2020 NEWS IN REVIEW PHOTOS OF THE YEAR CAMPGROUNDS CHOCKA YOUR PERFECT WEEKEND
Stressing safety on the water Charles Anderson Nelson’s harbourmaster is hoping a year without major incidents will carry on despite the likelihood of a slew of new boaties being on the water with new toys. “There is a concern that there are people buying brand new boats who have never been on the water before,” Andrew Hogg says. “They don’t know what to expect or what is required.” Andrew has been in the job for a year, after taking over from his longtime predecessor Dave Duncan. However, so far it has been an uneventful position. But he is fine with that. “There hasn’t been any serious incidents this year which is what everyone wishes for.”
Andrew, who came into the role after a distinguished career in the Navy, puts that down to new bylaws that came into effect at the end of last year. These include more stringency around speed limits and the compulsory wearing of life jackets on boats smaller than 6m. “There is also a lot more presence on the water with Amanda Kerr, the deputy harbourmaster, out there talking to people,” Andrew says. “People in general understand safety a bit more.” However, now is the time when the waters get busy. “It’s certainly ramped up with a lot more people out. We just have to make sure that they haven’t forgotten about that safety during the winter.” For those who are new to the
hobby, however, that can be difficult. “We definitely expect new people. A lot of boat shops have run out of everything because people can’t travel and are looking for other ways to relax and spend their money.” Andrew says it’s just the way it is that you are allowed to go and buy a boat despite never having been on the water before. The rules and the message are the same for all water goers this summer, he says. “We would like them to be considerate of others. To wear your life jacket. Have two forms of communication on board and know the weather. It’s still changeable. The wind always comes up in the afternoons. Expect it and prepare for it.”

Staff Reporter NBS has thrown its support behind Brook Waimārama Sanctuary Trust as a new gold sponsor. This new sponsorship represents a commitment by NBS to a key community asset, focused on conservation and the environment. NBS’s commercial and marketing manager Howie Timms says they applaud what the trust has created thus far, particularly the construction of the perimeter fence and impact it has made to flora and fauna within its boundary. “We want to be a true partner assisting in their continued aspirations, particularly around getting more locals to visit and enjoy this amazing
piece of land so close to Nelson.” Trust chief executive Ru Collin says the relationship will assist it in protecting the largest predator-fenced sanctuary in the South Island and the second largest in New Zealand. “We are committed to restoring an ecosystem and the trust is planning for species reintroductions to begin in the coming 1224 months, bringing back threatened and endangered species that once inhabited the Brook Waimārama environs.” From 26 December through to 3 January the sanctuary is open every day 9am to 5pm. From 5 January until the end of February it will be closed on Mondays.

Campgrounds in for chocka holidays Locally Owned and Operated
Erin Bradnock Domestic bookings for Nelson campgrounds are close to double for some local campgrounds but it’s still not enough to fill the gap left by international travellers. When Cable Bay Holiday Park general manager Jo Hunter compared the November numbers from 2019 to 2020, she found that the 2020 numbers of Kiwis staying in the park doubled that of 2019. The 600 domestic bookings for November 2020 match the 600 international bookings they had in 2019. “The Kiwi numbers were double, but it didn’t make up for the bookings we would have had otherwise. I think it will be the tail end of summer that will affect us more once the busy Christmas period dies down,” says Jo. General manager at Tahuna Beach Kiwi Holiday Park and Motel, David Pattinson, is also concerned about the latter
summer months following the rush of Christmas and New Year's. “I think, once the schools go back, we won't have the domestic tourists to compensate,” he says.
“Although lockdown was six weeks, the impact of Covid has cast a long shadow for us.” Sue and Colin Peterson are two of these domestic tourists visiting Nelson for four days from Hokitika. “This is our third time at Tahuna. We love it here, it’s great for the kids,” says Sue. David says bookings for the Christmas period are strong. “We’re a little concerned about
February, March and April, but you really don’t know what’s going to happen,” he says. David says they’re hopeful they should be ‘on par’ following summer thanks to higher bookings over winter but overall, he summarises this year as ‘challenging’. “Covid has impacted us all in a number of ways. Although lockdown was six weeks, the impact of Covid has cast a long shadow for us.” General manager at Maitai Valley Motor Camp, George Waite, says he’s seeing a lot more families with new motor homes at their campground and that they’re generally booking longer stays. “Our family area we will be full until the 6th,” he says. George says their campground rarely reaches past one third of their capacity and that this year they’re seeing fewer guests. “Even for Bay Dreams we’ve only got 132 people booked where you can fit 400,” he says.

What made news in 2020 Locally Owned and Operated
2020 has been another eventful year in the Nelson Weekly newsroom. Here are a few snippets of the stories that made headlines.
COVID-19: The coronavirus pandemic was undoubtedly the biggest news event in 2020, with New Zealand going into Level 4 lockdown on March 25 for almost five weeks. We covered everything from testing, schooling from home, sport cancellations, how businesses fared while keeping locals informed with what essential services were running. We interviewed the people on the front line and celebrated our Covid heroes – the posties, pharmacists, bus drivers, policemen, supermarket workers and nurses. The Nelson Marlborough region recorded 49 cases of Covid-19. GENERAL ELECTION: This year, Nelson welcomed a new MP for the first time in 30 years. Labour's Rachel Boyack won the Nelson seat, ousting long-time MP Nick Smith. Rachel received 18,625 votes to Nick’s 15,048. Rachel is also the first woman to be elected as the region’s MP. The 2020 general election was previously scheduled for September 19 but was delayed until October 17 due to the re-emergence of Covid-19 in the community. TRANSPORT: Nelson’s transport woes once again dominated headlines this year. We ran a series called ‘Focus on Nelson’s Future Access’ with Waka Kotahi NZTA presenting three long-term options to
improve travel in Nelson that went out for public feedback over June and July. The options included widening Rocks Rd, building a new inland route along the Southern Link corridor and adding priority lanes to both Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd/ Rutherford St. Over 1,800 people provided feedback which will help NZTA decide on the next steps. HOUSING IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Many Nelsonians struggled to find a home this
year, with both house prices and rents skyrocketing and supply dwindling. We spoke to a young couple who were struggling to get into their first home and a young mum who lived in a motel for five months while applying for nearly 70 rental properties. Applications to the public housing waitlist in the West Coast Tasman region have grown by more than 200 since the beginning of the year and we spoke to a family who have been on that list for two years.
MENTAL HEALTH: This year The Public Service Association requested an independent investigation into the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board’s workplace practises after a mental health worker died in a suspected suicide from what a colleague alleges was the culmination of extreme job stress. This led to WorkSafe NZ issuing its own notice against the DHB saying it needed to change the way it dealt with stress in the workplace.

Mike and Mel and their M&M craze Holiday message
from Nelson Police
Kate Russell Reporter
Kate Russell
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
It started with one M&M and then Mike Nicholls got carried away. About three years ago Mike’s wife Melody brought home a prize she won at a golf tournament. It was an M&M playing golf – meaning a collectible plastic version of a multi-coloured buttonshaped chocolate that originated in the United States in 1941 and which are now sold in more than 100 countries around the world. Something in Mike’s head sparked. When he was younger, he went on a 4WD trip around the country and one day driving they came across another M&M toy sitting in the middle of the road. Then he thought about the first letter of he and his wife’s name and thought there might be a fun new hobby afoot. “I started wondering how many more are out there. I’ve found a few now.” More than a few. His garage at his Monaco home is a chocolate candy shrine. There are specially-built

There are M&M's driving cars, M&M's playing basketball, playing in bands, there are key rings, t-shirts, hats and bath scrubbers. “Pretty much everything,” Mike says. “I keep telling him he has enough now,” says Mel. Mike isn’t sure. He is still a bit
annoyed about how he lost out on the TradeMe auction for some new additions the other week. Every road trip he does he still sniffs out a garage sale and the secondhand stores to see what he can find. Mike doesn’t know how much he has spent but is always on the hunt for a bargain.

He does know that he has 280 different M&M's, but there are some double-ups meaning the true total is closer to 500. And how do Mike and Mel, the original M&M's, feel about the original chocolate treat? “We aren’t that keen really,” says Mel. “We don’t really like chocolate.”
Police are reminding Nelsonians to slow down on the roads and drink responsibly this holiday season. Senior Sergeant and prevention manager for Nelson Police, Hamish Chapman, says their main message to drivers is to “take your time”. “You’re better to take five minutes longer and arrive there safely. Plan your journey, rest up before a long trip and make sure you’re in a fit state to drive - so no drugs or alcohol.” He also reminds motorists to respect the new 80kmh speed limit between Nelson and Blenheim. “We’re taking an education approach at the moment but it’s there for a reason.” Hamish also stresses the importance to drink responsibly this Christmas and New Year’s. “If you’re out and about and see a friend who’s had too much to drink, do the responsible thing and provide some support. Don’t leave drinks unattended or accept a drink from a stranger.” He says that Christmas is a tight time of the year financially for some families, which can lead to family harm and he urges people to seek help if they are struggling with stress or mental health. “Don’t be scared to dial the helplines and get support. If you’re are concerned about something you hear, please give us a ring.” He also urges people to lock their vehicles and keep their properties secure. “If you’re going away, connect with your neighbours and ask them to keep an eye on your property. “It’s been a very unusual year and we want everyone to get through Christmas and New Year's and enjoy themselves and look forward to hopefully a more positive 2021.”
Are you affected by painful and unsightly varicose veins? Would you love to wear shorts this summer?
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy uses specialised ultrasound equipment to guide injections of sclerosant to close the vein permanently. This procedure is virtually painless, so requires no anaesthesia. Endovenous Laser Ablation Endovenous Laser Ablation is the gold standard varicose vein treatment. It requires no general anaesthesia or hospital stay. You walk in and walk out and can even drive home afterwards.

Rescue Helicopters prepare for a busy summer season Locally Owned and Operated
Erin Bradnock The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter is reflecting on a busy year and gearing up for a busy summer as Kiwis flock to the region. While the team may have flown 462 missions this year, experienced pilot Tim DouglasClifford says there’s “no crystal ball” when it comes to predicting the summer seasons. However, he says as more New Zealanders are being encouraged to explore their own backyard, more people are likely to get in trouble in the outdoors. “We’ve got four national parks in our area, so we expect a busy summer,” says Tim. “It’s a no shame, no blame, policy for beacons.” Tim, who has been a helicopter pilot for over 20 years, says that owning and carrying a locator beacon is a lifesaving decision. “If you injure yourself, don’t try and walk it off into the night. Tim has seen a lot of changes over his career, including new night vision goggles that came

and seeing what I’ve missed.” Newcomer crewman and California native Jeff Hughes
joined the team 10 months ago with more than 20 years of experience as a paramedic.
“It’s going to be a busy season, I’ve heard from the others here that summer gets busy and to expect back-to-back calls,” he says. While the rescue helicopter team says there's a ‘no questions asked’ approach if you find yourself stuck and needing help in the outdoors, they stress being prepared is the best way to avoid needing their services at all. Carrying beacons, emergency blankets and something bright are key pieces of equipment that rescue helicopters highly encourage those exploring the outdoors, experienced or not. The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust sells beacons with a portion of the money donated back to the work of rescue helicopters. Rescue helicopters rely on community funding for 40 per cent of their operations, the rest being government-funded. “They’re brilliant, a lot of lives have been saved because of them,” says general manager Paula Muddle.

Saying goodbye to Victory after 26 years Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
It was 1994 when Wendy Taylor first walked into Victory Primary School. Now, 26 years later, she is reluctantly saying goodbye. “I’m sure I could carry on doing it, it’s been a very fun place to work. The children are just magic, there’s no downside to this place.” Wendy, 65, has been teaching for 44 years altogether, beginning her career in Dunedin as a special education teacher. “I also had a year-long teaching exchange in England before shifting to Nelson.” She says the school was “very different” back in 1994. “The classes were huge. I think there were 30 juniors in my class.” She says many of the buildings have changed, too. “There used to be the Rose Cottage, where the administration block now stands. They burned it down in 1995 - I remember the fire engine came and did a training exercise and the whole school sat around and watched.” It also wasn’t as rich in different cultures, like it is now. “We had a few Vietnamese and Cambodian children, but no refugees - so that’s changed our dynamic hugely. It’s made the school a richer, vibrant and more exciting place as we have so many different nationalities.” One thing that hasn’t changed, she says, is the dedication of the staff. “Everybody is here for the good
of the children. We motivate each other. We have to work really hard, but we have lots of fun along the way.” She says some of her standout memories include ‘mock battles’ on the field, school camps, cultural diversity day and winning the NZ Community of the Year award in 2010. “It made other people realise just how special this place is.” Wendy has taught generations of families at the school. “I’ve taught parents of some of the children that are here now. Out in the community, people will stop me and say I was their teacher. It’s very special.” Her two sons are now teachers in Nelson, which she is “very proud” of. “They are married to teachers and their parents are teachers. It’s a very teacher-dominated family.” Wendy says it was her sister’s death a couple of years ago that made her consider retirement. “You just don’t know what’s around the corner. I want to develop some other interests while I’ve got the energy. “I also see the young teachers coming through with their enthusiasm and passion, so it’s creating a space for them.” Learning the ukulele, gardening, walking, and spending time with her grandchildren are all on the agenda. To mark her contribution to the school, a special farewell assembly took place earlier this month. “I’ve been very lucky to work here, it’s filled my bucket.”

She says has worked hard this year, slotting in study around playing netball. “Netball is a passion.” Keri has already had a lot of success in netball. As a year nine at Garin College, she filled in for the senior A team and from year ten was part of the A team.

for the under 17 Te Waipounamu Māori Netball Team. She said being Māori captain at Garin this year was very special, but definitely outside her comfort zone. “I hated public speaking, so it was a big challenge and hard at the beginning of the year,” she said. Her experience with public speaking will come in handy if she realises her dream working in the prosecution area of law. Keri will begin her law degree at the University of Canterbury next year. She is also studying a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in sociology, geography and Te Reo Māori. She will have a busy year as she is also hoping to be selected for a good canterbury netball team. While she dreams of playing netball at a high level, she also wants to have fun while she plays.
Confidence in the region jumped 12 points over the December quarter, according to the Westpac Regional Confidence Survey. Regional confidence in the Top of the South is now the second highest in the country, with a net 21 per cent of respondents expecting the region’s economy to improve over the year ahead. “The jump in sentiment likely to have been underpinned by the
strength of key regional industries, including agriculture, horticulture, viticulture and forestry. The region’s housing market is also surging, particularly in terms of sales,” says Westpac senior agri economist Nathan Penny. “We anticipate that this surge will continue into 2021 and give a further boost to regional economic confidence in the new year,” says Nathan. The survey was conducted over the period 1-12 December 2020.

What is your perfect Nelson weekend? Tayla Anderson, 26, personal trainer My perfect Nelson weekend would begin by heading to the Sprig and Fern in Tahuna on Friday night for drinks with friends. On Saturday morning I would go over to Kaiteriteri for a mountainbike before getting a chicken and avocado burger at the Fat Tui. That afternoon I would be back to
Nelson for a bit of sunbathing at Tahuna Beach then off to Harrys for dinner, and their ‘bang bang cauliflower.’ Sunday morning, I would head up Barnicoat for a walk then to CLM Health and Fitness for a train. After that I would spend Sunday afternoon at home with the family in Stoke. We would have a barbecue, sit in the sun listening to music and talk about the week.

Enjoy your toys and presents this summer and stay safely away from power lines Many people may have bought or been given drones, model aircraft or kites for Christmas. They’re great fun when used safely but if you aren’t familiar with the rules of flying the potential for things to go wrong increases. Carol Hollyman is proud her granddaughter Briar Hollyman has inherited her love of baking.
Grand dishes: more than just a recipe Staff Reporter When a recipe is passed down through generations it becomes much more than a list of ingredients and a cooking method. It begins to tell a story and evoke memories and a sense of home. When talking about her mother’s shortbread recipe, it is the memories that come back as clear as day for Carol Hollyman. She recalls growing up on a farm in Rai Valley, how her mother always had a tin of shortbread in the house in case an unexpected guest were to turn up, whether it be a stock
agent, insurance agent or even a car salesman. The biscuits were always baked using a Shacklock 501 coal range or a Rayburn, a tradition that Carol still continues. “I find it much easier to control the temperature in the Rayburn compared to an electric oven, so I still much prefer to bake using the fire.” The recipe has now been passed down to Carol’s 13-year-old granddaughter Briar, who regularly bakes the sweet treat. Carol says her mother would be “so proud” to know that her recipe was being used by her great granddaughter. Briar says it feels “very special” to be able to continue to use
the recipe and hopes to one day pass it to her grandchildren along with the memories and stories she creates from the using the recipe. 1/2 lb butter 3/4 cup Castor Sugar 1/2 cup Cornflour 2 cups Flour Cream butter and sugar well, add flour and cornflour. (Don't add all flour at once see if you need the whole 2 cups) Sprinkle flour on the workbench then knead well Roll out fairly thick cut into shapes and place on a cold greased tray Prick with fork & bake for 35 mins or until it just starts to brown.
Flying drones, model aircraft and kites close to power lines can quickly ruin the fun and put people and property at risk. We want everyone to enjoy their unmanned aircraft this summer and we also want everyone to be safe, especially when around electricity. Flying your drone or model aircraft too close to power lines or equipment can cause a flashover - an abnormal electrical discharge that can start a fire. Flying too close to power lines or associated equipment can also affect your craft’s signal. Model aircraft, kites or drones touching power lines or equipment can cause an explosion, a fire or electrocution. Remember, judging distance from the ground or via an onboard camera is difficult and it does not provide an accurate measurement. Please fly your drone, model aircraft or kite in places where there are no overhead lines and other electrical assets.

Nelson heads off to the races Nelson’s biggest showcase of racing gets underway early next year with thousands of punters set to test their luck at the track. The Nelson Harness Races Summer Festival attracts over 6000 people to the course over the two-day event. The January 8 festival will see 10 to 12 harness races each day with the marquee event the Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Cup. Cantabrian Blair Orange took out coveted race last year driving mare Kendra which pipped RocknRoll Rod by .3 seconds in a thriller. RocknRoll Rod held a comfortable lead for majority, but Kendra's superb run-in transit saw the favourite storm home in 3 minutes 44.2 seconds to win the $14000 purse. President Kristie Hill says there will be a host of local talent on show including Murray Pash and Robert and Sue Stuart. As well as returning champion Orange, a strong contingent of Christchurch drivers are set to roll into town. “We are well supported by trainers, owners and drivers from all over the South Island, they like to use this as their summer
The Nelson Summer Races is always popular among local punters. Photo: File. holiday, they love coming up here.” Sunday will see the Magic Mile Day with all 10 races over just one mile. “Entries close the week of the race, I think it’s important people support these community events, we want to show them what racing is about.”
There will also be a smorgasbord of entertainment for the wee ones with bouncy castles, face painting, go karting, threelegged races, a tug of war and a sack race. “We will have our usual great line up as well as Fashion in the Field on Sunday. Run by Morrison Square, Kristie
says those who come dressed in their finest will be in to win some fabulous prizes. “We really like to promote as a family orientated event. This is the first-year council has said no BYO for the event, which we are managing, but we do encourage everyone to come.”

Old Boys top cricket table
Jonty Dine
The final round of the Tasman Premier League saw defending champions Athletic College Old Boys go top of the table. Thomas Zhorab made a ton which guided his side to a resounding nine wicket win over Wakatu. Batting first, Wakatu was dismissed for 196, Ben Smith leading the charge with 52. However, ACOB made easy work of the total, reaching 202 in the 35th over for the loss of just one wicket. The visiting Marlborough Falcons
notched a five-wicket win over Stoke Nayland at Marsden Rec, handing last years runners up a second consecutive loss. Stoke Nayland batted first against the Falcons, amassing 181 from 47 of the 50 overs available. The visitors wasted no time in chasing down their moderate target, losing just five wickets on their way to 182 in the 30th over. At the Brightwater Domain, Wanderers-Motueka dismissed the Dolphins for just 104 in 31.2 overs and ran down the score in 37.1 overs, for the loss of five wickets.

Big season of beach volleyball ahead Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Some of the best beach volleyballers in the county will be in town early next year for the Nelson Super Slam. The 2020 edition of the Super Slam was the first time since the eighties a major beach tournament had come to Nelson. Nelson Bays Volleyball development officer Josh Ovsenek says the return of the event illustrates the growth of the game in the region. “The fact that it's back for a second year is great, it is one of five major series events with players vying for Olympic berths.” Part of the national beach pro tour, the weekend will run on
13
January 9-10. Among the local talent will be Nelson College for Girls stars Tiana Chaney and Olivia Smith, as well as Alice Ziemann who has been training with a national programme in Auckland. As well as the pros, Nelson Bays Volleyball is establishing a social league for locals. Josh says the new initiative is about inclusion. “We haven’t really had anything running through January before, so we thought let’s give a crack at running some beach for everybody to play, we are hoping it takes off.” Josh says they are encouraging all ages and skill levels to play. “We are catering for all, volleyball in this region is a real family setting so we hope to see families down here playing.”
The competition will kick off on January 6 and run on Wednesday nights for six weeks. “Anytime you can be outside in the sun is fantastic and we are so close to the water, you can come down, have a game and a swim.” NBV has also recently been granted funding to provide further shade for players and spectators. “We want to make it more user friendly.” Returning to his role as development officer after a seven-year break, Josh says player numbers In Nelson are continuing to grow.

Nelson sport in 2020 Locally Owned and Operated
Despite the disruption of Covid-19, Nelson managed to produce plenty of memorable sporting moments in 2020. Reporter Jonty Dine takes a look back at some of the highlights. Mako go back-to-back Just 13 years after its inception, the Tasman Mako are the back-to-back kings of New Zealand provincial rugby. The Mako claimed its second consecutive Premiership title after defeating Auckland at Eden Park 1312 on November 28. Skipper David Havili sealed the victory with a late penalty goal as the side returned home to a hero’s welcome the next morning.
four seasons in the league, with finishes of 8th, 6th, 7th and 5th, the club was one of two to be cut from the competition. During its four seasons, Tasman United went through four coaches, Richard Anderson, Davor Tavich, Andy Hedge, and Jess Ibrom. Tasman also saw 79 players appear in the jersey, from as far afield as Europe and America. Waimea and Marist’s rivalry resumes The Nelson club rugby scene produced some thrilling action this year, none more so than when Waimea and Marist went to war. In an epic final worthy of the stunning rivalry that has become Marist vs Waimea in recent seasons, the green machine prevailed 34-32. The defending champions staged a thrilling second half comeback, after Marist raced out to a 23-6 half time lead, to almost snatch it at the death. Waimea kicker Campbell Parata had nailed five out of five shots at goal as he lined up a penalty from halfway with time up on the clock and the scores at 34-32. However, the young sharpshooter saw his attempt fall just fall short, as did Waimea’s gallant effort.
Griffins win Chapple The coveted Chapple Cup now holds pride of place in the Nelson Griffin's trophy cabinet for the first time since 1999. Nelson saw off Taranaki, Manawatū, Marlborough, Horowhenua-Kāpiti, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui and Wairarapa to win its first title in 21 years. The Griffins met 2019 champions Hawke's Bay in the final at Donnelly Park in Levin on November 22. Batting first, the Griffins scored 205 in 38 overs, Josh Clarkson top scoring with 74 off 60. The Bay slumped to 174 all out to hand Nelson the historic victory. Tasman United folds The Top of the South will no longer have a side in the National Football League with Tasman United dumped from New Zealand’s premier domestic competition in July. After
FC win Price Charity FC Nelson capped its season in stellar style, pipping the division one
champions to win the Price Charity Cup on October 3. FC defeated the highly-favored Blenheim Rangers 3-1 in an entertaining encounter at Guppy Park. Zhorab heroics claim TPL ACOB claimed its first TPL club cricket competition title in a very tight slug fest with Stoke Nayland in a scintillating encounter at Saxton Oval on February 23. Stoke Nayland, who were looking for a three-peat, produced a solid all-round effort in the field to restrict ACOB to just 190. The run chase began well until Thomas Zohrab took centre stage. He bowled in four spells to completely dominate proceedings with 5/19. As Zohrab begun the final over, seven were required for victory. He claimed another couple of victims and ACOB finally iced a three-run victory. College claim quad The Nelson College 1st XV backed up its 2019 win with victory in the historic Quadrangular Tournament at the start of October. Nelson defeated Christ's College in a topsy-turvy encounter in which the hosts ran in five tries to four to defend its crown. Down 15-14 at halftime, Nelson rallied in the second to shutout the Christchurch side and farewell its year 13s in ideal fashion.
