Family’s quarantine nightmare Isaac Vincent will soon turn 9 years old and has his heart set on his dad being there for his birthday.

Seafarer Josh Vincent is currently thousands of kilometres away on a ship in the Mediterranean.

And after struggling to secure

a spot in New Zealand’s overloaded Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) booking system, the dad of two is losing hope he will make his son’s special day in October.

The former Royal New Zealand Navy serviceman says the situation

LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED

is so bad he is considering giving up the career he loves.

“The government already recognises foreign seafarers but returning Kiwi seafarers are not.

The system does not recognise seafarers’ unique situation and makes it very hard to continue

employment.

“We are taxpayers and NZ citizens and yet we are forgotten.

Should we give up our jobs just because the government is unable to provide capacity in MIQ? “I’ve literally checked it [the MIQ booking system] thousands of

times. I can log in and put in my passport details and all I see are the next few months greyed out with crosses.

“There is just nothing available and it’s incredibly frustrating.”

Booking system overburdened FROM PAGE 1

100% locally owned and operated

The Blenheim dad, who is fully vaccinated, has spent 12 years working as a seafarer, spending three months at sea and three months at home.

He has completed two stints in MIQ in Auckland, including Christmas Day last year, making it home to his family on Boxing Day. But while he usually books his return trip before going offshore, this time it proved impossible.

His wife Natasha says the couple’s two children are missing their dad more as they get older.

“It’s horrible, a really horrible situation. We are used to him going away however not knowing if he will be able to get home is really stressful.”

“He’s missed out on birthdays; he’s missed out on Christmas.

There is just nothing available and it’s incredibly frustrating.”

— Josh Vincent, Seafarer We’re discussing him coming home to work because it’s so difficult getting back into the country.

“Isaac knows his dad was going to come back for his birthday but he understands that might not happen now.”

Josh says the government is not taking the predicament of seafarers and their families seriously.

“If you don’t have a great internet connection and free hours every day, you will never have

a snowballs chance in hell at getting an MIQ slot.

“The list has been empty for weeks now and looks to continue this trend with extra capacity now needed for returning travel bubble kiwis from Australia.”

Kaikōura MP Stuart Smith, who has been looking into Josh’s case, says that the government are unwilling to help.

“There are a whole lot of these cases and we are advocating on their behalf but unless you happen to be a Fijian person with Covid and have connections to the UN you won’t get in.

“They [the government] are not utilising the spaces that are available and the system that they have for booking is ripe for manipulation.

‘People like Josh are vital to driving the wheels of commerce and unfortunately are not

considered by the government to be worthy. We will keep advocating for them.”

Josh says he is desperate to get back home and is angry more isn’t being done to help.

If he must pay more money to secure a spot, then he happily would, he says.

“We all pay the $3100 so surely this money can be used to increase capacity?

“I and other seafarers I’ve spoken to would happily pay ahead of time. The government is not doing the right thing by us and in the longer term, not doing right by all of NZ - who will form the essential shipping industry once all seafarers return to landbased jobs because it’s too hard to operate in this environment?

“We are deeply frustrated and increasingly angry at being forgotten.”

Vaccine levels ramp up Paula Hulburt Editor

paula@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Almost 23,000 Marlborough residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

As of 27 July, 22,524 people have been inoculated, 13,672 have been given their first vaccination and 8,852 their second.

And soon some GP surgeries and pharmacies will start to offer vaccination by appointment as the roll-out increases to different age groups.

Nelson Marlborough Health Primary and Community general manager strategy Cathy O’Malley says workplace vaccinations will also be offered to bigger businesses.

“We have been able to stay ahead of our plan. For each week since 1 March, apart from one week, we have exceeded our weekly target. The supply has been adequate to enable this.

“The centres are well staffed and are running smoothly.

“We’ve been able to make improvements and iron out the bumps in how the centres work, as we’ve gradually increased vaccination under the national roll-out plan.”

Wednesday was the start of vaccination for Group 4 people aged 60-65.

Michael Kidd gets his first COVID-19 vaccination from Registered Nurse Wendy Tantrum as grandson, Jack, 2, watches on. Photo: Paula Hulburt.

Cathy says anyone in that age bracket can now book their appointment at a time and location that suits them best.

There are two vaccination centres in Marlborough, one on Henry Street in Blenheim and the other at Port Marlborough Pavilion in Picton.

Mobile outreach clinics, homebased vaccination, rest home vaccinations and kaupapa Māori vaccination clinics

for new residents are also underway.

Cathy is urging all people to help protect themselves and their community.

“There is more than enough vaccine supply, and enough capacity at our vaccination clinics to meet the demand from all eligible groups. We are ready for people and looking forward to starting to see more of our community protected against

COVID-19.

“Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect you and your whānau from COVID-19. The stronger our immunity, the greater our possibilities.”

At least 18 pharmacies and 4 GP clinics (medical centres) will come on board – their details will be available through the Book My Vaccine website, the HealthPoint website and Nelson Marlborough Health websites and the 0800

number as they join.

A new national booking systems means people can now make their own appointments, using the Book My Vaccine website, or by phoning the COVID Vaccination Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 (8am to 8pm, 7 days).

There are interpreters available on that phone line.

Anyone in Groups 1, 2, 3 and the first age band of Group 4 (60-65) can book now.

Talented director dies after long illness Renowned director Duncan Whiting has died after a long battle with illness.

A key figure with Blenheim Musical Theatre, Duncan has played a vital role in the community since he first started directing in 1969 with Oklahoma.

The senior netball team at Tua Marina School have scooped a set of new uniforms. Photo: Supplied.

Netball team net new kit Paula Hulburt Senior students at Tua Marina School can step onto the court with confidence this season after netting a new kit.

A record number of students have signed up for netball at the school this season, with younger players quickly snapping up all the uniforms.

With senior students missing out and making do with old T-shirts and mismatched shorts, school mum Tineka Jopson applied successfully for an ANZ Netball Grant.

“We told the kids that it doesn’t matter what you wear to play, but it’s the look good and feel good factor. We’re expecting great things once they get them.”

The new gear will lighten the

fundraising load and allow coaches, players, umpires and volunteers to focus on what’s happening on the court.

ANZ gives netball clubs and teams throughout Aotearoa a chance to apply for a grant to help them advance their training and put their best foot forward on game day.

Tineka applied for the grant on behalf of her daughter Jadey and her best friend Isla.

She says the girls had already started to plan to raise money for new uniforms themselves.

With a huge five teams this year for the small school, Tineka says all the uniforms were “nabbed” before the seniors got a look in.

Jadey and Isla’s Plan A was to fundraise with a sausage sizzle with some generous help from their local butcher.

But the reality of costs and time involved proved significant for the young duo, Tineka says.

Isla’s Mum Tash Ford, a premier player with Tokomaru Club, is coaching the goal shoot and goal attack duo this season.

“They’re on a winning streak and have just moved up a grade,” says Tineka.

“It’s really great to see them improve but it’s all about building on their skills and having fun.”

ANZ Head of Sponsorship Sue McGregor says its schools such as Tua Marina who help nurture a love of the game.

“We hope this grant helps keep the passion for netball alive in the community for many seasons to come.”

Bubble bursts but air show hopes high Matt Brown Reporter

matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A lack of Australian tourists hasn’t dampened air show organisers’ spirits.

The travel bubble with Australia burst when the delta Covid variant started to spiral out of control, prompting a Sydney-wide lockdown that spread to other Australian centres.

But Yealands Classic Fighters chairman Graham Orphan says while it is a shame that Aussie visitors will miss out, they had planned for it.

“The bursting of the bubble is a great shame but we’d set about running the Easter show with no Australian visitors and this will be no different, so we are geared for it.

“This country has come to depend on its own people travelling, enjoying and supporting home grown products and attractions just as we have seen elsewhere in Marlborough during the Covid era,” he says.

Classic Fighters is set to go ahead this September. Photo: Supplied.

Graham says they are confident the show will go on.

“This has been happening for long enough now for us to feel a level of confidence as long as there is not a Feb 27th style lock-down should a Deltavariant break-out occur in NZ in the next few weeks.”

He says the only aircraft attendance affected by the bubble bursting is the Royal Australian Air Force’s F18 Hornets, which were an impressive sight at the last Yealands Classic Fighters Airshow.

“However, we enjoy a fantastic

rapport with the team over there and they are itching to get back to Omaka whenever they can so we can expect to see them here in 2023.

“Something that gives us great heart is the fact that over the past 25 years, the Marlborough community has worked together to grow the number of heritage artefacts that we can call upon to entertain our visitors.

“This puts us in a good position to be able to present a comprehensive range of machines to the public, not just aircraft but also vintage

and classic motor vehicles, including historic machines from both world wars,” Graham says.

“So, we’re feeling pretty upbeat about the event and looking forward to welcoming everyone for a fun weekend of entertainment both aerial and on the ground.”

The Yealands Classic Fighters Airshow is on 3-5 September, coinciding with Father’s Day. Purchase tickets at www. classicfighters.co.nz/tickets and check out this month’s Marlborough Magazine to win a free family pass.

Who let the dogs in…town Staff Reporter Dogs are allowed back into Blenheim’s CBD as the new Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw 2021 comes into effect.

The bylaw came into effect on Sunday and follows a successful trial in 2019, coinciding with the Black Hawk National Dog Show, where leashed dogs were given free rein to roam the town.

Animal Control Subcommittee Chair Councillor Jamie Arbuckle says the Marlborough community is passionate about dogs and dog access to public places.

“The submissions received during the recent bylaw review reflect that and it’s fantastic that dogs will be allowed back into the CBD provided they are on-leash and under control at all times,” he says.

“It’s important for owners to note that dogs will still be prohibited in Seymour Square and that it’s their responsibility to clean up after their furry friends.”

The bylaw includes changes to how and where you can exercise your dog at the Taylor River, Pollard Park, Picton and Ward Beach, amongst others.

Jamie says the new bylaw aims to achieve a balance between the control of dogs and recognition of the community benefits of responsible dog ownership.

“Since the adoption of the new bylaw by Council on 10 June, Council staff have been working on new signage to reflect the changes, and have also been working with business owners to help them understand how the new bylaw applies to footpaths and public notes,” he says.

“It is up to each business owner to determine whether they allow dogs on their premises or not.”

Good results from educating people without support from other groups Dear Ed, The photos you all see from the East Coast Prohibition Group always show the bad side, probably about 1 per cent of where quads travel.

With the work RAWE has done, we now have got rid of almost all vehicles from the beach area in front of the camp and from most areas above high tide. Probably about 95 to 99 per cent now travel on the mid-tide area.

Imagine the success we could have achieved if other groups had given their support, and not tried to lock us out.

While over in Golden Bay, I read a sign supported by Tasman District Council and the Department of Conservation (DOC). It mentioned that walkers, horses, exercising dogs and motor bikes disturb birds, then it spoke about the best times to travel on the beach.

Firstly, it read that at high tide, birds are resting or roosting so stay away and don’t disturb them.

It went on to say that at low tide, the birds are feeding along the waters, and are active – that this is the best time to travel.

The thing it mentioned that

We are supposed to be living in a free country and have the right to go on a public beach.

Our east coast is a public beach, and we all have the same right to be on it.

Please go into the council or go online and fill in a submission so we can all share our public beach and not have it run by a group who want to control it.

If you want New Zealand beaches to stay public, act now.

Last year’s winning team from Astrolabe Wines – who will be the best pie match this year.

Pie pair challenge is back A world-famous-in-New Zealand pie pairing competition is back, and organisers are calling for wineries to take a piece of the action.

Entries for The Great Burleigh Pie Pairing Challenge have opened, and co-founder Belinda Jackson encourages wineries to get some pies and organise their staff to get down to the serious business of matching a Burleigh pie to their own wines.

This is the fifth time the challenge has been held, and the core part of the competition is the same: winery teams compete to find the best match between

a Burleigh pie and one of their wines. Up for grabs is a trophy and bragging rights for the year.

Belinda says all fees from the winery team entries go to charity - this year, they are going to the Marlborough Food Bank.

Entry forms are available at The Burleigh on New Renwick Road and completed forms are to be returned to The Burleigh.

Judging is to be held on August 18 – so all entries are to be received by 5pm on August 16 2021.

As the Burleigh Pie pair, Jane Dickenson and Rod Burdis,

say “every year brings an opportunity to see how our pies can match with some of the fantastic wine produced by teams around the district.“ “We love the unexpected and we love quality so we can’t wait to see what Marlborough people come up with.“ The Marlborough Weekly has teamed up with the Great Burleigh Pie Pairing Challenge again this year and will bring you the results when they come in.

New GP surgeries to help lighten patient load Patients scrambling to find a GP will soon have more options as two new surgeries open their doors.

Blenheim is set for two new practices, a general practice and another geared to help Māori and vulnerable residents with significant health needs.

The new surgery on Scott Street and the other on Howick Road look set to lighten the load among overloaded surgeries.

Both new practices will be able open to patients who are not yet registered with a GP in Marlborough.

Marlborough Primary Health Organisation chief executive Beth Tester says the move is welcome as it may help reduce some of the demand on primary care facilities.

“Urgent care has had its busiest June since it opened in 2017, though currently all practices are experiencing unprecedented demand also.

“People are relocating to Marlborough all the time and MPH enrolled numbers over the last year have risen by around 1000,” she says.

There are currently ten medical

Picton Medical Centre is taking on patients but only among residents moving into the town, Linkwater and Tuamarina.

George Street Medical is adding patients to their wait list, but the remainder have currently closed their books.

Urgent care supports GP

workload after hours and provides overflow capacity during the day if required.

Beth says the two new practices may help lessen the load.

“The two new practices will provide options for the community as to whom they may wish to enrol with and take some pressure off the primary care system as a whole.”

Manu Ora is set to open to the

public later this month and Blenheim Medical this week.

The Howick Road based clinic has been created by Te Piki Oranga and Nuku Health with support from Marlborough Primary Health Trust.

This new general practice aligns to He Korowai Oranga and Te Whare Tapa in a bid to help build higher levels of trust in the health system.

Premier rugby finalists decided Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Central and Renwick will play off to decide the 2021 Marlborough club rugby premier championship.

The Blues disposed of the combined Moutere/Awatere side 36-12 at Lansdowne Park on Saturday, earning a chance to clinch back-to-back premierships.

Meanwhile, at the Renwick Domain, the home side came out on top of a thrilling encounter with Waitohi, prevailing 32-30 to give the club a shot at their first Marlborough senior crown.

This was a see-sawing encounter with the Green Machine holding a slight edge throughout. They began strongly, first half tries to flanker Cody Weir, winger Sailasa Leqeti and centre Zac Harrison Jones allowing them to go into the halftime break leading 20-7.

Waitohi closed to 20-17 through a try to hooker Taimi Fangatua, plus a penalty and conversion to the ever-reliable Corey Bovey, but the home side edged away again through a try to first five Alex Barnsley.

Two more Bovey penalties reduced the margin to 25-23 before Renwick came up with the try of the match.

Some superb linking play between backs and forwards, coupled with clinical phase play created space on the left where Weir raced across for his second. Michael Dillon’s conversion provided a nine-point gap with time running

Photo: Peter Jones out and, although the gallant Tohis picked up a seven-pointer in the final moments, the day belonged to the Green Machine who thoroughly earned their date with destiny.

Weir, hooker Sione Lonitenisi, lock Jaydn Holdaway, Harrison Jones and midfielder Kyle Marfell were Renwick’s best while flanker Taine Cragg-Love, lock Dylan Burns, halfback Karlos Tautari and fullback Dan Monahagan stood out for Waitohi.

In the other semi, Central were made to battle early on but by halftime had forged a handy 24-7 advantage with two tries to the impressive Seta Baker, one to prop Peter Vakaloa and a penalty try.

Baker bagged another in the second half to claim a semi-final

hat-trick with winger Solomon Vecena bagging their sixth fivepointer. Ethan Jones landed two conversions.

Best of the Blues were first five Mitch Smith, Baker, lock Jack Powell and centre Jack Griffiths.

Ben Finau was at the heart of the combined side’s attack, scoring both their tries. Kaleb Avery and Tuala Tauasosi were the pick of the others.

Division two The Marlborough division two title will be fought out on Saturday between Central and Awatere.

The top-qualified Blues downed MBC Old Boys 24-10 at Lansdowne Park while Awatere dug deep away from home to get the better of Moutere 22-17 in an arm-wrestle at Awarua Park.

First XV The Marlborough Boys’ College First XV put up a strong showing against competition leaders St Bede’s College in Christchurch on Saturday but were eventually beaten 29-7.

MBC remain in eighth place on the competition table and have another away fixture next week, taking on Lincoln Combined in Christchurch to complete the round robin phase of the Miles Toyota competition.

Mako women The Tasman Mako women came up short in their Farah Palmer Cup championship clash against Taranaki in Inglewood early on Saturday afternoon, losing 34-12.

The first half was tight, the home side scoring three tries and the

Mako two, through Eve Findlay and outstanding loosie Sui Pauaraisa, to trail just 17-12 at the break.

However, the second 40 was one-way traffic, Taranaki dotting down three more tries while Tasman were unable to add to their halftime tally.

Next Sunday the Mako women play their first home game, against the Northland Kauri in Motueka.

Mako men On Friday the Tasman Mako men kept it simple during their final Bunnings NPC warmup match in Christchurch, defeating the Southland Stags 20-7 with a clinical display of forward power.

All four of the Mako unconverted tries were scored in the same fashion, through an unstoppable forward drive from a lineout close to the Stags’ line.

Tasman scored twice in the first spell to lead 10-0 at the break, then another soon after, before Southland came back with a converted try to narrow the gap to 15-7.

However, the Mako finished on top, a fourth hard-driving effort on the final hooter wrapping up a convincing victory. The Stags proved doughty opponents, giving Tasman just the sort of intensive workout they needed heading into their NPC campaign.

They open their bid for a “threepeat” against last season’s premiership semi-final opponent Bay of Plenty in Tauranga on Saturday. Kick-off is 2.05pm.

Gratitude after rower’s golden moment Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Gratitude was the overwhelming emotion for Marlborough oarsman Tom Murray as he and his Kiwi eight crewmates rowed their way to Olympic glory at Tokyo’s Sea Forest Waterway on Friday.

“Relief is normally the first emotion for me after a big race, crossing that line, but this time there was just bucket loads of gratitude,” said Tom soon after his race.

“We only get nine medals on the dais but there are so many others deserving of this gold medal.

“The team we have around us daily – physiologists, physios, massage therapists, strength and conditioning coaches, managers, nutritionists … the list is endless.

It is really humbling to be part of such a team.”

Tom also acknowledged the support from back home. “It comes in waves … especially with the messages of support. You just realise how big that support team is … old coaches, friends, family, the local media who help spread the stories to inspire younger generations. The group is absolutely massive and the support from such a small town is overwhelming.”

He said the medal ceremony was a moment of great national pride.

“To hear the national anthem and to watch the flag go up is not something you get to do often, so you just try to soak it all in. You almost feel you are watching from a distance … just intensely proud to be from New Zealand, Aotearoa. It makes you

think what it means to be a Kiwi when you stand there listening to an anthem that so many other inspirational athletes have stood on top of the dais and listened to.”

Tom said his supporters were never far from his thoughts.

“It was a bit different not having that ‘black hole’ among the stadium crowd. Being able to cross the line, wherever you finished, and looking into the stands to see the crew that follows us around so doggedly, the families and the friends.

“It was sad not to have them there, but we have received so many videos showing their support.

They are still a huge part of our journey even though they are not here with us. We are intensely proud to do it for our friends and family who have stuck beside us for so long, through so much.”

He also relished being part of a Kiwi eight that, after so many years, have shown they can foot it with the sport’s “big boys”.

“Ever since I got into the eight, back in 2013, I watched the Germans, the British and the Dutch just master that race and to be able to go out there and not just foot it, but to get one over them, is hard to put into words … there are a lot of emotions swirling around at the moment.

“It feels like we have really put our mark on [the eights] … there has been a lot of talk about the 50 years [since we last won the eights] and it will take a while to express what it means to be a part of that legacy.”

Last season Tom was part of the Kiwi pair, alongside Michael Brake. They picked up a world silver medal in the smaller craft,

Tom Murray, far left back row, and the gold-medal winning NZ eight. Photo: Artofrowing/World Rowing. but then, at Hamish Bond’s urging, decided to join the eight, which Tom was a part of at the Rio Olympics.

To say that move worked out well is an understatement.

“There was a sense of unfinished business [in the eight],” said Tom. “The history of the eight and the feeling of an eight when it’s going really well is special … so I guess, coming away with the gold, you can’t complain about our decision,” he added with a chuckle.

Despite having an Olympic gold medal in his pocket, Tom was unsure, immediately after the event, where it sat with him.

“I have often pictured this moment and definitely dreamt of crossing a line feeling like I was first. But when that finally happened I don’t know where my head was. I don’t know if I was just trying to breathe, or if I didn’t quite believe it. But that definitely wasn’t how I had dreamt of it happening.

“Our seven seat turned around and

said ‘where did we come, where did we come?’ … it’s not immediately apparent, especially when it’s that close, that you have won.

“It will take a lot of reflection to put a lot of these emotions into words.”

The NZ rowing team topped the medal table at the Games, prompting the question as to why a small country at the bottom of the Pacific could be so successful.

Tom put it down to two things – the support teams who had put their personal lives on hold to provide a framework for success, and “small town New Zealand”.

“And it’s not just in rowing,” he added. “We are constantly punching above our weight on the world stage.

“It starts at grassroots level … the fundraisers, the volunteers.

The people of Blenheim who have given so generously over the years to sports teams to try and get our young athletes around the country and around the world, to try and be a better version of

themselves. It’s unreal and not just in Blenheim, it happens all around the country.”

Asked about his chances of chasing a second gold in Paris in 2024 Tom was understandably non-committal.

“There has been a lot more talk of time off … to gather the thoughts, assess the body and spend some time in quarantine which I think will be quite good for me, just to process what has happened and understand where I am at.”

The rowers flew out of Japan on Sunday, Tom sorry to miss the chance of savoring more of the Japanese culture, which he “absolutely loved”.

“It is a shame to have to leave so quickly but on the other side of the coin I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to come here. I know not all the population of Japan have been behind the Olympics, but to those who have helped it go ahead so smoothly I have an unbelievable amount of gratitude.”

Women’s hockey reps manage ‘three-peat’ Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

The Marlborough senior women’s hockey team have maintained their firm grip on the Pope Shield.

Marlborough got their hands on the prestigious top-of-the-south trophy in both 2018 and 2019.

With there being no tournament last year because of COVID the Maroon and Whites were hunting a “three-peat” at Saxton Fields this year.

First up on Saturday, June 24, Marlborough beat West Coast 4-2. A hat-trick to Veronica Hardman set up the victory, while Sara Stocker converted the one penalty corner that came Marlborough’s way to complete a top team effort.

Coach Denise Lloyd described it as a “very physical game”, which they led all the way through.

“They were very competitive and gave us no space … it was just a matter of who took their chances best.”

Earlier, Nelson had drawn their match with West Coast 2-2, meaning that if Marlborough won or drew against Nelson the Shield would be theirs.

In the decider Marlborough quickly went out to a 2-0 lead, courtesy of two more goals from Hardman.

Nelson scored their first soon after the halftime break and then drew level with five minutes to play as

SportS Dressage honour: Marlborough dressage ace Melissa Galloway tasted more success at the weekend, her pride and joy Windermere J’Obei W being named Equestrian Sports NZ Horse of the Year at the national body’s awards evening.

Melissa was nominated for the Rider of the Year title.

Cricket changes: The Marlborough Cricket Association have a new president, former chairman Jon Cunliffe replacing Brian Fitzpatrick, who has handled the role since 2015, in the position. Two new life members were also inducted at the AGM. Denis Aberhart and Alastair Sowman were the latest to be presented with the honour for their long service to the game in this province.

“It was a good effort by the girls,” said Denise. “I’m pretty stoked with their commitment and determination. It wasn’t always pretty but it can’t always be pretty.

“We had four young ones in there [Samara Williams, Tilly SorensonBrown, Maddie and Millie Large] who stood up very well.”

The side benefitted from the goal-scoring efforts of Hardman, plus the tournament experience of Pip Lunn, goalie Grace Davies, Sylvie Heard and Yvonne Boyd.

The Marlborough women’s B team also competed strongly in the Gladstone Cup competition, beating West Coast 3-1, drawing 1-1 with Buller before losing 5-1 to a Nelson side containing a

strong core of Masters players.

Coach Grant McMillan was pleased with their efforts, described it as a “rebuilding year” and pinpointing defender Claudia Clark and midfielder Bailey McNair as stand-outs.

The Marlborough men’s team, vying for the Maadi Cup, produced a much-improved effort in what boiled down to a tight contest. They lost 2-1 to Nelson, beat Buller 5-2 then lost 3-2 to West Coast.

A slow start cost Marlborough in their first match on Friday, Nelson scoring twice in the first 15 minutes.

However, the visitors quickly regrouped, dragging one goal back but, despite their late dominance, could not find the equaliser.

The Buller game, played later that day, followed a similar pattern,

Marlborough going down 2-0 early on. However, five goals, including a brace to Ollie King, got the job done.

The West Coast clash was very evenly-contested, tied up 1-1 at halftime. Two well-executed penalty corner goals saw the Coasters take a 3-1 lead but, despite pulling one back, Marlborough couldn’t find a late strike to tie it up.

Marlborough keeper Taylor Kerr and midfielder King were named in the tournament team, while defender Alex Pearce, plus MBC players Gus Varney and Sam Hamilton stood up well.

The unbeaten West Coast side claimed the cup, their first triumph in a tournament involving all three top of the south rivals in 30 years.

Riding high: Three Marlborough riders totally dominated the podium at the recent South Island schools cyclocross championships in Christchurch. In the under-16 boys’ category Cam Anderson came first, Finn McKenzie second and Lachlan McNabb third.

There were contrasting fortunes for both Marlborough sides in their respective Nelson division one football competitions on Saturday.

While the scorelines were the same, the outcomes for the two Marlboroughbased clubs were very different.

Rangers AFC maintained their narrow lead at the top of the men’s standings, although the battle below them intensified.

The Blenheim-based side beat a game Motueka outfit 2-1 at A&P Park after scoring twice late in the match.

Motueka led 1-0 at halftime, scoring on the break after 25 minutes as the home side found their defensive system hard to break.

Although they created several good chances it took Rangers until the 80th minute to get on the board. A penalty given for handball was converted by Tore Waechter who then played a role in the winning goal.

Waechter, who had moved up front in a bid to exert more pressure on Motueka’s back three, crossed from the left finding Keagan Mortimer’s head. The striker nodded the ball home to put the home side in front for the first time and they held on until the final whistle sounded.

Bjorn Waechter was named Rangers’ player of the day after another top performance in midfield, while the back three of Aaron Hayes, Ryan Palmer and Harrison Pine excelled in the absence of skipper Jordy Columbus. Dylan Endersby ran himself into the ground while youngster Kane Elvy put in a solid 90-minute effort on the left wing.

The competition table is rapidly closing up. Rangers hold a twopoint lead over Richmond, who beat

FC Nelson on Saturday. That loss leaves FC Nelson third, three points adrift of the Blenheim side.

Meanwhile, women’s side BV Bullets may have lost 2-1 to Richmond Foxes at Jubilee Park on Saturday, but they pushed the top-of-the-table side all the way.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 12th minute, a cross from Riley Preece finding Lauren Sloan, who chipped it over the keeper.

Play see-sawed end-to-end until midway through the half when Foxes’ Paige Ferguson found her way around the side of BV keeper Maggie Lane to level the score.

Lane made a strong save just before the break, keeping the sides locked at 1-1.

The decisive goal came soon after the restart, Lara Tutty slotted it away.

After the home side bounced two shots off the post, and had another goal ruled out for offside, BV came back into the match, chasing an equalizer. However, although Sloan had a late chance, Bullets were unable to bag a second.

Player of the day was midfielder Tessa Hyland.

The local men’s competition has now been split into three divisions.

In division one, Call Care Trojans stamped an early mark with a 5-0 win over Rangers Development, while Central Buccaneers beat clubmates Central Wolves 3-0.

BV Masters drowned Central Privateers 3-0 to make a strong start in division two, where Call Care Hotspurs beat Rangers Clubs of Marlborough 2-1.

In division three, Picton defeated Redwood 5-1 while Call Care Spartans continued a fine day for the club with a 9-0 win over Rangers Masters, Blair Hantz scoring a hat-trick.
