Lost tramper rescued Paula Hulburt Editor

A disorientated tramper has been rescued after mistakenly following trap line markers instead of the track. Search and Rescue teams were alerted on Saturday afternoon that a woman was lost in the Pelorus River area after police received a 111 call. The team spent four hours in 28-degree heat tracking the missing walker who was later discovered dehydrated but unhurt. The LandSAR Marlborough field team leader says a full tracking team were deployed to Pelorus after police got a ping from her cell phone. “Once panic set in, the lost person realising they don’t make good decisions when panicked, stopped and called

emergency services and was instructed to stay put until rescued. “The reason for getting lost was following pink trapline markers. “Track markers in NZ are orange and this is the leading cause of people getting lost in our bush. “Trap lines are a set distance and then stop. Quite often people will continue trying to find these pink markers and get lost when they can’t find them,” he says. The woman, who is not from Marlborough, was in contact with the Incident Management Team via text. She was praised by the field leader for keeping calm. He says people in her situation should stay in one place and wait for help. “She did exactly what she should

By using whistles, the field team managed to find the approximate area where the lost tramper was. “The field team had a rough location and was conducting a soundline; a process of blowing whistles, along the track. “By now, the team was in deep bush and the lost person could no longer hear whistles or people so we backtracked and regrouped. “We found her about 500m from where we originally were over a ridge and in another gully.” The woman was discovered at 5.20pm, safe and well but thirsty and hungry and was back at Pelorus Bridge by 6.30pm. She did not require medical attention.

Coal boilers to get heave-ho at hospital Paula Hulburt

of a wider initiative to move towards more environmentally friendly options. “In Nelson Marlborough we’re future proofing our hospitals by replacing aging, dirty coalburning boilers with modern, green alternatives “Today’s announcement means DHBs can get to work now on the detailed planning work needed to make all these projects, and many more, a reality. “That will mean better health services for New Zealanders, and a more sustainable and secure future for our public health service, Dr Clark says. Nelson Marlborough Health chief executive Peter Bramley welcomed the move, say-

Coal hungry boilers are set to be ditched as part of a $5 million fund boost to future-proof Wairau Hospital. Over the last eight years, three old coal boilers have burnt through an average of 8,000 tonnes of coal. Health bosses have pledged to help reduce carbon emissions by choosing greener alternatives instead. Health Minister David Clark last week revealed Nelson Marlborough Health was one of several health boards around the country to benefit. Revealing the funds boost, Dr Clark says the move was part

ing the boilers needed to be replaced with “some urgency.” “We need to replace the Wairau boilers with some urgency and welcome this funding announcement. “While we don’t know exactly what fuel source or system will be best for Wairau Hospital, we can assure the community that it will not be coal-based. “We look forward to a ‘greener’ future for our hospitals,” he says. A three-month trial into using a wood pellet fuelled replacement has been postponed while engineering issues are investigated further. No time frame for the replacements is yet in place.

Steps in the right direction Matt Brown Reporter

matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A year ago, Ivan Miller started walking and 4000 kilometres later shows no signs of stopping. In a bid to raise awareness about mental health, and to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation, Ivan Miller left his Kerikeri home last February with the goal to traverse New Zealand by foot. And the mental health advocate returned to Marlborough on Sunday as he completed his circumnavigation of the South Island. So far, he’s travelled 4063 kilometres. “It’s a huge adventure,” Ivan says. “Every day is extraordinary.” The ups and downs of the winding roads through the countryside reflect the ups and downs Ivan has had through his own life. His own experience with mental health inspired him to reach out to others. “Everyone has a story,” Ivan says.

“It’s touched everybody. “I think mental health is something people haven’t talked about enough and it’s made me realise how big the issue is.” Ivan says he suffered with mental health issues for most of his life, and at 31 while working on a vineyard in Marlborough suffered a mental breakdown. After a stint at the Mental Health Unit at Nelson Hospital, Ivan credits his recovery to a friend who encouraged him to study the arts at NMIT in Nelson. In 2018 he was made redundant from the Kerikeri orchard where he works and, with his 50th birthday looking, he opted to take the chance to do “something memorable”. “It’s definitely been a memorable year,” he says. With no experience of long-distance walking, Ivan set out from Cape Reinga on 9 February 2019 with just his backpack and a new pair of walking shoes. “I got a really rude shock on the first day – I was gasping for breath.”

Ivan Miller has walked more than 4000 kilometres around New Zealand so far. Photo: Supplied. But with no cellphone reception along most of 90-mile beach, Ivan had no choice but to tough

it out. “It only took three or four weeks to build up that fitness,” he says.

“Now when I’m walking, it can be tough, but I don’t think about what my legs are doing anymore.” Ivan says his hope is to share his highs and lows along the way, walk with others, and basically allow others to follow his personal journey. He says he will have a few days rest catching up with mates in Marlborough and Wellington before turning his sights on the longest leg yet of his journey – the east coast of the North Island. “I’m only about two-thirds of the way through,” Ivan says. He says there’s about 2000 kilometres to go before the finish line, back where he began at Cape Reinga. “I’ve been helped and supported by a lot of people,” he says. “It’s been an amazing experience.” To support Ivan raise money for the Mental Health Foundation, donate at events.mentalhealth.org.nz/fundraisers/ ivanmiller/Ivan--s-Walk and follow him on Facebook at www. facebook.com/pg/Walking-forLife-1247548552058877

Sinking car sparks police call out A partially submerged car was pulled out of the Wairau River after shocked bystanders alerted police. The blue Holden Barina was discovered in the water about 4pm on Thursday

near Hillocks Road north of Spring Creek. Police attended the scene and the car was carefully hoisted out. A police spokeswoman says the

incident was not reported as an accident. “Typically, in instances such as this, the local council would be notified to have the vehicle removed,” she says.

Skin checks: Cancer Society Marlborough will hold their annual cancer awareness clinics later this month to help catch signs of skin cancers early. Skin specialists and GPs will be at the Marlborough Convention Centre on 28 February between 2pm - 7pm at Picton School on 4 March between 3-7pm, no appointments necessary. The clinics are free to the community but a donation to contribute to running costs is appreciated.

Paula Hulburt Marlborough’s online profile has just been given a makeover in a bid to woo more admirers. Destination Marlborough has unveiled a new-look website dedicated to show off all the region has to offer. MarlboroughNZ.com includes new sections sharing the ins and outs of living and working here. Destination Marlborough general manager Jacqui Lloyd says visitors who have a good time here could be inspired to make the region a permanent home. “Travellers who have a positive holiday experience in the region are more likely to be inspired to consider returning to live, work or do business here. “Having one site that can seamlessly serve up the right information to encourage this will be invaluable.” The project is a partnership with Marlborough District Council and supported by multiple regional agencies, Jacqui says. “It’s been built to provide an online portal to showcase Marlborough in a way that doesn’t duplicate what organisations are already doing, but instead, strengthens and underpins their activity.”

Until now, the website has been tailored towards attracting holiday visitors to the region, generating more than 31,000 visits a month. Marlborough Mayor John Leggett says the new website fills a much-needed gap for people thinking of relocating, working or investing here. “The site even has a section on film production, showcasing the amazing opportunities for filmmakers here in Marlborough,” he says.

Marlborough Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Hans Neilson says the site will be a valuable tool to help support business. “It means that anyone wanting to find out more about doing business here is directed to the right place and given a range of organisations to connect with, based on their desired pathway and supporting businesses to attract talent into the region.”

Sunshine hours: Only the hotter temperatures over the last few days have bought up the total number of sunshine hours for January. Latest figures from Blenheim Meteorological station at the Grovetown Park campus of the Marlborough Research Centre showed the first three weeks of January 2020 were much colder than normal. The mean temperature from 1 to 21 January was 16.0°C; 2.2°C below the January average. In dramatic contrast the mean temperature from 22 to 31 January was 20.8°C. January’s rainfall was the second lowest monthly level recorded since 1930. Night Market: Te Pātaka o Wairau Māori Night Market is back on 5 February 2020 from 4-8pm at Seymour Square in Blenheim. Geared towards showcasing Māori business and products, the market is back for a fourth year. Kapa Haka groups from across the region will supply the entertainment. Spokeswoman Dr Lorr Eade says the market is a great way for emerging businesses to exhibit their products.

Winefest goes smoke free Matt Brown The popular summer Wine and Food festival is giving fags the flick. Land-owners Pernod-Ricard has banned smoking at the long-standing event and are asking smokers to leave their cigarettes at home. And even vapes have come on the chopping block – with the entire site right to the road flagged as smoke free. Wine Marlborough event coordinator Loren Coffey praised the initiative, saying New Zealand had been heading in this direction for a while. “None of their [Pernod Ricard] workers can smoke on their site – so it’s fair to extend it to events,” she says. In recent years, smoking was confined to a designated area. But this year those areas have been canned. “If anyone’s smoking on site they will be politely told to put it out,” Loren says. The policy, part of Pernod Ricard’s 2020 sustainability plan, was shared with wineries attending the festival at a briefing last Thursday. Loren says stallholders were supportive of the initiative.

Problematic potholes across the region could be getting fixed faster. Marlborough District Council has awarded a seven-year road maintenance and renewal contract worth $160 million jointly to Fulton Hogan and HEB. And service staff have pledged to put “greater emphasis” on ridding the region of potholes. Assets and services manager Richard Coningham says there will also be more road inspections. “There will also be increased CBD street cleaning and unsealed road and motorcycle route maintenance. “Greater emphasis will also be placed on maintaining Marlborough Sounds’ roads,” he says. Council invests over $12 million each year in roading maintenance and renewal projects around the Marlborough region. As the owner of the local roading network, council is responsible for maintaining 242km of footpaths, 917km of sealed roads, 630km of unsealed roads and 367 bridges. “We’ve worked with Marlborough Roads to ensure we are getting good value from this contract – we’ve kept any cost increases to a minimum,” Richard says. New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) top of the south system manager Andrew James presented his report on the roading contract to the council’s assets

Under the new contract, footpaths in Picton and Blenheim’s town centres would be cleaned “at least once a week” by a scrubbing machine. Picton Business Group chairman Graham Gosling floated the idea during last year’s annual plan. Councillor Gerald Hope says Blenheim’s

town centre was looking a bit dowdy. “Look at the amphitheatre ... The synthetic grass is filthy, and the birds don’t help. As good as the contract is going to be, we have to lift the standard in the CBD,” he says. The contract starts on 1 April 2020.

How NMIT opens doors to industry Most students can only dream of leaving school early and walking into the career that they have always wanted. But that’s exactly what Clayton Anderson did, with the help of NMIT and Nelson construction company Gibbons Naylor. Clayton didn’t particularly enjoy the academic side of school, but he was a natural when it came to practical skills. He aspired to one day be a builder, so he signed up for the Trades Academy at NMIT while he was still at Waimea College. The Trades Academy is for students who want to stay in school to complete NCEA, but are ready to start training for a real job. Clayton would attend the Trades Academy on Fridays, working towards a National Certificate in Trades, while going to school the rest of the week. Trades Academy students work in NMIT’s carpentry barn and enclosed construction yard where they learn real-world skills that prepare them for jobs, apprenticeships or further study. Students learn skills like making pre-framed walls, installing windows, hanging doors, and how to interpret plans and create drawings for building projects. They are also given a lot of freedom to pursue their own projects and a highlight for Clayton was building a large ken-

nel for his hunting dogs at home. Clayton was quickly identified as a student who showed a lot of promise, both in terms of his practical skills and attitude. Trades Academy tutor Richard Shepherd knew that Gibbons Naylor was looking for a new apprentice and so he recommended Clayton. At the age of 16, Clayton started as an apprentice with Gibbons Naylor while studying for the New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) at NMIT. “It’s pretty rare. There’s probably only two or three learners that I’ve come across at that age in the last five years that had the ability to do that,” says NMIT Construction Tutor Steve McIntyre. “It is a big step to go from school to industry. We were happy to help Clayton get there.” Clayton says he enjoys the balance of completing his online portfolio and learning new practical skills at NMIT. He says that Gibbons Naylor has also been really supportive during the first year of his apprenticeship. “They help you through and put you with the right guys, match you with people with skills they can teach you. We also get hearing checks, skin checks and a dental plan.” Business Update. Adv.

Cat death prompts warning Matt Brown The owner of a cat thought to have been viciously mauled by a dog wants other pet owners to be on their guard. Suzanne O’Docherty, from Blenheim, popped out to the supermarket on Wednesday night, leaving her husband, Brian, watching the news. But when she returned, 45 minutes later, she came back to the lifeless body of her beloved pet part-Maine Coon, Sparky, in their garden. She is warning other pet owners to be on their guard “It looked like he had been shaken and had his neck broken,” Suzanne says. Suzanne says she thinks a dog that has been chased off their property before is responsible. Husband Brian had already scared off the dog earlier that evening. She doesn’t want to reveal the breed of the dog, as she believes the fault lies with the owners. Now, Suzanne, who works at the SPCA opshop, says she’s afraid to adopt another pet, in case it happens again. “This is the first time in my

Suzanne says dog control have been excellent, combing the streets for the offending canine. After moving from a rental near the railway line, Suzanne says she loved the new quiet Redwoodtown neighbourhood. “We loved this place, we thought Sparky would be

safe. “He was in his own yard; he hadn’t done anything. “He wasn’t a wanderer.” Suzanne says she has seen the dog around the neighbourhood several times. “The dog is innocent,” she says. “The fault falls on the owners, not the dog. “The owners have a lot to answer for.

“There have been a few people in Blenheim who have had their pets attacked by dogs.” The three-year-old tom cat originally belonged to Suzanne’s granddaughter. “He was the most affectionate, loving animal we’ve ever had.” “Sparky was a bit too trusting, but I’m worried it might happen again,” she says.

Cricket reps book hometown final Peter Jones It’s home sweet home for the Marlborough senior men’s rep cricketers after they completed a comfortable first innings win over Canterbury Country at the weekend. On Saturday, they earned the right to host the Hawke Cup zone three cricket final when they bettered nearest challenger Canterbury Country on the first innings, then on Sunday the match was called off early with little chance of an outright result and Country unable to catch the hosts even if they did get one. After being inserted at Horton Park the visitors, who trailed Marlborough by seven points on the overall standings going into the weekend’s final round robin match, were undone by a steady diet of controlled pace bowling. They were dismissed for a meagre 139 in the 44th over, a total Marlborough passed for the loss of just five wickets, effectively booking hosting rights for the threeday zone challenge decider on February 14-16. Hero with the ball for Marlborough was seamer Sam Boyce who claimed 5-34 from nine overs. The experienced medium pacer troubled all the opposition batsmen, bowling two of his victims and having three caught behind by keeper Ma’ara Ave. Nick Weaver continued his recent wicket-taking form, grabbing 2-48 from 13. Harry MacDonald bowled economically, conceding just 20 runs from his 10 overs, as did Chris Turkington, 1-8 from five, and Jerrym Lamb, 1-22 from seven.

Canterbury Country opener Rupert Young provided the most resistance for the southerners, putting together a patient 49 from 73 balls, but his team mates struggled to provide support. No 8 batsman Angus Sidey, with 22 from 38, helped out near the end but their final tally was never going to be enough if Marlborough, even without key batsman Prabodha Arthavidu who is unavailable this week, batted well. And that they did. There were initial hiccups with Joel Lavender, Ave and skipper Matthew Stretch all back in the pavilion before tea with only 33 on the board. Opener Tom Sutherland, who contributed a dogged 33 from 72 balls departed soon after the break, bringing veterans Andrew McCaa and Jerrym Lamb together. Despite Country ringing the bowling changes in an attempt to make further inroads the pair combined for a game-changing partnership of 79 before McCaa fell for a defiant 38 from 69. Lamb was joined by MacDonald who quickly took the attack to Country, a six over long on pushing the home side’s tally past their rivals and confirming final hosting rights. MacDonald’s quick-fire innings of 19 ended with the score at 152, then Lamb was dismissed for a superb 56 from 113 balls just 15 runs later. The former captain’s composure under pressure and willingness to play each ball on its merits were pivotal on a day when batting application was not always top priority. However the some side were not done, showing off their batting depth as the visitors wilted in the

Akhil Pant, on his debut, was unbeaten on 24 at the close while Cooper Roberts scored a composed 19 from 30 balls as Marlborough ended a satisfying day at 217-8 from 66 overs, an overall lead of 78 runs heading into the final day. On a sweltering Sunday morning, Marlborough continued to frustrate the visiting attack, Pant moving through to a well-organised 47 from 85 balls, and featuring in a 50-run partnership with Chris Turkington who finished unbeaten on 23 as Marlborough’s first innings ended on 261, a lead of 122. Best of the Country bowlers, who were accurate and economical although not constantly threatening, was medium pacer Will Smith, a late call-up for Canterbury player Fraser Sheat, who

bagged 4-50 from 16 overs. Sam Chamberlain picked up 2-36 while opening paceman Jed Roberts grabbed 2-34. Batting a second time, Country looked more solid, moving through to 81-1, Jeremy Benton 42 not out, before time was called by captain’s agreement at the scheduled lunch break. Marlborough head coach Jarrod Englefield said his side “got heaps” out of the game. “It was a very pleasing result. We had to approach this game differently to the last one … the way the points were structured we had to make sure we didn’t lose outright so we could gain a home final … we decided to give ourselves the best chance of doing that by bowling first. “To bowl like we did showed a lot of character … we put the ball in the right areas … any time you

can bowl Canterbury Country out for 139 is a great effort. “When we batted we were under pressure at the top but we established partnerships, batted deep and long. To get 250 showed we are batting well at the moment – it just gives us a lot of confidence moving into the final.” Englefield was delighted by Boyce’s effort. “It was his second five-wicket bag for Marlborough – he set it up for us by getting out the key batsmen. He was outstanding and well supported by Harry MacDonald, Chris Turkington and Nick Weaver. “With the bat we had Jerrym and Andrew who showed their experience, knuckled down in a tight spot and gave us a really good chance of getting the first innings result. Akhil Pant also batted well … there were plenty of highlights.”

Renwick set up breakthrough tennis win Peter Jones Renwick CPR claimed the Marlborough premier tennis title for the first time on Wednesday evening, downing Rapaura Wairau River Blanc in a thrilling final at Pollard Park. The two country clubs fought out a thrilling nine-match decider, an encounter which was postponed from last year due to inclement weather. There were no such issues this time around with the tie played in balmy conditions, top-qualifiers Renwick eventually taking the honours six matches to three. The evening began with two men’s doubles and one mixed encounter, Renwick making a bold start by winning two of the three. In the No 1 doubles Rapaura’s Ant Walkenhorst and Lee Harborne defeated Oscar SanfordJury and Darren Herd 7-6, 7-5 in a match that was tight throughout, the Rapaura duo prevailing after doing slightly better on the big points. In the second men’s doubles clash, Renwick bounced back in emphatic fashion, Chris Nott and Joseph Sanford-Jury beating Ste-

phen Dempster and Hiro Kashida 6-2, 6-3. Renwick sprung something of a surprise by putting the vastlyexperienced Dave Sandford in their mixed doubles combination, alongside Meiko Kimura, but it paid dividends. In another closely-fought encounter the Renwick pair came through 7-5, 6-4 against Ben Burridge and Donna Clark. With Renwick leading 2-1 Rapaura needed some early singles success. Harborne got them started, winning a 6-1, 3-6, 10-8 thriller against Oscar Sandford-Jury but Renwick were able to claim the following four men’s ties, giving them an unassailable lead. Dave Sanford downed Walkenhorst 6-1, 6-2, Nott accounted for Dempster in another thriller, prevailing 6-2, 6-7, 12-10 to rack up a crucial point, Joseph Sandford-Jury overcame Kashida then Herd beat Burridge 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 in another tight encounter. The women’s single went the way of Rapaura, Clark getting the better of Kimura 6-1, 6-1, but it was not enough to stop Renwick getting their hands on the silverware for the first time since it was in-

Low scores mark Rarangi Spectacular Some superb, and perhaps unprecedented, scoring over two days earned John Billingsley and Sam Rainbird victory in the men’s section of the annual McKendry Honda Rarangi Summer Spectacular golf tournament. A capacity field took part in the popular event at the immaculately-presented seaside course last weekend. An accumulated score of 194 shots on Saturday and Sun-

day saw them crowned as clear winners, finishing with a clear advantage over second-placed Graeme Kerrigan and Jamie Norton on 203. Third were Bruce Curgenven and David Best, also on 203, while Brooke and Ian Hale finished fourth with 204. The women’s section was won by the experienced duo of Rete Kydd and Di McCarthy, who scored 211. A shot back were Annie Hubert and Mari-

ann Best, with visitors Donna Mitchell and Keriana Scott another shot adrift in third. Sue Lang and Lyn Brice, who were looking for a “three-peat” after winning the event for the past two years, finished fourth on 214 in a close tussle for the top spots. The event comprised a four ball/best ball nett round on Saturday and a combined nett on Sunday. Play started before 7am both days.

Marlborough based rowers claimed a string of podium placings, including four golds, at the South Island championships staged at Lake Ruataniwha last weekend. Gold medals went to Central RPC’s Tristan Gregory-Hunt, in the men’s premier single, the Wairau women’s club quad of Macey Kappely, Eva Lloyd, Polly Wenlock and Jaimee Bridger, the Wairau women’s intermediate quad comprising Meg Flanagan, Liv Theodore, Maggie Lane, Kelsey Daldorf plus cox Lara Bacchus and the Blenheim men’s intermediate double of Logan Macdonald and Fred Vavasour. Seven crews claimed silver medals, including the Wairau girls under-17 eight (Flanagan, Daldorf, Lane, Georgia Macdonald, Lily Crawford, Theodore, Cleo Ingram, Paige Materoa and cox Bacchus. Other silver medallists were the Wairau men’s senior pair of Jack Castle and Will Johnston, the Wairau women’s club pair of Maddi Robinson and Bridger, the Wairau men’s club quad comprising Will Dunkley, Elliot Rose, Lachlan Stevens and Will Samson, Wairau’s Flanagan in the intermediate single, the Wairau premier men’s quad of Harrison Somerville, Sebastian and Rhys Krappe plus Jordan Gasson, as well

Renwick second grade cricket team take out T20 trophy Peter Jones

Renwick’s second grade cricketers took out the second grade Twenty20 title at Horton Park on Thursday. The top qualifiers for the decider won a high-scoring encounter over Celtic Green, prevailing by just four runs. Both sides batted well. Renwick were first at the crease and an unbeaten 77 from 62 balls from former rep opener Rikki Bovey set the foundation for their very competitive score of 152-4. Their innings was battling at 9-2 and then 56-3 before Andrew Marshall joined Bovey, the pair putting together a match-winning third wicket 96-run partnership. Marshall finished with 31 from just 13 balls. Celtic put together a series of handy partnerships during their unsuccessful run chase. Joel Logan scored 22 from 15, fellow opener Ollie Lawson hit 37 from 39 and Jared Bullen 31 not

out from 28 to lead the scoring. Needing 10 from the final over for victory Celtic were only able to muster five from Jacob Zillwood’s bowling. Both Zillwood and Rijvanahmed Suthar bagged three wickets from their four over allocation. Senior grade Although the final combatants have been decided, there was plenty of interest in the penultimate round of senior Twenty20 cricket on Wednesday evening. Celtic, who are locked into a final berth alongside Renwick, beat Marlborough Boys’ College by 41 runs, while Wairau showed signs of a late resurgence with a sixwicket win over Renwick. Celtic batted first against MBC, their total of 114 continuing the trend of low post-Xmas scores. Former rep player Matt McCormick made a welcome return for the Green and Golds, top-scoring with 29 from 25 balls batting seven. No 9 Tom Turner scored a late 21 to bolster an innings that

Cameron Collins bagged 2-8 from three overs for the students, Tim Petrie grabbing 2-13 from four overs of spin. College made a steady start, Petrie and Ben Ivory-McCullum getting them through to 21 before Ivory-McCullum departed. Petrie anchored the innings with a patient 20 from 41 balls, but could

not find anyone to stay with him in the middle as Celtic picked up wickets steadily, eventually dismissing the students for 73 in the final over. Josh Poole was the main destroyer with 4-10 from his four overs, while James Croker grabbed 2-6 and veteran medium pacer Greg Hegglun 2-10. Meanwhile, a top allround performance from Harry MacDon-

ald saw Wairau to a comfortable victory over Renwick. The rep player bagged 4-35 as the Green Machine were restricted to 141-7 from their 20 overs, then blasted 69 from 34 balls to get Wairau home in the 16th over, with just four wickets down. Joseph Timms scored a quickfire 30 from 13 balls to top the Renwick batting display, while all of the top eight reached double figures to post a competitive score. Wairau’s reply was based around a superb 98-run third wicket partnership between MacDonald and Tom Rawcliffe, who posted an unbeaten 39 from 38 balls. Cory Golding and Akhil Pant both bagged a brace of wickets for Renwick. The final round robin games will be played on Wednesday with the final planned for Friday, February 7. Standings: Celtic 22, Renwick 22 (played all their games), Wairau 14, Wairau Valley 10, MBC 4.
