appreciative Front Row: K Albers-Connolly, D Taylor, J Pullar,
crowd. Early in Term 2, the Pipe Band held its annual fund-raising Ceilidh, F Fierro, R Du Toit
which was well supported and enjoyed. Absent: J McPhail

A highlight of the year for the Pipe Band was to feature as special guests LINDISFARNE COLLEGE CHOIR
in a concert put on by the Hastings City Pipe Band. For our pipers, it was
an invaluable experience to not only perform as a school pipe band but
also to play together with the experienced Hastings City Pipe Band as
a massed ensemble. In Term 4 we travelled to Cambridge to compete
in the Hamilton Gardens contest. Due to very heavy rain, this event was
unfortunately cancelled. We took the opportunity, however, to play our
tunes at various towns on the way home.

Further performances were at the Hastings Blossom Parade, the yearly
Pipe Band Recital and the Performing Arts Concert. Thanks to our tutors
Mr Steve Leigh (bagpipes), Mr Geoff Bainbridge (pipe drums), Mr David
O’Hanlon (pipe drums) and our band manager, Mr Barry Law.

CHOIR Back Row: J Ashby, F Duncan, W Druzianic, J Aarons,
The relatively young Lindisfarne College Choir has continued to O Price-Walker
grow and establish itself in 2017 under the direction of Joseph
Christensen. The highlight of the year was a very good performance Row 2: Dr F Kristensen, W Duncan, R Herring, D Williams,
at the East Coast Big Sing Choir Competition. I received positive K Patel, M Nichols, A Mehta, A Milewski
feedback from numerous choir directors about how great it was
to see our choir back at The Big Sing. It was fantastic to have such Front Row: T Matairangi, J Black, C Walker, O Howlett,
good numbers and enthusiasm from the boys on stage. A Shand, A Majstorovic

The choir also delivered notable performances at Assembly Absent: T Awatere-Reedy, J Cowan, G de Groot,
and at the Performing Arts Concert. Under the guidance of Mr B Thorp-Walker
Christensen, this year’s most experienced singers have formed a
vocal ensemble which is an exciting new group that will continue to
reach new heights in 2018.

THE LYDIARD CUP

This trophy has eluded Lindisfarne for over 20 years with Napier BHS having a stranglehold over it for that time. This year,
however, history was turned on its head and the very dominant athletics team that the school has had this year added another
highly sought after trophy to its collection. Points are scored for placings over a range of both track and field events and in the
final analysis it was Lindisfarne’s 239 points over NBHS’s 223 points that did it. With National Secondary School Champs only
two months ahead of this competition, this was a good chance for athletes to measure their form in the age groups of Junior
and Senior as they will be for Nationals.

sportsmanship they demonstrated. It is always a pleasure to coach passionate and positive young men who play for each other,
have enjoyment for the game and are enthusiastic competitors. I am sure that all the teams we played this year know we gave
100% on the court. No win was ever certain for the opposition.

I would also like to thank and acknowledge Paul Walsh, who, with his endless hours of help, has been instrumental in many of
the players’ improving and understanding the game more. His participation and support has allowed continued development of
the basketball programme and an important part of the coaching team giving me both advice and support.

Thank you for all the support we received from families and students during the year and again congratulations to the players
for making the season such an enjoyable one.

very many wins. Back Row: Mrs V Gardner, F Jull, B McDonald, B Thomassen

The division 3 grade was full of skilled teams this year and Front Row: A Russell, F Fierro, B Gray, H Mowat
most of the games were played in good spirit. This team had
many skilled three-point shooters, but rebounding and driving
to the basket were often the two skills that let the team down,
being unable to convert the ball carrying down the court into
points. Many of the players were very quick on attack, but we
did struggle to get back down the court on defence.

The boys enjoyed all of their games, in particular when facing
the other Year 11 Lindisfarne team. With the structure of the
competition, the boys played off for a place in the bottom four
of the grade. Sadly they lost this game 48-37. However, they
kept positive and structured on the court and were a pleasure
to coach. They are a skilful team of young men and it will be
nice to have the majority of them play together as a team in
2018.

BASKETBALL The Junior A Basketball team had a successful and enjoyable SPORT REPORTS
season and justifiably finished second overall in their Junior A
JUNIOR A Basketball grade. In a team that enjoyed good balance across the
court, although lacked in squad size, there was always potential
to succeed. There was height, ball-carrying ability, confidence
and experience and these ingredients helped the team on many
occasions to enjoy good wins over many other Hawke’s Bay
schools. It was unfortunate to lose Hawke’s Bay Under 14 rep Jack
Wills part way through the season, but the team refused to allow
this to interfere with their progress. Tommy Fergusson assumed
the captain’s role and also the centre position and was very
effective in doing so. Always competitive, Tommy led by example.

Also contributing well was another Hawke’s Bay rep, Lanson

Randell, who was effective as a point guard, a position that is not

really Lanson’s preferred choice. He teamed up well with Phoenix

Dagg in this role. Phoenix was a skilful and confident guard in all

games. Henry Roil and Noah Morgan were forwards who always

created a threat, shot well and looked for opportunities and were

strong on defence. Biggest improver was Henry Windhager, a

relative newcomer to the game but an extremely valuable player;

as his knowledge grew, so did his confidence and he has huge

However, I would like to acknowledge the players who
remained committed to both games and practices throughout
the season. These included Guy Bayly, Te Mana-Potiki Hillman,
Cameron Kennedy, Tori Randell and Charles Roil.

All of these students showed improvement as the season
progressed, particularly with their shooting skills. Tori always
gave 100% on the court and was unfazed by playing bigger and
older students. Guy and Cameron consistently added value to
the team and possessed strong all-round skills. Te Mana-Potiki
gained confidence and his shooting skills really improved over
the last two games. Charles Roil received the Fair Play award
for this team. He was multi-skilled, competitive and a great
team player.

Ben is a no nonsense cricketer. He has a fantastic attitude towards training and this attitude flows
over into games situations where he is a fierce competitor. He was the spearhead of this season’s
bowling attack and bowled very well with the new ball, claiming 3 wickets in a match, on 10
separate occasions. Ben finished the season with 43 wickets at an average of 16.0 per wicket.

Ben also won the Teams Fair Play Award for 2017.

From a bowling point of view Hunter Lowe was always dangerous and was our leading wicket taker during the year, followed closely
by Jon Karlsson, Jack Beattie and Sam Ferguson. The highlight bowling performance for me though was Jon Karlsson and Jack
Beattie’s taking all 10 wickets between them against Cornwall Cricket Club Dangar Islanders in an exceptional display of new-ball
bowling.

I look forward to continuing to work with the boys for the remainder of this season as we seek to achieve an unbeaten year.

It was a season of improvement for the
Second XI Football team. With a number
of players returning to the squad from
last year it was pleasing to note the
improvements in skill levels, team cohesion
and overall fitness from our previous
season together.

With the exception of two or three games,
against teams who were playing in a grade
too low for their skills levels, the team
defended very well. A new formation
was employed to bolster our midfield,
which was where we struggled to hold
possession last year, and this helped our
defenders as well as enabling us to make
some dangerous fast breaks on attack.

Our goal scoring improved throughout the Back row: R Du Toit, J Hilson, J Wilson-Bramwell, P Pooni, E McKee-Harris,

JUNIOR A

The Lindisfarne Junior A Football team competed in the Hawke’s
Bay Secondary Schools first division championship in 2017.
Pre-season trainings saw 28 of the top Junior (Year 9 and 10)
footballers attending several lunchtime training sessions with the
goal of catching the eye of the selection panel.

After three weeks of lunchtime trials a beep test was conducted to
see whether the boys had big enough engines to compete with
the fast pace of Hawke’s Bay Secondary School Junior A Football.
The results were surprising and a squad of 14 capable footballers
was assembled to take on the province’s best Junior A Football
teams.

The team was extremely fortunate to have the services of new
Year 9 student Sam Wall playing this year. Sam is without question
Hawke’s Bay’s best Under 14 player. He is a young man who
has gained selection into the Central Federation and National
Federation football squads in recent years. In short, Sam was our
most effective player and he often dominated the middle of the
midfield dispossessing our opponents and starting attacks for
the team that often led to goals being scored.

All boys enjoy their futsal and that is why
it is the number one growing sport in

3RD XI

The 3rd XI Hockey team had an enjoyable and successful
2017 season.

Positive and focussed leadership was provided by a superb
group of Year 13 boys in the team: Captain Kadin Good,
Vice-Captain Alec Heighway, the tireless and resolute
Connor Buckley, William Tombleson and Josh Reed. And
finally, our surprise addition to the team, Refin Sephio, new
to hockey, but a fast learner and very committed player.

The Year 12 contingent included our very committed HOCKEY 3RD XI

remarkable tenacity to our game.

From Year 11, Hugo Bayley, new to the College this
year, proved to be a skilled and very handy attacker. This
combined well with Francis Del Rosario’s defence skills and
unflappable nature.

The boys’ perseverance and hard work during practices
and every game were important in ensuring our enjoyment of the season and the ongoing development of their skills. Their willingness
to give their all was fundamental to their finishing second in the division, behind HBHS 2nd XI. A big thank you to the boys for their
efforts and making it an enjoyable season. Thanks must also go to the parents who braved the wet and cold to support us. It was most
appreciated.

U15 TANNER CUP

A squad of 14 players was assembled late in the winter
season to compete at the Tanner Cup Tournament in
Tauranga during the Winter Sports Tournament Week. The
Tanner Cup Tournament is relatively new on the winter sports
calendar, starting in 2011, but it has developed into a top-
notch tournament with many of the country’s top hockey
schools taking part. The Lindisfarne College side was made
up of a nucleus of the Colts A team with a number of Year 10
and 11 students from the 2nd XI.

The Lindisfarne College team were up against some

very strong sides that were stacked with talent from their

local regional Under 15 reps and man for man struggled

to compete. As a team, though, Lindisfarne grew and Back Row: B van Etten, R Patel, F May, J Cairns

closely-fought tussle and showed that Lindisfarne were not far off the best teams there, losing 0 – 1 after a scoreless first half.

Lindisfarne then lost to John McGlashan College (2 – 3) and Christ’s College (0 – 1) in crossover matches. On the final day

Lindisfarne played Wellington College and again went down (3 – 5).

In terms of results it was not a successful tournament; however, the boys stuck together and worked well as a team and
improved throughout the tournament. The boys learned a lot from the experience and hopefully will look to build on it for next
season. Thanks to Mr Scott Lawson and Mr Pat Turley who helped to feed and transport the team while they were in Tauranga.
