www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Down Under diary Episode 7: St Aloysius . (Jesuit School in Sydney)
St Aloysius 2nd XV 5, Stonyhurst 2nd XV 0
WE arrived in Sydney from the Gold Coast on Friday and met St Aloysis- us School on Saturday. Having played six and won six so
far on the tour, we were all confident we could win again. An early morning kick-off for the
Second XV at 11a.m.was slightly unusual, but after their outstanding performance in the previous game we had “no worries” as we say in Aus tralia. Unfortunately the team, for the
first time on tour, failed to gel and were beaten by a single first half try to lose 5-0. We spent the entire second half
H IN THE final instalment of our Down Under diary, the 33 boys and six staff from Stonyhurst College once more show their stamina on their
. adventure of a lifetime to Australia, Their college rugby tour has clearly proved a great success all round with the boys bringing home some won- r derfui experiences of their welcome Down Under
camped in their 22, but just could not find the breakthrough. A wholehearted effort, however,
that should stand us in good stead for the huge challenge that awaits at Riverview in our final game.

THE first XV game followed, kick ing off at 12-30. We seemed fairly sluggish and off the pace in the first half and went into half time down by five points to seven, Ross Munro scoring our try. Mr Charles then obviously worked
his half-time magic and we proceed ed to totally dominate the second half to win comfortably by 46 - 7. Points were scored at regular inter
vals and we again looked like a very good rugby side. Highlights included two long-
range interceptions by Joe Notter and the committed and almost fault less second half defence. The hospitality we received was
absolutely first class. We all enjoyed an excellent sit down meal, pictured right, followed by speeches and pre sentations by coaches and captains. The final games now await at Riverview on Monday.
Final games prove a bridge
too far for injury-hit college Episode 8: St Ignatius (a fellow Jesuit School), Riverview
AND so to the final day of games: the hugely anticipated clash with St Ignatius Riverview.
. This game meant a great deal to many people, as we have now built up a won derful impression of this counterpart Sydney Jesuit school through many years of young gap students and successful staff exchanges, and more recently, an outstanding Riverview Music Tour. What could we expect?

blance to that we normally would have fielded, with numerous players playing out of position. That said, even our normal starting
XV would have struggled to contain a Riverview side who were athletic, intelli gent and sharp around the contact areas and played some great handling rugby. They deserve every credit for the way
they played the game. We were simply blown away, and
although it wasn’t the best way to finish the tour, all the boys’ rugby should have in some way improved and drawn some
thing from the experiences they have had on the pitch. Despite the scoreline, we were competitive for periods throughout the game and Ben Allen finished off some good open field handling from Fergal Marlborough and Michael Richardson, which Michael converted, to give an indi cator of what we were capable of doing. Ultimately, a few injuries, positional
inexperience and opponents of a very high calibre made this game a bridge too far.
Those who remain next year will have
learned some valuable lessons and the excellent team spirit, undiminished to the end, is something all concerned should make a concerted effort to main tain and build upon.

ONE would expect St Ignatius, a rugby mad school with more than 200 boys in a year group, to be well blessed with raw material and so it proved. Even with a few key players absent,
their size pace and power was evident. There was much good rugby to be seen
by both sides with Riverview eventually scoring four tries to our two. When we took an early second half
lead with Joe Ansbro’s outstanding try, things were looking good. JulianDineen showed just what was possible with a classic wing forward’s per formance in a back row to be proud of which will all be there next season.
Farmers’ fury over pay system
LEADING members of the National Farmers’ Union in Lancashire have expressed anger and outrage at the Gov ernment's decision to force farmers to leave uncultivated two-metre strips around their hedges in order to claim the new Single Farm Payment. Senior NFU officers within the coun
Molloy (2)
ty think the proposed system is unwork able and they are shocked at the Gov ernment's decision to impose this mea sure, despite the NFU having made a number of more workable and construc tive suggestions. NFU Lancashire County Chairman,
Mr Albert Webster, said: "Many farm ers simply cannot afford to take this
land out of production and Defra has once again shown that it does not under stand how farming actually works. “I feel that the NFU and the whole
farming community has been badly let down by the Government. I have plant ed thousands of metres of hedges, for which I will now be penalised. If Defra and conservationists genuinely want to see more hedges in the countryside then this method is simply not the answer." The NFU
is.now urging its members
to lobby their local MPs for support. "We need members to make their
voices heard as this decision is not only bad for farmers, but it could be bad for the countryside, too", said Mr Webster.

SPIDER-MAN 2 (PG); The Grand Cinema; from tomorrow
BIG screen incarnations of comic book superheroes have proved a winning formula all the way back to Flash Gordon. We’ve had Superman,
Batman, the X-Men and, in the latest big-budget blockbuster, Spider-Man. Actually, we’ve already
had Spider-Man as this is the webslinger’s second outing. Tobey Maguire returns
as mild-mannered Peter Parker,. He continues juggling
the delicate balance of his dual life as a college stu dent and a superhuman crime fighter. The
entertaining
adventure escalates and Spider-Man’s life becomes even more complicated when he confronts a new nemesis, the brilliant Otto Octavius, (Alfred Moli na). This dastardly villain
has been reincarnated as the maniacal and multi- ten tacled Dr Octopus. That bigger budget has
meant spectacular stunts and superb special effects in a sequel that improves on the original.
—--------: ; — GRAND CINEMA COMPETITION
Question: In between his two Spider-Man roles, Tobey Maguire played jockey Red Pollard in a film about (and named after) a legendary American racehorse. What was i t called?

THE Ribble Valley Piano Week is an ambitious and now well-established eight days of music for small forces based at the Centenaries Theatre, Stonyhurst. The piano is played at every con
cert, sometimes solo, sometimes with voice or strings. On Thursday evening, Llyr
Williams played Beethoven, three works from the early years of the 20th Century and to begin with, J. S. Bach’s Chanconne in D-minor, wit- ten for solo violin and arranged for solo piano by Busoni. At the outset it was clear that Mr
Williams was a listener as well as a player. He found time between the notes. The music was melodious and precise. As it moved into the major in the middle section, the rich har monies echoed round like a male- voice choir. The finale rang out like a carillon. Beethoven’s “Tempest” sonata was
from 1802, the year of his “Heiligen- stadt” testament in which he intend ed to announce to his brothers his withdrawal from society due to his deafness. The document was never sent and found later, but it gives some indication of his thoughts at the time. He was still very productive and
this work begins in sonata form incor porating treble runs which scurry up the keyboard. There is much dynam ic contrast which leads into an ada gio. Here Mr Williams held the audi ence so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the clock in the corner of

the room. The finale demands pianis- tic dexterity. In spite of Beethoven’s preoccupations, the sonata is not joy less. Hope come shining through. The second half began with
Debussy’s three short “Estampes” or “Prints” from 1903. There is a kin ship with Impressionist painters and there are many fast runs often on the black notes. Janacek’s “In the Mists” consists
of contrasting elements which link up in linear fashion, sometimes overlap ping, sometimes appearing detached from each other. His methods are dis tinctive, recognised readily by his devotees. Scriabin is a challenge for any
pianist. Sonata No. 5 was written in 1907 while he was working out his soaring “Poem of Ecstacy” for orchestra. The languid element gives rise to a ferocious test of the fingers which Mr Williams brought off with apparent ease. The applause was sustained until
Llyr Williams played us an encore: Chopin’s Prelude in F-sharp opus 28, No. 13. On the eighth day of the piano fes
tival , Mr Stephen Kovacevich drove up from London to play Beethoven. He began with the Bagatelles Op.
126, a collection of six short pieces written when he was 54. The Bagatelles were written after
the final sonatas, and though the form may indicate trifles, the sound is akin to that heard in the sonatas. Musician and listeners were soon
immersed in the spirit of Beethoven as the pianist eased his way in. The Sonata in E-major Op. 109
begins with a stopping and starting motif. Do we have to take this jour ney? Yes we do. But now the pianist knew that and so did we. Just before a repeat, he quickly
brushed his forehead with the back of his right hand. As the movement develops, the dynamics demand greater power and the fingers become more curled, the hands raised. After some searing passages, the sonata ends quietly. The power of the music echoed
through me during the interval, and when we resumed with Schubert, it was a great relief. He could not help the light shining through his German dances. Beethoven’s Opus 110 in E-flat
must be terrible to play. Beginning on an even keel, it is soon into multiple hand-crossing and massive double- handed chords. At the point where the adagio moves into the fugue, the pianist cleared his brow again, this time with the left hand. The music becomes tortured and complex, before ending in a surge of hope. Beethoven was compact with
strong shoulders and a noble head. Stephen Kovacevich is taller, but is largely true to th a t description. Beethoven wrote the notes. Kovacevich made them live for us.
