Dog attacks biker Paula Hulburt Editor

A horrified mountain biker has been left with a bad bite wound after being attacked by an unleashed dog.

Philip Sim was returning home after a two-hour cycle on mountain bike tracks near his home in Waikawa near Picton when he was bitten on Friday. The keen cyclist and runner needed medical help for the puncture wounds to his lower calf and has

been warned infection could be a problem. He is now appealing for dog owners and Marlborough District Council staff to take more responsibility to ensure dogs are kept under control. “I could see the owner and dog

up ahead of me and slowed down but the dog wasn’t on a lead like it’s supposed to be and ran towards me. “Next thing, it lunged and I felt its teeth sink into my leg and there was quite a bit of blood. “I like dogs, I’ve owned a dog,

but this isn’t about that, it’s about safety. What if next time it’s a mum pushing a pram? “Maybe dog owners are unaware of the rules that why the council have a Dog Control Policy, as

Citizens’ gain as community celebrates

100% locally owned and operated

Marlborough has welcomed 50 new citizens from 20 nationalities at a citizenship ceremony, the first of its kind held in the region. The mass citizenship ceremony at the ASB Theatre recognised those who gained their citizenship last year but, due to Covid-19 lockdown, had been un-

able to take part in an official function. More than 150 family and friends gathered to support the ‘nearlynew’ citizens along with Mayor John Leggett and Mayoress Anne Best, councillors Cynthia Brooks, Jenny Andrews, Thelma Sowman, Mark Peters and Brian

Dawson alongside local MP Stuart Smith. The council’s waiata group performed alongside the Queen Charlotte College kapa haka group and Marlborough Girls’ College student Rosie McAllister sang the national anthem.

Mayor Leggett told those gathered that the ceremony was an important event in their lives and also that of Marlborough and New Zealand. “While you have already received your certificates, we are delighted to recognise you here today,” he said.

Haka, tears as Māori ward approved Chloe Ranford Local Democracy Reporter Tears ran as Marlborough District Council made the landmark decision to create a Māori ward. Twelve councillors voted in favour of establishing a Māori ward councillor position at an extraordinary meeting at the Marlborough Events Centre on Friday morning. One voted against and one did not show up for the vote. Haka erupted from mana whenua following the decision. Councillors stood and responded with ‘Te Aroha’, a waiata about peace and love, and the audience joined in. The decision meant Marlborough will have one Māori ward councillor position from next year’s election. Those that voted for a Māori ward candidate would be unable to vote for candidates standing for a general ward. It took councillors just half an hour to reach a verdict. Marlborough Mayor John Leggett moved to create a Māori ward in the region, which Deptuy Mayor Nadine Taylor backed with “great pleasure”. “Although many of us try and talk with iwi ... we don’t necessarily bring te ao Māori world views to the table.” Councillors Cynthia Brooks, Mark Peters, Barbara Faulls, David Oddie and Brian Dawson each highlighted the current lack of Māori input during council

meetings, with four of the council’s five iwi positions remaining unfulfilled. Brian said the views of the council’s only iwi representative, Richard Hunter, had been “critical” and it was important the council lifted this with a Māori ward. Brooks and Faulls agreed and encouraged the Te Tauihu (top of the south) chairs in attendance to fill the four vacant positions. Mark said he would also like to see more Māori stand for general ward councillor positions. “It would be wonderful to see more than one iwi representative on the council through the creation of this ward, but this ward is a good starting point,” he said. Councillor Francis Maher threw in his support, saying it was time to “shake off the remnants of the colonial days”. Councillor Gerald Hope battled tears during his vote. “Today is about truth ... My message to all of us today is that our daughters would expect us to do what is right.” Councillor Jamie Arbuckle was the sole opponent to the new ward, arguing it was a mistake to vote on the topic without the Government having run proper consultation. He also said Māori could already be elected to the council table by standing for and winning a general ward. “I believe we just need to strengthen our current situation.”

Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō cultural advisor Kiley Nepia congratulated the council following the vote and haka. “What a great day this is,” he said. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Kuia chair Waihaere Mason said he thought Friday’s decision was a “momentous moment”. “For the first time iwi will be in a proactive, rather than reactive,

position. We will be contributing to kōrero (discussions), which is far better than listening,” he said. Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui chair Rachael Hāte said it was a step towards what true partnership looked like. Te Rūnanga a Rangitāne o Wairau general manager Corey Hebberd said in a statement the decision showed the council’s commit-

ment to ensure Māori were represented. “We particularly acknowledge the leadership of Mayor Leggett in supporting this decision. We also acknowledge our people who have fought hard for this provision, to be represented and to be heard at council level,” he said.

Initiative flush with success One of Marlborough’s oldest public conveniences is set to join dunnies across the district as it nears completion as part of a revamp initiative. Over the past six months, several toilets have been revamped and spruced up after the chain was finally pulled on t aged restrooms at the end of last year, Work on the new high capacity, fully accessible toilet complex in the centre of Blenheim is scheduled to be finished in the next few weeks. Council parks and open spaces officer Grahame Smail says the lavatory block was 50 years old, costly to maintain and not accessible. “The new building will also provide

a storage area for the special equipment used to maintain the memorial fountain and other aspects of the Seymour Square premier park space,” he says. Other loos that have been freshened up include Anakiwa (opened in December 2020) and Havelock (opened in March 2021). Others on the list for upgrades over the next few months include the restrooms in Okiwi Bay, the Taylor Dam Reserve and the Collins Memorial Reserve. “These new facilities are a big improvement for our visitors and locals both aesthetically and in terms of accessibility for everyone,” says Grahame.

Plea for control after dog bite attack FROM PAGE 1 there are no signage warning all dogs have to be on leads in the area. “I am concerned for safety of others and would like Marlborough District Council to enforce the Dog Control Policy when it comes to making sure dogs are on-leash,” he says. After the attack, Philip sought help at Picton Medical Centre where he was treated and given antibiotics to ward off possible infection. He says his leg is painful to the point where sleep is difficult. “I face weeks of recovery,” he says. The Victoria Domain, which Philip uses almost every day, is open to both cyclists and walkers. Dogs are permitted in the area where Philip was, if they are kept on a leash. The dog believed to be involved in the attack was impounded by Dog Control officers on Friday afternoon. Philip says more needs to be done to ensure dog walkers adhere to the rules. “This unstrained dog should have been on a leash and an attack on a child, elderly or someone with an immune compromised health condition would

have been a lot worse. “A dog biting a person is not acceptable behaviour. “There are many different users on Picton’s Victoria Domain tracks so dogs are allowed but must be kept on-leash. There are also areas where dogs are prohibited. “As this happened on a shared formed walking and biking tracks more” “It’s important to reduce danger, along with ensuring all users are safe when in public places.” A council spokesman says Animal Control staff will update their Animal Control manager this week about the dog attack, once their incident report investigation has been completed. “Council will then decide what enforcement action may be taken. “We are aware of Mr Sim’s concerns about dogs and signage in the Victoria Domain Reserves and Endeavour Park. At the moment the current Marlborough District Council Dog Control Policy 2012 and Marlborough District Council Dog Control Bylaw 2010 are still in place.” He says deliberations on the proposed Dog Control Policy and Bylaw have been com-

Pathway champ a community hero Paula Hulburt Marlborough has a new champion, one who consistently puts his best foot forward for the wider community. Rick Edmonds was officially presented with the Outdoor Access Champion Award in Havelock yesterday. The win comes 16 years after Rick first came up with the idea for the 42km Link Pathway Te Ara Tuhono, which runs from Picton and Anakiwa

to Havelock. Worried about his children biking to Linkwater school, he set about encouraging the community to create a safer alternative. Receiving the award in front of delighted family and friends gathered at the Captain’s Daughter, Rick was quick to include the wider community in his win. “This has been about community.” Rick planned the largely vol-

unteer-built track which has given both residents and visitors living in the bays around Queen Charlotte Drive a safe walking space. He recently led a team of tireless volunteers who gave up their time to help build the Motuweka Pathway in Havelock. This is a link track that enables school children to get off the main road to walk safely to school. Rick was praised by judges for

his “tireless commitment and work with the Link Pathway project.” Just 2km of the Link Pathway between Havelock and Picton is left to be finished. The awards are an annual event organised by the New Zealand Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa. The award celebrates people and community groups who are creating journeys across the land to special places in Aotearoa.

Inspire Foundation Forgotten treasure grants announced Matt Brown

Peter Jones

An inspirational address by keynote speaker Mike Allsop helped set the tone for the latest Inspire Foundation Marlborough grantees awards evening. Mike - an adventurer, Everest mountaineer and extreme marathon competitor – was a guest at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre on Wednesday as the Foundation announced their latest batch of grants and re-grants. Also on hand to offer his words, expertise and support to the grantees was local hero Joseph Sullivan, an Inspire ambassador. Since the Inspire Foundation Marlborough came into being in this region in November 2017, 38 grantees have been recognised. Added to the list on Wednesday evening were rowers Fred Vavasour and Meg Flanagan, from Marlborough Boys’ College and Marlborough Girls’ College respectively, singers Rosie McAllister and Iona Panoho and Queen Charlotte Yacht

Club sailor Jack Bennett. Re-grants were issued to rower Kobe Miller, forensic anthropologist Stephie Loncar, classical ballet exponent Samantha Grammer and community leader George Glover. To qualify for a grant, applicants must be aged between 15 and 23 years of age, a resident of Marlborough for at least three years with New Zealand Citizenship and have demonstrated extraordinary ability or potential in any of the areas of Arts, IT, Design, Music, Science, Research, Education, Sport or Community Service. Inspire Foundation chairman Mark Davis said, “If you know an outstanding 15-23-year-old Marlburian, with the drive and passion to make it to the top, whatever their discipline, please visit Marlborough. inspirefoundation.co.nz and apply for the next round of grants. “When our new grantees step up to receive their rewards I am reminded every time what extraordinary young people there are in our province, aiming high.”

It began as a bid to rescue old negatives; photographic treasures almost forgotten in cardboard boxes. Some were beyond saving but others went on to form the basis of a book documenting a defining moment in New Zealand’s music history. Beginning in 1978, Anthony Phelps, a sixth form student with a passion for photography, captured New Zealand’s burgeoning punk music scene. Now the Blenheim-based author and photographer will share some of his images, stories and the secrets behind some of his most iconic photos. “It all started because I needed to archive my negatives,” Anthony says. “They were stored in cardboard boxes at my mother’s place. Some have been destroyed by damp and mould.” Anthony is the first guest speaker confirmed for this year’s popular Marlborough Book Festival. Stuff senior reporter Mike White will join Anthony to take a nostalgic look back at the music, the memories and the photographs in a special one on one interview at the ASB Theatre’s Anderson room as part of the festival. The book, From AK79 to the Class of ‘81, features Kiwi bands like The Terrorways, The Spelling Mistakes and The Screaming Meemees, as well as international acts like The Ramones and Kiss; all immortalised in Anthony’s prints – some of his

Being asked to appear was a pleasant surprise, Anthony says. “I don’t really see myself as an author. It’s a niche picture book if you like,” he says. “I thought I had photographed only about ten bands – but it turned out to be more like 40.” Compiling the book has been a journey of discovery for Anthony. “There are some pictures of The Ramones, taken from the mezzanine,” he says. “I have no memory at all of having taken them, until an old colleague, who had written a book about 10 years ago, sent me back the negatives. “Finding these photographs of the Ramones was like finding treasure.” Mike, who cut his teeth as a journalist at the Marlborough Express, says Anthony’s a legend. “I came to punk late. Well, to be fair, punk came to Blenheim

quite late,” he says. “We loved it. My mum hated it. “I never knew that the guy who took the album’s cover photo was Ant. It’s become an icon of New Zealand music. Ant’s a legend. “Forty years on, I’m positive there are loads of people who can still recite the lyrics to those songs, still have band teeshirts that fit a bit too tightly now, and will really, really love Ant’s book and the stories behind them.” Thirteen guest authors will share stories about their lives and their work in one-hour sessions in Blenheim over the weekend of Friday 9 July to Sunday 11 July. The full list of guest authors will be announced when tickets go on sale Monday 31 May.

Help for anxious kids Paula Hulburt

She helps make writing dreams a reality for others but now a Blenheim publisher has printed her own workinspired by her daughters. Katie Ashdown has written a book geared towards helping children cope with anxiety. And she has dedicated Anxious Allie And Her Brave Brother Ben to her two daughters Sophie and Danielle. “Anxiety has always been an issue for Sophie since she was a toddler. “For her it’s not about what causes the anxiety, but how she reacts to it. “I was sitting in bed one night and it [the book] just came to me and I just started writing,” Katie says. Illustrated by Marlborough Weekly digital executive Gemma Bartlett, the book tells the story of a nervous girl called Allie. Too scared to do the things she loves Allie seeks help from her more outgoing twin brother only to discover she too can be just as brave. Katie, who owns Prisma Print in Witherlea, says the

Illustrator Gemma Bartlett and author Katie Ashdown. Photo: Paula Hulburt. main characters have been written to help children up to 12 years old cope with their fears and worries. As more people reach out for help with anxiety issues, the book gives younger readers characters they can relate to. “Sophie was a great help, she gave me scenarios and told me how she felt,” Katie says. A copy of the book, which sells for $20, is being distributed to primary schools across the region.

Katie and Sophie delivered copies to some Blenheim schools on Thursday. “It’s been a really rewarding process and the support has been fantastic. “Seeing my book is really exciting but more exciting, was seeing Sophie’s face light up when she saw it.” Gemma, who spent around two months crafting the pen and pencil illustrations, says seeing a hobby go so far has been great. “Katie gave me an idea of

what she envisaged and I set about creating something that interpretated her ideas. “It’s cool to see a hobby elevated into work like this.” The pair have plans to work on a series of books tackling subjects relatable to primary aged children. ‘Sophie is coming up with lots of ideas,” Katie says. The book can be purchased via Prisma Print at www. prismaprint.co.nz or directly from the shop at 14 Alana Place, Witherlea.

Opinion: Pensioners pay the price of council policy Matt Brown

Council made a gaffe when they coupled senior housing rent to market rates. The mean market rent in Blenheim has increased by about a third

since 2018 - or about $120 per week on average, and a council policy ties senior housing rent to 80 per cent of the market rate. But should senior housing rent have been coupled with something

council has no control over? Is the policy fit for purpose? Retiree Judy Bennison says if rents were changed to reflect 80 per cent of the market value, half her income would go on rent. To meet the council policy, senior housing rent would have to be raised $66 a week more for a one-bed unit, and $78 a week more for a twobedroom unit. “WINZ gives us a power subsidy, then council raise the rent,” she says. “If they raised the rent $10 per year, we could cope with that.” Figures provided by Marlborough District Council suggest in 2018, a single bedroom flat’s market rent was $200 – council was charging $160, or 80 per cent of the market value. In four years, the market value has increased by $100 per week; now, it’s at $300. A 50 per cent increase. IRD figures show the pension for a single person, living alone, has risen by just under nine per cent in the same period – $36. It begs the question, if rents keep rising will seniors be

Is that sustainable for council? Funnily enough, a nine per cent increase on 2018’s rent for a single bedroom flat equals about what seniors pay now. Senior Housing sub-committee chair Cynthia Brooks says the 170-odd council units were mostly built with the help of central government housing 50 years ago. The question of rent review will be raised at the next committee meeting, on July 1. She says there is no current proposed rent increase for senior housing, but rents are reviewed annually. “The portfolio is certainly

not there to make a profit, neither is it there to become a burden on ratepayers, it is finely tuned to break even based on 80 per cent market rate,” Cynthia says. In the last two years, all the units have been bought up to Healthy Homes standards imposed by central government – at considerable cost, she says. Nonetheless, the senior housing portfolio has remained in the green for the past two years, budgeted deficits instead showing a profit. Cynthia says the policy joining senior housing rent to 80 per cent of the market value was approved by the senior housing committee in 2017 to ensure the portfolio of properties was sustainable.

“This new policy was applied in September 2018 and did result in a larger increase than usual,” she says. “Most of our tenants have their accommodation allowance through WINZ adjusted at the time of a rent increase, thereby leaving much less for them to fund personally.” It’s a few years ago now, and perhaps hindsight is 20/20, but rental prices were steadily increasing even in 2018. If sustainability is the issue, and profit is not the goal, couldn’t rents for seniors instead be coupled with another metric – one that council can predict. Rates could be a good one – seeing as the properties are (presumably) freehold. Maybe basing rent amounts on the pension itself would be fairest, if fairness is the goal? Senior housing is a fantastic service, vital for many in our community, and I’m proud that it’s offered here in Marlborough. Council is hardly to blame for the market forces driving the country’s bonkers property market – but they can change this.

Specialists in auto electrical repairs Specialising in electrical repairs and air conditioning for all makes of vehicles, as well as trucks, tractors, vineyard/forestry equipment and solar panel fitting to caravans and campers, Paul and Jacquie Bugler have been operating their successful family-run business for 20 years. “We bought the business off the previous owners in 2001 where we had both been working. Paul had been in the parts department

since he left school so had an extensive background in the industry,” says Jacquie. For Jacquie and Paul, each and every staff member plays an integral part in their family business. “Our staff is our family,” she says. “We’ve been really grateful of our staff over the years - we just recently recognised one of our guys who has been with us for 20 years. Having staff members return to work for us is really quite

humbling to see that people want to come back.” Even with the uncertainties posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Jacquie and Paul have seen their business go from strength to strength in the last year. “Given the circumstances it’s really fantastic. We do a lot of commercial work with vineyards servicing their equipment so that definitely helped keeping us ticking over.”

Another key part of their business is fitting solar panels for caravans and campers and stockists of Delkor Batteries. “Something really positive to come out of the pandemic is to see that so many Kiwis are travelling around the country in campers and caravans. We’ve been fitting solar panels to new and old caravans and campers which has been really positive. We’re just so relieved to have survived Covid -

we thought we’d have to push the reset button after lockdown but work hasn’t slowed down at all. Their future plan is to keep moving onwards and upwards. “We’re going to keep growing and building our business.” For more information and to get in touch visit their website automarine.co.nz, Facebook ‘Auto & Marine Electrics Marlborough’ and Instagram ‘automarineelectrics’.

Tokomaru Crafar Crouch joined Pelorus at the top of the table, while Marlborough Girls’ College notched their first win as Marlborough premier netball moved outdoors at the weekend. Three matches were played at Lansdowne Park on Saturday, with resurfacing being completed at Stadium 2000. In the early game, defending champs Toko proved too strong down the finishing straight, defeating Harlequins 56-39 in a free-flowing encounter. At halftime the match was up for grabs, Tokomaru holding a tenuous 25-24 advantage. How-

ever, some positional changes by Toko and a drop in intensity from Quins saw the Picton side dominate the third quarter, won 19-7, creating a 13-goal buffer to put the result out of reach. Newcomer Ellen Barr, who mixed her time between wing attack and centre, impressed for the victors, along with the versatile Wiri Bristowe and key defender Michaela Boaz. Harlequins were well served by defender Katie Cunningham, goal attack Kelsee Hamilton and wing attack Sophie Robinson. A feature of this match was the appearance with the whistle of one of the country’s top officials, international umpire Josh Bowring. He officiated alongside Marlborough’s top umpire, Mi-

Green Machine back in service Peter Jones

Renwick won the battle of the Blenheim-based Tasman Trophy rugby sides on Saturday afternoon. The Green Machine travelled to Picton’s Endeavour Park and returned with a comprehensive 27-5 win over home side Waitohi. Both sides were coming off a loss last week, but it was the visitors who seized the initiative this time around. From the outset Renwick showed more attitude and accuracy, recycling ball quickly and stringing together multiple phases. Their continuity of possession, allied to a stream of penalties that flowed their way, saw them almost completely dominate the first 15 minutes. Tries to hard-working prop Losi Malimali and equally industrious lock Atu Taufa saw them open up a 10-0 lead, which they maintained until halftime. A feature of Renwick’s work was their defensive attitude and commitment, driving tackles and quick line speed cutting the Tohis’ attacks short. Tries to loosies Cody Weir and Sky Boskett-Barnes soon after the break consolidated Renwick’s lead and sealed a bonus point, leaving the home side playing catch-up rugby to no avail. A further try, this time to first five Alex

Barnsley, clinched the deal, although hooker Taimi Fangatua’s consolation touchdown with 10 minutes to go gave the home fans some consolation. All members of the victorious side deserved a pat on the back, especially for their defence right across the park. Their energy levels were a big step up after last week’s effort against Central. For the home side, flanker Taine Cragg-Love carried strongly, as did Fangatua and prop Seymour Lambert, while fullback Gannon Karena tried hard to spark some attack from the back in a losing cause. The other Blenheim-based side in action on Saturday, Central, met Stoke over the hill and came away with a 29-26 loss. Blues’ coach Dave McCormick was proud of the effort his side produced as they pushed one of the top Nelson-based outfits all the way. A lack of depth on the bench hurt Central, with a few key players absent for this one. However, players such as lightweight flanker Eden Fitzpatrick, Setaleki Baker, Nigel Satherley and Jack Griffin stood up with top efforts. Central scored four tries, through Quentin MacDonald, Baker, who bagged a brace, and Satherley, to pick up two much-needed bonus

Stoke led 17-11 at halftime but the Blues never gave up and rallied to lead with five minutes to go, before the impetus provided by the fresher bench contingent helped get Stoke over the line. In other matches Kahurangi beat Waimea Old Boys 35-34 and Wanderers downed Nelson 46-14. Tasman Trophy points: Kahurangi 30, Waimea 26, Marist 22, Stoke 17, Central 15, Wanderers 15, Renwick 10, Nelson 7,

Waitohi 7, Moutere/Awatere 5. Meanwhile, the Moutere women’s team slipped to second on the Tasman division one table after losing 34-17 to Waimea Old Boys in Nelson on Saturday. In Marlborough division two action, Moutere beat Pelorus 46-15, MBC Old Boys accounted for Awatere 29-17 and Waitohi drew 24-24 with Renwick. In Christchurch, the Marlborough Boys’ College First XV lost 32-23 to championship leaders St Thomas of Canterbury in their

Miles Toyota Championship third round encounter. MBC were in touch for much of the match, closing to 22-16 late in the second spell, but were unable to withstand a strong finish from the home side. MBC play Shirley BHS in Blenheim today.

Hockey taking hold in seaside community

Peter Jones

Hockey is on a high in Kaikoura - the seaside town building their sporting depth from the ground up. For the first time, a Kaikoura side is competing in the six-team Hockey Marlborough college grade. Last year they fielded a year 7-8 team in the Blenheimbased competition, leading to a step up in 2021. Kaikoura High School teacher Jo Fissenden, a driving force along with coach Carys Protheroe behind the college mixed side’s progression, described it as “a huge step forward for us”. “Hockey in Kaikoura is growing like crazy. “Hockey Marlborough have been amazing and supportive. In term one they ran a competition for year six and below and they got around 14 teams from the [Kaikoura] primary schools which is fantastic for the future. [Hockey

Marlborough Development officer] Emma Sorenson-Brown’s input has been invaluable. “There is really big interest in [hockey], lots of primary kids who want to play and it’s slowly growing at high school too, which is wonderful for those of us that like the sport.”

The Kaikoura college team have an added incentive to perform well. Last year their goalie, 13-year-old Sebastian Frost, died in an accident. Now the team wear orange socks, Sebastian’s favourite colour, in his memory. The College grade began on Thursday, May 6, with Kaikou-

ra, MBC 2nd XI, MGC 2nd XI, Arotea Kiwi, Richmond View and a Bohally Combined side taking part. Jo said the Kaikoura side relished the weekly trek north. “The kids here are enthusiastic and pretty dedicated, especially when you think about the

amount of travel we do. “Mind you, they have been doing the travel for a few years now and it doesn’t bother them.” She said the rising standard of play from last season was a timely reminder of the need to keep improving. “[The college grade] is a big step up, the first week was quite eyeopening for some of them. It’s good for them to realise how much further they have to go and the skills they have to learn.” Plans are afoot to field Kaikoura teams in both the year 7-8 and college grades next year, suggested Jo. “We had 10 players in the summer six-a-side competition, then lost a few to various winter sports. “Along with the college side, three year 7-8 players travel up on Wednesday to play for Blenheim teams, so we are confident that next year Kaikoura can field a team in both sections … which will be a big step forward for us.”

Both Marlborough teams in Nelson division one competition produced disappointing results on Saturday. Rangers AFC, who were unbeaten going into their men’s match with Richmond at Nelson’s Jubilee Park, went down 2-0, while women’s side Blenheim Valley Bullets also lost to Richmond opposition, the tabletopping Foxes side prevailing 7-0 at A&P Park. Rangers’ manager Wolfie Waechter described Saturday’s effort as “disappointing … not our best day at the office”. Most of the damage was done in the opening quarter, Richmond slotting home a fifth minute penalty then producing a second after 20 minutes to put Rangers well and truly on the back foot. Wolfie said the side’s preparation was fine but suggested they were “not switched on” in the early stages with a very aggressive home side putting them under plenty of pressure. However, in typical Rangers fashion they regrouped and after some halftime re-arrangement they came out to almost totally dominate the second spell. Despite having a majority of possession, the visitors were unable to narrow the scoreline, with the last, decisive pass often not finding its mark. Goalie Liam Kennedy, defenders Aaron Hayes, Jordy Columbus and Ryan Palmer, plus midfielders Sam Hickmott and Tore Waechter and player-of-the-day Jono Masters were the best of the visiting side. It was also a “tough day at the office” for the Bullets. The home side competed well early in the match, creating a good chance to score before conceding their first after 25 minutes. Once Foxes had found a path to the net they upped the ante, scoring three more before the break. They maintained pressure after or-

anges, scoring their fifth soon after before the home side went close when a Baylee Connor-McClean cross was nearly turned into goal by Lauren Sloan, the visiting goalie forced to make a desperation save. Two more goals to the visitors completed the scoring but, to their credit, BV finished stronger, Taz Gilbert, Charlotte Ferguson and Tiana Williams going close in the latter stages. BV coach, Scott Kennovin said, “every bounce went against us today. We’ll draw a line under it and move on”. Player of day was hard-working keeper Jaimee Van Keulen. In Mayfield Motorworld division one action, Call Care Hotspurs, Rangers Development and Call Care Trojans notched victories. Hotspurs accounted for Central Buccaneers 5-3 at Athletic Park, after leading 3-0 at halftime. Francisco Zimmerman then scored twice in the second half, completing a hat-trick for Hotspurs. Trojans, with Jack Morris scoring twice, beat BV Masters 5-0. They led 2-0 at the break and scored regularly in the second 45. Development began strongly on their way to a 5-2 win over Central Wolves. Goals to Josh Clamp and Lucas Scantlebury saw them ahead 2-0 at oranges. Clamp scored his side’s third with a clever free kick, then skipper Jake Bezant put them 4-0 ahead. Wolves got onto the scoresheet through a Nick Weaver goal, but Rangers replied two minutes later with a shot from Logan Robb. Wolves player Matt McCormick grabbed a consolation goal on the 80th minute, but Rangers held out to take the win. In Mayfield Motorworld division two games, Rangers Clubs of Marlborough beat Central Privateers 4-1, Redwood Masters downed Call Care Spartans 3-1 and Rangers Masters overcame Picton 4-1.
