Rugby League Park


Canterbury Rugby League had a long term lease on Rugby League Park which was formerly known as the Addington Showgrounds.[1]


In 2011 due to the Christchurch earthquake the Grand stands became too dangerous to inhabit and Canterbury Rugby League were displaced until 2019 when in conjunction with the Christchurch City council, Rugby League purpose built facilities were built at the Nga Puna Wai Sports hub and will be officially opened on the 23rd February 2019 with an exhibition match between the NZ Warriors and the Canterbury Bulls.



Local Competition


Eight teams currently compete in the Pat Smith Trophy Premiership;


  • Linwood Keas

  • Northern Bulldogs

  • Celebration Lions

  • Aranui Eagles (Renamed Eastern Eagles in 2018)

  • Halswell Hornets

  • Papanui Tigers

  • Riccarton Knights

  • Hornby Panthers

The winner is awarded the Smith Trophy, which dates back to 1913.



History



Foundation


The organisation was founded on 13 July 1912 at a meeting that included William Moyle, Robert Brunsden, New Zealand representative Charlie Pearce and David McPhail, who had played with St. Helens and Wigan.[2] A.E. Hooper was elected chairman on 17 July and would serve in that position until 1922. Henry Thacker, a mayor and MP, was the first president of the CRL and served from 1912 until 1929.[3] He donated the Thacker Shield in 1913.


Canterbury first played on 7 September 1912 at the Show Grounds against Wellington. Ernie Buckland scored the first rugby league try in Canterbury as Wellington prevailed 5-4.[2] The first local club competition was held in 1913, with four clubs participating. Addington was founded on 31 January 1913, Sydenham one week later on 7 February, Linwood on 12 March and on the 14 March St. Albans was formed. The first Canterbury Rugby League Annual General Meeting was held on 31 March 1913.[2]



Touring teams


In 1955 Canterbury defeated the touring French side 24-12.[3] They defeated Great Britain 18-10, in 1990.



Glory Years


The early nineties saw a regional Canterbury side that included many future stars. The side was coached by Frank Endacott and included players such as captain Mark Nixon, Mike Culley, Quentin Pongia, Terry Hermansson, Whetu Taewa, Logan Edwards, Brendon Tuuta, Simon Angell and Mike Dorreen. With the creation of the Lion Red Cup however, many moved franchises and eventually ended up in Australia or England.



Lion Red Cup


In the Lion Red Cup, from 1994–1996, Canterbury was represented by the Christchurch City Shiners and the Canterbury Country Cardinals.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
