Kick-off to club rugby delayed

RUGBY Chris Cogdale

The start of the Wairarapa-Bush club competitions has been delayed by three weeks, the season has been shortened, and two catch-up weekends have been included because of the potential impact of covid-19.

The premier and senior reserve competitions were originally scheduled to kick off this Saturday and were to be played using the traditional format of two full rounds of home and away games, culminating in fi nals in late July.

However, with the high possibility that covid-19 might impact the fi rst few weeks of the competition, the Wai-Bush Council of Clubs have pushed back the season start to April 23 and reverted to the same format as last season.

That will have the eight teams split into two pools – ‘town’ and ‘country’ – with the top placed teams in each pool after three rounds to play off for the Lane Penn Trophy.

The teams will then play a full round of seven games, with the top four to progress to the Chris ‘Moose’ Kapene Memorial Cup semifi nals.

Wai-Bush executive offi cer Tony Hargood confi rmed the changes as well as the introduction of two catch-up weekends

“What the Council of Clubs have done, which I think is very wise, is that they’ve built two reserve weekends in, so if there needs to be a catch up in either of the competitions they’ve got those reserve weekends,” said Hargood.

The fi rst catch-up weekend is scheduled for May 14, if any town and country games are impacted, while the second is on Queen’s Birthday Weekend, which is usually a weekend off for club players.

If the catch-up weekends are not required, the competitions will progress to the next round without interruption.

In the opening round, 2021 champions and Lane Penn Trophy holders Greytown kick off the defence of their title away to Pioneer, and runnersup Carterton are away to 2020 champions Marist in the town section.

Eketahuna are at home to East Coast, and Martinborough host Gladstone in the fi rst week of action in the country section.

Women’s rugby in the province is also to get a big boost, with Hargood confi rming that Wai-Bush are entering a combined club team in the Manawatu competition.

The team is coached by Scott Collins, who guided a Wai-Bush representative team in two games at the end of the 2021 season.

The Manawatu competition runs from mid-April to June and the Wai-Bush team will play their home games on Trust House Memorial Park.

Another initiative being looked into by Wai-Bush is the possible introduction of an under 85kg grade, which has proved to be popular in other unions.

The added incentive for the weight restricted players is that the winners of the local club competition progress to the national play-off s, with the top two teams to meet in the fi nal at Auckland’s Eden Park.

A try is awarded to Greytown in last year’s clash with Pioneer. The two teams will meet in the opening round of premier club rugby.

Racing can’t get on track

RACING Chris Cogdale

For the third time in 12 months a race meeting at Tauherenikau has been abandoned because of the state of the track.

Sunday’s Masterton Racing Club scheduled meeting was canned after an inspection of the track on Saturday by the Racing Integrity Board, club, and other offi cials.

Consistent heavy rain during the week had resulted in inconsistencies with the track surface, and the offi cials were unanimous in their decision to abandon the meeting.

The abandonment is a double blow for the Masterton Racing Club after last year’s meeting at Tauherenikau was called off after the fi rst race when jockey Danielle Hirini was dislodged by her mount ‘She’s A Goddess’ near the 600m mark.

A later inspection of the track revealed a hole approximately 3m off the rail, 200mm deep and approximately 120mm in diameter.

Then last month heavy rain forced the abandonment of the Wairarapa Racing Club’s feature Waitangi Day meeting, although racing was transferred to Hastings and held during the following week.

It is the third consecutive year that bad luck has hit the Masterton Racing Club’s annual meeting. The 2020 meeting was held behind closed doors because of covid-19 restrictions.

NZ Thoroughbred Racing has since added an extra meeting to make up for Sunday’s abandonment, with seven races scheduled for Waverley on Friday.

Horses charge to the nish at Tauherenikau. It is becoming a rare sight on the course, with three meetings abandoned in the past 12 months. PHOTO/FILE GET CASH SCRAP METAL FOR YOUR UNWANTED VEHICLES • FARM EQUIPMENT • APPLIANCES

Power Farming Wairarapa is pleased to announce the award winning 2019 Deutz Fahr 5D range is in Masterton so you can drop down to 307 High Street in Solway for an inspection and book a demonstration.

They have been specifically designed for vineyards and orchards, demonstrations can be organized on site with Aaron or Graeme. “These highly innovative specialist tractors will meet the most exacting demands of both vineyard and orchard operators throughout the Wairarapa,” Graeme says. This exciting new series run the SDF Group FARMotion engine in 3 or 4 cylinder common-rail layouts with power ranging from 88 to 113hp. They also have electronic control, charge air cooling, DOC exhaust gas treatment and an eVisco cooling fan. In total there are 18 models available in three configurations. “They’re good looking and have a new style bonnet, an ergonomic cab with all new styling, a range of engines, a front suspension option, a range of different widths and a 40km road speed.” “The front support has new geometry which ensures an axle steering angle up to 60 degrees. They also have the shortest wheelbases in their class which makes the 5D range the most agile available”. There are plenty of technical highlights Rebecca Harding Administrator

like independent suspension on the front axle, ECO powershift transmission and diverse hydraulic options available when you order on indent. There are attachment areas at the front, middle and rear. With up to 2,800 kg lift capacity at the rear and 1,500kg at the front, all possible combinations of equipment can easily be moved and there’s plenty of scope for attaching sprayers and trimmers. High-Flow hydraulic configuration, offered as standard on all New Zealand spec machines, is another major improvement to the range. The configuration features two tandem pumps with one offering a total flow of 64 L/min and the other a flow of 67 L/min. This makes for a combined flow of over 130 L/min which is more than enough to power even the most demanding hydraulically driven, modern implements. The cabs are comfortable and offer maximum visibility in every direction along with a one-piece windscreen and all round glazing. Inside the engineers have managed to minimize noise and there’s a sophisticated air conditioning system and new seat options for the driver. The cab is slim and compact plus there are no sharp edges that could damage crops. In order to stay at the forefront of technology and innovation in the specialist sector, SDF and Deutz-

All machinery is sourced from internationally respected manufacturers such as Jaylor, Kverneland, Masschio Gaspardo, McHale and Merlo.
