College build edges closer Paula Hulburt Editor

Education bosses are set to appoint a contractor for the new colleges by the end of the year. Ministry of Education staff have revealed bids from interested

contractors were received last week, with an appointment set to be made soon. The move means planning and design phases on the $100 million dollar build can hopefully begin early next year. Head of Education Infrastructure Service Kim Shannon says the

project will transform education in the region, providing worldclass education facilities for Marlborough learners. “The co-location of Marlborough Boys’ and Girls’ Colleges and relocation of Bohally Intermediate will be one of the biggest projects that the Ministry has ever deliv-

ered.” “The project will transform education in Marlborough, as well as supporting the Top of the South in its post-Covid recovery.” “This is a really exciting time for all three schools, as well as the wider Blenheim community, and we’re looking forward to work-

ing with them as the project progresses,” she says. After three years of unsuccessfully searching for a greenfield site, the Ministry of Education announced the colleges would be co-located at the 13.2-hectare

The Intermediate will be relocated and rebuilt on the current Marlborough Boys’ College site. Kim says official responses to their Request for Proposals were received last week.

Covid tests for Marlborough tourist hot spots Pop up Covid-19 testing stations will go up in tourist hot spots in Picton and Blenheim. Nelson Marlborough Health have announced two asymptomatic stations will go up at both Picton and Blenheim i-Sites this week. The move is part of a national strategy to test workers in the hospitality, tourism, transport and service sectors. Members of the public and visitors to the region are also welcome to get tested. Chief Medical Officer for Nelson Marlborough Health Dr Nick Baker says the move is vital to help keep confidence levels high. “We need to keep test numbers up so that we can continue to be confident that we don’t have COVID-19 in our community. “It makes sense to focus on these workforces – people who come into regular contact with other people, many of whom have travelled from other parts of New Zealand. “Knowing that we have good rates of testing will also reassure people who are planning to visit our beautiful region this summer,” he says. The i-Sites have been chosen for their proximity to workers in the hospitality, tourism, transport retail and service sectors. “The focus on testing workers in

Two mechanics used their work radios to get help to a seriously injured truck driver trapped in the crushed cab of his vehicle. Marlborough Lines line mechanics Sam White and Kyle Marfell rushed to the rescue after the accident on Wednesday. Using first aid training and medical kits from their work Utes, the pair got help and were on hand to help the driver. With no mobile reception, Kyle got to higher ground and used the radio to contact staff at the Marlborough Lines building in Blenheim, Sam says. The team there alerted the emergency services. Sam says the workplace first aid training he had done “just kicked in.” “It was really helpful. The guy was conscious throughout which was good, but we could see cuts on his head and arms. “It’s lucky we were there as there’s no mobile reception. I could see blood, but he seemed to have stopped bleeding; we just tapped him up.” A pilot vehicle was leading the truck carrying a 25-tonne dig-

The truck rolled multiple times down a steep bank on the Black Birch Observatory road, just off the Awatere Valley Road. Sam, who has been employed with Marlborough Lines for ten years, says they were just arriving on site to set up for the day when they were alerted to the crash. “There was a guy on the track who had been working on the vineyard down below. The pilot vehicle driver was there too.” Dense vegetation and a steep drop made access difficult, but they hacked their way through,

Sam says. The driver suffered severe injuries and had to be stabilised by emergency services on the ground before being flown to hospital by the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter crew. Sam, who went straight back to work after the incident, says he would like to catch up with the driver when he’s feeling better. “He was a good bloke.” A spokeswoman for Nelson Marlborough Health says the patient was in a stable condition in Nelson Hospital on Monday afternoon.

Stolen goods found: Traffic lights stolen from a locked garage at the construction site on Battys Road and New Renwick Road have been recovered by police. The Fulton Hogan-owned lights were found in the Grovetown area. Blenheim Police are thanking the public for their help. Green fingers: Pupils, parents and grandparent helpers as well as members of the Green Ferns Senior Environmental Group from Renwick School have helped plant 150 trees and shrubs at the new Renwick Village Green. Council’s Community Programme Manager Adi James says the children did an amazing job. “The ground was really rocky in places and required strong muscles to dig large enough holes for the plants to have a chance of survival.” Profits slashed: The coronavirus pandemic has clipped Marlborough Airport’s wings, slashing this year’s profits by 89 per cent. The airport, owned by the Marlborough District Council, is expected to make a “significant” loss this financial year as passenger numbers nosedive from 326,000 to 225,000. The slump is set to cut its endof-year profits from $900,000 to $100,000 and force the airport to borrow $1.1 million more than it originally expected, bringing its debt to $5.6m.

Mayor to lead by example and oppose controversial dog bylaw Chloe Ranford Local Democracy Reporter A controversial proposal to leash dogs has prompted Marlborough’s mayor to make his first bylaw submission in a decade. John Leggett walks his bichon frise poodle crosses Bella and Hugo along Blenheim’s Taylor River nearly every day. But a bylaw review could see him – and everyone else – have to keep their dogs on a lead. Marlborough District Council’s dog control bylaw review – the first in a decade – has already thrown up controversy over a proposal to let dogs back into Blenheim’s town centre. The mayor says he feels “strongly” about the proposed bylaw and was “very much in favour” of keeping the status quo. “I have every intention of making a submission. “You occasionally hear talk about a conflict of users but ... I see very little of that. “Most people are really understanding and willing to take a wide berth when they have dogs.” Mayor Leggett says he understood there was a “strong drive” from residents to keep the Taylor River reserve as an off-leash area. The bylaw had attracted 360 submissions since it opened for feedback last month, with most objecting to the reserve’s change from an off-leash area to a mostly on-leash area.

The bylaw proposed an on-leash area on the river’s right bank from Burleigh Bridge to Stuart Street, and on the left bank from Doctors Creek to where the Ōpaoa and Taylor rivers met. If approved, breaches came with a fine, up to as much as $20,000. A council spokesman says the animal control team currently checked compliance with the dog bylaw by running patrols. It was too soon to discuss a grace period for the new bylaw. The spokesman says in the past two years, the council had issued two fines relating to dogs along the Taylor River – one for an uncontrolled dog and one for a dog fouling in public. Twelve people also complained to the council about dogs “rushing” a human or being a “nuisance” along the river. “Anecdotally we often hear of other incidents,” he says. He thought most dog concerns were not reported. Signage would be reviewed around the region once the dog bylaw review was completed, set down for early next year. Dogs were banned from the Blenheim CBD in 2012, after a 2010 bylaw review. Feedback on the bylaw closes on November 9 at 5pm. The draft bylaw is available at council offices and libraries in Picton and Blenheim, and at www.marlborough.govt.nz.

Wheelie bins proposal back from the brink Chloe Ranford Local Democracy Reporter

the current system was “inconvenient” and had “outlived its useful purpose”, with wheelie bins the “ideal practical resolution”. Some thought their recycling crates were too small for the amounts recycled, with some admitting their “excess” goods were put into bin bags or “lost to landfill for ease of disposal”. Others pointed out that new housing developments in Blenheim and Picton had caused rubbish collection routes to grow, leaving recycling crates in the wind and rain longer. Rain-soaked paper or cardboard could not be recycled, and recycling blown from the crates often became street litter. Recycling left beside the container is not removed by the contractor. People without access to transport cannot take excess product to the recycling centre, feedback in the waste assessment says. Residents also say the council-issued bin bags suited

Wheelie bins are back on the table in Marlborough, with a waste review calling them an “ideal” solution to “inconvenient” bin bags and crates. Marlborough District Council has been deliberating over wheelie bins for more than a decade, with the cost of rolling out close to 40,000 bins – two per household – a regular sticking point. A look at council services in 2009 and 2010 ended up settling on recycling crates and a new resource recovery centre. The idea was debated again in 2015, but shelved, then rehashed in 2017 after a survey of 5400 residents showed 39 per cent wanted the bins to replace their bags and crates. Council concluded the price was too much for residents. But another waste assessment compiled earlier this year could see them get over the line. It showed residents believed

The assessment estimated it would cost $2 million to send out about 36,000 refuse and recycling bins in Marlborough. Speaking after the assessment was adopted by council last week, council solid waste manager Alec McNeil says the $2m was a “best es-

timate”, which could change. Whether wheelie bins meant higher rates depended on several factors, including rubbish volumes and the number of properties signed up to the service, he says. There was also talk of a waste collection service involving boats for residents living in remote parts of the Marlborough Sounds. Alex says what the service could look like would be worked out during the waste management plan process. It also recommended councils were incentivised to collect food waste for composting, collect glass separately to other recyclables, and do more promotion to get people to sort their waste correctly. About 4370 tonnes of waste was recycled in Marlborough last year, compared to 7615 tonnes sent to landfill. Residents could submit feedback on the assessment’s proposals on the council website before November 16.

kinds of sporting and recreational activities.”

The Renwick Sports & Events Centre is situated on a beautiful council owned reserve in Renwick, the heart of the most spectacular wineries and vineyards in New Zealand. The multifunctional facility comprises over nine hectares of cricket, rugby and soccer playing fields. The Renwick Bowling Club, Renwick Tennis Club and Renwick Volunteer Fire Brigade are sited on the boundary of the reserve and various marching clubs of all ages use the grounds for practise. “A lot of people think it’s just a rugby club, but it’s used widely by the community,” says centre manager David McLuckie. “We have rugby, kid’s football, cricket, bowling and tennis all happening here plus there is a skate park and a fantastic new playground being developed. “It’s a hub for many different

Weddings, funerals, birthdays, conferences The multi-functional facility is also the ideal place for small or large gatherings – weddings, funerals, wakes, birthdays, anniversaries and conferences. “Although there are many other venues available, our centre has lots of advantages. We’re out of the way and not in close proximity to any homes, there is a large carparking area for around 120 cars, and the building is quite adaptable; we’ve got sliding doors which divide up the lounges which can be fully opened, so we’ve been able to hold large gatherings.” A wedding recently held at the centre had about 130 guests and there have also been conferences and get-togethers of around 350 people.

The Renwick Sports & Events Centre. “It’s a pretty nice spot with the field and views towards the ranges.” The facility is well set up for events with audio-visual equipment for hire and plenty of tables and chairs available. “We don’t charge for cutlery, knives, forks, spoons, crockery – it’s all part of the deal,” says

David. To hire out the whole of the upstairs area, it’s $30 an hour plus GST for general community use and for corporates, it’s $60 an hour plus GST. “If you’re a chamber of commerce member, you get another discount on top of that. “We recently had a children’s birthday party here; a Filipino

“They were eventually able to play but because only minimum numbers were allowed here, they couldn’t have their after-match functions which is where they make their money because they get a cut from the bar.” David says their season has finished now apart from a secondary schools’ seven’s competition which was held recently at the centre. “We had the Renwick School’s annual cross-country event here two weeks ago and cricket just had its first home game last Friday. “Rugby training starts again in January, otherwise things will be pretty quiet. Wineworks held their Christmas party here for the last couple of years but they’re going elsewhere this year.

Milestone for healthy homes Erin Bradnock A project dedicated to making the homes of those in the Top of the South warmer and healthier to live in has just celebrated its 2000th insulation. Warmer Healthier Homes Nelson – Marlborough has been subsidising insulation projects in the region since 2014. Project chairman Leeson Baldey says it’s an amazing achievement for the programme, which is administered by Absolute Energy. “It’s 2000 families living in healthy homes.” The project began in partnership between Rata Foundation, Nelson Tasman Housing Trust, Nelson City Council, and Nelson Marlborough DHB to address unhealthy homes in the region. Insulating a home typically costs between $2,500 to $5000 in New Zealand. Over 30 people gathered at the

Boathouse last Thursday to celebrate the milestone. Henry Nepia of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority says they don’t often get to celebrate the wins. “And there’s been a lot of them over the years.” Henry acknowledged the work still to be done, saying the authority is still getting up to a 1000 inquiries for insulations a week. Project founder and former chairman Bill Dahlberg was instrumental in the project’s founding and success. He says it was aimed at addressing vulnerable communities who frequented health care because of cold and damp homes. Bill says meeting the families who receive the insulation is the best thing about the work. “I remember I went back to one family six months later, who couldn’t believe the difference a dry house makes.”

Proud to Support Seddon School

In the heart of Seddon sits the township’s school, a vital community hub that spans the generations. For years, the popular Tussock Run has been raising funds for the school, until Covid-19 saw it cancelled for the first time. Undeterred, the community looked at other ways to fundraise, and the idea for a special garden tour was born. Three very special gardens, whose owners all have strong links to the school were chosen. “Each year, we usually hold the Tussock Run to fundraise for the school, but this year we had to cancel because of Covid,” says chairperson for Friends of Seddon School Brigid Hammond. “We had to come up with a new idea and decided on a garden tour because it required limited sponsorship and there are three amazing gardens in Awatere Valley with owners that are connected to the school in some way. “Either they have current grandchildren who attend Seddon School, or they have had children go through the school,” says Brigid. Barewood, Paripuma and Ha He Naca are all uniquely beautiful, each already included as part of the spectacular Garden Marlborough tour. Six star-rated country garden Barewood is globally renowned. With an old English-style cottage garden framed by box hedges and fragrant lavender. The sheltered splendour of Ha He Naca is filled with the bloom of roses, and Paripuma is different again; a 5-star garden of national significance, brimming with NZ natives on 5 hectares overlooking by the sea. The Seddon School Garden Tour 2020 takes places on Sunday the 15th of November from 9am to 3pm. “At Barewood, there will be tea and coffee and scrummy slices, at Paripuma we’ve got savouries and a wee market stall selling marmalade and raffles and at Ha He Naca we are selling seedlings and plants. “At each garden there will be a variety of stalls and ticketholders will need to bring cash, says Brigid who explains that the logistics of the tour have been developed with alert levels in mind. Ticketholders all begin the tour at a different

All monies raised will help pay for a new asphalt quad at the school. “It’s very expensive to replace the original one which has a bit of earthquake damage.” says Brigid. The Seddon School fundraiser is a bit different this year because the event is suitable for adults only. “We haven’t got any children coming on the tour because it’s too dangerous with ponds and things like that,” says Brigid.

A community-focused school

Seddon School is very ‘community-focused.’ “Everyone loves getting together and we’ve had so many amazing sponsors for the Tussock Run over the years,” says Brigid. “I think it’s that connection some of the kids have to the school. With the earthquake, everyone was helping each other out and the school has been a focal point.” The school continues to thrive and flourish with about 150 students. Chldren attend from all over the Awatere Valley explains Brigid. “The catchment is from Grassmere to Awatere Valley; we have children from an hour up the valley, 25 k’s up Marama Road, Grassmere and a few kids from Ward “A lot of families at Seddon School are 3rd or 4th generation children. Brigid and her husband have three children attending, aged 11, 8 and 6 years old. “Their grandparents and parents, my husband and my father-in-law, were at the school so my kids are 3rd generation.” Seddon School provides a modern teaching and learning environment covering a broad range of subject areas. “It’s an ‘all-round school,” says Brigid. “We have kids that are amazing at art, some who are really good at hockey or great

groups playing together.” Just as the students support each other, the wider community does too. From the spark of an idea, the garden tour has blossomed into a truly special occasion. “The garden tour is such a community event, as much as the Tussock Run is. The tour is ‘self-driving’ and people will be going to the gardens at different times even though it is a fundraiser to the school. Whereas, at the Tussock Run there was 600 plus people at the school at a specific time.” Brigid says the gardens are amazing and the result of the care and devotion lavished on each one. “People can’t believe they can get a BOOK YOUR PRE-SEASON ticket for $30, which is just $10 entry per garden.” The Seddon School Garden Tour 2020 takes places on Sunday the 15th of November (9am to 3pm).

Shooters defy conditions Marlborough soundly beaten Peter Jones

Peter Jones

Young South African shooter Andre du Toit, representing the Malvern club, claimed the A grade title at the Marlborough Fullbore Shooting Championship, staged over three days at Labour Weekend. Forty eight competitors at the Kaituna range had to contend with a weekend of warm nor’westerly crosswinds making accuracy a challenge. The net result of the conditions was that only 11 possibles were shot over the weekend, Alan White from Malvern bagging three of them. In A grade du Toit led from the front for most of the weekend to take out the title with 475.33 from Brian Carter (Te Puke) on 473.30 and White on 472.27. Du Toit arrived in New Zealand two years ago from the Transvaal area of South Africa. He has represented his homeland at under-19 and senior level, shooting for South Africa at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. He hopes to become eligible for NZ in time to shoot for this country at the world champs in 2023. Entry numbers for the annual champs were well up on 2019, due to the strong support of those prepared to travel long distances and the addition of the two new F Classes. Shooters travelled from as far afield as Dunedin, Gore, Te Puke and Hamilton. The Long Range aggregate was decided using the 900 yard scores with three tied on 185.10, with Carter winning from Ross Mason (Trentham) and Bevan Mehrtens (Malvern). In B grade Les Marshall (Hawkes Bay) had a comfortable five point margin with 457.24 from Megan Snowden (Ashburton) with 452.25 and Martin Fleming (Ashburton) 452.23. In C grade Shaun Ellis (Cheltenham) won easily with 435.11 from Brian

The Marlborough senior rep cricket team were left rueing a below-par batting performance in their first outing of the 2020-21 season. Up against Buller in a 50over clash at Horton Park on Sunday, the home side were soundly beaten by seven wickets. Marlborough, who were inserted after the visitors won the toss, struggled their way to 107 in 29.5 overs, which the visitors chased down in quick time. Buller’s attack was disciplined and economical, their bowlers targeting the wickets, resulting in four players being bowled and two adjudged lbw. No 3 batsman Tarin Mason hit out for 35 from 32 balls, skipper Matthew Stretch dug in, scoring 13 from 41 deliveries, while No 6 Akhil Pant played freely near the end, hitting 29 from just 28 balls, but there was limited contributions from the rest of the order. The standout bowler for the visitors was medium pacer Ethan Slee, who bagged 5-28 from 7.5 overs. Fellow opener Sam Jope claimed 2-20 while the remainder of the attack Alex Paterson, Troy Scanlon and John Noble - claimed a wicket apiece. To have any chance of turning the match around Marlborough needed early wickets and, when Nick Weaver removed Scanlon with the score on 11, hopes were raised. However, a 34-run partnership between James Richards

Hawksby (Ashburton) on 420.18 and John Fleming (Ashburton) on 417.14 The tightest competition of the weekend was in F Open with Ian Hughes (Cheltenham) and Mike Chui (Ashburton) battling for supremacy. Going into the final shoulder-to-shoulder 900 yard match they were four Xs apart. Hughes came out on top, scoring 565.29 to Chui’s 563.27. In FTR Murray Cook (Ashburton was a runaway winner on 535.21 from Mark Alexander (Malvern) on 506.19 and Les Grimsey (Oamaru) on 502.11.

On Monday afternoon, four club TR teams and two club F class teams fought out the coached teams match. The Malvern TR team of du Toit, Charlotte Flanagan, Alan White and Chris Kershaw, coached by Bevan Mehrtens and Richard Rowlands, were dominant with all four shooters scoring in the 70s over the 15 shots to win with 283.17 from Cheltenham on 266.5.

Although Mason, Sam Boyce and Weaver picked up wickets, their side was well beaten, a lack of specialist batsmen coming back to haunt them. Next up for the reps is a Newman Shield one-day challenge match in Nelson on November 15. Finalists found Meanwhile, the finalists in the Marlborough 50-over competition have been found, Wairau Valley and Celtic booking places in next week’s trophy decider on Saturday. Heavy outfield conditions after overnight rain saw the final round-robin matches reduced to 35-over affairs. At Oliver Park, Valley easily accounted for a weakened Celtic outfit, prevailing by 129 runs. Wairau, who required a bonus point win to ease their way

into the final, were also well beaten, losing by 50 runs to Renwick, who claimed their first win of the season at Horton Park. Batting first Renwick battled their way to 143-8, Akhil Pant (48) and Corey Bovey (23) providing the bulk of the runs. Tim Petrie grabbed three wickets, Nick Weaver and Chris Turkington two apiece. In reply Wairau struggled from the outset, No 9 batsman Cameron Collins their top scorer with 26 as they slumped to 93 all out in the 29th over. Nick Wilder with 3-14 was top wicket-taker, while Jacob Zillwood and Rikki Bovey both claimed a brace. Valley racked up a handy total of 163 against Celtic, Bailey Andrews-Kennedy (40) and Tim Abrahams (38) top scoring. Matt McCormick bowled well to claim 3-14 from his seven overs. Celtic’s reply was finished in 13 overs, Andrews-Kennedy grabbing the stunning figures of 6-16, fellow opening bowler Joel Pannell picking up 3-12 as Celtic were dismissed for just 34.

Tennis leaders pushed hard Peter Jones

Greg Bryant, croquet’s national head coach, is heartened by the sport’s growth. Photo: Peter Jones.

Croquet coach targets younger brigade Peter Jones Greg Bryant, one of the nation’s most decorated croquet exponents, was in town recently to lend his expertise to a sport that has seen considerable growth in recent times. The multiple NZ title-holder and part of MacRobertson Shield world championship-winning combination in 2014, is the national head coach and sport development officer. He came to Marlborough to hold a two-day workshop, focusing on upskilling the region’s coaches. “Croquet in Marlborough is growing ... both at the Blenheim and Brooklyn bases,” said Greg. “We are seeing that nationally, particularly in golf croquet across all the regions.” He puts the rise down to croquet becoming “more visible in the last decade”. “There is more direct interaction with the croquet community and the national body. We have also established more community-based development initiatives, based around coaching coaches and our secondary schools programme.” Previously viewed as something of a pastime for older competitors, croquet is becoming increasingly more youth-focused. Underlining this trend is the fact that when the New Zealand team won the World Golf Croquet championships in Nelson this year the average age of the Kiwi side was 23. All of the Kiwi team had been previous under-21 world champions who had come out of the secondary schools programme. Greg says NZ Croquet have been working hard on introducing the sport at school level over the past decade. “Croquet traditionally has been

known as a sport for elderly, retired folk but there was a real call from the [croquet] community to change that image. In fact, all our test teams now are made up of young people, but they are not seen locally.” Greg said COVID had stalled the secondary schools programme this year but the national organization planned to re-boot it, with the help of the regional sports trusts. The sport is played in two forms - association croquet and golf croquet. “There are different sets of rules but the coaching content is around techniques that are applicable to both codes,” explained Greg. Golf croquet is the focus of the schools programme, being easy and quick to learn. “But it’s a very challenging game to master,” suggested Greg. “That’s the challenge with kids. They can pick up the game and be playing it in 10 minutes but they quickly realise that there is a lot of physical skill involved. “The game is quick and very interactive, going shot-for-shot, plus it’s non-gender specific at school age and the youngsters like that interaction. “And it’s something different … it’s stationary ball targets and most of the time school sport focusses on moving ball targets. It gives them their opportunity to expand their skill sets. “It also provides a chance for nonparticipants in traditional games and sport to be involved. “There are always kids who don’t want to take part in the mainstream sports but want to be involved in something and a lot of them are finding that avenue through golf croquet, it’s quite cool,” he added.

Mako forwards tame Lions Peter Jones Reporter

The Tasman forward pack answered their doubters in the best possible fashion on Saturday, setting up a commanding 19-3 victory over Wellington in Porirua. After being dominated up front during the side’s only losses this season, to North Harbour and Auckland, doubts began to surface over the potency of the Mako forwards. However, after paving the way for a comfortable win over Southland last weekend they stepped up to another level at the weekend, totally outplaying one of the leading premiership side’s packs. The battle of the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup premiership finalists was expected to be close, especially given their respective records this year. Interestingly, only five of the 13 Mako forwards named for the decider at Trafalgar Park last

year fronted up for Saturday’s rematch – Andrew Makalio, who impressed in his 50th game for the union, the returning Quinten Strange, Sione Havili, who gets better with each outing, Isaac Salmon and Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta. In contrast, Wellington fielded eight of their forward mix from the 2019 final. However it was the visiting side at Jerry Collins Stadium who looked the more powerful, cohesive, organised outfit. Their scrum held the upper hand for most of the match, their lineout was sound despite tricky conditions and both the Mako tries came from unstoppable lineout drives. Allied to that slick set piece work came some bruising defence from the big men, ensuring Wellington’s ball-carriers rarely breached the gain line. Mako co-head coach Andrew Goodman was “stoked” by his side’s efforts, especially the forward display.

When the Mako turned at halftime with an 11-point lead, despite playing with a strong wind at their backs, the game was very much in the balance, but Goodman said his side’s leaders pulled the right strings. “[The wind] was very gusty and

hard to play into, but I felt our nine [Finlay Christie] and 10 [Mitch Hunt] played really well in the second half. However it was the forwards who laid the platform for that victory … the maul, the scrum, just all the work they had to get through. “Isaac Salmon, both at scrum time and on defence, was out-

standing. A lot of the boys that have been given more of an opportunity this year stood up today. I’m really proud of them.” Goodman also praised the input of experienced squad members Ethan Blackadder and Strange. “Even when they have been unable to take the field they have been massive for us this year with all the work they have done with the lads, off the field.” The return of Strange, an All Black-in-waiting, to the field could not have come at a better time for the Mako, his presence an inspiration to his team mates. “It’s great to have his leadership back,” said Goodman, “he’s driven standards really high during the last couple of weeks when he’s been back on the training pitch so we hope to get a few more minutes from him next week.” The Mako, who briefly returned to the top of the premiership table with their victory, meet cellardwellers Canterbury in Blenheim on Saturday, kick off 7.05pm.
