Heat Wave

By Jacob Page As Blenheim swelters in record temperatures, Renwick residents are told to curb their water usage and a fire ban has been in force for 24 hours.

Marlburians are trying to find any way they can to beat the heat and the Marlborough District Council is urging common sense on water usage to limit the risk of restrictions in some areas.

Responsibility urged to avoid water crisis Continued from page 1 Blenheim had its warmest temperature recorded in five years last weekend – a whopping 32.6 degrees Celsius, which put pressure on water supplies throughout the region and increased the risk of fire danger and drought.

MetService communications meteorologist, John Law (pictured) says Blenheim has not had any rain this year and while “a few showers” were likely over the next couple of days it was unlikely to provide much relief.

“Marlborough has not had any rain since New Year’s Eve according to our weather sta-

tion (at Blenheim Airport) and even then it was only 9mm so it wasn’t a large amount,” Law says.

“While there are some forecast showers for (tomorrow)... It’s unlikely to do much to ease concerns about moisture levels on the ground and in the soil.

He said a switch from the cooler easterlies to the much warmer, fiercer north westerlies next week would likely see a return to warmer temperatures and increase the risk of water evaporation.

In Blenheim about 34,500 cubic metres of water was used on both Saturday and Sunday which is more than twice the winter level.

Renwick used 3400cum last Sunday despite being warned about the risk of the lower water levels by the Marlborough District Council’s operations and maintenance engineer Stephen Rooney.

The Sun

Rooney says while the rain prior to the start of 2015 certainly helped matters, Renwick residents would have to improve if they wanted to avoided alternate day water restrictions on sprinklers and hoses.

Rooney has also received three calls in the past couple of days of Renwick people dobbing in other residents who had their irrigation systems going throughout the day and night.

MDC hydrologist Val Wadsworth says while moisture levels in the soil would be an issue for postural farmers, river levels were not at crisis point yet but would be closely monitored.

Cadets learn new skills

By Jacob Page While most teenagers soak up the summer sun, 150 Air Training Corps cadets from across New Zealand are learning to fly solo, navigate, and survive in the bush during the New Zealand Cadet Forces courses in Marlborough.

The course commander for both of these aviation courses is Captain Alastair Rankin, who is a Marlborough Boys’ College old boy and ex-member of No 27 (Blenheim) Squadron, Air Training Corps.

He says he has the best job in the country, seeing amazing young folk achieving outstanding things every day.

This year there are three courses which conclude today after a fortnight of activity, including a navigation course, a power flying course, and a bush craft course.

During the navigation course 18 cadets are learning to plot flight

plans (legs) over the Kaikoura coast, inland Marlborough, and down to Hanmer and the Sounds/ Tasman areas. While plotting the legs they are also taking into account the weight of fuel, wind speed and direction, and other meteorological factors.

The qualification counts toward the Private Pilot’s Licence, so is a highly sought prize.

The power flying course is open to 35 cadets who are learning to fly solo. Those who perform exceptionally well in this course may be selected for a Royal New Zealand Air Force Flying Scholarship for 10 days at RNZAF Base Ohakea, hosted by the Pilot Training School. This would include familiarisation flights in the new NH-90 helicopter and T6-C Texan II pilot training airframes.

Cadets practise river crossing techniques during the New Zealand Cadet Forces Bushcraft Course in Marlborough.

Total Fire Ban Effective until further notice

The public are advised that a prohibited fire season is now in force • Gas barbeques are not included in the prohibition • All fire permits already issued are suspended.

Helicopters prevent forest fire spread

By Jacob Page The use of helicopters proved vital in preventing a three hectare forest fire from causing more damage on Wednesday night.

Firefighters were called to the fire on commercial land near Tunakino Valley Road at about 3.45pm by members of the public and battled it for more than five hours.

A total of 25 firefighters from Linkwater, Okiwi Bay, Canvastown and the Department of Conservation in Picton fought

Richard McNamara

the blaze.

Marlborough-Kaikoura prin-

cipal rural fire officer Richard McNamara says the fire was likely started by heavy machinery.

He says four helicopters with monsoon buckets performed “hundreds of drops” for several hours which helped contain the fire earlier than it would have been with just ground crews.

“Terrain was tough for ground crews to access and we couldn’t get fire trucks that close because of the slope so the helicopters were very important.”

The helicopters were able to

cover a larger area in a shorter period of time and McNamara says the fire would have spread a lot more than it did had it not been for their prompt work.

McNamara says people must respect the fire danger during dry weather, as they could be found liable for damage caused.

He says crews spent much of yesterday getting the area fully contained and they would use a thermal camera today to ensure there were no small fires still burning.

Wild encounters with nature Story and photo

by Celeste Lodewyk When Kishan Kirkwood completed his secondary education at Marlborough Boys’ College, he knew immediately what he wanted to do - work with wildlife.

After three years of studying science, zoology and ecology, the now 23-year-old is in his element working with a variety of species, from owls and penguins through to reptiles and birds.

“It’s what I love to do, I have always had an interest in this field,” he says.

Kishan, a technician and guide at Eco World Aquarium in Picton, is currently working with a rare Fiordland Crested Penguin which, when the Sun visited, wasn’t too happy about being disturbed for a photograph.

“You don’t want to get too close to its beak, it’ll bite,” Kishan told some curious children as they edged closer for a look.

Regan Russell and Kishan Kirkwood.

One of his more memorable encounters with wildlife was a tiny baby penguin which when it arrived, weighed only 100 grams.

“That’s what I love about work-

ing in this field, there’s always something different going on and new people to meet,” he says.

Sharing the same passion is Regan Russell, who has also

dedicated his career to wildlife and conservation.

He works alongside Kishan while also managing the aquarium.

Asked what has been his favourite species to work with, his immediate reply was the ‘Tuatara’.

“Most people underestimate the Tuatara. They have been around so long and are unique to New Zealand, so people can learn a lot from them.”

He says his most memorable moments working with wildlife during his career were being bitten by the tuataras, and being stung by a stingray through the hand.

“The most painful was the stingray barb in the hand,” he laughs.

“I had injured my fingers the week before playing sport and was told that was a painful injury.

“I had to disagree after the stingray,” he joked.

POLICE INVOLVED IN CRASH Marlborough Police are investigating a crash on State Highway 1 on Tuesday night which involved a Police Highway Patrol car and a private vehicle with two occupants.

The crash happened about 7.30pm near Dead Man Stream.

Marlborough Area commander inspector Simon Feltham says none of the occupants of the vehicles suffered serious injuries; however the female passenger in the car was taken for a medical check up.

He says a serious crash investigation was under way and that early indications were that the police vehicle was at fault.

Chef in Marlborough

Nursery to help at grassroots level

Tickets are still on sale for the Sweet-Az Sun Festival, to be held at Lansdowne Park on Waitangi Day. Tiki Taane and Optimus Gryme are among the acts playing at the event.

Tickets are available from Dolce Café or online from Cosmicticketing.

By Adam Poulopoulos A local nursery will be offering free vegetable plants to kindergartens when children return, in an attempt to grow their interest in gardening.

Marlborough Nursery, on the corner of Old Renwick Road and Hammerichs Road, will be sending out flyers in the near future looking for feedback on the idea.

Nursery owner Rose Harrison says the move is a no-brainer.

“Kindergarten translates to ‘child’s garden’ in German.

“We’re more than happy to provide plants for the kids.”

Harrison is unsure which

plants will be given yet.

She bought the business from Ross Cunningham at the end of last year, and the initiative is one of her first new directives.

One of the nursery employees, Rose Gledhill, says the move would have several benefits.

“We want to inspire the younger generation to get into gardening. It gets them into eating better too.

“A lot of young people garden, and if they start young their parents often get into it too.”

Rose Gledhill displays some of the plants kindergartens may see in the new year.

Tickets are selling fast for the Marlborough Food and Wine Festival on Valentine’s Day, with a spike since the start of the year.

Wine Marlborough events manager Samantha Young says ticket sales are on a par with the same time last year, with the Black Seeds and MasterChef New Zealand winners Kasey and Karena Bird proving popular.

She says around 8000 people, including stallholders and door sales, are expected to be present in the event.

Emma and Blair McArtney with their children Emere, 5, and Sidney, 3.

By Adam Poulopoulos For early childhood teacher Emma McArtney, caring for kids has always been a passion.

So as her daughter got older, she and husband Blair took the opportunity to make that passion their business.

Emma and Blair are the new owners of childcare centre Happy Faces, on Alana Place.

Emma has about six weeks to go in her early childhood degree, but decided to move into business as daughter Emere, 5, grew older.

She hopes to undertake a gradual revamp of the centre, especially in its outdoor area.

“The children said they wanted computers and iPads, but they’ve also asked for sports gear.”

A holiday programme and an after-school programme are already running at the centre, but

Emma hopes to start a beforeschool programme when term opens in early February.

Open to Witherlea School students, the programme will see parents drop their children off at the centre at 7:30am, when they will be fed and then dropped off at school.

“Hopefully it will make for a more relaxed morning for families knowing they are going to have breakfast at Happy Faces,” Emma says.

She says the centre’s overall philosophy is to make sure the children have fun in a fresh, vibrant environment.

“We’re looking to create a partnership with our families, and there are many more plans for the future, so keep an eye out.”

Happy Faces also hosts parties and events.

New employee at MTF Vehicle finance business MTF has hired a new advisor to help with growing demand.

Svenja Morgan, who was has lived in Marlborough for the last 16 years, joined the business on December 1 last year.

She moved from State Insurance after a company restructure. Although this was a tough experience to go through she believes everything has worked out how it was supposed to.

She says she enjoys being able to interact with more customers face-to-face and being able to help them out with their financial needs.

“MTF and Eva have been great to me and have made fitting into the team easy. I’m really enjoying the new challenges and working for such a passionate business.”

Svenja Morgan

Branch manager Eva Francis calls Svenja her “right-hand lady”, and says, Svenja has made a smooth transition.

“We needed to expand the team. The business is growing.

We are looking forward to a successful 2015”

Draft Marlborough Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2021 Marlborough District Council is seeking feedback on its Draft Marlborough Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2021 (the Draft Plan).

The Marlborough Regional Land Transport Plan is a critical document for the Marlborough District as it underpins all of the District’s road network and transportation planning and investment priorities over the next six years. The Top of the South councils, in partnership with the New Zealand Transport Agency, have collaborated to develop a joint Draft Regional Land Transport Plan that aims to provide our community with an

efficient, safe and resilient road network. Section F outlines the specific issues that each of the three councils face in their region and how they intend to deal with these issues. Each council has developed their own programme of forward works for the next ten years. The Draft Plan also includes the New Zealand Transport Agency’s State Highway programme to provide the complete picture of the works planned over the next six years in the Marlborough District.

A full Statement of Proposal (the Draft Plan) can be viewed at the offices of the Marlborough District

Council, 15 Seymour Street, Blenheim or on Council’s website www.marlborough. govt.nz.

Copies of the Executive Summary of the Draft Plan (including Section F) can be obtained, free of charge, from Council’s District Administration Building, 15 Seymour Street, Blenheim; Marlborough Library, 33 Arthur Street, Blenheim; and Picton Library and Service Centre, 67 High Street, Picton. The Summary is also available on www. marlborough.govt.nz.

If you wish to make a submission on the Draft Plan, please provide it in writing to PO Box 443, Blenheim 7240 or by fax to

03 520 7496 or by email to mike.porter@marlborough. govt.nz. Please include your name and postal address, and daytime phone number so that we can acknowledge your submission, and also please indicate in your submission if you wish to speak.

Submissions must be made to Council by 5.00 pm on Friday 13 February 2015. If you wish to speak to your submission, the hearing is proposed to be held as soon as possible after this date. A Council Officer will contact you prior to the hearing date to arrange a time for you to speak to your submission.

Council maintains some 280 kilometres of community drainage channels on the Lower Wairau Floodplains for land drainage and partial flood mitigation purposes.

We are currently investigating the need and desire, expressed by the affected community, to expand and/or adjust the drainage network to improve the Level of Service.

We are seeking submissions from landowners in these areas as to whether they believe these drainage network extensions/adjustments are required, ie; is there a need for it.

Most of the proposed drain extensions

Marlborough District Council PO Box 443 Blenheim 7240 New Zealand

already exist and are connected to the Council maintained drainage network. The identified extension drains are currently not maintained to the standard that the Council sets; accordingly Council cannot control the level of drainage service provided.

Council will consider all relevant submissions received from the affected community and individual landowners.

Where submissions are appropriately supporting the proposed extensions/ adjustments to the land drainage network Council shall commence the process in order to adopt the new and or adjusted drains onto the

The Sun Kid’s shoes

Beach frustration

I went to Rebal to look at kids shoes in the sale.

Prices were great, but I ended up purchasing from Mitchell Sports because of the customer service there, the staff put effort into sizing shoes properly & they know their products well. I did also receive a discount! I’m happy to pay a little more money to know my children have shoes that are fitted properly & I’m supporting local.

Very disappointed with the Rarangi surf life saving on Sunday afternoon. BF you need to learn to slow down when approaching the beach in IRB especially with a lot of young children around. Also wondering who pays for the fuel bill when it is getting used for leisure?

Blue hat

Dear Ed, I agree wholeheartedly with Tony Orman’s letter about “New Year Gongs.”

I also congratulate Liz Evans and Ted Collins on their recognition of services “unselfishly” rendered. But I cannot support gongs to well paid, self-serving politicians or business men who have only been focused on self interest and personal wealth.

Awarding MPS like Ryall and McCully only demeans the awards. Meanwhile rest assured all will say “good one” to Liz’s and Ted’s awards.

Dear Ed, It always surprises me how people use excessive amounts of water this time of year.

Yes, it’s nice to have a green lawn but when temperatures are high and water levels are getting low it baffles me that people can be so selfish by leaving their sprinklers and hoses going for hours at at time.

People need to show more empathy and act responsibly or the province as a whole could suffer.

Champ to defend title without late playing partner

By Adam Poulopoulos Rarangi Summer Golf Spectacular women’s title-holder Sue Lang will play to retain her title with a new partner, after her old teammate passed away from cancer.

Lang and partner Lynne Phillips won the event last January, coming back from nine shots down after the first day to win by two.

This weekend, she will play with Tristine Cooke, after Phillips lost her eight-month battle with cancer at the start of December.

She says it is her duty to play on while remembering Lynne, a former Rarangi Golf Club stalwart and a “really good lady.”

“On Saturday it’ll be weird not playing with Lynne, but I’ll always be playing in the Spectacular. It’s what we do.

“I’m sure Lynne will be looking down and saying ‘go well Sue and Tristine.”

Sue had played in several tournaments before her victory, but it was Lynne’s first event.

Sue says she remembers Lynne being in disbelief after they pulled off their great comeback.

“She had to go and work at the Junction Hotel, and she said ‘give us a ring when you have the results.’ She thought we’d got third.

“I called her and said ‘you’ve got to come back because we’ve come first.”

Three months later, Lynne was diagnosed, and three weeks before she passed away she contacted Sue. “She said ‘you better get another partner. I’m not well enough to defend it,” Sue says.

Sue and Tristine have not practiced together at all, but the champion said it was combining on the day that counted.

“It’s a pretty mean thing to try and win.

If you play well on Saturday it doesn’t mean you’ll play well on Sunday.

“There’s got to be no pressure on the other person. You don’t mention the word ‘sorry’. You’ve just got to get on with it.”

About 120 men’s and women’s pairs are signed up for the tournament.

Places may still be available. For more information, contact convenor Martyn Birch.

WINZ reopens The Blenheim Work and Income New Zealand office has been reopened in a new location, after its permanent home was set alight on Christmas Day. The office is now operating out of level two of Porse House, at 1 Market Street.

Its usual home, at 3 Alfred Street, has been closed indefinitely following the attack.

The man charged with the attack has name suppression.

Moa loses deal Air New Zealand has pulled the pin on a contract with Blenheim-based craft brewer Moa just one year into a three year deal.

It was the only beer brewed by a New Zealand-owned brewery served by Air New Zealand on its flight and in its Koru lounges.

Experience The Sounds

Bush pilot set for landing

By Celeste Lodewyk Flying and aircraft have long been a passion for local man Chris Anderson.

Five months ago Chris imported his second plane, a Rotax 912 powered Zenith CH701, which he will be competing in at the Healthy Bastards Bush Pilot Champs being held at Omaka on Saturday, January 31.

The event is a ‘precision landing’, and STOL takeoff and landing competition held annually at Omaka Airfield by the Marlborough Aero Club.

Owning a plane is an achievement he has worked towards for a long time.

“As a youngster I remember sitting for hours watching the late Ron Flintoff working on aircraft, and

learning to build model planes.

“I really looked up to Ron and went on to spend weekends with him out at Omaka from the age of 11.

“He was the one who put the flying bug in my system,” he says.

Nearly three years ago Chris set about gaining his national microlight license, and says his next goal is to finish his helicopter pilot licence.

“There’s something special about flying.

“It’s a peaceful feeling up there, you get a sense of freedom.”

The current STOL microlight champ Deane Phillip flew to America, inspected and packed up the Zenith and shipped it back for Chris.

Looking forward to the competition, he says the Zenith is more than capable of winning but it will come

down to his own flying skills.

“It will be good fun, I’m looking forward to it.”

Marlborough Aero Club president Craig Anderson said entries were looking ‘good’, with 50 received to date.

“Last year we had 68 entries so it’s looking like this year will be another successful one with a lot of new people we haven’t seen before,” he says.

“A big thank you to Crown Sheet Metal, Edge Performance in Norway, Eckford Engineering machine shop, Gregory Engineering Picton, Stuart Buftin and Grant Porter. If there’s any interest in this model of aircraft contact Deane Phillip via Rangiora Aero Club,” Chris says.

Blenheim’s creative IT company, Managed Computer Networks, has developed a local, cloud-based Offsite Backup Service that offers clients control and security over the total backup spectrum at an affordable price.

Why is being able to see this backup spectrum important? “In the past, we were only able to see one end, which was where the backups were being generated; we couldn’t actually see where it was going to (in the cloud) and in what state it was arriving,” says Azher Mir, MCN’s Managing Director. Through providing a local cloud, MCN can reassure its clients that their information is being looked after beginning, middle and end, that the information has arrived to their data centre correctly, and that it has reconstructed the information in its entirety.

So if it’s good that the cloud is ‘local’, where is it otherwise and why is that not ideal? “The perception is that the cloud is a secure location and that because we don’t know where it is, then nobody should know where it is. That is completely the wrong way around,” explains Azher. “The cloud is in a piece of hardware sitting somewhere in the world with traffic going from one place to another

via any number of different computers. And any one of those computers could be monitoring what’s going through it.”

To address this security issue, MCN encrypt the information at both ends of the highway, requiring a password to deconstruct and reconstruct the information held within a file. Another advantage of using MCN’s local backup system is the ease of meeting IRD record keeping obligations, which can be tricky when financial information is stored outside New Zealand.

How much does this new, local, secure backup system cost compared to the cloud services that are currently available? “We charge one fee $95.00 plus GST per server per month; however much data is consumed is irrelevant,” says Azher.

Knowing how much it’s going to cost for your backup and offsite backups is peace of mind. And if there is an issue it doesn’t cost more because it’s all part of that fee.

MCN’s offsite backup service eases clients’ concerns about security, data limits and budget blow-outs. Not only do their clients know where the cloud is, but they also just might reach the end of the Internet.

MAKING WAVES Beautiful but dangerous Fishing from small vessels is by far the most popular pastime for Marlburians.

As unique and beautiful our waters are, it’s also a dangerous marine environment.

To ensure you return home safely from your day on the water, there are a few things you need to be aware of before heading out, or when you’re at anchor waiting for the big one.

• Check the weather before you head out and monitor it while you’re out. If in doubt, don’t go.

• Wear your lifejacket. It’s a good habit to get into, especially in small boats.

When things go wrong, they can go wrong very quickly. Often there’s not enough time to access your lifejacket and put it on.

Don’t treat the Marlborough Sounds like a rubbish dump.

Dispose of your household, boating or commercial rubbish thoughtfully, and protect our waters for future generations to enjoy.

• Take communications and carry at least two means of communication with you.

Keep them on you and keep them dry.

Let someone responsible know where you’re going out and when you’re due back.

• Avoid alcohol or keep consumption to a minimum.

• Stow your gear. Loose fishing gear in the boat when you’re travelling at speed can be dangerous and distracting and will affect your stability.

• Keep your decks clean. A clean deck and transom area will prevent your bilge pumps and drain holes from blocking up. A build-up of water on the deck can affect stability and cause a capsize.

Seafarer Marine Engineering Ltd 11 Market Street, Picton Tel: (03) 573 8911 • Email: seafarer@xtra.co.nz

The normal boating rules for power boats apply, along with the following additional safety rules.

These apply to people who are waterskiing, riding sea biscuits, wakeboarding and towing anyone: • There must be a minimum of three to ski – one to ski, one to drive the boat, and the third person, who must be at least 10 years old, to watch the skier, so the skipper can concentrate on driving the boat safely • Skiers must wear an appropriate buoy-

ancy aid • Avoid shallow water • When picking up a skier, turn the boat towards the side the skier is on, so that the propeller swings away from the skier • You must not water-ski between sunset and sunrise • Towing boats should display a red flag when anyone has fallen off skis or a skibiscuit to warn other boats in the area to keep a lookout for them.

Fascinating ocean facts Each year, three times as much rubbish is dumped into the world’s oceans as the weight of fish caught.

A mouthful of seawater may contain millions of bacterial cells, hundreds of thousands of phytoplankton and tens of thousands of zooplankton.

The Arctic produces 10,00050,000 icebergs annually. The amount produced in the Antarctic regions is inestimable. Icebergs

normally have a four-year lifespan; they begin entering shipping lanes after about three years.

Around 90% of all volcanic activity occurs in the oceans.

Blue whales are the largest animals on our planet ever (exceeding the size of the greatest known dinosaurs) and have hearts the size of small cars.

More than 90% of the trade between countries is carried by ships and about half the communications between nations use underwater cables.

Sharks bite roughly 70 people each year worldwide. Although shark bites get a lot of attention, this is far less than the number of people injured each year by elephants, bees, crocodiles, lightning or many other natural dangers.

On the other side of the ledger, we kill somewhere between 20100 million sharks every year through fishing activities.

Staying ready

inbrief

They have a commentary cliché in American sports which describes those players who don’t always play, but always do a passable job when called upon. Former Golden State Warriors NBA coach Mark Jackson particularly likes it.

“You’ve got to stay ready.”

Jackson had a few of those players at Golden State, one of whom, Mo Speights, is having a breakout year now under new management – the rewards of sticking to your craft, practicing hard and playing hard in limited minutes for years on end.

The Black Caps have to stick to the same mantra.

Rarely has a squad naming evoked as much varied response as the World Cup team named last week.

HALF MARATHON SOLD OUT The Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon on May 9 have sold out.

The 3000 entries went at the quickest rate ever after they were released in November.

There are still 200 tickets available for the after-party Revelry.

CYCLING Sunday is the last day for entries to the Speights Ale House Blenheim Summer Track Carnival.

Under-15’s on road bikes, under-17 and open grades will be held at the meet at Athletic Park on January 23 and 24.

Since all the headlines about bolters in the Black Caps were used when Trent Boult first made the side in 2009, Grant Elliott should be called ‘a surprise selection.’

Elliott was called up as experienced batting cover and to bowl a few overs. A fill-the-gaps player.

Elliott’s selection, as well as Adam Milne’s, left a few wondering what they have to do to make the team.

To call Jimmy Neesham unlucky is like calling Cristiano Ronaldo a decent footballer.

In his last ODI Matt Henry took a five-wicket bag to win not only the game, but the series against Pakistan.

In the 74 days between yesterday and the date of the World Cup fi-

nal, New Zealand will potentially play 19 games, including warm-up matches.

Martin Crowe says exhaustion is the biggest barrier to winning the lot, and if that’s the case, injuries are going to hit.

Players like Anderson and Milne are injury-prone and Brendon McCullum’s back has to be looked after.

Henry played against Sri Lanka yesterday. Neesham and others need to stay ready.

Also, it has been rightly pointed out the subject of last week’s column, Ched Evans, was not able to move to Maltese club Hibernians, not Scottish club Hibs as mentioned.

I apologise for the error.

SPORTS TALK With ...

Adam Poulopoulos

Softballers off to national champs

By Adam Poulopoulos Marlburians will make up one third of the Southern Pride men’s side that will contest the SNZ National Fastpitch Championships next month.

Black Sox pitcher Kurt Schollum heads the list that also includes his brother, catcher Ryan Schollum, shortstop Kyle Marfell, second baseman Tyler Bird and another pitcher, Nick de Boo. Southern Pride is made up players from Marlborough, Nelson, Otago and Southland, with players also picked up in the draft from Auckland.

The tournament will be held in Hamilton from February 19-22, and will see seven teams take part.

The team’s coach, Stephen Gill, is also

Marlborough-based.

He says he is proud of the group’s achievements.

“It’s good. I’ve been working with Kurt, Ryan and Kyle ever since they started playing softball at about 10 or 11 years old.”

He says the team struggled to train together often, so was unlikely to dethrone Canterbury, who had won the last two tournaments.

Regardless Gill says he has targeted a top-four finish.

“The team will get together the day before the tournament, and that’s the most difficult team for these guys.

“In order to get fourth spot we’re going to have to knock over a couple of big

guns.”

Four of the contingent has been picked for the team before, but de Boo has been picked for the first time, on the advice of assistant coach Carl Gould.

Gill says with incumbents like Kurt Schollum looking to hold their Black Sox places and others looking to break into the squad before the World Series later in the year, the tournament would be tough.

“All the big guns are going to be ready to go and anyone who thinks they’ve got a sniff isn’t going to let it slip by.”

Right: The Marlborough five: Back Ryan Schollum, Kyle Marfell and Kurt Schollum, and front: Tyler Bird and Nick de Boo.
