She was on her way to her forever home when she disappeared, leaving her heartbroken owner fearing the worst. Lani, a 16-month-old shih tzu-bichon cross, went missing in Blenheim on her way to Queenstown. But yesterday, new owner Aleisha Blackley, finally got to hug the small white dog who disappeared for 18 days. Now being treated for dehydration and puncture wounds, Lani was spotted on Sunday just 2km from where she went missing. “We looked for her day and night for a few days with no luck,” Aleisha says. “We were honestly at the point where we thought she was picked up by someone because we had not one sighting of her.” Getting the call to say Lani had been seen was “the best news ever.” “Lani was spotted today at 2pm on the highway about 2km from where she was lost by a lovely lady called Nicola, she nearly got hit by a car and shot down the side ditch out into the paddock. “Nicola’s partner quickly jumped out and chased Lani down while Nicola

The company, Hopkins Horse Transport, have since offered $3000 to go towards Lani’s vet bills. Aleshia says Lani is expected to make a full recovery from her injuries. “Lani is doing well, they have just sedated her this morning [Monday] to clean out her multiple puncture wounds on her chest near her front leg and to do some x-rays to make sure nothing

is broken. She is on antibiotics as the wounds are badly infected. She is very skinny but has eaten a little and drinking so she is a fighter.” She says she is grateful for the help she received from the Marlborough community. “To the Blenheim locals who kept an eye out and took time out of their day to search for Lani - thank you, it was so reassuring knowing so many people cared about finding Lani as much as I did! “It felt like I had the whole of NZ backing me which made me even more determined and we finally today on Day 18 got that magical outcome. It was really hard to keep the faith but I didn’t want to give up on her which has paid Lani has finally been found, 18 days after she went missing on the way to her off.” new home. Photo: Supplied.

Caution urged as Covid arrives MATT BROWN

matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A new case of Covid has been detected by Nelson Marlborough Health. The news comes as hospital staff warn people not to be complacent when it comes to Covid as case numbers across the country become more widespread. The new case will be added to today’s total. Strict infection control procedures are in place at Wairau Hospital as staff stay vigilant for cases of the highly infectious disease. And the risk is increasing every day, senior staff warn. Duty Nurse manager Simon Langford says if people don’t see the virus in the community, they feel the risk is low. But it’s not a risk staff are willing to take - if the virus got loose in the community, it would be horrible, he says. “People with ordinary illness wouldn’t have got health care.” That risk is going to increase drastically over the next few months, he says. As case numbers continued to rise, events in Marlborough fell victim to the virus with many being cancelled. But a Wairau Hospital manager says wishing for events that never were, while frustrating, is unpro-

ductive. Wairau Hospital Charge Nurse manager ED HDU Richard Sluiter says because Covid isn’t widespread in the region, people feel many events could have gone ahead. “But if we don’t have our processes in place now – then when?” Richard highlights the recent Auckland escapees that caused a Covid scare in Blenheim. “If we weren’t being vigilant, we could have ended up with quite a pocket,” he says. Richard says procedures such as hip replacements get pushed to the side when the health care system gets overwhelmed. “Transmission can be very rapid and we have vulnerable people in hospital,” he says. The hospital is currently operating under mask mandates, strict appointment scheduling and a restricted visitor policy. Paediatrics secretary Sharron Stace says they’ve had to become much firmer with visiting hours, although they make accommodations for families as much as they can. She says there has been a surprising benefit from their renewed look at appointments, with patients seeing doctors faster. “Waiting times are much less – people are only waiting five minutes,” she says.

Richard says those coming to hospital for treatment will always receive care but may be placed in isolation. “It depends on why they’re coming to the hospital,” he says.

Richard says the best thing people can do to protect the community is to get vaccinated. “In essence, it reduces the severity of the illness. “It stops you being admitted to hospital and it will help prevent long Covid. He says a significant number of people are having long periods of convalescence in the United Kingdom.

“It’s a well-known and significant problem,” he says. “If we see a large number of cases, there will be significant effects – especially for the unvaccinated.” The Nelson Marlborough DHB is at 91 per cent partially vaccinated and 84 per cent fully vaccinated. Richard says the people of Marlborough should be applauded for getting behind it.

also came to help. The driver of one car drove away, seemingly unhurt while the other was badly shaken but not injured. A police spokeswoman says enquiries were being made into the incident.

Widespread wattle control is off the table as council bosses prioritise spending elsewhere. Worried residents in the Picton area have been raising concerns for several years over wattle infestations. But a recent report funded by Marlborough District Council has revealed the cost of keeping the pest species at bay is just too high to commit to. The move comes as the report found little to link wattle to air borne allergies in the region. Council’s Biosecurity Manager Jono Underwood says there is now a chance for local communities to step up to help. “The wattle infestations around Waitohi/Picton have been raised by the community as a concern in recent years, especially a perceived link between wattle flowering and allergy symptoms. “However, the new report cites several studies from Australia and New Zealand that have found minimal links between wattle pollen and allergies in Australasia. “While broad-scale wattle management is not a strategic regional priority, there are opportunities for communities to decide how to manage wattles locally.” The report, led by Lincoln University researchers, was discussed at a recent Environment Committee meeting. Scientific Investigation into Wattle infestations in the vicinity of Waitohi/Picton by Dr Tim Curran, Dr Jon Sullivan and Dr Azharul Alam was commissioned to investigate wattle infestations and assess its danger as

a fire hazard. It says wattles are notoriously difficult to control and any meaningful control would require substantial funding and a very long commitment. “In terms of fire hazard, researchers found wattle-dominated stands represent a relatively high fire hazard, with moderate to high flammability material. “However, many of the native tree species regenerating under Acacia (wattle) species have low flammability, which suggests that fire hazard risks will decline over time as the landscape transitions to native vegetation,” Jono says. The main species found around Waitohi/Picton is Acacia dealbata which is usually spread through human activity like land disturbance. Lincoln University researchers suggested the most effective way to reduce wattle infestations in places like the hills around Waitohi/Picton is to foster the regeneration of existing native vegetation, reduce pressure from browsing feral animals and aim to close the native canopy. “There are some great community programmes already in Waikawa Bay and Havelock targeting wattles and other invasive species,” Jono says. “The best approach for communities is to look at the wider alignment across ecological restoration initiatives – either existing or new – to find funding and foster the best outcomes for biodiversity. “However, for council, when our resources are limited, there is a need to balance local community desires with our strategic regional biodiversity and biosecurity priorities.”

Whanāu Ora navigators to guide Marlburians to success MATT BROWN

matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A bid to boost family wellbeing and help local families achieve their dreams has seen a vital community support initiative grow. The programme for whānau has been expanded in Marlborough, with the community’s Omaka Marae the latest to offer the successful Whānau Ora service. Two new navigators will deliver the initiative, helping achieve aspirations, and encouraging the wellbeing of families. Navigator Deedee Bancroft Wickens says the programme is about the community supporting community. “It’s a natural progression for Omaka to have one here,” she says. “We have to make sure the need is there – that people know we’re here to help them.” The full-time position was split into two part time roles, with Deedee joined by Nikki Brown. Nikki, of Ngati Maniapoto, says getting to know her whakapapa

drew her to the Whānau Ora programme. “It’s supporting our own whānau to realise their own potential,” she says. “It doesn’t have to be problem based; it can be business based. “It’s identifying what success looks like to them.” Nikki says Whānau Ora takes a kaupapa Māori approach to improve the wellbeing of whānau as a group. She says they don’t just focus on the success of one person, but get the whole family involved. “We’re looking at a whole whanau and their wellbeing. “It’s getting a broader view, and getting the whole family involved. It’s not just the success of one person.” She says the type of support they offer varies, from sorting out drivers’ licenses to setting up businesses. Deedee says a lot of people are doing what they’ve always done. “You can get stuck in a rut. Sometimes, you just need the right questions to get the brain turning over.

New Whanāu Ora navigators Deedee Bancroft Wickens and Nikki Brown. Photo: Matt Brown. “It’s asking what makes them happy, if there’s goals they want to achieve. Making plans for one, three or five years - and how to get there,” Deedee says. “It might be doing up your house. “What are the first steps? Do you need to go to council, or find a

builder?” She says Whanau Ora is doing what whanau used to do back in the day - working together to get kai. Founded by Dame Tariana Turia in 2010, the cross-government programme is jointly implement-

ed by the Ministry of Health, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Ministry of Social Development. The programme is currently offered by Ngati Rarua, Maataa Waka and Waikawa Marae. “We look for people to help, and people can sign up,” Deedee says. Deedee, of Ngati Parou, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, Tūwharetoa, says the initiative is for Omaka marae people initially, but as it’s community-based, anybody who wants to be part of a marae can go there. Nikki says the pandemic has got everybody in a fight or flight sense. “There’s a lot of anxiety,” Deedee says. “Money pressures for those that don’t want the vaccine. Social pressures. “It’s checking in on our people and finding what we can to support – even if it’s just a cup of tea and a chat,” she says. “We don’t just do whanau Ora as a job – we live it.” The Whānau Ora programme is available now from Omaka Marae.

Annual truffle fundraiser bigger than ever MATT BROWN

matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

With music blaring, children are hard at work rolling truffles as they sing happily along to the hits. It’s truffle time again at Bohally Intermediate School and this year the school’s annual fundraiser is bigger than ever. Bohally teacher and truffle fundraiser organiser Sorayah Lindstrom says this year students will be rolling more than 130,000 truffles – a new record. “It’s the biggest hands-on school fundraiser that I know of,” she says. “It’s like a factory.” More than 500 year seven and eight students are mixing, rolling and packaging to raise funds for the school. The student-led fundraiser has been providing the popular Christmas treats to the community for about 15 years. Sorayah says the event raises more than $20,000 annually for the school. Each class does at least one shift. Student leaders create and deliver the mixture to the students and parent volunteers rolling the truffles. Funds raised have gone towards physical education gear, laptops for students and sporting

The funds raised this year aren’t yet earmarked but will benefit the students, Sorayah says. “It’s the most we’ve sold – every year it just keeps getting bigger.” “I think we sold 104,000 last year. They sell themselves,” she says. “Everyone in the community knows it’s truffle time.” It’s year 7 student Connor Johnson’s first time rolling truffles, he says the best bit is the music. “It’s way better than being in class,” he says. Bedecked in hair nets and rub-

ber gloves, the mixture is quickly transformed into uniform truffle balls and coated in coconut. Principal Nicky Cameron-Dunn says the annual truffle event has students collaborating and raising money at the same time. “Fundraisers are often run by parents, but this one is run by the students,” she says. “It’s a positive fundraiser.” The truffles were traditionally sold at Mistletoe Market, but with the event being cancelled this year orders were only available via the students.

Road surface work will see Weld Pass close for five nights from the beginning of December. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency crews will be working on improving the road surface in the Weld Pass, on SH1 and access to traffic will be limited. Waka Kotahi Journey Manager Tresca Forrester says drivers will be allowed through at limited times. “Drivers will be allowed through every two hours overnight and emergency vehicles will be accommodated at all times,” she says. The work will run from Sunday, 5 December through to Thursday night, 9 December, 7 pm to 6 am the next day. Drivers will be allowed through every two hours, with a ten to

15-minute window for single lane traffic each way. After the 7 pm closure, the first opening will be at 9pm, then 11pm, 1am, 3am and 5 am. Full opening at 6am. “Waka Kotahi thanks all drivers who may be inconvenienced and encourage everyone to plan for the opening times if they can. Traffic will be queued at each end between opening times. “We encourage people who have ferries booked to ensure they factor in these delays south of Picton if they are leaving in the evening,” Tresca says. Electronic signs will advertise the closures at each end ie near Blenheim at the Roadhouse entry and in Seddon as well as fixed signs in other places.

Home planning: Marlborough District Council has commissioned a survey to investigate what is important to Blenheim households when choosing a place to live. Survey results will help Marlborough District Council with their long-term planning. People will be asked about preferred location, purchase or rental price and the number of bedrooms needed. Council Strategic Planner Emma Toy says Blenheim’s population could increase to over 34,000 by 2048, according to Statistics New Zealand projections. Beach life: The need to stop greenspace erosion and to create a safer place for visitors sparked an upgrade of Picton’s Shelly Beach Reserve. Picnic tables have been installed, log seating put in and two new park benches will go in on the grassed area. Concreting beyond the boat ramp area is also underway. “As a great space for families, with a safe swimming beach, there was also a pressing need to improve pedestrian safety in the area after a number of near misses between small children and vehicles,” says Marlborough Sounds Ward councillor Nadine Taylor.

Golfing goals in sight PAULA HULBURT

paula@marlboroughmedia. co.nz

A team of keen golfers are taking to the fairway for a marathon game to help Cancer Society Marlborough. Together, Jamie Norton, Matt Croad, Bob Tate and Jason Giblin make up team Hole Lotta Golf! And they have chosen to take their Longest Day challenge several steps further, by playing golf for 24 hours. For Jamie, the challenge is especially important as his mother-in-law in Australia has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. “It’s been hard as we have not been able to travel so I thought this would a really nice way to stand with her during her fight,” he says. Matt and Jamie took part in the Cancer Society’s Longest Day event last year and vowed afterwards they would never do it again. But the chance to help the charity bridge their fundraising gap proved too tempting for the duo, who called on Bob and Ja-

The Blenheim friends hope to raise $20,000 for the cancer charity who missed out on Daffodil Day Street collections this year. “This year, they couldn’t do their main fund raiser with Daffodil Day so we thought we would do what we can to bridge the gap,” Jamie says

Last year, Matt and Jamie took 15 hours to play four rounds of golf and walked around 48km. This year they expect to cover as much as 75km while completing the challenge at Fairhall Gold Course. As part of their fundraising efforts, the team will host a dinner and auction at Marlborough Golf Club Friday on 3 of

December. This will feature a guest panel of sporting personalities taking part in a Q&A plus a variety of cancer specialists sharing some key messages. An auction will also be held, with local businesses already donating to the cause. “We’ve had some incredible donations from the community,” Jamie says. “The $20,000 will be very attainable but the more the merrier.” “The golf itself will be kicking off 7pm Saturday the 4th of December. We will be joined on the day by the Marlborough Cancer Society We also want to assist the Cancer Society Marlborough so they can share details of the amazing work they do locally. “We can’t do this alone and this is where all of you legends come in.

Big Pants: The Real Conspiracy Marlborough comedian Chris Lippiatt takes on government mandates; advocating for the right to air his grievances, and his privates. CHRIS LIPPIATT People are saying the government has gone too far with rules, restrictions and conformity or else they will take away your basic rights. And I’d have to say that I agree. But my friend this is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s bigger and older than you think. I saw a man in a cafe the other day who refused to wear a mask. He also wore a MAGA hat and told people it stood for Make Ardern Go Away. I quickly Googled if Jacinda Ardern was still the prime minister; she was, so I suppose the hat didn’t work. I passed on my condolences to the man on his hat failure, but he was hopeful that it will work eventually. This man began to educate me on the ‘fact’ that the definition of the word mandatory doesn’t mean that you have to do the thing that that is mandated. I always thought that the word mandate came from the Latin mandatus and meant commandment, and a commandment is a thing you

have to do. But who am I to argue with a man in such a witty and intelligent hat? The man educated me on the fact that it is against basic human rights for the government to force people to wear something against our will to acquire basic needs like going to the supermarket and visiting the doctor and gathering in public places. To make it worse. The government won’t even supply these masks to us for free, we must pay for them ourselves and someone is profiting from this. Now I haven’t read and memorised the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993. But the man in the fabulous rouge headwear assured me he knew and though he couldn’t recite it, he was more than willing to paraphrase it for me. I’m not sure if it was his charisma, which could look like arrogance to a lesser person, or perhaps it was the captivating allure of the acronymical head topper he wore, but I was starting to think

Comedian Chris Lippiatt. independently... or I was starting to think like him. I can’t tell the difference. But a lightbulb went on. I thought yes, that is so true. How can the government force citizens to wear and pay for something against our will just so we can access basic services such as going to the supermarket, visiting the doctor and meeting in public places. But it doesn’t begin or end with masks, I explained to the man. No, this is much bigger. Even

before COVID, the government was doing this. Think about it. Everyone is born naked, then all of a sudden we are required by law to wear clothes to get our basic human needs. You can’t go to the supermarket, gather in public places, or see the doctor without wearing these insidious ‘clothes’. Even though the doctor often asks you to remove garments, it’s illegal to come pre-prepared. The government has decency laws to punish us for being naked

Hearing issues spark call for kindness And when getting masks on and off it’s pulling hearing aids out. Jacquie Bugler

but won’t buy us clothes. Someone is profiting. I swear there is a conspiracy with Big Pants lobbying the government so they can fill their coffers with that sweet sweet jeans money. Even my new hat wearing friend is unwittingly a part of the diabolical scheme. I had to save him, so armed with his eloquent paraphrasing of human rights, I invited him to get naked with me then and there in the cafe. I even offered to help him remove his oppressive garments. My new friend strangely wanted no part of this and looked at me as though I was a crazy and potentially dangerous conspiracy theorist. Was it true? Is there no Big Pants? Are decency laws really just there to protect ourselves and others and paying for clothes only exists because clothes cost money to make and we live in a capitalist nation? If so, then I guess accepting that mask mandates exist for the same reason is not such a big ask. Just a thought.

Dolphins resurface PETER JONES

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Once again it was a win and loss for Marlborough-based teams in the Tasman Premier League cricket competition on Saturday. In round four action, the JT Contracting Dolphins picked up a three-wicket win over Nelson College, while the Falcons lost by 65 runs to ACOB. Both matches were played in Nelson. Against Nelson College, Dolphins won the toss and elected to bowl, soon turning the screws on the school side. The loss of early wickets saw College reeling at 48-4 before opener Sam John and Will Bixley put together a 63-run partnership for the fifth wicket. However, when Liam Young, who bagged 3-7 from 4.4 overs, removed Bixley and Tom Sloan, 2-25 from nine, took care of John there was little resistance from the lower order as College crumbled to 127 all out in the 39th over. In reply, an opening stand of 36 between Logan Robinson, 22 from 18, and Hunter Ruffell 21 from 47, gave Dolphins a solid base and, despite losing wickets steadily, they battled their way to 128-7 in the 31st over. An unbeaten 36 from 34 balls from Jerrym Lamb maintained stability, while Isaac Rawlings-Briggs added 17 not out to get the job done. Meanwhile, at the Botanics, ACOB posted a total of 184 all out in the 46th over. A well-paced 42 to opener

Thomas Zohrab set the tone, with James Graham, 39 from 51, Mitchell Bailey, 28 from 45 and Reuben Smith, 24 from 15, keeping the runs flowing steadily rather than spectacularly. Sam Boyce, with 3-26 from nine overs, led the Falcons’ attack while Nick Weaver, Cameron Collins and Tim Petrie all picked up a brace. Then the Falcons’ batting, so often inconsistent, had another off day. They lost their fifth wicket with just 39 runs on the board, in the 20st over and battled from then on. Twenty-five from No 6 batsman Matthew Stretch and 23 from pace bowler Nick Weaver added respectability to the visiting side’s score but they were well behind the asking rate and out of the game when the final wicket fell in the 42nd over with just 119 on the board. Thomas and David Zohrab proved too hard for the Falcon’s batsmen to handle, bagging a brace apiece, while Bailey claimed 3-25 to secure the day’s best figures. Meanwhile, Celtic and Wairau Valley opened the 2021-22 Marlborough senior Twenty20 competition with victories at Horton Park on Friday. Valley were only able to muster a mediocre target of 102-9 on the number one ground, but bowled Marlborough Boys’ College out for 71 in the 18th over to win by 31 runs. On the number three wicket, Celtic bowled well to restrict Renwick to 107-9 from their 20

Renwick’s innings was based around 32 from 24 balls from No 6 Kirk Nicholas. The damage was done at the top of the order, predominantly by paceman Jaden Adams, who ended up with 3-18 from his four overs. Ben Holdaway also came to the party, snaring four lower order batsmen for 31 runs. Renwick picked up the scalp of former rep player Josh Poole with no runs on the board, but Greg Knowles (16 from 12) and Tom Sutherland added 40 runs, then Sutherland combined with Jerrym Lamb to take Celtic comfortably to their target. Sutherland ended with an unbeaten 52 from 43 balls, while Lamb was also not out, having scored 37 from 26. Akhil Bhardwaj, Gaudin and Eden Pettigrew picked up a wicket apiece.

A well-paced 40 off 47 balls from opener Greg Stretch, plus 25 from Sam Boyce, helped Valley limp to their total of 102. The MBC attack was spearheaded by Joel Pannell, who picked up 3-25, Josh Alexander, 2-23, and spinner Tim Petrie who bagged 2-15 from four. MBC lost a couple of early wickets but at 48-3 in the 12th over, the game was in the balance. However, the loss of four wickets for just 11 runs left them struggling against a steady Valley attack, all of whom picked up at least one wicket. Pick of the crop was seamer Sam Boyce with 4-14 from 3.5 overs. Top scorers for MBC were Hunter Ruffell and Tom Leonard, who both amassed 13. Sunday’s scheduled rep match between Marlborough and Buller for the Scanlon/Stretch Challenge Trophy in Westport was cancelled due to an inclement weather forecast.

Saints produce batting blitz PETER JONES

Marlborough’s Saints softballers continued their reemergence on the top of the south scene with a successful and convincing performance at Lansdowne Park on Saturday. Up against Nelson-based side Titans, in a double-header, the local side prevailed 16-6 and 12-2, both matches ended by the mercy rule in the fourth inning. Youngster Willem Hayton pitched the first encounter, with Jaymie Blake catching. In the second match veteran Marshall Rawiri came onto the mound with Anaru Anderson shifting from the outfield to catcher. The results were similar, the Titans’ batters producing the occasional hit but unable to

string enough together for a game-changing inning. In contrast, Saints made hay in the third inning of each clash, seven runners crossing home plate in each as the local batters began to either find holes in the outfield or drive the ball low and hard through the infield. Several inside-the-park home runs were scored, notably two by Anderson in the second game. Hayton also rounded the bases on the back of a hefty hit during the first match, showing he is a handy batter as well as an accomplished hurler. Braden Healy, Campbell Gill, Callum Hayton, Sam Kenny, Drew Roberts and Tyler Bird showed their prowess with the bat, while Gill, Hayton, Bird and Roberts displayed slick skills in the infield.

25 Mako men contracted A swathe of Tasman Mako representatives have been included among the 12 squads named for the inaugural Super Rugby Pacific season, which will include five teams from both New Zealand and Australia, plus new entrants Moana Pasifika and the Fijian Drua. The 25 Tasman players involved are: Anton Segner, Finlay Christie and Mark Telea (Blues); Atu Moli and Alex Nankivell (Chiefs); Tyrel Lomax (Hurricanes); Quinten Strange, Ethan Blackadder, Sione Havili Talitui, David Havili, Sevu Reece, Will Jordan and Leicester Fainga’anuku (Crusaders); Andrew Makalio, Max Hicks, Hugh Renton, Shannon Frizell, Mitch Hunt and Fetuli Paea (Highlanders); Sam Moli, Isi Tu’ungafasi, Willie Havili, Levi Aumua and Timoci Tavatavanawai (Moana Pasifika); Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta (Fijian Drua). New players on the Super Rugby radar are Max Hicks, Sam Moli, Anton Segner, Willie Havili, Timoci Tavatavanawai and Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta who is with the Fijian Drua.

TUESDAY 30 November 2021

Boom sport comes to Boomtown PETER JONES

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Marlburians have been quick to have a shot at what has been described as “the largest urban team sport in the world”. That sport is 3x3 basketball and the venue is Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000. A “three to four-year plan” has this week come to fruition for Stadium management who combined with Marlborough Basketball to facilitate the construction of three 3x3 courts on the eastern end of the stadium. Stadium 2000 general manager Bridget Taylor is excited by the latest addition to the multi-purpose facility’s range of sporting options. “It is a popular game wherever space is at a premium … a real asset for us and the community,”

she said. “3x3 caters for all age groups and fitness levels.” Stadium trustees Pete Baker, Roy Devanny and Simon Halliday were the driving forces behind the new courts, with help from a Lion Foundation grant and the assistance of the Marlborough District Council. The rapidly-growing sport [pronounced 3 ex 3] is a variation of basketball, played three-a-side, with one backboard and in a half court set-up. Floodlights have been installed, allowing for evening play, while a “ball wall” has been added, where footballing skills can be put to the test. The 3x3 courts have already proved popular with local enthusiasts and were officially opened on Tuesday afternoon with a series of games. Marlborough Basketball are cur-

Marlborough’s 3x3 courts were a hive of activity as action began last week. Photo: Peter Jones. rently running four sessions for 3x3 players – Tuesday afternoons are designed for Year 5&6 and Year 7&8 competitors to show

their skills with college grade and senior players catered for on Wednesdays. The games are open to anyone

with a $5 entry fee. Players will be rotated by the organisers around different combinations.

Premier tennis leaders consolidate position PETER JONES Marlborough Forrest Wines continued their rise up the premier tennis ladder with a 5-1 victory over Renwick on Wednesday evening. Despite the one-sided scoreline this was a close encounter marked by a couple of pivotal matches. Marlborough’s Amber Lyons battled to a 6-0, 3-6, 10-7 victory over Mieko Kimura to give the victors a precious point in the singles, while Hamish Morrow and Chris Nott came out on top of a 6-1, 3-6, 12-10 thriller against Renwick’s Joseph Sandford-Jury and

Darin Herd to bag another point. Morrow scored a 6-1, 6-1 win over Sandford-Jury in the top men’s singles, with Herd beating Nott 6-2, 6-3 to even the ledger. Stephen Dempster scored a 6-4, 6-2 win over Renwick’s Stu Campbell then teamed with Lyons to claim a vital mixed doubles victory over Campbell and Kimura. In the other division one tie, Rapaura Wairau River Blanc came out on top in their derby clash with Rapaura Wairau River Noir at the country venue, prevailing 4-2. Most of the games were clear cut,

although the top men’s singles was a tight affair, Cameron Lyons claiming victory over Ant Walkenhorst for the second consecutive week, this time on grass. The scoreline was 3-6, 6-2, 10-5. Three singles wins set up Blanc’s overall victory, Clyde Sowman beating Hugh Robinson by default, Jared Bell downing Ella Sowman and Eveline Apthorp getting the better of Lilly Walkenhorst. Robinson and Lyons picked up a consolation win in the men’s double, beating Ant Walkenhorst and Bell 6-1, 6-1. Only one match was played in

the division two competition, Renwick defaulting to Rapaura Wairau River Rose. In the other tie, Marlborough Nga Hau Wha defeated Marlborough Next Gen 5-1. The Nga Hau Wha team of Koos Richter, Josh Joseph, Ivan Fedoryshchev and Ben Preece played well across the board to dominate proceedings, with Lauren Fisher’s singles win the bright spot for Next Gen.
