There’s no pressure, but if last year’s Waimea College 9A netball team and the under 14 rugby team don’t win at the Southern Skies Tournament in Brisbane next year, they won’t be coming home.Winner of the Waimea Weekly front page competition Tracey Aindow says she’s jok-ing, but the two teams will be taking the Australasian tournament very seriously.Over a hundred votes came via email and through the Waimea Weekly’s Facebook page for the sports teams and their bid for our front page. And their message: The College have “slaves” who are ready and willing to do some work for a buck.The two sports teams did phenomenally well last season, with the netball team win-ning the South Island Secondary School’s tournament in Christchurch and the rug-by team were unbeaten all of last season on their way to winning the under 14 Nelson Bays competition. Waimea College sports director Daniel Hobbs has suggested the two teams com-pete at the Southern Skies Tournament in Brisbane in July 2012. This tournament attracts entries from Australia, New Zea-land, the Pacific Islands and Asia, with around 160 teams in total. With this goal in mind, all the students need to do is raise the funds to fly over the ditch. The cost of the trip has been priced at around $100,000 for the 36 students and five accompanying adults – around $2500 per person. Daniel says the school have at this stage veered away from sponsorship because they want the students to work for the cash. A team from the College last attend-ed the Southern Skies tournament in 2006, but Daniel says the school, in his memory, hasn’t sent a tour group this big anywhere for a long time.

Daniel says the teams are very tight, and are very good friends. “There’s all the off-field learning’s they’ll get from it as well, like having to fundraise, having to earn their way there, having the social skills and the tournament play which includes for the netballers playing three games a day.”Tracey believes the international sports tournament will be an amazing opportu-nity for the students. “Not only are they representing their school, they’re also representing their community and their country.” A tour organising committee has been created, with four parents working hard to make everything happen.

Netballer Lucy Ingham says attending the tournament is a good reward and shows that “you can do something if you work hard”.“It’s also taking the next level up in our sporting experiences,” adds rugby player Jimmy Calder.The students believe competing at regional and South Island tournaments is good, but to be able to compete at an international level will be even better. “To see how we can compete against all these other teams and to see if we would still be as good as we are here against all those other teams,” says Lucy.Watching other nations play sport will also

give the teams the chance to see what oth-er country’s play style is like, adds Jimmy.The teams have already done a bit of fund-raising and a car wash has been scheduled for the weekend of July 9 and 10, these take place in the Richmond Mall car park at $5 a car. Some students have even spent an afternoon picking up rocks to earn money.Daniel says $100,000 is a lot of money to raise, but they have a year to do it. “It’s do-able, but if we’re realistic we’re aiming to fundraise at least half.”So if you can help the sports teams in any way get in touch with Daniel on 544 6099 (ext 878) or email [email protected].

This week we talked to a family who have had five generations pass through Hope School. What are some of your family traditions?

Bert Rooth.

“We used to go back to Hol-land; the last time was around 10 years ago. We used to live on the German border and would often go into Germany shopping.”

Fay March.

“I didn’t have grandparents as a kid so we didn’t really have any traditions. These are usu-ally handed on by grandpar-ents, so we didn’t have any-thing like that.”

Emma Weeks.

“We have quite a few. At Christmas time we do a secret santa. Most of ours are based around holidays like Christ-mas.”

• The petition organised by Red-wood Valley resident David Van-stone is gathering momentum. Da-vid organised the petition to lobby council about the intersection at Golden Hills Rd and Waimea West Rd after a fatal accident last month. “There’s been quite a bit of interest, we’re certainly getting a few sig-natures,” he says. The petition can now be found at Stoneridge Café, the Beverly Store at Three Brothers Corner, Brightwater Motors and the Greenwood Dairy by the Trav-ellers Rest.

• Five Richmond designers have

been selected as finalists for this year’s Brancott Estate World of WearableArt™ (WOW) Awards Show, to be held on August 26. Coral Bowe, Julie Brawley, Carol Hargadon, Cassandra Thomson and Taryn Whitehead have all been selected as finalists across several categories.

• The Department of Conserva-tion is calling on the public to take photos and report any sightings of southern right whales along the New Zealand coastline. Any south-ern right whale sightings should be reported immediately to the DOC hotline, 0800 DOCHOT (0800 36 24 68).

A monster garage sale is hitting town this Sun-day. The TS Talisman sea cadets are holding a cash only garage sale with more than 40 fami-lies donating treasures and bargains for locals to

snap up. The garage sale will be held at 24 Harley St, Nelson, next to the police sta-tion, between 10am-3pm.The event is hoping

to kickstart a fundraising target of $21,000 the cadets are hoping to raise before the year’s end. The money will go towards a new outboard mo-tor, lifejackets and sailing boats.There will be fun activities for all ages and lots and lots of food featured at a cafe with lots of yummy cakes, tea and coffee and they will have a sausage sizzle for the lunch time snackers. Goods for sale include clothes, plants, cakes, fudge, cosmetics packs, spa vouchers and plenty more donated by local businesses.

Plans to put a safe crossing on Wake-field's Whitby Rd is one step further on track.Representatives from the New Zea-land Transport Agency met with concerned Wakefield resident Ra-chel Strasser and Waimea College Gifted and Talented Education students Kaine Ransby and Walter Noteboom last week.The representative have now invited the three to meet with them again, along with the Tasman District Council on their next visit to the re-gion in two months time.The NZTA have indicated a kiwi-care crossing could be formed from the current traffic island, although it

would require Wakefield School staff to supervise it, meaning it would not necessarily benefit the whole com-munity.Rachel has voiced her concerns, along with other Wakefield resi-dents, about the safety of the cross-ing which divides the Wakefield township, making it near impos-sible to get from the bakery to the pharmacy during peak traffic hours. “Things aren't happening quick enough to save a life,” she says. But she acknowledges NZTA's invi-tation is a “step forward” and hopes the residents, council and the trans-port agency can come to an agree-ment sooner rather than later.

Safer crossing on track

Nelson Museum is celebrating a financial lifeline thrown to one of its key projects by a local pho-tography lover.The Glass Plate Negative Photographic Project, which features two of its images in Waimea Weekly each week, was launched last year with initial funding from the Tasman Bays Heritage Trust. But the funding was due to run out in July leaving the Museum with the prospect of having to leave the job half done.Nelson Provincial Museum CEO Peter Millward was delighted with the news of the funding, which came through late last week. “It is absolutely fantastic news, I am completely over the moon that the project can continue.”This project involves taking a high resolution im-age of the glass plate on a light box and captur-ing all available information about the image on a spreadsheet, the images are then made available online through the muse-um’s website. The project also involves re-housing the regions’ precious photographic col-lection in industry stand-ard steel drawers that will offer greater protection than the open wooden shelving that dates from the 1980s. So far almost 25,000 of the 120,000 glass plates have been processed.The donor, who does not want to be indentified but is a local man with a keen interest in photography, has expressed the hope that there will be other

people in the community with a similar desire to support this project. Nelson is recognised as having one of the best photographic records of its history of any province in the country. The value of the collection can be added to by people who offer further information about the images, such as names, dates and places. Many studio portraits lack this basic information but already some have been identified by local families.This project needs significant further support if the estimated $300,000 target is to be achieved. Anyone wishing to support this project should approach the Museum to collect a donation form but an on-line Donation capability has been ini-tiated as well on a secure website which can be accessed from the Museum website or found at https://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/fundraise/makedonation.aspx?id=18944.

Youth volunteer recognised at awards

The Australian company that owns the Nelson Mail and the three Leaders is sacking New Zea-land workers and sending their jobs to India, ac-cording to a report in the New Zealand Herald newspaper.Fairfax Media announced plans to axe 45 staff across its publications in New Zealand to creative advertising studios in India last week.EPMU senior national industry officer Paul Tolich expressed disappointment at the news in the Herald, which affects “day-to-day advertise-ments, often from templates, for insertion in met-ro and suburban papers owned by Fairfax Media in New Zealand.” The Nelson Mail and the Lead-ers are already using offshore studios for some artwork.The cuts in staffing are being made in Fairfax

publications across the country. “It’s extremely disappointing that Fairfax has chosen to export these highly skilled jobs. At a time when there is high unemployment and insecurity, it’s the last thing these workers and their families need.“We know that the newspaper industry is facing challenges, and that they’re looking to reduce costs and grow revenue. But local advertising re-lies on workers spending in their local communi-ties.How can they spend when they don’t have jobs?” Paul was reported as saying. The Nelson Mail made significant cuts to its staff in 2009 in sub-editing, accounts and prepress departments, with the majority of the work for those departments now done from out of town “hubs” based in Ham-ilton and Christchurch as well as other centres.

YOUTH VOLUNTEER: Aniseed Valley’s Kevin Gauntlet with his volunteer award. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Kevin Gauntlet doesn’t think he’s that special, but being recognised for his countless hours of volunteer work last week was a real honour.The Aniseed Valley resident was one of five recipients of a special award at last Thursday’s Nelson Tasman Youth Vol-unteer Awards.Kevin plays a key role in the youth lead-ership team at Grace Church and every week he spends several hours preparing for events and activities. He also donates time and money to help pay for kids who can’t afford to attend church trips. He has even purchased a van recently so he can transport young people to and from youth group and to camps.Others from Tasman who received a special award were Waimea College student Jenna Ross, Virginia Win from Riding for the Disabled, the Mouteka High School Family Service Centre and Becky Polglaze from the Nelson Ark.

It was dubbed the Race4Jace and the childhood friend of V8 super car driver Jason Richards says he would have loved the event.Jason is fighting a very rare and aggres-sive form of cancer. Fundraisers for his medical treatment have been held around the globe and the event in Nel-son on Saturday showed his home town is also right behind him.Tony Dyer, along with mates Nick Fowl-er and Brendan Gridley, organised the event, which in total raised $10,000 for Jason.Hundreds turned out to watch the Ba-

thurst-style race and view the car show.Tony says he was stoked with the event and the amount of money it raised. “We’re really chuffed, it couldn’t have gone better.”Nick says locals were also keen to show their support with money. “People were definitely parting with money. We had some people putting in $20 and $40, which is awesome. Because Jason has always put a lot back into Nelson kart-ing people have been keen to repay the favour I think and show Jason there is plenty of support for him here in Nelson. We all want him to bounce back.”

Local grower takes title

Local man Kevin Withington is one step closer to claiming that much-hoped-for national title.Kevin, who featured in last week’s Waimea Week-ly, along with other local fruit growers Bryce Dixon, from Easton Apples, and Canaan Balck, from Hoddy’s Orchard, made a clean sweep of the 2011 Nelson Young Fruit Grower of the Year Competition, placing first, second and third re-spectively.Kevin, who has worked at Hoddy’s Orchard for 10 years, won the regional competition last year but missed out on the national title. He can now have another crack at the title next month.Competition co-ordinator Andrew Kininmonth says that the regional grower competition gives young horticulturists an opportunity to show-case their skills outside of the work environment. “It gives recognition to the wide range of skills growers need to learn to be the best in their field. These competitions help celebrate excellence in an informal way. “Kevin [Withington] is a perfect example of the high standard of young fruit growers we have in New Zealand today,” he says.

NEW PRESIDENT: Former Richmond Rotary Club president Pip Berkett with new president David Ludbrook. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

New president takes hold of Rotary reigns

As a family who regularly takes their children into the outdoors hunting or fishing, I feel Leanne Gambell (Waimea Weekly, June 15) needs to get in the real world and find something better to whinge about. More parents should introduce their children to the outdoor experience in-stead of taking them to visit animals that are caged and in an unnatural en-vironment. It is teaching them great life skills that

they can use, and ones they don’t learn by sitting at home on the play station. I congratulate Hayden Barnes for spend-ing quality time in the outdoors with his kids. Giles Taylor.

I feel there are already stacks of (free) parking in Richmond. Surely the only car parking on Queen St that needs to be improved is for disabled users, not able bodied people who are too lazy to walk a few more metres. All the car parks I find are all conveni-ently situated close to the shops anyway. Yes paint the lines, but for less car park-ing not more. Surely that would make it safer for everyone concerned.

Regarding Sundial Square, I thought it was meant to be more a pedestrian area for people to enjoy without having to dodge parked cars to get to the square and then have to look at them when you are sat down. I was really disappointed when cars were allowed to park around the exist-ing area (Sundial Square) It looks like it will be even more congested now. Perhaps TDC should get an up with the times with a future vision for Richmond and follow a more pedestrianised ver-sion with much less emphasis on find-ing more spaces for cars. Surely they should be encouraging more walking not less. Alison Price, Wakefield.

LETTERSTO THE EDITOR

Richmond Rotary President Pip Berkett said farewell to her chains on Monday night as Ap-pleby resident David Ludbrook took over.Pip says her year as president of the club has been satisfying. “It’s a big responsibility to run a club like that. I wouldn’t have been able to do it with-out the support of the Rotary members.”Numbers at Rotary have grown by nine, with no members leaving. This in itself is a good indica-tion that Pip has had a “reasonably good year”.Pip says it’s a great feeling to know she accom-plished everything she set out to do in her year as president. “My goal was to make Rotary as rel-evant and accessible to our community as I could make it.”A lot of the projects Pip focused on have been youth orientated and the fundraisers the club have been involved in have been successful.In fact, they were so much so that on Monday night the club was able to donate $10,000 to the Summit Rescue Helicopter Trust.David says he now has big shoes to fill, but is looking forward to the challenge. He has a few ideas up his sleeve on how to build on Pip’s work and is glad he has her support throughout the year as out-going president.

The Max family name is one easily recog-nisable at Hope School. On Monday, the first of the fifth generation will start at the school and the family say they really had no option about where to send newly-turned five year-old Leroy.Leroy’s father Ben attended Hope School a “few” years ago and was taught by the same teacher who will be taking his son through his first year at school. “Even though we moved to Wakefield there was still no other option of schools for Leroy to attend,” says Ben.Leroy’s great great grandfather Don Max, a former All Black, was the first to attend Hope School. It is thought this was during the early years of the First World War.Gordon was next in line, born in 1924 and starting at the school in 1929. He says things have changed quite a lot since he was last at the school. “The old school used to be down the end of the property, it’s now been re-built.”In those days there were only two teachers at the school, who would turn up in one of the only cars in the district at the time.“I’m happy to turn up to school today, I’m pretty sure I won’t be getting the strap,” says Gordon.He says this is really the only difference between school now and school when he attended over 80 years ago, the form of punishment.Gordon then went on to attend Nelson College before starting work on the fam-ily farm. He says he was a “train boy” and

would bike to Brightwater to catch the train in to school.Gordon’s son Laurence also attended Hope School and fondly remembers every name of his classmates. “There were only three, all girls too, I was the only boy.”The Max family have been on the same Hope farm for more than 100 years, with seven generations over the years based there.Gordon says it’s lovely to see his great grandson attend the same school he did. “It gives one a sense of belonging.”Leroy has been gearing up for school over the past month, spending every Thursday for the past four weeks making visits to prepare.The young man, complete with muddy gumboots fresh off the farm, says “eve-rything” will be great when he attends school next week. He says he is looking forward to learning how to read and write.Ben says being back at school with his son brings everything back, “even the play-house here in the classroom is the same as it was when I was here.”Leroy’s uncle, and deputy principal of Hope School Liam Connolly says this year the school is looking to continue market-ing itself as a viable choice for parents to send their children to. There are many things linking the Max family to Hope School, including a re-membrance brick in the playground, but it is the strong family links the school pro-duces, such as the Max family, that make sure the small country school continues to grow and prosper.

It’s been a purpose built medi-cal centre since just after the war, opening its doors in 1947.But next month the Cambridge St Clinic will be moving to Low-er Queen St and will become the Tasman Medical Centre.Dr Peter Thomas is now on the lookout for stories and any history he can find about the clinic. They would even like to know if anyone was born at the clinic or has memories of the original doc-tors, Dr Shearer, Dr Patterson and Dr Hannah.Peter says he and the rest of the staff home to take the good will and the culture of Cambridge St with them to their new location. “For a lot of our patients they’ve been coming here their whole life, it’s a big move for them and we want to reassure them that noth-ing is going to change as far as our service or our commitment to quality health care.”If you can provide the clinic with any information, get in touch with practice manager Jane Green on 544-7272.

Up for grabs is $1000 for the winning band, which has already seen four local bands sign up. As well as giving local bands the op-portunity to gain performance experience, and showcase music and improvisational skills, the competition aims to encourage jazz amongst college students and expose them to other bands in the region.This is the first time the competition is being held and in future years organisers hope it will become part of the very successful Woollaston Nelson Jazz Festival. The competition starts at 3pm.

In the season a happy band of staff and able patients would go up the hills behind the Home on blackberrying expedition and as many as 30lbs of berries would be gathered. Mushrooms too were plentiful and a washing basket would be taken to gather them.On washing days the copper had to be boiled for the sheets and linen, everything was hand-washed, before the advent of washing machines, no small task with ap-proximately 35-40 people. An old fashioned wringer was used with irons heated on the range and a mangle for flattening the linen. Soap was made on the premises. Many of the old folk enjoyed in helping about the place. A pa-tient named “Tonty” Worthington scoured the large double boilers, pots and pans and others helped in the preparation of the vegetables and fruit. Four or five cows were kept and milked, cream and deli-cious home-made butter. The dairy was concreted and would be hosed down in the summer months to keep the large bowls of milk fresh, before the advent of refrigeration. Fish was sup-plied by Mr Deer who called with his mo-tor-bike and side-car, the fish on blocks of ice. May’s of Richmond supplied the gro-ceries and they were situated at the inter-section in Lower Queen St opposite what was once the Railway Hotel, now Robbies and others. Croucher’s Bakery van called, their prem-ises being mid Queen St about where the entrance to the mall is today. Mr Gorman came with his motor-bike and side-car with “crocks” of ginger beer. It was always a big day’s work when it was time to kill one of the pigs. These would be shot and taken to the big red shed, a build-ing up behind the group of men’s dormi-tory buildings, hung from a hook in the rafters and then scalded in a big bath kept for that purpose. The meat was prepared and legs of ham

and bacon hung from the ceiling in the kitchen with an unforgettable home-cured flavour, much enjoyed by Hospital Board members when visiting!With so much of the produce grown at the Home, the cows, pigs, fruit trees, vegeta-bles, tobacco and maize crops, the place was practically self supporting. Everyone worked hard and willingly, re-membering this was in the middle of the big depression before the 40 hour week was introduced, but no one went short of anything and the staff worked as a team. The Matron would sit in the big day win-dow of the women’s sitting room to mend the socks, and with the podding of peas,

peeling of apples and other little jobs which they enjoyed and gave them a feeling of self worth.At Christmas time for weeks be-forehand many hours of extra work was put in by Mr and Mrs Hunter going round the Nelson business premises and organizations can-vassing and getting donations for the old folk to give them a cheery Christmas. Each person was asked what they would like for Christ-

mas and as far as possible this was done- from new trousers, boots, “long johns”, shaving gear, pocket watches, some of whom had never owned one before, and with suitable gifts for the ladies. The gifts would be parcelled up in the clothing store room on large tables on Christmas eve by the staff. On Christmas day Mr Hunter re-splendent in...Father Christmas outfit, fur trimmed hat and whiskers distributed par-cels first thing in the morning. An old soul by the name of Fanny Gillett was heard to exclaim “Father Christmas!, well I never, I have heard about him but never knew he was a real person!”.Those were the days when electricity and radio were in their infancy and Mr Hunter wishing to give the old folk further en-joyment canvassed Richmond Borough for donations towards a new wireless set, with a speaker extension for the men in their smoke room. The men who smoked were given a weekly allowance and the

non-smokers and ladies were given sweets which came in large tins from Griffins factory in Nelson, but alcohol was not al-lowed to be kept on the premises. The men were allowed to go to the Vil-lage as Richmond was then called, for al-cohol at either the Star & Garter Hotel or

Railway Hotel. At Christmas time a keg of beer would be bought for the inmates who wanted it.An old Irish man named Timothy Carey kept the lawns mown and weed free and green as velvet, but occasionally when he had been down to the Village he would return in a quarrelsome Irish mood de-manding to see the “Master”. He would vow that Ruby the cook was in league with the Pope against him and all sorts of wild accusations!Being at the time of the Depression there were many tramps and swaggers out of work and on the roads. At dusk they would be seen coming up Queen St towards the Home, being sent on from the Star & Gar-ter or Railway Hotels. This annoyed Mr Hunter as although the name “Alexandra” had been chosen for meaning “Helper of Men”, he felt the establishment was pro-vided for the aged and infirm and indigent

poor but not the able unemployed. Mrs Hunter kept a diary over 40 years and on many pages someone had died, some-times sitting at the table, or in front of the main building steps and they had to be laid out awaiting the hospital ambulance to take them into hospital.

Just after Christmas and New Year it was decided to give those who would care to, a holiday at Monaco, about six miles distant, in January each year. Mr Smith’s house was rented out near the Point and to accom-modate the overflow of people, tents were erected at the rear. Inmates were taken in turn to have a complete change and a holi-day, Mrs Hunter would overload her car with patients and supplies and a Hospital Board truck would be acquired to help with bedding and larger items. At that time there were only about half a dozen cottages on the whole peninsular and the middle of the area was covered in gorse, manuka and other rubble with plen-ty of rabbits abounding, at low tide buckets of cockles were there for the taking. Fol-lowing a period of ill health Mrs Hunter retired in 1939 and went to Nelson to live and Mr Hunter continued on until 1945 when at 65 he retired.

Christchurch residents sat glued to their TV screens just days ago as the govern-ment announced areas of their city that would no longer be suitable for inhabit-ancy.The website www.landcheck.org.nz re-ceived over two million hits in the first two hours it was online as people right around New Zealand typed in the addresses of friends and loved ones to see how this rezon-ing would impact. I was one of those people typing in several ad-dresses of family members to try to gauge the effect this decision would have on the days ahead. There were only three options. Green: repair and rebuild can begin, Orange: further assess-ment required, Red: land repair would be prolonged and uneco-nomic, in other words blitz it and turn it into a park.Natural disasters are exactly that: dis-asters. This most recent series of disas-ters has changed almost everything for Christchurch residents. On an encour-aging note the stories of survival, hero-ism, community support, the rallying of thousands of volunteers and the care for fellow New Zealanders has touched us all. We are reminded at a time like this of the frailty of life and how all that we put our hope in can be taken from us in an

instant. Our homes, our possessions and our toys are gone just like that. A survey of many older folk in their rest home years turned up an interesting result when they were asked looking back what really mat-ters in life. None of them said work, mon-ey, homes or possessions. The resounding answer was all that matters is who we have loved, who has loved us and what we have done with God our creator in our lives.

In the bible Matthew writes: “Do not store up for yourselves treas-ures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heav-en, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19).This life is amazing and it is there to be lived to the full but this is

just a preparation for the life that begins when we pass from this life into eternity. Let us not place our hope only in the physical things of this world that are here today and gone tomorrow but instead lets choose to get to know God who made it all and who through his son Jesus provid-ed a way for you to know him personally. I invite you to check out one of the many local Christian churches in our region and ask them to explain more of this to you as we journey together in this amazing yet tragic at times life.

RUGBY: The Waimea College Press Cup squad secured their second win on the trot after travelling to Christchurch again over the weekend. The side took on Lincoln High School in nippy conditions, triumphing 36-15. Waimea led 17-3 at halftime fol-lowing tries to Kurt Malietoa and Riley Johnston, with Luca Roden adding both conversions

and a penalty. Three more tries to Waimea made for an exciting second half.

TRAIL RUNNING: Waimea College teacher Gus Shirley came home first in the short course of Escape from Tane’s Forest trail running event on Saturday with a time of one hour, 35 minutes and 48 seconds.

After gaining promotion to Senior Grade 5 after convincing wins in Collegiate Grade 1, Waimea Col-lege 9A almost met their match when they faced off against Wan-derers Titans at Saxton Stadium.The more experienced Wanderers team had the upper hand in the first half with goal keep, Toni Baigent quick to the loose ball to gain valuable pos-session. Goal attack, Kirsty Lane shouldered a heavy work load through court and was the domi-nant shooter to convert 13 of her team’s 16 first half goals. The Waimea shooters did not have the same amount of possession as often the ball was squan-dered before it reached the circle. Waimea have previ-ously been miserly with their throw away ball however there were numerous way-ward passes on Saturday but it could be contributed to Wanderers’ tighter defence. Waimea found another gear after the major break to out-score Wanderers 9 – 6 in the third stanza, however the college girls were still 20 – 22 in arrears. With a sniff of vic-tory, Waimea played beyond their years and played good, solid, controlled netball for the final ten minutes. They pressured the ball through court which forced Wander-ers errors.While Waimea’s shooters Morgan Inch and Katie Dit-zel had the perfect record in the fourth quarter, convert-ing nine from nine, while Wanderers shooters lost their

rhythm to convert only five from thirteen. Hannah Davenhill was an absolute trojan in the final quarter as she gained three rebounds, four deflec-tions and an intercept. Wing de-

fence, Holly Young toiled for the entirety to pull in five intercepts and was ef-fective on the long feed. While Holly was guilty of a few off-balance passes, her play definitely had more positives than nega-

tives though. Goal shoot, Morgan had the honour of a 100% game as she converted 13 from 13. She was beautifully fed by the hard working Katie Thompson and Ruby Jensen in the hard fought 29 – 27 win.

The nomadic Crusaders of 2011 have ventured to Trafalgar Park four times this season, but while the latest win may not have been as emotionally charged as February fixture, weeks after the killer earthquake in Christchurch and also a tribute to the Pike River Miners, it was by far the most im-portant.The Crusaders shook off early rust to clinically dispose of the Sharks in the Super 15 quarter final in Nelson on Saturday night, in front of 12,000 fans facing a battle of their own – a bitterly cold winter night. The Crusaders put on a second half display to help warm the souls of red and black supporters though, if not the fingers or noses.Second half tries to Kieran Read and Nelson boy Ben Franks drove home the 36-8 win after Sonny Bill Williams dotted down in the first half. Star first five Dan Carter kicked 18 points in total with replacement pivot Matt Berquist adding a soli-tary conversion to the score board.

The win lifts the seven time Super rugby cham-pions to a semi final in Cape Town, where await-ing them are the classy Stormers, which topped the South African conference. The Crusaders will take confidence in the fact they beat the Stormers on their home patch earlier this season and will have the added bonus of All Black skipper Richie McCaw’s services. They will also be well-used to preparing on foreign soil – not playing one of its games in Christchurch this season, due to Febru-ary’s earthquake.Although not at their traditional home, Trafalgar Park has welcomed the side with open arms this season and the city boasts strong ties with many of the players. Props Ben and Owen Franks are from Motueka, Wyatt Crocket went to Nelson College, Kahn Fotuali'i is a former Mako, Ryan Crotty was born in Nelson while Tom Marshall, Jonathan Poff, Quentin MacDonald and Chris Jack are all Makos.

HARD KNOCK: Kieran Williams goes in for the hard tackle.

It would’ve been the upset of the season. Just scraping through to make it into the semi finals the previous week, Stables Waimea Old Boys were five minutes away from making it through to the finals. But a try to green machines Wakatu Hotel Marist in the dying minutes of the game saw the axe fall on their parade.Scoring the team’s last try with only

minutes remaining on the clock, Phil Gibson would’ve thought he had the deal sold, but Marist responded with a try of their own and hit the nail into the coffin with a successful conversion, with Waimea’s chances ending in heartbreak.The Marist side, who have only lost one game all season and have been unbeaten throughout the last two rounds, will now move on to play Galbraith Nelson after they beat

Stoke 44-6 at Neale Park.Waimea Old Boys division one coach Mark Milne says his side had their chances and the game was pretty even despite falling behind midway through the second half 19-9. “We came back with two tries and with around four or five minutes remaining we were ahead 23-19.”Mark says the coaching team were pretty rapted with how the boys played.

“They did most things we wanted to do, but a couple of mistakes cost us at the end of the day.”Despite this, Mark believes the team played well together and Andrew Lethan had a good first half, putting the much needed points on the board.Captain Ben Coman came off the field injured just after the start of the second half, but the blokes off the bench performed well. A tight, dominating scrum was a focal point of the game for Waimea.“The forwards played bloody well too, they were outstanding,” says Mark.The side is now “all done” for the season and is steering down the barrel of a rather long summer. “Reflecting on our performance I think we’ll be pretty disappointed results-wise,” says Mark.A few of the boys will now go on to higher honors after gaining professional contracts with the Tasman Makos. “We’re hoping a few more might get signed in the next couple of weeks,” says Mark.The Stables Waimea Old Boys thirds were the only other club team to play over the weekend, travelling to Motueka.Player coach Marc Hunter says the

game was a tough one for the boys, as Motueka had a lot of their old players back, making them stronger than in previous games. “We were down 17-0 at half time but came back with two quick tries, two conversions and a penalty.”The squad were then winning 22-17, but just like the division one side, they let in a try in the dying minutes. This was luckily unconverted, as had it gone over the win would have gone to Mot. Marc says the guys were disappointed with the loss, as they had targeted this game to win. “But it was good we were able to come back after being down 17 down.”The side is still unbeaten and at the top of the table however, and will be looking to remain there for the next eight games. “We’re still aiming to take the division three title, but there are still six round robin games to go. “We’ll be putting together our top team now, because we have a big squad we’ve been giving everyone a go up until now.”The thirds aren’t playing this weekend so the remaining divisions have a chance to catch up due to last week’s cancelations and will then be taking on Marist.

HOLD YOUR HORSES: Waimea College student Steph Marshall, riding Rosie, competes in the cross country discipline at the Tasman Secondary Schools Equestrian Event at Rough Island Equestrian Park last Wednesday. Riders from secondary schools throughout Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman competed at the event. Marlborough Girls College were the overall team winners of the Gibsons Family Shield, a combined score tallied up from each event - dressage, cross country and showjumping. Waimea finished third overall. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

The region’s rising female footballers are so good they are taking on the boys, and winning.The Nelson Suburbs Blue Crew is an all girl football team competing in the Rob-bie’s Bar & Bistro NBF under-17 Red Di-vision, against all boys teams, in order to develop further as players.Every corner of the Nelson secondary school system is represented in the team with members also competing for their college on Sundays in the Women’s Top of the South League. Nelson College for Girls and Waimea College form the bulk of the squad with five players each in the selection, Nelson Suburbs contributes two with one each from the Nayland College and Garin College first XIs.When the girls pushed the idea of the team to coach Cary Hamson and his wife Sandy, the pair were so keen, they won-dered why it hadn’t happened earlier.

“It’s a fantastic idea. We should have done this years ago,” says team manager Sandy.Cary and Sandy were joined by Simon Gordon in the coaching staff and the side aligned with Nelson Suburbs for its debut season. The girls admit every other team in the grade underestimates their talents, despite playing in women’s age-grade rep-resentative sides. “They think this is go-ing to be easy. They say sorry when they knock us over,” says Megan Hodgson, 18.But Sandy reckons the girls get accused of being the more pushy ones on the field. “The guys go in pretty hard, they realize pretty soon that they’re up for it.”They have won a couple of games and drawn one. But the primary focus for the side is developing a sharper, more physical game. “We’ve watched them grow in to re-ally good footballers. When they go back to play in the rep stuff, they’re on their game, they are quicker, they are stronger.”

The Top of the South VMX clubs Mainland se-ries round one was held at Linkwater earlier this month on a very wet and muddy track, with plenty of rain greeting the riders. The decision was made to race two rounds but after one round of racing too many bikes were finding the water too much for them. Rob Selby continued his form from the Ray An-derson dominating the pre ‘75 and Vets races with a good display of mud riding. The pre ‘86 race was won by Steve Lange with a battle for second between Rob Anglesey and Brent Daniel with Rob getting second spot. In the open race Steve Lange again took the win with Frank Burns second and another battle be-tween Brent and Rob with a mad splash to the finish line with Brent getting third and covering Rob in mud in the process. Some hardy riders went out for an all-in race. There will now be lots of work for riders to get their bikes and gear clean for round two on July 17.
