BRIEFLYGreat debate for great cause

The effect of rugby now being a professional sport will be the subject of a fundraising debate in Te Awamutu on August 13.

The Great Rugby Debate will take place at Te Awamutu Sports Club. It is one of the club’s initiatives to fundraise for potentially life saving cancer treatment for stalwart member, Lindsay Berryman.

Teams have yet to be con-fi rmed, but the debate may fea-ture Chief’s coaches Ian Foster and Farrell Te Mata against Waikato coach Warren Gatland and Chiefs and Waikato star, Jono Gibbes.

Tickets to the debate (at $30 which includes a cooked break-fast and entertainment) are available at Te Awamutu Sports and The Veterinary Centre.

There will also be an auction of donated goods and services.

Icy education “Although an ocean apart,

Antarctica exerts an icy control on the waters fl owing past New Zealand, with effects felt from the land to the deep ocean.

“As next year is the 50th an-niversary of Scott Base, now is an opportune time to look at these polar infl uences on New Zealand - past, present and (with some crystal ball gazing) future.”

So says Professor Lionel Carter of Victoria University’s Research Centre. Recently back from Antarctica, Professor Carter will be speaking at the Continuing Education meeting on Wednesday, August 2 at the Waipa Workingmen’s Club.

Show, be towed People who advertise vehi-

cles for sale on the verges of State Highways around the Waikato risk having the cars towed.

Transit New Zealand is warn-ing sellers their cars are a potential safety hazard and the practice is illegal.

Mr Allen says vehicles adver-tised for sale can take motor-ists’ eyes off the road, causing them to stop suddenly which is a potential safety hazard.

“We have not towed a vehicle yet, but we are now considering it for repeat offenders.”

Transit’s consultants are now monitoring the highways seven days a week.

A series of Phil Brown photographs depicting the diverse life on Maungatautari will be on display at the University of Waikato Academy of Performing Arts, Calder and Lawson Gal-lery, during August.

“Phil’s photographs are absolutely stunning,” says the uni-versity’s art curator Anne Harlow.

“Each skillfully captured image shows a glimpse of the col-our and life returning to Maungatautari in close and delicate detail.”

A love of photography and a passion for nature has led to Mr Brown spending hours exploring the mountain.

In late 2005 he discovered a stand of silver beech previously thought to be extinct from Maungatautari. His photographs were used to initially identify them until a team of botanists could visit the site.

Maungatautari Trust chief executive, Jim Mylchreest, says that Mr Brown’s photographs have been crucial in cataloguing the current wildlife and promoting the restoration project.

“Through his camera lens he has brought the stories of the mountain to our living rooms and inspired us all.”

Lakeland Helicopters Ltd and Epro Ltd have contributed to a sound and light show, to run along side the exhibition, fea-turing more of Phil Brown’s images to create a moving forest experience.

The static image exhibition is being staged at University of Waikato Academy of Performing Arts from August 6-27 from 10am-4pm. The sound and light show runs throughout each day for Conservation Week (August 6-11).

The notorious Puti Bluff section of State Highway 31 near Kawhia was closed over-night Saturday and is expect-ed to be down to one lane for a couple of days after a major rockfall Saturday afternoon.

Transfi eld Services report-ed about 2000m3 of material came down in the fall, includ-ing a number of monster boul-ders, but luckily no-one was endangered.

The large fall follows a

smaller slip on Wednesday which closed one-lane.

Inframax has been on the scene since the fall, clearing debris and maintaining traffi c control.

The boulders will be blasted to assist with the cleanup op-eration and hopefully the road will be back to normal tomor-row or Thursday.

Motorists are warned to take care if driving to or from Kawhia.

Our household of two adults suits the rubbish bag system because we are not charged a fl at rate, but only for what we put at the gate.

That is one bag a month.Perhaps J. Smith (July 25) has

a large family and a small sec-tion and is doing her best, but as we have wondered about people’s wasteful habits, we would like to pass on our ideas.

Firstly, organic waste is better composted or simply buried in the garden as it does not rot down mixed with other waste in our landfi lls.

Secondly, a monthly trip to the local recycling centre in Daphne

Street will clear a goodly stash of cardboard, cans, bottles and plas-tics, and also any useable objects acceptable at the interesting shop on site.

Thirdly, the most important of all, look for ways to buy less pack-aging. There are many.

Fourthly, if your bag fi lls up too quickly, compress the contents so that you don’t pay for air space.

And on Saturday morning I’m heading for the depot on Jack Rus-sell Road with a trailer full of scrap metal.

JUNE BRIGHTFriend of Mother Earth

Reducing our rubbish

I was born in this country 38 years ago. Things were hard then, there was constant alcoholism, no real role models to aspire to and not too many jobs when one left school- with no education.

The education system advanced at a single pace, so if you did not go with it you were left behind, hence I had fellow students in Form 5 that could neither read nor write.

I moved to Australia, and in 20 years lived in most of the major, and some minor centers, of the eastern seaboard.

I joined the Army and it was there that I was taught how to be a teenager and then an adult. It was also in that time that I met my partner of 17 years to whom I had

two beautiful children: Samantha and Daniel.

I recently left my partner and my two beautiful children, and returned to this developing nation. New Zealand is on the cusp of join-ing the 21st century but it is by no means there yet.

There is alcoholism, corruption, the police are helpless to arrest peo-ple in relation to the deaths of two babies. The Government is sticking up for every politician it has be-cause its position is so tenuous.

If it is that bad why not step aside and let New Zealand go ahead with-out you - Helen Clark. Why has no one sued the Government for stuff-ing my country up so badly?

Billy Black AGM guest speaker

ENTREPRENEUR Billy Black contemplates his next project, rebuilding his new boat Montunui - a 1942 Fairmile - into a fl oating hotel. Photo supplied.

Kiwi character Barry Woods aka ‘Billy Black’ of Waitomo’s Woodlyn Park should provide plenty of entertainment at this year’s Public Relations AGM.

As well as spening nine years entertaining at one of the most unique tourist at-tractions in the country, and travelling New Zealand with Don Rash, his dancing pig, Billy is now also an inspiring motivational speaker.

The Te Awamutu Com-munity Public Relations Organisation Inc. 2006 AGM takes place at 7pm in the centre’s Burchell Pavilion on Thursday, August 10. A light supper will also be provided and there is a general invita-tion to attend.

The Te Awamutu i-SITE Visitor Centre, under the ad-ministration of the commit-

tee, is dedicated to promoting an awareness of Te Awamutu and the surrounding district with the aim of attracting visitors, tourists and busi-ness interests.

Public interest and support is of value to the centre.

The meeting will report on the progress and activi-ties over the last year and the future direction of the organisation.

Members must be present to vote. If you are presently not a member and would like to join please contact the centre to enable you to have voting rights on the night.

The public is invited to contact Te Awamutu i-SITE Visitor Centre (871 3259, [email protected]) by 4pm this Friday for more infor-mation or to register their attendance.

Great coin campaign

Five cent coins have slowly been disappear-ing from circulation, with many people do-nating them to Plunket via ANZ Banks.

The ‘5s for Under Fives’ campaign has proved to be a great suc-cess - with over fi ve mil-lion coins already put into collection bins at ANZ branches around the country.

Te Awamutu ANZ branch manager Karen Kiernan says $343,713 has been rasied nation-ally, with $26,577 in the Waikato so far.

“People still have un-til the end of October to drop their coins in for Plunket, so that total will continue to rise.”

By Cathy AsplinWhen you’re shop-

ping in town this week you’re likely to get some lighter, smaller change.

New currency was introduced yesterday - the largest change since decimal curren-cy was introduced in 1967.

The 50c and 20 cent coined have ‘shrunk’ considerably, while the 10c is also smaller and

lighter, as well as a dif-ferent colour.

While the 20c and 10c are now similar in size, the 20c has a defi nite ‘nick’ in the edge to make it easier to identify for sight- impaired shoppers.

Most people will get used to the new coins fairly quickly - but there’s been a lot of work and plenty of history behind the ‘change’.

The Reserve Bank has been planning the introduction - and re-moval of fi ve cent coins - for several years.

Old silver coins, par-ticularly the 50c, were large and heavy by world standards.

The idea of reducing size was fi rst aired as long ago as 1987.

Then in 1997 a Reserve Bank survey returned a positive re-sponse for downsizing the 50c and 20c, and removal of the 5c.

The rise in metal prices from 2000 gave further impetus to the change (a 5c coin was costing 4.8c to manu-facture at the time).

In 2003 the go ahead

was given to carry out changes to our coins.

Steel plated coins had also become avail-able which meant the cost of making ‘silver’ coins was reduced.

The weight of the coins could also be re-duced. So new coins of the right size, weight and electromagnetic structure were inves-tigated.

A coin’s electromag-netic structure allows it to be recognised by vending machines and helps detect any coun-terfeits.

The new coins are made of a mixture of plated steel, nickel and copper - New Zealand is one of the few countries that has coins made of three layers.

The 230 million new coins were manufac-tured in Canada and were delivered to banks over the past month.

The old coins will be taken out of circu-lation over the next three months and shipped overseas for smelting, to be made into new coins.

Honey - they shrunk the coins!

Record attemptA feeding frenzy planned in the country

on Saturday August 5, will see hundreds of breastfeeding women giving their ‘breast’ effort to be counted as part of an attempt on the New Zealand record for “the most women breastfeeding simultaneously”.

The current record was set last year during World Breastfeeding Week at 654. Participants had so much fun that Women’s Health Action decided to co-ordinate an at-tempt on the record again this year.

Here in Te Awamutu breastfeeding moth-ers will be gathering at Matariki Maternity Unit in attempt to break the record

This record attempt is part of World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7), which has celebrations every year. The aim of World Breastfeeding Week this year is to celebrate 25 years of the International Code of the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.

Breast still the best

JUST 36-hours-old for this photo - Jaxon Dodunski will enjoy just the best breast milk from hismum Ali. 213065AD

Mother of four Ali Dodunski has no doubts ‘breast is best’.

She and husband Craig are celebrating the birth of their fourth child last week - baby Jaxon.

He has three older siblings - Tylah, Briarly and Hadley who all enjoyed being breastfed.

Mrs Dodunski says she had no other thoughts about feeding her children, and apart from being a bit ill with Briarly which forced her to use a bottle earlier than expected, fed her babies until they were ready for alternatives.

With her oldest child just fi ve, Mrs Dodunski still clearly recalls the pleasure and close rela-tionship with each child breastfeeding brings.

She says it makes mother and baby really close - a bond that lasts.

She says it is also simply easier, and naturally better for baby.

“All my kids have been healthy and happy, good babies and great toddlers,” she says.

“I’ll be feeding Jaxon for as long as he needs it,” she says.

Kath Malcolm is all too aware that many young people today don’t have the cooking or craft skills that their grandparents did.

S h e has seen many young families struggling ‘to make ends meet’ on their budg-ets and decided she would like to help out.

“There are lots of easy, cheap ways to make family meals, but many people haven’t been shown how to do this. They tend to spend more money than they need to on processed or pre-

packaged goods, or possibly on takeaway meals.

“I’m hoping to show them how they can spend a minimal amount on ingredients and get maximum results.

“Often this can be done in a similar time frame to what it takes to reheat a packaged meal.”

Mrs Malcolm has set up a free course as part of a Presbyterian Church outreach project.

‘Project Homemade’ is a free six week course in which she will share cooking and craft

tips.It will be run each Wednesday

from August 9 and has a creche operating to cater for parents of young families.

The course is limited to eight people at a time (waiting list available for future courses) and participants may be asked to provide some items for classes.

For more information or to secure a place on the Project Homemade course contact Mrs Malcolm (ph 871 5748).

Visitors to the upstairs auction rooms and offc-es of real estate company LJ Hooker now have a local scene to admire as they climb the stairs.

Te Awamutu branch principal Diane Tyer says they had been looking for some artwork for the blank wall at the top of the stairs for some time,

“As one of our agents has a daughter attending art classes, we decided to approach the Waipa So-ciety of Artists and ask if the students would like to create something for us.

“We were pleased they took up the challenge and delighted with the professional job they have done. We think it’s fantastic.”

Under the guidance of tutor Teresa Siemonek,

the Monday afternoon art class pupils from Te Awamutu Intermediate and Te Awamutu Pri-mary created a rural scene, complete with an LJ Hooker ‘for sale’ sign on the property in the foreground.

Mrs Siemonek says the pupils worked on the piece one or two at a time during their weekly classes and enjoyed creating something that will be viewed in a commerical setting.

The students have now turned their attention to getting pieces ready for a public exhibition.

Their work will be featuring on the walls of the G-net Cafe (Bank Street) for three weeks from August 28.

One of the major complaints the Board receives is about rubbish around our streets and roads.

It seems the worst spots are where motorists would have fi n-ished eating their fast food and just thrown their packaging out of the car or back window.

It’s a disgusting habit, leaving others to pick up the mess and, of course, the cost of cleaning up lands on the ratepayer.

It’s against the law and if you take the vehicle number Council can take action.

Another one of our gripes is the number of shop owners who va-cate the business, but do not take the signage down.

Photos of signage presented to the meeting showed how the signs looked really neglected and they would be misleading to the shopper.

Maybe the Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce might like to take this on board to help make Te Awamutu a better place to shop, and tidy up our look.

We have listened to a presentation on homelessness/overcrowding in Te Awamutu and we will work with agencies to gain more information.

We are not sure how to fi nd out whether there is a need for subsidies for taxi fares.

But if you, or your organisation, have a need, please let us know. A review is being carried out.

It is so pleasing to see the new footpath from Golf Road to the golf course fi nished. Transit will complete the path soon. This has made life much safer for pedestrians walking from Kihikihi to Te Awamutu and there seems to be more pedes-trians than ever.

The Community Board recommended to Council that some action be taken to create a safe crossing outside the Col-lege. Accidents and near misses are happening and we are alarmed that this is so.

The Board continues to keep up to date with information on Pioneer Walk and I hope many of you have taken advantage of the new pathway to have a pleasant walk.

We can now see our Rose Garden and thanks to the parks and reserves department for all the work going there.

The long term option for some of our sporting codes are being considered and our hardy annuals of footpaths, street-lighting etc are always on the agenda.

Our open forum is from 7pm-7.30pm and we look forward to hearing from you on the second Tuesday of each month.

Pride in town a job for everyone

GSE trip offers chance to travel, learn

Kihikihi Rotary Club is once again offering an opportunity for a local person to advance their career and experience in an overseas study tour - all expenses paid.

Group Study Exchange (GSE) pro-motes international understanding by giving future leaders the chance to see what another part of the world is like and to further their own occupa-tional interests.

Recent GSE tours from this district have been to Brazil, Israel, Sweden, Canada, Germany and Argentina and now the Rotary District is calling for nominations from outstanding peo-ple, aged 25-40, to go to Finland.

The four team members, with a Ro-tarian leader, will be away for about fi ve weeks. During the tour they will study and experience the social, busi-ness, agricultural and recreational features of their host district, and at the same time, through home hosting by Rotarians, make personal contacts and friendships.

Each team member will have fi ve days when he/she will be able to see how their own occupation is carried out in that part of the world.

Locals who have been on an ex-change, such as Graham Jull and Keith Storey, describe it as an unfor-gettable experience.

The total cost of transport and ac-commodation is provided by Rotary - the awardee is expected to pay only personal expenses.

For more information contact club members, Trevor Morrison (871 8543) or Rex Bedford (870 2580) or refer to classifi ed advertisement.

Johanson hoping to kick up a storm

By Colin ThorsenTwo-times British

kickboxing cham-pion Marlon Hunt is in for one hell of a fi ght against hometown fa-vourite Brad Johanson in Te Awamutu on Au-gust 19.

At stake at ASB Bank Stadium will be the vacant world cruis-erweight title.

Johanson is so fi red up for a shot at the world title, his coach is struggling for sparring partners.

“He’s just destroy-ing them,” says Rick Dobson.

“The only partner able to keep up with him is Doug McWat-ters of Cambridge - ‘The Black Scorpion’ - who is training for a national title.”

Johanson is train-ing fi ve days a week, including running and swimming.

Swimming is something new to the former Te Awamutu Peace Cup rugby representative.

“He’s a great fi ghter but no fi sh,” quips Dob-son.

“There was lots and lots of splashing but no movement at his fi rst attempt. He’s now up to 30 lengths each session of hard out, fast swim-ming.”

Johanson is out on the road running constantly and in the kickboxing gym most mornings and evenings.

His three-times a week set routine consists of warm ups, stretching, body conditioning, pad work, bag work and speedball training.

He presently spars for up to eight rounds. By the time of the world title fi ght he’ll be doing 12 in order to be fi tter and stronger for the eight, two minute rounds against Hunt.

Dobson says he has never seen his protégé train like this.

“For the worlds last year, Brad had a very relaxed manner about his training, but he’s like a demon, a man possessed.”

Losing in Hungary still haunts him.

“He’s not a good loser,” says Dobson.

“He is a good sport, he takes the decision well, is always the fi rst to congratulate his op-ponent, but he person-ally doesn’t take losing well.”

In retrospect, the loss in Hungary has done Johanson the world of good.

It has made him realise he is beatable. It is spurring him on to win.

He knows he has got the support of the town behind him. He is intent on holding the

world title belt up for them.There will be 12 fi ghts on the night. Feature

bouts are two Waikato regional championships, one national championship and three world title fi ghts, including Otorohanga’s Wiki Tutaki.

The third fi ghter going for a world title is Sue Latta of Palmerston North. The former Muay Thai World champion will meet current British champion Karen Dews from UK.

A ‘Meet the Fighters’ night is being held at the Redoubt on August 13.

Tickets to the WAKO Kickboxing Champion-ships at ASB Bank Stadium, Trust Walkato Te Awamutu Events Centre on August 19 are avail-able from the Phantom Kickboxing Academy or phone 0800 542548. There will be door sales on the night, only if tickets are still available. Be in quick, they are selling fast.

ONE TO BEAT: British champion Marlon Hunt.

Plenty of point to fencing

By Colin ThorsenA former South African fencer

ranked 24th in Gauteng in 2005 is keen to start up a club in Te Awamutu.

Emanuel Maisel is encouraged by the response he is receiving around town.

“People seem very enthusiastic. There seems to be a need for this sport here.”

The labour/employment consult-ant has already recruited 15 mem-bers for his twice weekly lessons at St Johns Anglican Hall on Tuesday/Thursday evening.

Assisting him is son Kan (15). He was runner-up in the under-16 age group at Gauteng national champi-onships in South Africa last year.

Fencing is a form of fi ghting which has been called ‘Chess with muscles’.

Some liken the sport to tag, the children’s backyard game where all you have to do is touch the other person.

Maisel says there are numerous rules about how and when you make contact with an opponent, but that is the basic idea.

A great deal has been said and written about how complicated fenc-ing is and how diffi cult to learn.

“That is not necessarily the case,” according to Maisel.

“I will show newcomers that the most important elements are rela-tively few. That you don’t have to know many moves in order to fence skilfully and intelligently.”

Although some of the postures and movements will be strange, different from anything you have done before, he is adamant that you won’t have to wait long to start playing the game.

People start to fence for various reasons.

Many children (and older people) get excited by movies like Zorro, Captain Blood, Scaramouche and the Three Musketers.

“Modern fencing is not like that, but it’s very exciting in its own qui-eter way,” says Maisel.

“To some, fencing is a challenge precisely because they have heard it is diffi cult and everything else they have tried has been too easy.

“Others have heard that fencing makes you graceful, improves your posture, improves your co-ordina-tion.”

If you are interested in trying your hand at fencing, contact Emanuel Maisel on 021 1513455 or 871 8676.

Nomads upset Nomads Too 10-7 on the fi nal night of the subsidiary darts round.

The result denied Nomads Too the opportunity of making the ‘top eight’ teams for the division one championship.

A win to Nomads Too would have necessitated a countback involving fi ve teams, all with eight wins from 14 games, to decide the eighth seeeded team.

Ohaupo won the subsidiary round with an un-blemished record of 14 straight wins.

Arrows were the runners-up with 13 wins, with Warriors third on 12 wins.

Rebels (10 wins), FBI (6), Waikeria (6), Pirongia (6) and Stranglers (6) make up the top eight.

The seven teams to contest the division two championship are Nomads Too (seven wins), No-mads (5), RSA (5), Marist II (3), Riff Raff (2), Hob-bits (1) and Marist (1).

Warriors’ Ken Bardsley threw the only 180 in the 14th series of subsidiary round matches.

Stranglers beat Marist II 13-4, Rebels dealt to Hobbits 14-3, Pirongia accounted for Waikeria 11-6, Nomads pipped Nomads Too 10-7, Warriors defeated FBI 13-4, Arrows thumped Marist I 16-1 and RSA outgunned Riff Raff 13-4. Ohaupo had the bye.

No favours for darts club-mates

DARTS GUN Ken Bardsley nails another 180.

Super Sports trifecta

U19s all guts, determination

By Colin ThorsenIt was one of the most

successful day’s in the history of Te Awamutu Sports Club, formed in 1990.

The premier side beat Morrinsville Sports 18-15 to claim the Lion Cup, the Senior B team coasted to a 43-6 vic-tory over Morrinsville Sports in the fi nal of the promotion-relegation competition and the under-19 side stormed home to beat Hamilton Marist 24-0 in their semi-fi nal.

Ecolab Te Awamutu Sports Senior A capped their season with a thrilling three point victory over Morrins-ville Sports, stretching their unbeaten run to 11 games.

Peter Bain reports that no quarter was given by either side in what was a very physi-cal encounter.

Morrinsville domi-nated possession in the

early stanza, keeping Sports pinned deep in their own half. They were rewarded with a try after breaking through in midfi eld.

Sports went on the attack from the restart, looking dangerous out wide with wing Seta Nabanisau making a lot of ground every time he received the ball.

The ball was moved quickly from a ruck to fi rst-fi ve Waylon Tanga-hou, who sliced through a gap at pace to score in the corner. He added the conversion, then a penalty for Sports to lead 10-8 at halftime.

A further Tangohau penalty opened the sec-ond half scoring.

Sports were their own worst enemy when they failed to clear the ball inside their 22. A mix-up in the backs saw a pass go straight to a Morrinsville player to score untouched beside the posts to take a 15-

13 lead. Sports used their pace

out wide to good effect for the match-winning try to their outstand-ing fullback Jordan Craig. He left the cover defence in his wake on a brilliant run down the grandstand touchline.

The remaining min-utes saw Morrinsville throw everything at Sports but the defence, particularly that of outstanding young prop Keiran Ramage, and discipline held.

Coach Kerry Eynon was thrilled with his team’s effort through-out the promotion-rel-egation round.

Next season looks promising with all the new players having learned a lot and will be so much better for the experience.

Players to impress have been Jono Arm-strong with his brutal defence, Jordan Craigs’ attacking abilities,and

lock Daniel Gujers tire-less efforts up front. Mike Mullholland and Brett Robb spent a large part of the season with injuries, but still added a lot when they were fi t.

Experienced players Luke Parsons and Way-lon Tangohau made a huge impact when they returned from overseas.

It was a good season overall after the disap-pointment of missing the top six by one point.

Rugged Te Awamutu Sports under-19 captain Raymond Spooner is adamant his team will have their feet fi rmly on the ground come next Saturday’s Waikato fi -nal against University.

“The boys are con-fi dent but not over confi dent. I can smell the hunger there,” said Spooner after his team had dealt to Hamilton Marist 24-0 in the semi-fi nal.

The match was a bat-tle of attrition, contrary to the fi nal scoreline.

Hamilton Marist threw everything at the home team in the opening 20 minutes. But for the second consecutive week in the playoffs, the oppo-sition could not breach the watertight Te Awamutu Sports defence.

The only scoring in the fi rst half came courtesy of a Nathan Merriman penalty to give Te Awamutu Sports a 3-0 lead.

They ran in three second half tries when their superior fi tness began to take its toll.

It is always diffi cult to single out a player in such a wonderful team effort, but the undoubted star was centre Mark Murray. He was a constant thorn in Marist’s side, making a break and drawing the fullback to set up wing Mathew Hawkin’s try. He then scored his team’s second try with an intercept and diagnonal run of 60m to the tryline.

In three golden hours at Albert Park on Saturday, Te Awamutu Sports rugby teams won two Waikato titles and secured the home ground advantage as top quali-fi er for next week’s under-19 championship fi nal.

Fantastic season capped

CRACKER SEASON: Te Awamutu Sports Senior B rugby team in celebratory mood after recording their 19th win in 20 games on Saturday. They scored 658 points and conceded 123. 2130617AD

There is no disputing Te Awamutu Sports were the best senior B rugby team in the Waikato in 2006.

The Joe Crowley coach side ran in six tries over-whelming Morrinsville Sports 43-6 in the promotion-relegation fi nal at Albert Park on Saturday.

It was a travesty of justice that they were required to drop down to this division after winning the premier senior B preliminary round earlier in the season. They beat the two teams who went on to play off for the premier senior B championship, Hamilton Marist and Hamilton Old Boys.

Try scorers against Morrinsville were Zeon Tapu, Mike Van der Hulst, Zane Padman, Peter Martyn (2) and Andrew Ranger. Thomas Bird landed fi ve out of six conversions, along with a penalty.

The game was as good as won with Sports leading 31-3 at halftime.

Game highlights were an 80m intercept try to An-drew Ranger and a brace of tries to second half sub-stitute Peter Martyn. Player of the day went to Dean Tucker for his relentless efforts around the ruck.

Coach Crowley and management staff would like to thank sponsors Ecolab and especially Lindsay Berry-man for all their support throughout the season.

Crowley was full of praise for his team, saying they had played good, hard rugby all season.

He wished to acknowledge those leaving the side, Italian hooker Marco Polo, retiring Matt Sherwin and veteran Kane Titchener.

U19s in fi nalFrom page 16.

Murray is big and strong, has a powerful fend and ghosts into gaps. He is deceptively quick and is brutal on defence, often seen en-veloping his opposite in the tackle and ripping the ball clear.

The win was capped with an opportunist try to wing Ryan Patterson. He raced 40 metres for a try behind the posts after being rewarded for a good chase, with a kind bounce, when the Marist winger made a hash of controlling a wiper’s kick from Merriman.

Replacement wing Wiremu Brown kicked two conversions, including a beauty from the sideline just as he had done the previous week against Morrinsville Sports.

There was a boilover in the other under-19 semi-fi nal in Hamilton.

Fraser Tech, unbeaten all season, stumbled at their second to last hurdle - beaten 17-16 by University.

Tech scored a seeming match-winning try in the fi nal minute of play but their kicker missed the gift conversion which would have given them the win and a spot in the fi nal against Te Awamutu Sports.
