Big bucks for cycle trail Emily Beaumont Reporter

emily@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman’s Great Taste Trail has received $300,000 from the Maintaining Great Rides (MGR) fund, the maximum allocated to a trail in a round of funding. “It’s such great news. We were kind of expecting it, but it’s so good to get confirmation,” says trail manager Josh Aldridge. The MGR is a government initiative to provide funding assistance to Great Ride organisations to maintain and enhance the quality of Great Rides that are part of the New Zealand Cycle Trail. The financial boost leaves the season on a positive note after the trail took a battering from

summer cyclones, Fehi and Gita. “We’d like to use some of the money toward making the trail more resilient so it doesn’t suffer damage like it has in recent weather events,” says Josh. Around 25% of the money will be used to reimburse the cost of initial repairs from the cyclone damage while the remainder will be spent over the next 12 months to reinstate the trail to its former glory and improve the resilience of the trail by rock protection and planting, realigning the trails and upgrading boardwalks. Trail users are asked to please exercise patience and respect over the next six months as work gets underway in time for summer’s anticipated completion.

With most apple picking having been finished at the end of April, this year’s season has not been without its setbacks. But despite all this, according to Gary Jones, business development manager for Apples and Pears NZ, “the season is going really well.” The Nelson Tasman region holds about 25% of New Zealand’s apple crops and crop estimates in the region are for 154,000 tonnes of fruit, which is 14.4% up on last year and export estimates are 102,000 tonnes, 13% up on last year.

Gala being the largest volume of apple varieties for export. Gary says, “the market is looking very strong in Europe and Asia, due to the catastrophic frost in the UK last year there is now a complete shortage of apples, so overall the markets are solid. There are some good varieties and good quality fruit going into the markets. This is the third year in a row that New Zealand is one of the world’s most competitive performers.” Nelson joined Hawkes Bay in experiencing a worrying shortage of fruit pickers for this year’s picking season, but Julian Raine, Wai-West Horticul-

ture Ltd, is optimistic, “it’s definitely been a different season, it has had its fair share of challenges. Not often in Nelson do you have to wear your raincoat to pick apples, and we have had a shortage of staff which has created its own challenges within itself this year. But the total output volume is certainly up to expectation.” Gary says that the worker shortage will be addressed, with plans for a survey across the New Zealand apple industry, where they are looking to identify where there is a current labour shortage and how many extra workers we are we needing.

Tasman on track for sun honours The wider Nelson Tasman area is in the box seat to retain its sun crown a third of the way through 2018, but Marlborough is right on its heels, just two hours behind. NIWA’s recently released cli-

mate summary shows the wider Nelson region has recorded 898 sun hours from January 1 to April 30. That is an average of 7.48 hours of sun per day. In third is Hawke’s Bay with Canterbury in fourth.

The annual Roar season is upon us and police have been responding to reports of spotlighting activity around the province as they continue their ‘Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere’ approach. To date their team has dealt with 83 unlawful hunters, which has resulted in the issue of fines up to $5000 and confiscation of hunting gear for several offenders. Police are hopeful this will act as a deterrent. Hunters are urged to ensure they’re allowed where they find the animal and to check that the firing zone is safe

TDC annual residents survey An annual survey of Tasman resident’s satisfaction with their council has begun. The survey allows people to have a say on which council decisions

they approve or disapprove of. The council is urging anyone who is contacted to take part, to use the opportunity to provide feedback – the results help shape the future of the council’s services and facilities. For the first time this year, the survey will include face to face as well as phone interviews with 400 residents. They will be contacting residents until May 15. Results of the survey will be made public, but individual survey respondents details are confidential.

Temporary chlorination of Richmond water supply To keep your drinking water safe, the TDC is temporarily chlorinating the Richmond water supply as a precaution. Regular testing has shown a very low level of bacteria in two reser-

ginning

voirs in the supply, and the safest option is to turn on chlorine while an investigation is carried out. Your drinking water is safe. It’s likely the chlorine will remain in the system for the rest of this week.

Murchison Community Patrol say thanks Senior Police Constable, Peter Carmody, would like to say thank you to the public for being very supportive of the extra police presence in the Murchison and St Arnaud district especially along SH6/6563 and south onto SH7. Government funding since the Kaikoura 2016 earthquake has allowed for two extra police officers to be stationed in Murchison permanently. The extra funding has also benefited roading projects, some of them being major.

Sundial Square to host New plantation forestry rules The Greatest Showman It’s rumoured to become one of the cult classics from our era and it’s screening for free during a circus-themed evening of family fun on Saturday, 12 May, in Richmond’s Sundial Square. “The Greatest Showman” is a movie that celebrates life, our uniqueness, and the birth of show business, telling of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. The movie is the centrepiece of Take Two, a free community event organised by the Tasman District Council and Richmond Unlimited, held from 4.30pm-7.30pm with the movie screening at 6pm. Tasman District Council Community Partnerships Officer Lani Evans says Take Two would bring all the fun of the circus to central Richmond, with performances including acrobatics, stilt walkers, jugglers and a magic show – as well as workshops for people to try out some of the skills on display. Richmond food outlets will be operating during the evening. “It’s going to be a huge amount of fun and we’re very excited to be able to screen The Greatest Showman. Take Two is a collaboration between the Council

late 2017 was a great success, and Take Two aimed to build on that. “Bring your deckchair and rug up for a night of magic under the stars.” Richmond Unlimited Events and Marketing Coordinator Charlotte Bidlake says, “We are so thrilled to have this remarkably popular movie with such wide

Circus is such a fun theme too and will provide warm fuzzies for all ages. “It’s a great opportunity to maximise the potential of Sundial Square and the new Queen St layout - the seamless footpath lends itself so well to festivals and events,” says Charlotte.

Nelson Matters livered. The issue of access to GPs affects every family. We never know when anyone of us or our children will get sick. The costs of delay can end up costing the Government much more. National in government reduced the costs of going to the doctor as the economy recovered. We delivered free visits for under 5s in 2011. We promised to extend the free visits to under 13s from 1 July 2015 and did so. Last year in May, National promised to further extend the policy so as to reduce the cost to $18 for adults from 1 July 2018.

Labour’s Health spokesperson David Clark rushed out a promise only a week later to outbid National and make it only $8. This promise was explicit. Jacinda Ardern said “the cost of visiting the GP will be cut by $10 on 1 July 2018.” It was repeated thousands of times in advertisements. This policy reversal on doctor’s fees comes a month after announcing Labour will increase petrol taxes by up to 25 cents a litre on 1 July despite promising no new or increased taxes. Labour is also back pedalling on Police. In early 2017, the

There’s no doubt that Tasman is a great place to live, work and play, and with more and more people realising this the pressure on our infrastructure is one of five key issues outlined in a consultation document for the Tasman District Council’s Long Term Plan. “In the next ten years we’re predicting there will be nearly 4,500 more residents in Tasman, that means more homes, more businesses and more demands on our infrastructure. We have to manage this growth in a sustainable and timely manner including the environmental impacts,” says mayor Richard Kempthorne. Submissions for the Long Term Plan closed on April 5 with 489 received, Richard Kempthorne councillors have considered all of the submissions and will begin making final decisions on what to include in or exclude from, the Long Term Plan that will be adopted on June 28. The five key issues are; rates affordability and managing council’s debt, growth and infrastructure, development and financial contributions policy, drinking water supply and quality, funding Motueka’s water supply. “We have to balance aspirations of the community and the need to protect our precious natural environment and resources,” says Richard. “Your rates are not just a bill, they are your contribution to your community. An investment to help us build vibrant, connected and caring communities across the district.”

Upgrade completion date pushed back Most of Queen St is set to reopen by the end of the month as the Queen St Upgrade nears completion. A section on either side of the Wensley Rd intersection with Queen St, from the Boulevard Café and including the Tasman District Council office, will remain closed until about 18 June 2018 while the Wensley Rd/Queen St roundabout is reconstructed and final upgrade works are carried out.

Tasman District Council project manager Jeff Robinson says, while the council and contractor Downer had aimed to finish the entire upgrade by May 31, ongoing challenges working around old existing services, combined with some unfavourable weather, meant a small portion of the upgrade works would not meet this date. “We’ve advised Queen St businesses of the updated target completion dates. We

know it’s not the news they or the public want to hear and we’re very sorry for the extended disruption. Most of the street will be open from June, and we truly are in the home stretch now when it comes to the remaining work.” Every available construction crew has been working on the project and have been on the job most nights and Saturdays. “We’re at the limit of how many different teams

can work in the area without tripping the others up because of the limited space and access,” says Jeff. The Queen St Upgrade is a multi-million dollar project to reduce the risk of flooding to properties in Queen St, replace old and undersized water and stormwater pipes, and create a modern, pedestrian-friendly street environment. Retailers and shoppers can look forward to the final completion date of June 18.

then National Government announced 885 extra police that are now flowing into increased officers in Nelson. Labour said it was not enough and promised 1800 new frontline police over three years. This weekend on The Nation, new Minister Stuart Nash said there would now be only about 1,000. I was confronted by an angry Brightwater constituent at last Saturday’s market. She had been promised by Labour that they would change the accommodation supplement areas so she would get another $80 per week, but had just got a letter from La-

bour’s Housing Minister breaking the commitment. The problem here is that Labour way over promised and made extravagant promises they cannot now meet. Budget 2018 is shaping up as one of broken promises. The effect on Nelson will be fewer police and higher doctor’s costs than Labour promised. Nelsonians will be paying more to fuel up the family car. Labour is playing with fire. New Zealanders have historically punished Government’s harshly for breaking their word. Advt.

The Government made a terrible mistake last week in announcing that it would not be honouring its promise on doctor’s visit costs on 1 July 2018. It is bad news for families but it is also cancerous to trust in the electoral process. Politics became toxic in New Zealand in the 1980s over Labour selling public assets against its word and in the 1990s over National reversing its policy on the surtax. The last two Governments of Helen Clark and John Key were very careful about what they promised and ensuring they de-

New national rules for plantation forestry are now in effect, changing the way all regional and unitary councils - including the Tasman District Council - must deal with existing and new commercial forestry operations. The National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry (NESPF) came into effect on 1 May 2018 and over-ride the Council’s existing planning rules. The Council has met with large forestry operators over the past few months to discuss the changes and alert them to new requirements. Tasman District Council Environment and Planning Committee chairman, Tim King, says the NESPF applies to any plantation forest that is at least one hectare, has been planted for commercial purposes and will be harvested. “It defines which forestry activities are permitted and do not need resource consent and creates a nationallyconsistent framework of rules. While operators don’t need a consent to carry out permitted activities, they do need to advise the council in writing that they are undertaking them before starting and provide a management plan, if requested, for earthworks or harvesting.” Tim says the highly-erodible Separation Point granites within Tasman District have been included in “orange-zoned” land within the NESPF, which enables the Council to develop more stringent rules for forestry than the national regulations stipulate. “We’ll be considering that as part of a review of our land disturbance rules. We’ll be looking at what we allow and how we allow it on land at risk of erosion and instability, as well as reviewing whether it is appropriate to allow buildings in exposed areas at the bottom of Separation Point granite catchments.” Tim says the land disturbance rules review would be put out for public consultation, likely to take place later in 2018. Anyone carrying out a permitted plantation forestry activity in Tasman should check whether they are required to give written notice to the Council. Information is available at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/NESPF. Contact is only required if you are creating new forest or harvesting within the next six months. The Council will contact all known registered woodlot owners with further information about the requirements within the next few months.

The Wooden Spoon café owner has been nominated for the Richmond Stihl Shop $100 Good Sorts voucher by Bluebell Florists owner, Lisa Martin. “I nominated Nicky

because of all of the support that she gives. She has been amazing, sharing our businesses and posts on Facebook, and she is always really supportive of everyone, especially during the tough times with all the roadworks going on.” Local shop owners, Lea Lock and Diane Maisey echo Lisa’s statement, saying that Nicky does a lot for the community. Adding that she is good at being proactive and trying to promote Richmond. Diane says, “Nicky has been fantastic. She has a very ‘we are all in this together’ attitude and

is great with coming up with ideas on what we can all do together, as businesses.” Charlotte Bidlake from Richmond Unlimited says, “Nicky and her husband Craig are amazing, they both give up their time from owning a business and raising two young kids, to be on the Richmond Unlimited committee. She is a hard worker and gives up a lot of her time contributing to Richmond as a whole, not just for her own business.” Nicky was very humbled by the nomination, saying she was “blown away”.

Amy Russ Students from all over the Nelson/Tasman region gathered at the Theatre Royal on May 5 to showcase their musical talents, competing in the regional heats round, in a bid for one of the top spots, for this year’s SmokefreeRockquest. Now in its 30th year, the nationwide event has been the platform that has launched many of New Zealands biggest musical success stories, including Anika Moa, Opshop, Ladyhawke, The Black Seeds, Devilskin and Nelson’s very own duo, Broods, to name just a few. Twelve bands, and two solo/duo entrants were chosen after Saturday’s performance to go on the regional finals which will held on May 18 at the Theatre Royal. Eight Waimea College and Garin College bands secured a spot in the finals, and Brooklyn Scott from Garin College won first place Solo/Duo to go through to the next round. Acoustic Knot, from Waimea College, secured their place in the final with an outstanding acoustic performance by all three girls, Summah Simmons, Piper Harvey and Jewel Whimp. This is their third year competing. Band member Summah says, “we al-

ready have a song lined up for the finals.” Violin-playing Piper was super excited, but confident, to be performing. She says, “our music is a lot different to other bands. We are a lot more acoustic sounding whereas the other bands have a lot more drum and bass.” Normally a four-piece band, their fourth member Mikayla Wright has a pretty good excuse for not being there. She is away competing at the Torpedo7 Hillary Challenge Adventure Race. Along with Acoustic Knot, other bands that made it through to the finals are Verbatim, Blind Eye,

The Unreliables, Shut up Connor, Elysian, Odd Socks, Scarface and the Codfish, The Recliners, Equinox, Solasta and The Peoples Jury. SmokefreeRockquest founder and director Pete Rainey says, after 30 years of working with young people and schools, he and his partner Glenn Common are more than ever convinced of the role the arts and creativity play in education. “We’re thrilled to have created a history right across New Zealand with events that let kids show off their love of music – writing original songs and performing them

in a band or as solo-duos extends their skills and boosts their confidence,” he said. “For some it has led to national and international success, hundreds more have gone on to teach music, to work in the recording industry, in the media and in many other performance-related careers. Whatever they do, most of our alumni will tell you playing in SmokefreeRockquest remains the standout moment of their high school years.” Glenn Common says that while SmokefreeRockquest is a competition, the environment at the

heats is very supportive and the emphasis is on participation. At the Nelson final there are awards for the top three bands, the MAINZ musicianship Award, Smokefree Award for Womens Musicianship, Lowdown Best song, the APRA Lyrics Award, the Fatboy Style Award and the Peoples Choice voted by text. The top regional bands and solo/ duos submit footage for selection as finalists to play at the Smokefree Tangata Beats national final on September 21 in Auckland, followed by the SmokefreeRockquest national final on the 22nd.

Residents of St Arnaud enjoyed an excuse to catch up with one another on Sunday, April 29, during the annual Women Walk the World community event. The event is held to raise funds for the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) organisation that is dedicated to raising the health and standard of living for rural women and their families by connecting their communities worldwide through a network of members. “The money raised helps with so many wonderful projects all over the world,” says St Arnaud organiser Tracey Grose. The ACWW has completed projects in water and sanitation, health and education, income generation, education and capacity building, agricultural training and development, nutrition and home economics. Their projects benefit around 150,000 people every year and they play a significant part in reducing global hunger. The St Arnaud women are among nine million members across 70 countries enjoying the opportunity to contribute toward what they consider an important cause that results in a better standard of living for females everywhere. Sunday’s walkers split into two groups, both off on two-hour hikes. One group walked the village link track and the other conquered the steep track of Duck Down. “There were some great views. The rain cleared for a sunny afternoon, so it was really lovely,” says Tracey. The 16 walkers all came together at the end for a cuppa and baking at the Teetotal camping site. “It was a nice way to get everyone together and come together for some fun and healthy exercise.”

ONE DAY SALE FIELDAYS HAS COME TO TOWN

In a bid to encourage more residents to keep food waste out of the bin and put it to work growing great plants and food, May is Kickstart Compost Month. It’s for anybody wanting to start or get back into composting. Compost returns valuable nutrients to the soil to help maintain soil quality and fertility.

Because it’s such a mild, slow release and natural fertiliser, it won’t burn plants like chemical fertilisers. During May, the Tasman District Council (TDC) is increasing its subsidy from $20 to $30 for buying a compost bin, worm farm or a Bokashi bucket. The coupon, which can be downloaded from the TDC

website (search phrase: compost voucher) is available for all Tasman residents from participating retailers and for purchases in May only. So if you’ve been thinking about what to do with your food and garden waste but haven’t been sure where to start, here is your opportunity, and you may snag one of the free compost bins on offer.

They were the dark horse of the competition as one of the least expected teams to qualify, but that didn’t stop Wakefield bowling trio Margaret Eames, Linda Sisterson and Di Holland scooping second at the national play-offs in Browns Bay on Tuesday, April 24. Qualifying for the tournament after winning the Nelson Centre title and the Region Five play off, the Wakefield women won three out of their five games during the two-day tournament in the Auckland suburb. Getting off to a good start with a convincing 23-9 win against Tauranga, they continued their winning streak beating the top club from the Auckland region, Carlton Cornwall 21-16. The final match for the first day was Wakefield women’s triples team at the national finals, Di Holland, Linda Sisterson and Margaret Eames. Photo: Supplied.

Hockey season off to a great start It’s just the start of the 2018 NHA club field hockey season and in the Division 3 women competition Federal looked strong against Waimai United this past weekend. They have now won three of their last four games and that places them at the top of the points table. It was a good game and gave both teams something to build on for the rest of the season. The game started slowly with most of the play in the middle of the field. Federal finally broke through with a good victory, 5-0. Federal looks like a good skill level team but Waimai continued to keep their heads up and fight to the end of the game with good intensity.

Sailing into first place Tasman scoop medals in the pool The strength of Tasman Swim Club has been rewarded at the 2018 AON National Age Group Swimming Championships held on the North Shore in midApril, as four Tasman swimmers brought home medals. Tasman’s Sierra Thomas (14) topped the efforts with silver medals in the 800m and 400m freestyle events. Sierra also broke Swimming Nelson Marlborough (SNM) age group records in those events, as well as in the 400m medley. Piper Riley, 14-years, won silver in the 200m butterfly and bronze in the 100m butterfly events. Two 14-year boys had breakthrough performances at the national level. Alec Swan won bronze in the 1500m freestyle event, while Joshua Amyes won bronze in a very closely fought 100m freestyle final. Joshua also broke four SNM age group (14year) records in the 100m backstroke, 200m backstroke, 100m butterfly and 200m butterfly events. The backstroke records were held by Hayden Clement since 1995. Another highlight of the meet

Emily Beaumont In just a year the Waimea College Sailing team has risen through the national secondary school sailing ranks to come out first in the Silver fleet class at the championships from April 22 – April 27. The team’s co-captain Emma Charles says they were “really happy” on such an improvement after coming at the bottom of the fleet in 2017. Sailing on Algies Bay in Warkworth, the Waimea team of seven had to endure some slow days willing the wind to pick up. Amongst tough competition they enjoyed the windy conditions of the first and last day and were pleased to return home victorious in their class with trophy in hand. Emma says some of the team’s members are heading to Kerikeri where they’ll compete in the open national sailing event from June 2-4.

New section of street opens soon A fresh section of Queen Street is set to reopen, extending pedestrian access from Sundial Square to just shy of Pat's Plaza. All the underground infrastructure is in place in this area, along with the new flood-resilient street profile and pedestrian-friendly streetscaping. Vehicle access into this part of the street will remain limited as there is currently no exit point.

Here’s how it works: • Wider footpaths – our beautiful wide footpaths are for pedestrians to use and enjoy and should be obstaclefree for those in wheelchairs, with canes, pushing prams and so on. The footpaths are not for cycling or manoeuvring cars. • The buffer strip – this is the safety zone between the road and footpaths, between cars and people. Please no cars on the buffer strip. • Slower traffic speeds – the 30kmh speed limit and narrower road carriageway promote slow vehicle speeds and mean a safer environment for everyone. Cyclists travel in the traffic lane – the speed limit is slow and

enhanced planting for shade and asthetics.

• A smooth, continuous surface – there's no kerb and channel in the new streetscape. That makes crossing the street much easier for those with limited sight and mobility. Queen Street is a shared space, so pedestrians, cyclists and drivers all need to take care when travelling through the area. • Car parks – parking is available between the buffer strip and the road - mind the planter boxes!

Sea Perch, not big and not exactly pretty, but good eating.

More Tasty Bycatch Dominik Berghamer Last time we talked about eating bycatch, so here are some more options to get a feed out of a very slow day. Sea Perch: They don’t grow big and the head makes up most of the fish, but the fillets are great eating. As with tarakihi and mullet, the abdominal lining is black but it peels off easily. Spotties and other wrasses: Their hard scales, spikes, and slipperiness make them a pain to fillet, but if you are curious or want to honor your kid’s catch give it a try, the meat is very nice with a mild taste. Octopus: Ok, technically not a fish, and definitely not everybody’s cup of tea, but with a bit of knowledge, they make great eating, they are much sought after in most other parts of the world for a reason! First, how to kill them; make a large cut between the eyes and turn them inside out. You know you have hit the right spot when they turn white and go limp (well, sort of,

the tentacles have a fair bit of life on their own, even when cut off.) Remove the guts, put it on ice and take it home. Take a big pot, put in a tablespoon of olive oil and fry the octopus. It will leak enough water to cook it in it. Put a lid on it and let it boil for an hour or so. Let it cool, strip off the skin (but keep the suckers) and prepare it any way you like. I prefer marinating the pieces in lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and Italian herbs. Finally, a few fish I tend to stay away from: Red Cod: I know you can buy the fillets in the shop and that many people eat them but I’ve never had good luck when I kept one.Very skinny, riddled with worms and mushy meat, maybe other parts of the country produce better quality fish? Barracouta: Apparently they have really tasty meat and the South Africans (they call it snoek) love it but they are so full of worms here that I could never get myself to try one, I only use them as bait.

High flyers The Mike Pero Nelson Giants secured their second win of the New Zealand NBL season on Saturday, edging a spirited Southland Sharks side 103-100. Kyle Adnam put the Giants on the board with a layup, but it was the side from Southland making all the early play. The shots simply wouldn’t fall for the Giants as they did in their opening encounter. However, when Bronson Beri sunk the home side’s first three-pointer of the night, it signalled a turning of the tide for the Giants. Nelson found their fluency and took a 46-39 lead at half time, increasing their shooting percentage to 42. But the Southlanders refused to go away, clawing back in the third to be down by just one at three-quarter-time, 69-68. It was a tense final five minutes for the Giants faithful, the home side clinging on to a two-point advan-

tage with a minute on the clock. Giants coach Jamie Pearlman called a time out with 23 seconds left and the scores at 101-100. The hosts held their nerve to claim their second win of the season 103 -100. Finn Delany ended the match with 25 points and nine rebounds. He says it was great to back up the round one win. “It was tense, and they may have scored 100 points but I think we played really well defensively, we picked off a lot of rebounds and will take a lot of confidence into the game against the Rams.” Kyle Adnam was awarded man of the match, top scoring for the Giants with 32 points. The win takes the Giants to second on the NBL table, sitting two points behind the Hawke’s Bay Hawks with a game in hand. The Giants will return to the Trafalgar Centre on May 19 to face the Canterbury Rams.

Waimea Senior A 25 v Wanderers 3 Playing away to Wanderers and with 9 squad members unavailable for selection, this fixture always had the potential of being a very close encounter. The Waimea side put up a very defensive wall and played with patience and composure. Head coach Dion Mytton felt the team’s ability to build phases and pressure whilst being patient was a step up from previous weeks, and the squad as a whole is developing an attacking mindset that everyone is enjoying being part of. Man of the match for Waimea was young fullback Xavier Albert who had a strong running game in his first start of the season. Prop Ropati Maniati and No 8 Jeff Lepa had strong defensive games in the forwards whilst wing Mo Tau and midfielder Mike Stringer are both potent threats with the ball in hand and are consistently performing well for the team. Waimea are now top of the table and with players returning from injuries there will be ample competition in the squad to challenge for starting positions each week.

Waimea Senior B 31 v Riwaka 34 The Waimea division 2 team travelled away to Riwaka on Saturday. Waimea was off to a great start by setting up camp in the Riwaka 22 for the first 20mins but just couldn’t crack the defence, only for Riwaka to get an intercept and score. Waimea started the second half well, stringing together 18 phases to go from their own 22 to score in the corner at the other end. With Waimea down 34-14 with 12mins to go they found their feet and got into the style of rugby they have trained to play with great straight running lines from Pouvalu Blake (also man of the match) and Tana Veehala getting them the much-needed front foot ball, and the direction from halfback Tom Crosbie and first five Chris King came into play, marshalling the troops towards the try line. It was all just a little too late, with the Waimea boys just falling short 34-31. Prop Tom Williams also putting in a huge performance up front, backing up his man of the match performance the previous week.

Waimea Women 46 v Motueka High School 20 Waimea started the game with good patterns of play resulting in an early try to fullback Bethan Manners. Motueka lifted the pace with two unconverted tries and took the lead 10-7. Waimea got used to the pace of the game and started dominating again with Tessa Hillier running hard and at pace, making ground every time she got the ball.

Waimea U18 7 V Central RFC 57 Waimea again have fielded an under-18 side this season and credit must go to the club and coach Shayne Huhu. Waimea are the only club in the Nelson Bays area to have an U18 team and with numbers dwindling in the game at this level it is seen as vital for this team to continue. The players are committed and travelled to Blenheim for their first fixture of the season after only getting together as a side on the Thursday night.
