I have been watching a one-sided superbowl final today. Not that thrilling, but kudos to the Seattle Seahawks for their first ever SuperBowl Victory. And to add to that it is only the second major Sports title won by a Seattle Team (The NBA team Sonics have won one title, just want to throw in there that I watched MJ play them when the Bulls were in Seattle - think I was there to wacth Sting in concert. Well worth the 12 hour drive from our USA pad at the time!) It just goes to reinforce the fact that you win less sports titles as you age or progress up the ranks - so appreciate any win as it occurs! Speaking of the NBA, isn't it a thrill to see Steve Adams doing so well.
Hope you have time to watch some of the Winter Olympics this month. We may get a medal yet.
Who can name the last (isn't it the one and only?) Winter Olympics Medal for NZ?
It is time I got some info up here for all you swimmers, triathletes and ballers!
I hope you have been visiting the Canterbury Basketball Site as they have brought back the RAMS to play in the NZ National league - so exciting!

Sports News
The year begins with swimming and triathlon events over the next 2 months. We love having all the families particpating and supporting these events which are spectator treats!
Join us at Dudley on Thursday 27th Feb at 10am for our senior swimming sports (yrs 5 - 8) and at the Community Triathlon on Sunday 23 February. The senior syndicate will be holding a team triathlon on the afternoon of Feb. 21st and an inter-class X-treme swimming competition the following week.
This year we have added in an important rule for any yr 5- 8 student wishing to enter the Canterbury Schools' Triathlon (March 3) at Pegasus.
"Participation in the individual age events of the Community PTA Triathlon is a prerequisite for any yr 5 - 8 Fernside School student being accepted into the Fernside School Canterbury Triathlon Squad."
Please contact Annabel with any enquiries or offers of help for the swimming sports.
"Fernside School participates in the NCJBA Friday night competition which runs for 6 weeks starting on 7th of March and finishing on April 11th. Notices will be available on the sports blog soon and your children will get a notice from Annabel. This is only open to year 5- 8 students. Although the School administers the teams we need lots of support from parents and ex-students for managing and coaching."
