Three Dunedin-based weightlifters competed in the South Island weightlifting champs, held in Christchurch on July 17 - Jacob Matthews, Jono Tripp and Douglas Sekone-Fraser.

Dunedin school children will next week be given the opportunity to try trampolining.

Despite an abundance of Gymnastics clubs in the city there is currently no trampoline club. It is hoped that the holiday programme will be the first step to building interest in this sport and potentially forming a club that can offer the community the benefits of trampoline.

Sotaro Ueda (11) and his younger brother Kohsuke (9) have done it again.

During 2009, the Sport Otago Active Schools team is offering all primary and intermediate schools throughout the Otago region the opportunity to attend low cost physical activity professional development workshops.

I watched the Canterbury team play in the weekend and can't imagine how they could even be considered seriously dressed in a powerless combination of colour and design that would be unable to intimidate a tadpole. Who dreamed up that combination. I think if Canterbury wants to get back on top they need to go back and find what they've been losing.

Another day, another loss and another chance for our Black Caps to defeat the arrogant Greek gods in the game of cricket, Australia.
