Locals deliver for Bay Dreams It was hot, it was loud, and it was sweaty, but it was undeniably a success. The sold-out Bay Dreams festival brought 20,000 music lovers to Trafalgar Park on Friday and promoters say they are hoping to be back in 2020. With international acts such as Cardi B and Tash Sultana, along with Kiwi favourites Katchafire and Shapeshifter, the crowds were kept happy - although shade, water and sunscreen were all in hot demand as the mercury soared above 26 degrees. Bay Dreams is one of the most popular festivals of the Kiwi summer music
calendar, with the Mount Maunganui event selling out year after year. This is the first time it was held in the South Island. A pre-party and afterparty took place on either side of the main event and camping was provided at Rutherford Park and Saxton Field from 3 - 5 January. Festival director Toby Burrows hailed it as a "resounding success". "All the artists performed amazing sets and were all very happy. The event ran smoothly and the 20,000 strong crowd was incredibly well behaved. The venues worked perfectly and Nelson was a great host city. We definitely want to

Locals deliver for Bay Dreams FROM PAGE 1 return in 2020 with an even better event." Nelson Police say they were impressed with the overall behaviour of concertgoers, with only six arrests over the three-day period. The operation to support the festival included a total of 90 police staff dedicated to the venue and campgrounds with 15 of these staff travelling from Canterbury. Inspector Paul Borrell, Area Commander for Nelson Bays commended revellers for their "buoyant and jovial mood". "Police had planned well in advance to provide and encourage a safe environment. It was especially noticeable how concert goers seemed to be looking out for each other, reporting and supporting others who became unwell or distressed, which was fantastic," he says. Mayor Rachel Reese says Nelson de-
livered “superbly” and believes meticulous preparation was the key to the festival’s success. “Both the Trafalgar Centre and Trafalgar Park were outstanding venues and the festival director thought our facilities for hosting an event like this have been the best he has encountered anywhere in New Zealand. “Hosting 20,000 people in a population of 51,000 is no small feat.” Rachel says it would be “wonderful” to see Nelson become a major destination on the touring circuit. “We’re already seeing an increase in international acts coming our way, with both UB40 and Bryan Adams performing in the coming weeks and months.” Meanwhile, festival director Mitch Lowe says they made the right decision in choosing Nelson for the festival. “The city has so much to offer visitors outside of this event ... we’d like to thank Nelson for having us.”

$ Nelson has retained its title as the country’s sunniest region. Photo: File.
Sunshine crown is ours Charles Anderson The Nelson region has topped the country for sunshine hours – coming out with a whopping 2555 hours over the last year. According to the New Zealand Climate Summary, issued by Niwa yesterday, 2018 was the 2nd warmest year on record with an average temperature of 13.41°C. Four of the past six years have been among New Zealand’s warmest on record. The Nelson region experi-
enced the highest sunshine hours with 2555, followed by Bay of Plenty with 2518 hours and Marlborough with 2503 hours. Farewell Spit also had the highest mean temperatures since records began in the 1860s. However, the report also noted that 2018 began on a wet note for much of the North Island and upper South Island, although the lower South Island was quite dry in January. Ex-Tropical Cyclones Fehi and
Gita brought well above normal rainfall to much of New Zealand in February. During Gita on 20 February, 148.4 mm of rain was recorded in Motueka-Riwaka between 4am and 6pm, or 173 percent of their February normal rainfall in just 14 hours. The highest air temperature of the year was 38.7°C recorded at Alexandra, followed by 37.6°C at Clyde and 37.4°C at Middlemarch, all of which occurred on 30 January.

Residents frustrated over Bateup Road delay Matt McCrorie The widening of Bateup Road has continued over Christmas and into the new year. The contract was awarded to Higgins Construction who started in 2018, with project manager Graham Rimmer saying at the end of November that the council was really pleased with the progress that Higgins construction had been doing over the last nine months. Both the road and the footpaths
are being widened between Three Brothers Corner and the Wensley Road roundabout. This will include the creation of a new, shared pedestrian and cycle pathway. In November 2018, project manager Graham Rimmer said “We’ll be doing a Christmas shutdown on the 21 of December. We’ll be opening the road two ways, at the moment it’s a single way, and we’ll be reconvening back on January 7.” However, some community members have expressed frustration with
the Christmas shutdown. Several residents have commented that the road wasn’t fully opened over the Christmas break as stated, and that when the road was running two ways, was only open for a few days. Residents noted that turning right onto Bateup road from Wensley Road or St James Ave was impossible. The road is currently limited to one direction, running from Three Brothers Corner to Wensley Road. The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2019.
Police and fire services happy with the holidays The region’s emergency services managers are praising the mostly well-behaved people who descended into Nelson over the holiday period. Top of the South Road Policing Manager Inspector Dan Mattison says, overall, police saw courteous and considerate driving from most on the roads. “Obviously, Bay Dreams brought a huge influx of people to the region and I understand traffic was very busy, we appreciate the consideration that road users showed
each other.” Dan says police staff from Canterbury were brought to the region to assist with the Bay Dreams festival and the influx of visitors to Kaiteriteri. “This was a great opportunity to share ideas and learn some new ways to do things.” He says there was a lot of effort in the region to increase road safety including the change of speed limits on State Highway 60 between Maisey and McShane Rds. “This is one of our most high-risk areas in the region and we appreciate the patience of drivers sticking to the new speed limits.” Dan says drivers need to remain
A fire truck responds to a fire in Washington Valley this week. vigilant with the busy period on the roads still not over. Fire and Emergency senior station officer Rob Appleton says, apart from a housefire they attended on Montreal Rd early on
Monday morning, it’s been business as usual over the holiday period for the Nelson Fire Station. “There’s been a lot of the usual bonfires, grass fires, that kind of thing, and quite a few motor ac-
cidents. We’ve had a busy time definitely, but it’s been lots of regular types of calls such as smoke alarms and things like that.” Rob says, with the hot weather, everyone needs to remain cautious and get the correct fire permits. “I haven’t heard anyone talking about fireworks causing fires which is great, but we recommend people don’t use them at this time of year as it’s just too dry.” “All in all, we’ve seen some pretty sensible behaviour, people have been very good, I think they realise the way things can get out of hand pretty quickly.”

Summer sun brings families indoors to Aquatic Centre Matt McCrorie Summer is a busy time of the year for the Aquatic Centre, with lots of local families visiting the pool as well as out of towners. The Bay Dreams music festival has also brought a lot of visitors from out of town to the Aquatic Centre. Aquatic Centre Admin Coordinator Crystal Gaiger noted that people enjoy being able to supervise their kids out of the sun and not worry about burning.

Event exceeds expectations: Teaming up with a community craft day proved a real winner for Higgins Heritage Park last Sunday, with more people than usual at the park’s monthly “On Steam” summer Sundays. Park manager Allan Palmer said the turnout was “absolutely brilliant”. “I’ve never seen so many kids,” Palmer says. The craft fair drew in people who had not been to the park before and they were all impressed with what they saw, he says. The day also exceeded expectations for craft fair organisers. Spokeswoman Evie-Joy South said there was a steady stream of people from opening at 9am and they were still coming through the gate at 3pm when the event was due to close. As well as a wide range of craft stalls there was entertainment provided by local musicians Lawrence Harvey and Matt Werner. East to East: Local adventure racer Nathan Fa’avae features in a new documentary based on the trials of at-risk teenagers competing in the famed Coast to Coast competition. The film is coming to the Suter Theatre on January 14, 29 and February 3. Monitored closely by a team of dedicated elite athletes, teachers and coaches, a group of young people push themselves physically and mentally to meet their goal of completing the Coast To Coast. Oooops: On our January 2 issue front page pic we stated that the location was Berryfields when in fact it was Berrylands in Appleby Straight. Still doesn’t change the fact they have the best dang berry thick shakes in the world!
The Aquatic Centre has a lot of fun, family-friendly, summer events coming up, including Summer Sundays. During January and February, each Sunday from 11-1 the Aquatic Centre will be running a family fun day, with activities for kids of each age, with no extra charge. A holiday programme is also run by the Aquatic Centre, with summer activities including berry picking, swimming, and day trips to Able Tasman, Takaka and Kaiteriteri.

Drug driving petition launched after son killed The family of a man who was killed by a drug-driver in Appleby have launched a petition to allow road-side drug testing on drivers suspected to be under the influence. Karen and Peter Dow along with their son Angus, Nelson MP Nick Smith and retired Nelson Bays Highway Patrol Sergeant Terry Richards, launched the petition on the one-year anniversary of their son Matthew’s death. Matthew was driving from Kaiteriteri to Tahunanui on New Year’s Eve when the then 27-yearold Alicia Fulcher-Poole swerved into the wrong lane, colliding with his vehicle, killing him. Nick Smith that New Year’s Eve should be a time of celebration and hope. “But for the Dow family it is the day their son was robbed of his life from a reckless meth user driving like a maniac.” Nick says Matthew’s death was one of seven fatalities in our district last year where methamphetamine or cannabis were identified as a cause or contributing factor. “Nationally there were 79 deaths from drug drivers, exceeding
Karen and Peter Dow, whose son Matthew was killed by a drug-driver one year ago, with son Angus, have launched a petition with the support of MP Nick Smith. Photo: Sara Hollyman. for the first time the 70 killed by drink drivers.” However, in the same year, there were 152 convictions for drugdriving compared with 16,000 convictions for drunk-driving. Nick says he was disappointed that National’s bill to introduce random road-side saliva testing was opposed by Labour, NZ First and the Greens in October. “They do not have a hope of achieving their zero road death target unless they change their position on drug testing. The petition is about building
momentum reform.” Matthew’s mother Karen says they don’t want anyone to go through what they’ve gone through. “If we can get the correct legislation and education to get this epidemic under control and hopefully save lives, really that’s what we want to do. “It’s too late [for us], we can’t do anything, we can’t bring Matthew
back. But I don’t want his death to be in vain and I don’t want another mother to have to go through ... to hear those words that I heard from the police, and wondering why.” Karen says she knew early on that they wanted to bring about change and this was the best way they could think of. Nick says the crash was described
by road safety police as one of the “most horrific” accidents they’d seen in decades. “I cannot pretend to understand the level of grief in losing a son, 23 years of age, and when I look at the data, I think the case is compelling.” Nick says, with the Government making moves to liberalise access to drugs, it is more important than ever to give police the tools to deal with drug driving in the same way they would drink driving. The introduction of road-side drug testing would involve taking a saliva sample from drivers that appear to be affected by drugs and waiting 3-5 minutes for the results. “I’m unconvinced by the argument that it would be too much of an inconvenience for drivers to be tested on the road,” he says. “First of all, I have confidence that police would only use it when they believe there is a need for it,” says Nick. He says the small inconvenience that innocent drivers would experience would be more than compensated by the improved safety of all other road users.

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.

Richmond’s annual market day was back for another year on Friday, December 28. The market day saw a large portion of Queen Street closed and filled with stalls by local business’ and vendors. Charlotte Bidlake of Richmond Unlimited, the organisers of the event, says that 2018 was their
“biggest year stallholder wise.” As well as local businesses and food vendors, there were entertainment zones for the kids at the library and at Sundial Square. GK events hire supplied umbrelas for the event, providing shade on a hot day. Charlotte says that the new Queen Street layout without the curb helped the event, and
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. Know what to do to keep yourselves, your friends and your family safe. Teach the children around you to play safely with drones, model aircraft and kites. Here’s what you need to do to help you stay safe:

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.
z
Always fly your aircraft in an area free of power lines and associated equipment
z
Keep your aircraft within your line of sight at all times
z
Fly drones and model craft in clear, calm weather when it is easier to see them and keep them under control
z
Only fly your aircraft during daylight hours
z
If your aircraft becomes entangled in power lines or electrical equipment, or flies into a substation, phone us on 0800 508 100. We will safely retrieve it for you. The team who work on and around our lines are trained to enter these facilities safely and are on call to help.

TEDDY BEARS PICNIC AT ISEL PARK: If you went down to the woods on Sunday you were sure to see hundreds of children with their fluffy friends. The Teddy Bear's Picnic at Isel Park saw hundreds turning up for the annual event. There was no shortage of entertainment with Animal Park offering personal encounters with sheep and goats, face painting and music for the kids to get up and boogie to. St John were also offering their services to any teddy's with injuries, encouraging a large queue to wait to have their cuddly side-kicks checked over. The Nelson City Council run event is a free part of the Summer Events calendar. Pictured above is Bebe, 8, and Cotter, 10, who were waiting to get their cuddly friends patched up by St John.

NZ SUPERSTOCK GP
SPEEDWAY The blue ribbon class in New Zealand speedway is about to hit town and there is a real buzz about the place with the upcoming Westmeats New Zealand Superstock Grand Prix to be contested at the Milestone Homes Top of the South speedway. The Nelson track has had a proud history when it comes to Superstock racing and
this weekend will see the best of the best battle it out for the coveted NZGP trophy. The club expects around 50-60 entries for this, their biggest event for its 2018/19 calendar and it’s going to be a hectic night of bumper to bumper racing. Originally this meeting was scheduled to be contested over two nights of racing,
with qualifying on the first night, then the finals on the second but due to the ongoing dealings with two of our neighbours, and running out of time with the council to give us a consent to run two days, the tough decision was made to run the entire meeting over one night. This is great news for our fans however as they now get two
shows for the price of one. What’s our loss is your gain! There are a number of drivers who could take out this title with cars here from Palmerston North, Stratford, Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Rotorua, and Wellington and of course our old foes from Christchurch. Local hopes however would

Unique island property is back on the market Nelson’s iconic Pepin Island (pictured) is up for sale for the first time in 22 years. The island was purchased in 1996 by German industrialist Viola von Hohenzollern for $2 million and was inherited by her daughter when she passed away in 2012. The island, which is now back on the market for $16 million, is accessed by a causeway through Cable Bay. It is described as one of
the most “unique property in New Zealand, if not the world”. With 1280 acres (521 hectares), it boasts a seven-bedroom farm house with three cottages near-by, a wool shed, multi-bay sheds, store-rooms and shelters across the island. Three eco-chalets offer unique accommodation for the island’s guests. The working farm runs around 1900 sheep and 100 cattle.

Paymark head of e-commerce, digital experience and marketing, Darren Hopper, says the December figures show an interesting trend in the payments’ landscape. “We saw widespread discounting which appears to have accelerated the trend towards lower average transaction value.” Darren says there is a growing use of scheme credit

57 years as Santa When Jim Pascoe emerged from Isel House dressed as Santa at the Isel Park Twilight Market on a late December night, he had barely taken a dozen steps before swarms of kids came barrelling up to him. Fortunately, he knows the drill Santa is a role Jim has played for more than five decades. It started when he was just 18-years-old. A department store in Whangarei needed a Santa and he says he “didn’t have to be dared twice” before accepting the role. Although the suit needed plenty of padding to fill it out, his enthusiasm made up for it. “They reckon I was the best Santa they ever had.” And so began a 57-year tradition. These days the suit doesn’t need to be filled up with pillows and the beard isn’t fake, but Jim says he still gets plenty of pleasure out of playing the role. “I just love and enjoy making happiness for families. If I can make one child’s day I’ve done something.” Most of Jim’s years as Santa have been in Whangarei but the last couple of Christmases have been here in Nelson. He says the big crowds don’t worry him too
“

much but there are a couple of tricks of the trade. “I always ask what the lolly situation is, if they don’t have lollies, I won’t do it – for my own safety’s sake.” He says asking kids what they want for Christmas can also be a delicate situation. “You have to be so careful. If I say ‘tell Santa what you’d like?’ and the wee fella says ‘I’d like a new bike’, I’ve got one eye on the parent all the time. If the parents says ‘no’ and I say ‘yes’ you’re in trouble. So, it’s not as simple as people think.” While new technology is making the choice for Christmas presents abundant, Jim says the requests are still quite traditional. “This year it really surprises me because the boys want trucks, Lego, slime, trains, and the girls want unicorns, princesses, fairies, mermaids, and they both want Harry Potter and board games.” He says he has plenty of great stories from over the years. One was

Photo: Andrew Board. when a lady with six kids visited one year. “She was all worn out and the kids were scratchy but after a few minutes with us they were all happy and she bounced out of there. It was really nice to see such a turnaround.” The second wasn’t as heartwarming.
“One Christmas I came across five teenage girls and I said ‘ho ho ho what would you like for Christmas’. One of these girls looked at me and the tears started to drip out of her eyes and she said ‘Santa, could you please put my mum and dad back to together, just for Christmas’. Well, Santa had to turn around and have a
wee moment.” Jim says he’ll continue to play Santa for as long as his health holds up and this year was joined at the Isel Park Twilight Market by his wife Molly, who played Mrs Claus. Jim hopes they’ll both be back next year – and so do the children of our region.
Oxford Street Motels, Winners! Sara Hollyman

The results are in and the winners of Light Up Nelson have been decided. The Christmas lights competition had nine displays entered, however many more homes were still decked out for the festive season but chose not to enter the competition. Louis and Kristina Hornell from Oxford Court Motels in Richmond began putting their display up in November. They say the joy it spreads makes it all worthwhile and for their efforts they have been crowned Best House Display and People’s Choice Award. For each they received a $100 Mitre 10 voucher. Louis says they will be looking at building a new shed to store all the decorations in and will definitely be participating next year. He estimates more than
6000 people came through their backyard to check out their display, with a 5m-tall blow-up Santa being the most popular item. Two lucky winners also took home $50 Mitre 10 vouchers for great houses which were in Allport Place and Cropp Place. Ben Henry was the lucky winner who won a $100 Mitre 10 voucher just for voting. Organiser Nick Lanigan says, overall, it was a really awesome year. “We’ve had some people light up for the first time this year and overall it’s been fantastic.” The event was sponsored by Nelson App and Mitre 10 Mega. Winners of all categories were: Best House – display: Oxford St. Best house – Synchronised: Tory St. Peoples Choice: Oxford St.

Members of the Nelson Lakes Gliding Club have been enjoying the flying conditions in recent weeks. Instructor Frank Saxton said the view he had of Mt Patriarch, in the Richmond Range, while flying over the Wangapeka River Valley last month made the cloud look like a volcano. “In December, the sun is closest to the Earth so has the maximum heating potential but the air is typically cooler than later in the summer, and this combination is ideal for the development of thermals.” After launching from the Lake Station

Airstrip Frank flew along the St Arnaud range to Mount Una and turned east following a good convergence to Shingle Peak, which sits above the Awatere Valley opposite Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku, more commonly known as “Tappy”. There was another convergence running up the Rainbow Valley on to Mt Travers, Mount Cupola, Mount Angelus and on over the Howard Valley to meet the sea breeze generated by the afternoon northerly wind coming off Tasman Bay. Saxton said the volcano effect was created when dry rising air mixes with a sea breeze, forming a distinctive cloud.
Recycling of soft plastic put on hold Nelsonians have been left with sackfuls of soft-plastics with nowhere to go - except the landfill. The Love NZ Soft Plastic Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme was temporarily suspended on 31 December, with organisers citing over-supply and the need for an upgraded facility. The recycling bins at all Nelson supermarkets have gone, but there are plans to resume a sustainable service in April. The recycling bins were introduced in 2017 so shoppers could take back their used soft plastic, such as bread and frozen food bags, to supermarkets to be recycled. The material being put in the bins in supermarkets had been going to a company in Australia, to be turned into things like park benches, bollards and playground equipment. But organisers say they are collecting more soft plastic than they can currently process and a suspension to the service will give them time to work with existing processing partners to build capacity, as well as find new processing solutions. Nelson Environment Centre manager Anton Drazevic says it a shame for Nelson, as many people had got into good habits of recycling their soft plastics. He discourages people from ‘stock-piling’ for fears of overwhelming the service if it resumes. “There is no easy answer - I wish I had all the answers for this.” Anton says, while it has been an amazing service to the community, there has been a silver lining to it stopping. “I loved the fact that it was so popular here, but it’s made people aware of how much waste

Squance’s gamble pays off Peter Gibbs Local knowledge paid big dividends for Hayden Squance as he outwitted the field and slipped home for his first win of the season in the Port Nelson swims from the Nelson Yacht Club on Thursday. A field of 114 chose the long course of 1200m, heading 450m south into a frisky tide before a turn to the west took them through a rougher passage to the 'dolphin' navigation marker, then back to an offshore buoy near the finish line. As usual, the lead group stayed close together, getting the advantage of each other’s draft, but Squance took a chance with a line close to the shore where the current can often be far less. It was a longer route, but the advantage became clear as Squance reached the first mark with a 10m buffer. The lead group spread into single file as the pace went on in pursuit, but to no avail. The leader held his nerve and

Photo: Melinda Baigent. his position to finish in 14 minutes 9 seconds, a margin of 12 seconds over Bendi Kepess in one of the biggest winning margins in a season of tight finishes. Series leader Luke Kelly (14.28) narrowly took third place ahead of Alex Swan
(14.29), Fergus Drummond (14.54), Oxford Bayley (15.14) and Ben Marshall (15.30). Abbey Smale (15.35) was next to finish, taking her fourth women's victory from the last five swims to lead the women's points table. One second
behind was the ultra-consistent Sophie Alexander in her fourth runner-up spot in the eight races so far. In each of the other races she has finished third. In age group competition, F30-39 leader Ruth Thomas suffered her first loss of the season, going down to top Christchurch triathlete Julia Grant. Ben Marshall (M3039), Christina Harris (F50-59), Hamish Neill (M50-59) and Janis Crampton (F60-69) continued their unbeaten records. Although Ben Van Dyke (M60-69) and Stuart Hebberd (M70-79) suffered a loss early in the season, both won their categories this week and look certain to go on to win the series, although there are still another nine swims to go before the season ends. Thirty-two swimmers took on the short swim of about 500m with Brooke Swan (6.58) edging home ahead of Corban Holland (6.59) and Tom Perkins (7.00). Full results at www. nelsonseaswims.co.nz.
SPORTS Speed skating: Nelson speed skaters continue to shine on the rink, setting records and claiming a haul of medals at recent competitions. The 2019 National Road Champs saw 17 Nelson Skaters compete with junior skater Jamie Manson winning silver along with Blake McCormack ,while Holly Ward, Emily Olthof and Garth Jameson all claimed gold in their categories. Garth also won gold in the 1000m with Mikaela MacDonald winning the juvenile section. Day two saw more success for the skaters with Garth winning gold in the men’s masters and Mikaela setting two national records. Mikaela set record times in the Juvenile Girls 500m Heats and 3000m and also won gold in the 500m final bringing the region’s gold medal tally to nine. The team carried its momentum into the National Flat Track champs, also in Palmerston North. Tiara Richards found form setting a personal best and in the senior ladies 300m time trial. Mikaela continued to dominate the juvenile girls with another PB in the 300m and winning gold in the 800m Holly Ward also added to her haul with a firstplace finish in the junior girls 800m a strong challenge from two South Canterbury skaters to bring Nelson’s gold medal total to four.
Tasman inject new blood Tasman United will be hoping to spark a mid-season resurgence with two new additions to the squad. The side has had a forgettable campaign thus far losing seven of its nine encounters. However, Tasman should be confident of a strong back end of the ISP Premiership as defender Jake Williams and striker Liam MacDevvit have been added to the ranks. The two new signings along with Cristian Benitez all made their debut for Tasman during its 1-0 defeat to Canterbury United in Christchurch on Sunday. Jake’s signing also doubles as a homecoming having left Nelson at 13 to pursue his football career in Wellington. Liam, on the other hand, brings a wealth of experience, playing professionally in England with Gosport Borough and Lewes. 26-year-old Liam adds a lethal dose of speed to the side having been a star athlete as a teenager. His personal best for the 100m a
staggering 10.82. He says he hopes his speed can act as an attacking weapon for the struggling side. “There are some very capable players in this team, the first half of the season wouldn’t have been what the boys wanted but there is time to turn it around.” Liam says, whether he contributes one or five goals, the speedy striker just wants to install some confidence in the Tasman team. He has made the move north from Dunedin where he says he was struggling for game time. “I had a few injury niggles too, so I saw this as a great opportunity.” Jake has most recently enjoyed a stint in Wellington for the Phoenix Reserves where he played under current Tasman coach Andy Hedge. Returning to the region a little over a week ago, he says the Tasman environment is a very family- friendly one. “That’s a big thing for me and it’s great to see so much support behind this club.” The 18-year-old left back has also represented his country and even netted a goal for the U17’s against the Solomon Islands.
New Tasman signings Jake Williams and Liam MacDevvit. Photo: Jonty Dine. Jake says the league is all about consistency and he hopes to help them achieve that. “If you look at all the games they have been close and, in this competition, anyone can beat anyone on their day.”
The young defender says he prides himself on his work ethic and will leave it all on the pitch for Tasman. “If we finish higher than we are now and I can help keep a few clean sheets, that would be good."
Tasman will travel to Auckland this weekend to take on the Hamilton Wanderers before returning to Trafalgar to face Waitakere Utd on January 27.

Marlborough maintain stranglehold on competition Peter Grigg The Marlborough Dolphins continued on their winning ways with a comfortable victory over Nelson College on Saturday. The match of the round saw a couple of outstanding individual performances resulting in an epic encounter between Stoke Nayland and ACOB while Wakatu’s woes continued as they were smashed by WTTU. A fantastic innings by BJ Barnett just slightly overshadowed an outstanding all-round performance by Ben Stark in a tense encounter at Marsden Rec. Stark, Tim O’Connor and Patrick Howes all batted superbly for Stoke Nayland as they posted a highly-competitive total. The ACOB bowlers toiled away largely without success in trying conditions. Stoke Nayland may have been left rueing the fact that they did not utilise their full fifty over allotment, but they will still have been confident going into the break with 230 plus. Barnett however was sublime in his 69-ball innings. He stroked 12 boundaries as well as bludgeoning three sixes in his cultured knock. Greg Chitty and Josh Simpson offered solid support, but once Barnett departed it required Reuben Smith to bring ACOB home with a big six. Stark backed up his fine half cen-
iel Hooper both looked capable, but apart from them nobody really got going for Wakatu as Sam Field and Josh Newport did most of the damage with the ball. They claimed seven cheap wickets between them to ensure no partnerships were able to develop. In the end WTTU cantered to an easy and large victory as Wakatu succumbed in the thirtieth over.
