Match fit Mahaki

Saturday 13-15

By Megan Connolly

Local youngster Mahaki Webster travelled to Waikanae recently to compete in the Wellington Regional Amateur Boxing Championships and came back the winner of his cadet category. The almost-13-year-old boxer began competing last year and has since competed in five matches around the Wellington region. Mahaki says his experience at the regional championships was “good” and he was “pumped” to win. There are a lot of things Mahaki enjoys about boxing but he’s not sure what his favourite part of it all is just yet, he says. But the young boxer does know he would like to travel around the country competing. Continued on page 2. Twelve-year-old Mahaki Webster of Wainuiomata is boxing his way through Wellington.

Mahaki has big boxing dreams Continued from page 1. Mahaki is not the only one in his family who is part of the boxing world; his mother, Cam, boxed when Mahaki was as young as three. “I used to bring him along while I trained, so he has been around it since he was little,” Cam says. The family has been in and out of boxing for many years Mahaki has early memories of his mum boxing and sparring with his dad. “I remember trying to practice but it was hard,” Mahaki says. In junior boxing, you can begin competing as young as 10 years old as a mini cadet trainer Craig Bennett says. “You have to keep fitness levels up so you compete regularly,” Craig says.

Mahaki has been doing extra training in preparation for future matches and goes to the Moohan Street gym at least three nights a week. “With the extra training it’s solely on him,” Craig says. “From a trainer’s perspective, the goal is for Mahaki to keep going and to be nominated for New Zealand Championships next year in October.” Mahaki says before his matches he gets nervous but his method of focusing is to just “breathe”. Craig adds that he wants boxers to be role models. “Role models are created.” Mahaki headed to Palmerston North at the weekend and competed in the Manawatu Boxing Championships and came home with silver as runner up in his category.

The pouwhenua for the new welcome sign is starting to take shape through the watchful eyes of designer Tama Ferguson and carver Rikki Porter-Samuels. PHOTO: Supplied.

The saying “all good things take time” perfectly describes the process of the new welcome sign which will be added to Wainuiomata Hill. So it’s with great excitement and pride that the carving has begun for the sign’s pouwhenua by Tamariki Ferguson, who also designed the sign, and local artist and carver Rikki Porter-Samuels. The journey has already been a long one due to structural needs including sourcing wood of the right scale and quality, Love Wainuiomata’s Esther King says. “The Wainuiomata Welcome Sign wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of Tama and Rikki.” Esther says. “We’re so grateful for our community’s continued support including ongoing work by Wainuiomata Marae. Just getting this log here was only possible

thanks to K&D Contracting Ltd turning up, for free, with their crew,” she adds. Rikki thinks the log weighs over 600 kilograms, “It took nine guys to get it here.” Rikki has been carving since he was seven years old and loves the process. “I used to watch my grandad who was a master carver. He’d get annoyed with me using his tools so he bought me my first set.” Tama’s design for the carving includes six different styles from around the globe to celebrate the diversity within the Wainuiomata community. Traditionally it would be tapu for the carving to be seen prior to completion, and for women and children to see it. But because it is a community project Rikki says it is important the community see it come to life. When the Pouwhenua is finished the next challenge begins, including making a mould.

Historic win for Ulalei netballers By Vaegaau Sagaga

Ulalei Pua netball team have taken the Wainuiomata Ulalei Netball Club to unprecedented heights by winning the Netball Hutt Valley Premier 1 Championship. For the club, it is a historic victory. This is the first time they have played in the Premier 1 Final and to take out the Championship is a momentous occasion for the club, a spokesperson says. Ulalei Pua played Naenae Collegians United in the finals. The first quarter was evenly balanced, both sides showing early nerves and turning over early ball, but eventually settled with Naenae Collegians taking the first quarter 10-8. Ulalei turned up the heat in the second quarter solidifying their connections on attack with some beautiful feeds from wing attack Renee Kassey and centre Brittany Antipas to their shooters Alicia Hina and Bronwyn Pelenise who were able to convert with ease. This forced Naenae Collegians to make positional changes partway through the second quarter. However, Ulalei Pua was relentless and continued to surge ahead to take the half time lead by 22-18. Enter the third quarter, the championship quarter and Ulalei Pua started to put the foot down. The defensive unit of Coral Winiata, Hayley Mellon, Celine Antipas and Brittany Antipas built a fortress the opposition struggled to break through. The pressure put on every pass into the opposition shooting circle created intercepts for the circle defenders Winiata and Mellon, who used their incredible elevation to collect intercept after intercept. Naenae Collegians made further changes, however, Ulalei Pua was clinical and executed the basics with precision on

attack and defence, to take a strong 35-29 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. In the final quarter Ulalei Pua stayed with its starting seven, no changes required. The experience, the talent and the understanding between the players came to the forefront. Ulalei Pua team shifted to top gear, unleashing all the tricks, the no-look passes, bullet passes, back flicks and all the razzle-dazzle, scoring 16 goals and restricting the opposition to just the five goals. Pua cruised to a victorious win

51-34 and taking the Premier 1 Championship title. The coaching and managing teams of Alicia Colledge and Ellen Miles are very satisfied with the patience shown by the team and the ability to change the pace of the game at will. In the Senior 1 Final, Ulalei Fuesina – the young guns of the club – played against the more experienced Upper Hutt Maidstone Meatballs. The game was evenly matched right up to half time with Maidstone holding a slender 20-18 lead. In the third quarter, the Meat-

balls brought physicality to the game, which the young Ulalei Fuesina were not able to contain. Maidstone led 33-24 at the end of the quarter. In the final quarter, Ulalei Fuesina fought back with some beautiful long-range shooting from Bree Itula and Montana Hepi, however, in the end, it was not enough. Maidstone Meatballs won 40-33. “It was a great experience for the young guns to have a taste of finals netball and will no doubt come back stronger in 2020,” coach Lahraine Sagaga says.

Rents on the rise Every region in New Zealand saw an annual increase in rent in July as rental properties across the country continue to attract a lot of interest from potential tenants, according to the latest Trade Me Rental Price Index. Trade Me Property’s Aaron Clancy said many regions experienced strong double-digit growth in July with four regions reaching new records. “Demand for rental properties continues to rise and we saw a 20 per cent jump in the number of enquiries nationwide,” he says. “With rents remaining high, demand increasing and supply slipping, all the signs are pointing to record-breaking rents this summer.”

Ignite Sport fundraisers for new building By Megan Connolly

Non profit Ignite Sports helps thousands of children across Hutt Valley, including hundreds of young students from Wainuiomata primary, intermediate and senior schools with their leadership programmes. Which is why they need your help. Ignite Sport needs to raise $200k before for September 30 to purchase the former Lower Hutt City AFC clubrooms at Bell Park which will become ignites new ‘home’ base. They are already on their way with over $62k raised. Alongside their new building, there will be new basketball courts to which the Hutt City Council is contributing $250k to. Ignite has been running development and leadership programmes for youth across the valley for over 12 years but currently, does not have a purpose-built area for their activities. Having their own space will be a game-changer in what the programme can achieve, coordinator Kevin Goldsbury says. “We deliver about 80 per cent of our activities here so this will

save over an hour of travelling a day,” he says. “This will give Ignite and young people who participate in our activities a place they can call home, which is an advantage of having a building of our own.” The plan for the building is to have the bottom floor kitted out as a space for activities and

learning, while the upstairs will contain their offices. “By having a home base we will be providing a space for young people who need additional support and know they can come back to,” Kevin says. Kevin and the team say support from a large number of people in the community who back

the project, will help them their reach our goal. “We’re not about making a profit, it’s about creating more opportunities for our young people who have a huge amount to offer,” Kevin says. To donate follow the instructions at www.ignitesport.org. nz/appeal.

Community rallies at Community Board meeting The final community board meeting of the triennium was held last Wednesday night with a huge community turn out. One of the issues discussed by members, along with the cleanfill and water bottling concerns, was the future of the Queen Street Reserve. With the issue having been brought into focus recently by local councillor Campbell Barry, it was revealed that Hutt City Council had been exploring ideas and working on concepts

to sell off the reserve for housing. Chief Executive of Hutt City Council Jo Miller was in attendance at the Community Board meeting to listen to the public concerns and released a statement the following day addressing some of those concerns. “I want to reassure everyone that there are no council approved plans to do anything to the Queen Street Reserve,” Jo says. “Ideas and concepts that were shared with councillors in a

closed meeting in September 2018 are not progressing as this, along with any options for a community hub, would be a matter for the new council to consider.” Throughout, the public expressed the desire for transparency, open process and communication and pleaded to keep their green spaces and reserves. Jo says: “Whatever the future plans are for Wainuiomata they will be shared and developed in consultation with the community.

“It’s very important that the Wainuiomata community’s voice is heard and included in any planning about the future of their place. “Plans for a hub in Wainuiomata or for this reserve will not progress without comprehensive community engagement with the people of Wainuiomata” she says. If you would like to read the entire statement from Jo Miller, go to the Hutt City Council Facebook page.

Football field litter Dear Editor, I am writing about the strapping that football players use while playing which is then ripped off and just dumped on the ground after they have finished the game. There are at least four rubbish bins along the fence between the carpark and soccer fields which

the players would have to walk past going back to their cars. I walk around Richard Prouse Park a lot and always notice this tape and will pick it up and put it in any one of the four bins myself. The photo is of all of the strapping tape and plastic tops off drink bottles which I picked up

in a matter of a couple of minutes as I walked past a couple of goal areas. The players, coaches, parents need to be checking before they leave after a game that there is no rubbish left behind. This area is so beautiful, please keep it that way. Louise

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Where’s my Wagner? The Black Caps have missed a trick by not playing Neil Wagner during this Sri Lankan year series. As a fan, it seems baffling that the powers that be could sit Wagner, who is currently ranked as the sixth best test bowler in the world. The two tests in Sri Lanka have been hampered by rain

but Wagner’s heart and hustle was sorely missed in the first test loss when the pitch offered nothing for the traditional seamer. Perhaps the team feel obliged to play the under-performing Tim Southee because he is the squad’s vice captain but it would only be a member of the Southee family that would

suggest with a straight face that Tim trumps Neil at this point. The Black Caps missed Wagner’s variety and short-pitches variation. His tactics unsettled the Sri Lankan’s in our conditions last summer and on a placid pitch, it may have been worth exploiting the mental scars in unfamiliar conditions.

The Black Caps have shown tremendous loyalty to Southee who has been a shell of himself since the 2015 World Cup. The same could be said for Mitchell Santner who was mercilessly dropped for the second test. Santner has been given every opportunity to succeed in all three formats and while he

seems to be a handy enough 50-over bowler he has not made the same strides in tests and his batting remains inconsistent at best. There is a limited window left with test specialist Wagner and during a tour where New Zealand has floundered in many aspects, his passion and energy has been sorely missed.

Gymnastics has youngsters beaming By Megan Connolly

Local primary school pupils tumbled into the War Memorial Hall on Queen Street last Thursday and vaulted through the first Gymsports held in Wainuiomata. There were around 100 junior and senior students participating from Fernlea, Konini and Pukeatua Primary schools who had the opportunity to have a fun introduction to gymnastics. Each group rotated around three gymnastic skills: vault, floor and beams, taking turns to practise their shapes before they performed their routines to Gymsports organiser Mel Sales says. Although it wasn’t strictly a competition Mel and her helpers watch each student and pop a shiny star on each certificate based on a how well

they go. “We’re looking at confidence, remembering the sequences and doing the best they can,” Mel says. Many of the children participating have never been exposed to gymnastics before, she says. Gymsports gives the students an opportunity to try a different type of sport for fun. “The idea is that it is a basic set up of gymnastic apparatus, because schools don’t necessarily have all of the equipment. “Schools can still come along and feel as though they can participate,” Mel says. Clive’s Chemist sponsored the day by providing transport costs for Gymsports to come over the community. Organisers hope that next year the event will include more local schools and even more enthusiatic students.

Willie Gemmel Rugby Cup draws crowds

The annual Willie Gemmel Cup was played on Saturday at William Jones Park, Wainuiomata with great success. Two teams comprised of local residents play each other, with a chance for coaches, teachers, parents and siblings to play against their sons, students and brothers in the First XV school rugby team.

This year it was the community team who took the win, 60-43. Head coach of the High School First XV Rugby team, Phillip Kauika says: “both teams threw the ball around and had fun doing so, with some good tries scored by both.” “It was an awesome game from the First XV players Raymond Seumanu, Kueva Samoa

and Andrew Sa’u. Thomas (Highlanders) and Peter (Hurricanes) Umaga Jensen played too. “They were great additions to the game and were able to show their class and skill whilst taking it a little easy on their younger opponents. “There was plenty of banter that between the two teams through the week so it was sweet

to get victory over the First XV for another year,” Phillip says. It was extra special this year as there was a gold coin donation on entry with all money raised going towards a young Wainuiomata Rugby League Lion, Nehemiah Awatere, who is battling through cancer treatment. “This was the biggest crowd

we have had and this has been building year on year. Probably around 800 people came along,” Phillip says. The trophy has been played since 2001 and Willie Gemmell, who the trophy is named after, says the parent’s side has never lost. Saturday was the closest that the First XV have got though.
