General Canterbury Rugby League

Interesting discussion around the future of Rugby League Park (Addington Showgrounds) in Christchurch.

I really hope the council does right by Canterbury Rugby League.

I’ve been to grand finals, test matches and state of origins, but NOTHING beats the atmosphere of a halswell/ hornby grand final at the showgrounds in the 80s.
Sorry but nga puna wai just don’t cut it- it’s a real shame.

I'm nostalgic for Addington showgrounds too now that I've seen those prices.

Pretty sure kids didn’t even have to pay back then- if u played for a local club- should bring that one back.

I watched my Uncles home video of either the 84 or 85 grand final years ago involving those 2 teams. Phill Prescott, Phill Bancroft & a rampaging Greame Larsen stood out to me. Looked like a awesome atmosphere too! Cantabs had some tough summamabitches back then.

Was that when Bancroft kicked a drop goal from halfway to win it? One of the greatest days of my life that one- he was a special player.
I was lucky enough to be coached by phil Prescott when I got older- best coach I ever had.

Yup!! Won by a point. One of the best clutch drop goals I've ever seen. Can't remember the score. Was something like 20 - 21.
I've heard nothing but good things about Phil and his coaching credentials. Halswell legend, Bartercard Cup & The Kiwis assistant.
Is he still involved with the local Cantab RL scene?

I don’t think so.
Saw him at the clubrooms a couple of years ago and he wasn’t then- he’s blardy aged well- still looks the same.
