Giants on ÿ re in Dodger win
SOFTBALL Chris Cogdale

The young Giants side extended their unbeaten run in the Intercity Premier Three Championship to fi ve games with a convincing 9-0 win over Hutt Valley Dodgers White on Saturday.
Giants were in control from the fi rst inning at South Park with bat and ball.
Pitcher Mike McDermott had the ball on a string and was diffi cult to get away, but when he was hit, sharp fi elding had the Dodgers batters caught or run out on base, including one smart double play.
McDermott was also on fi re with the bat, hitting an infi eld home run, as the home side cruised to victory in fi ve innings.
Giants are the only unbeaten side in the competition, with two rounds to play before the Christmas break.
Giants Presidents also had an easy win, dispatching Hutt Valley Demons 16-6 in their clash at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt.
Two of the nonplaying premier three players –Thomas Kawana and Julian Ellmers – joined the side for the match to get some game time, and the move paid off with both impressing.
Ellmers highlighted his batting prowess by hitting a home run, while Kawana was solid in the fi eld, grabbing a couple of sharp catches.
The move to bring in the young players could be a forerunner to the possibility of the Presidents Grade side stepping up to Intercity Premier Three in the new year, giving the club two teams in the competition.
The Giants women turned on a competitive showing against the strong Totara Park Gold side, before going down 6-8 in the Hutt Valley Major B game at South Park.
All three Giants teams held a minute’s silence before the start of play in memory of former Kuripuni Tavern manager Kerry Hogan, a great supporter and sponsor of the club, who passed away last week after a long battle with cancer.
The Under 15s game against Dodgers Mini Ds was cancelled because of rain in the Hutt Valley.
Masterton teams to vie for ÿ nal
TENNIS Chris Cogdale

The Wairarapa Tennis pre-Christmas men’s interclub fi nal will be an all-Masterton aff air.
Masterton Blue had already booked their place in the Shirley Corlett Trophy fi nal before last Thursday’s fi nal round, and they were joined by Masterton White, who needed a 2-1 victory over Opaki Black to guarantee their place.
The singles were shared after number one Kelby Courtney had gone down 2-6 1-6 to Lochie McNab, and Liam Kerr continued his unbeaten run in singles with a 6-2 6-3 defeat of Richie Day.
Courtney and Kerr won a tight fi rst set in the doubles 6-4 but were untroubled in winning the second set without dropping a game, to lock in a fi nal spot against their clubmates.
Masterton Blue confi rmed their favouritism for their second consecutive title,

with a fi fth clean sweep in six fi xtures, beating Opaki Red without dropping a set.
Boon Huxtable easily accounted for Mike Jackson 6-0 6-2, and Rhys Hooper withstood a second set comeback to beat Ben Riwai-Couch 6-1 7-5. Huxtable and Hooper then cruised to a 6-2 6-4 win in the doubles.
Masterton Blue fi nished 23 points, out of a possible 24, well clear of Masterton White on 15 points.
The Masterton women warmed up for their fi nal with a comfortable 3-0 win over Martinborough Three.
Hilda Holman despatched Ella McWilliam 6-2 6-1, and Netia Morison beat Caroline Barton in a super tiebreaker 6-0 4-6 10-6. Holman and Morison strolled to a 6-1 6-2 victory in the doubles.
Masterton will play Martinborough Two in the decider.
Both fi nals will be played at the Trust House Masterton Tennis Centre on Friday night.
