Keeping it cool

Paula Hulburt A humiliated part time bar manager whose boss told her she had a “superiority complex” has won a $28,606 pay out.

Dawn Langdon told the Employment Relations Authority that her job at the Junction Hotel left her “so stressed” she was forced to resign.

Owner Mike Pink was ordered to pay compensation of $18,000 plus additional costs including reimbursement of lost wages, holiday pay and Kiwisaver contributions.

An Employment Relations Authority (ERA) decision released last week by authority Helen Doyle found in favour of Dawn.

She ruled the Marlborough woman was “unjustifiably constructively dismissed and unjustifiably disadvantaged”.

“Mike Pink is ordered to pay to Dawn Langdon the sum of $18,000 without deduction being compensation for humiliation, loss of dignity and injury to feelings.

“There were other actions by Mr Pink in breach of good faith obligations that seriously damaged the employment relationship,” she says in her findings.

The findings come after Mike told the tribunal hearing that the Junction Hotel was owned by a company and not himself personally.

Paula Hulburt A cool addition to Blenheim’s town centre got a warm welcome after mysteriously appearing overnight.

Complete with hat and black and red stripped scarf, a snowman appeared on the grass near the roundabout on

Grove Rd in Blenheim on Sunday.

Within hours the five-foot snowman was mobbed by fans as parents from across Marlborough brought their children to see the cool addition.

While rumours are rife over who built the snowman, the creator has yet to be found.

But a red Hilux was spotted delivery snow to the area.

It is the second time a snowman has paid a trip to Blenheim, with one being built last year. Excited children showed-up in droves, with some taking small pieces of the snowman away with them to preserve for later.

She was paid $16 gross per hour.

She told Mike about worries she had concerning bullying behaviour directed at her but says she was made to feel like she was the cause of the problem.

In response to what he called a “tirade” of emails about the situation, Mike told his unhappy em-

“In view of the constant e-mails, personal meetings and other contacts you have bombarded me with since you commenced employment with us … I feel it only fair that I should be recom-

pensed for the time wasted unnecessarily.

“I have had to spend hours in replying to your tirades which has kept me away from doing my normal work and as I am partially incapacitated at present, I find

this totally unacceptable.

“I think that a figure of $500 is fair and I expect to receive this within 7 days,” he wrote.

Mike also claimed he had lost customers and in one case a company has “discontinued to lodge and eat here” with a loss of up to $1000 per week.

Langdon resigned on the grounds that her employer had breached his duty.

She later said at an ERA investigation meeting in Blenheim on 23 May that Pink made her feel like a “complete failure”.

“I am extremely upset and humiliated over the way I have been treated, when measured against the commitment and loyalty I have shown your business during my employment,” she wrote.

Mike and wife Hazel have since bought the Wave Café and Courtyard in Picton.

Beach access threat to cape News Matt Brown Vehicles are being blamed for the destruction of a pristine Marlborough beach by residents who want to see tighter controls.

The 2016 Kaikoura earthquake uplifted land around the Cape Campbell peninsula and the beach became a popular destination for four-wheel drive vehicles.

But Cape Campbell Experience manager Thomas Peter says the hike in numbers is putting the area at risk.

He says while people have been driving along the beach for years, since the earthquake it’s gone from “casual usage” to upwards of 50 vehicles on a busy day.

“With the Kaikoura quake, the area has had a real spotlight on it,” Thomas says.

The cape, well known for its lighthouse that guided ships around the dangerous reefs since 1870, is the natural habitat for several native species including the Banded Dotterel.

“Being a peninsula, it’s a nesting site for quite a few birds and it has a seal colony on it,” Thomas says.

“You can see the tyre tracks going right through the middle of where the seals are.

“I know down the Kaikoura coast if a vehicle is within 20 metres, it must be stationary with seals.”

Thomas says to protect the area; the answer is to look nationally – to other councils around New Zealand.

“They’ve effectively put a lot of bans and controls over timing and allowances of vehicles and speeds,” he says.

“Look to Wellington, they’ve put bans over huge proportions of the beach now.

“Auckland, even 90-mile beach now, I understand you can’t drive on it like you once

But Marlborough 4WD Club captain Tony Ashworth says no area should be closed off to Kiwis.

“The locals are trying to get everything banned down there,” Tony says.

He says the beach has always been driveable and claims land owners have only started complaining about access since they haven’t been able to charge.

“We do everything with a tread lightly mindset. You can use the area without destroying things.

“I know there are people that go out on their own, but we don’t condone that.”

The club has organised an annual Cape Campbell 4WD trip for about 27 years, Tony says.

“The older members of the club always talk about it.”

A community group formed to protect and enhance biodiversity of the area wants

to work with the community to find a solution.

Marlborough East Coast Protection Group secretary Heather Davies says they are working closely with DOC and MDC to educate the public.

Information signs and temporary fencing to protect particularly sensitive areas are in place.

“People are going further along and disturbing native birds and the formation of dunes,” Heather says.

She wants the region’s residents to share a sense of responsibility.

“That what they are doing, they have an impact. That people understand that these are Marlborough’s unique species.

“Those animals live there,” she says.

A council spokeswoman says the council is aware of the broad nature of ecological, economic, and social values that require a balanced approach to management.

Civic awards: Nominations for the Marlborough Youth Civic Awards are now open for nominations. The awards are open to any person aged between 13 and 20 who has carried out voluntary service in the Marlborough district which is beneficial to other residents of the region.

Pushing the

boundaries of Music

A Christchurch company is making the most of Marlborough’s sunny reputation with plans to install a two-megawatt solar farm.

The family-owned power generation company Kea Energy is currently in talks with local energy distributor Marlborough Lines to deliver renewable electricity.

Consents have been granted by Marlborough District Council for the solar farm in the Wairau Valley.

Kea Energy managing director Campbell McMath says the solar farm project is slowly coming together.

“We’ve done the initial application [with Marlborough Lines] and they’ve requested some information about the effects that the solar will have on the system”.

“An engineering company is analysing the effects on the power network with a report due within the fortnight,” Campbell says.

“We’re trying for two megawatts but it’s all negotiated with Marlborough Lines.

“If the power lines can’t handle that, we’ll have to reduce it or find clever ways to store it or send it out at non-peak generation time.”

Campbell says two mega-watts is enough energy to power up

Kea Energy’s Naomi and Campbell McMath. Photo: Supplied. to 500 homes.

“During the peak times, it would be powering the Wairau Valley.

“Wairau Valley would be fed from solar,” he says.

Kea Energy own and operate hydro and solar plants in Christchurch, generating around 2.2GWH of electricity every year – close to 30 per cent of Christchurch’s locally generated energy.

“If it was a dirty energy, we wouldn’t be doing it,” Campbell says.

“It’s economical and green which attracts us to it.”

He says Kea Energy take con-

trol of all aspects of the production of the powerplant, which allows them to build the solar farm for less.

“We do all the importing of the panels, the importing of all the equipment, we do all the installation ourselves and we do all the engineering ourselves,” Campbell says.

“Once this goes ahead, we’re going to do some analysis and if that’s all promising we’re going to start looking at a much larger one.

“We’re still determining the area, whether it would be in Tasman or Marlborough or up in the Hawkes Bay area.”

New chapter for vegan farmer Paula Hulburt

Fear of suffering a fatal bleed has compelled a fourth generation Picton farmer to ditch meat for good.

Dawn Chorus chairman James Wilson, 78, suffered two embolisms and believed he was at risk of an internal bleed.

Scared he might die, the conservationist made a nerve-wracking decision to stop his blood thinning medication.

Once a confirmed “anti-vegan” the father of four adopted a whole-food plant-based lifestyle (WFPB).

“I suffered a pulmonary embolism after an operation for a snapped Achilles tendon.

“Twenty years later I suffered a second, more minor embolism, and due to my history, I was put on warfarin “for life”.

“My health and well-being were less than adequate on this medicine and I worried that I might well suffer a fatal internal bleed.

“Despite medical warnings to the contrary, due to the damage of blood vessels around my heart, I resolved to go off Warfarin, he says.

James, who says he has lost 20kg, has now written a book, Plant Paradigm, about his efforts in a

bid to encourage others to follow in his footsteps.

“Plant Paradigm, while forcibly putting the case for a whole-food plant-based lifestyle, includes practical answers to many of the frequently asked questions expressed by people considering a change to their way of living,” James says.

A radio interview was the catalyst for his new eating regime.

James says he heard an interview where a doctor spoke of damaged blood vessels being repaired in people following a whole plant food-based diet.

It took him six weeks to settle into the new regime and says he has noticed a dramatic cut in the number of viral illnesses he gets.

“As soon as the interview was over, I made an immediate switch, I was lucky that I was driven by the fear of death.

Subsequently, I feel something like ten years younger than I did, I have suffered almost no colds, no flu and no other similar ailments that I had previously suffered from and considerably less than are normal for a man of my age,” he says.

James says while most of his friends have stuck to their nonvegan ways, some are “closet” vegans.

Hunt Construction scooped a Gold award and were Category Winner for a Renovation up to $500,000.

Peter Ray Homes and Roger Townley Construction won a Gold award in the Altus Windows New Home $750,000 - $1 million category.

Peter Ray Homes also won a gold award and was a category winner in the Volume/Group Housing New Home $450,000 $750,000 section.

Deer poisoned by 1080 report reveals Dead deer found on a high-country station were killed by 1080 it’s been revealed.

In 2017, the Marlborough Branch of the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association conducted a post drop survey after OSPRI applied 1080 to close to 60,000 hectares of the highcountry farm.

Deer carcasses were counted by helicopter and 21 of the dead deer were tested for the poison – the study claims all were poisoned by 1080.

The report concluded the pest control operation killed a “substantial proportion” of the deer population.

“The by-kill was substantially higher than the 30 per cent expected by OSPRI,” the report says.

“The overall objective of the research was to quantify the actual bykill levels in an alpine, open dry land environment, given many of these carcases then wash into waterways, and the Molesworth herd is trophy class so important to hunters.

“With this research in hand it allowed the branch to have subsequent evidence-based discussions with OSPRI, Landcare, DOC, Game

Animal Council and the Molesworth steering committee in January 2018.

OSPRI postponed planned 1080 operations on the station in 2018 and has been trialling new deer repellent bait since the beginning of the year.

“The research has been a game changer in that it has exposed excessive by-kill levels which in turn have demanded a serious attempt at genuine mitigation,” the report says.

A Department of Conservation spokeswoman says the operation was followed by an unusually long dry period and, without enough rain to leach 1080 from the cereal baits, the baits were toxic for longer.

“Generally, most 1080 is leached from baits after rainfall.

“When residue from uneaten 1080 bait seeps into the soil, microorganisms break it down into non-toxic by-products through biodegradation.”

She says DOC focus monitoring on threatened native species in Molesworth to protect and preserve them, and on the non-native species that are controlled for conservation purposes, such as wilding pines.

Students shift to thrift

Paula Hulburt

It used to display books, but shopping savvy students have set up a thrift shop in an old library to encourage browsers of a different kind.

Inside the former library at Marlborough Girls’ College, student volunteers have set up a clothes and accessories store.

They hope the move will help their peers save money as well as encouraging recycling.

Year 12 student Breanna Holt says the idea for the small store, named Hidden Treasures, was sparked after a visit to Nelson College for Girls.

“We looked at what they had done and thought we could do it too.

“It’s much easier to get to than say Savemart where students have to drive to and most of

our items are more affordable,” she says.

Clothes sell for under five dollars or $15 for well-known labels.

After getting the idea okayed by principal Mary-Jeanne Lynch, a subcommittee of the college’s Enviroschools group swung into action.

A competition to see which class could donate the most saw clothes come flooding in says English teacher Michelle Dawson.

“We held a competition to see what form class could get the most donations with the prize being a pizza-lunch.

“I’ve taught most of the girls at some point and it’s a real pleasure to be working with them again.”

The college is working towards gaining its gold Enviroschools

award.

Student Olivia Cooke says the recycling aspect is an important part of the decision to set up the shop.

The store also stocks a range of clothes in the school’s house colours to make it easier for students to find the right coloured clothes at the right price.

Volunteers join a six-week roster and take it in turns to oversee sales. Student Sophie Ellis says with both the girls’ and boys’ colleges preparing to co-locate, a future thrift store would have to expand its range.

“There’ll be opportunity to grow and one day it will have to cater for boys too.

“When we’ve all moved on, it’ll be our legacy”.

Funds raised through sales will be put towards bettering the college environment.

Water watchdog plan welcomed Paula Hulburt Editor

paula@marlboroughmedia.co.nz Plans for a national water watchdog have been welcomed by the mayor- but with a warning.

Marlborough Mayor John Leggett has embraced Government plans to approve a dedicated watchdog and new water regulations.

But he cautioned costs could be an issue for council trying to reach “new benchmarks”.

“The devil could be in the detail ...

“There is still a long way to go on this issue.

“Council will need to ensure the standards and timeframes are set appropriately so that Marlborough can afford the investment required to meet the new benchmarks,” he says.

Around 34,000 people across the country become ill from their drinking water every year.

Many thousands of people must boil their water to drink it safely, including Seddon where a boil water notice is still in place.

Marlborough District Council staff are working with officials from the Ministry of Health to ensure water from the new multi-million-dollar water treat-

Mayor Leggett says the council supports a move from central government to “strengthen its leadership role.”

“It’s great to see that this step change, initially at the regulatory end, is finally occurring,” he says.

Minister of Health David Clark says

public safety is a non-negotiable priority.

“Access to safe, clean drinking water is a birth-right for New Zealanders and a key concern for communities up and down the country. Wherever they live, consumers and communities expect to be able to turn on the tap and drink the water without fear of getting ill.”

Region lags in sunshine hours

A wet, warm July saw Marlborough have a much lower number of frosts, and more rain.

The cloudy month saw the region fall further behind the country’s sunniest spot, Nelson, which retains the title by 30 hours.

July was one of the warmest on record.

Plant and Food scientist Rob Agnew says this month equalled the previous warmest July temperature recorded in 2005 with a mean temperature of 9.7°C - 1.8°C above the long-term average.

Provisional sunshine results indicate that Napier was the sunniest town in July with 162.6 hours sunshine, well ahead of Nelson with 152 hours and Blenheim with 137.2 hours.

Timber mill branches out Paula Hulburt Plans to revitalise a Marlborough sawmill could be a huge boom for Picton’s port and the region’s economy.

Kaituna Sawmill and Nelson Forests Ltd have revealed plans to boost production.

The move is set to see an increase in jobs and see Port Marlborough expand from exporting around 700,000 tonnes of logs a year to hitting the million mark.

Both companies are owned by Australian company OneFortyOne. Executive general manager New Zealand Lees Seymour says the company is exploring opportunities to process more logs on shore and to develop alternative wood chip markets.

“In order to increase sawmill capacity there is the need to develop new woodchip markets, you can’t do one without the other.”

The businesses have signed an agreement that highlights how the two companies will work together through the feasibility phase and, if successful, through to implementation.

“The relationship we have with Port Marlborough is outstanding and we are very happy to be able to work with such a professional team,” says Lees.

Nelson Forests have hired a project manager to investigate the building of a facility that would enable the export of wood chips from Port Marlborough.

Kaituna Sawmill currently processes

Located just off SH6, a short distance from the Wairau River bridge, the mill employs more than 60 people.

Plans to increase capacity would see an improvement in returns for Marlborough forest owners and im-

proved environmental outcomes for the region, says Lees.

Port Marlborough CEO Rhys Welbourn says he is “delighted” to be working with Nelson Forests.

“This is good news for the port and good news for Marlborough.”

Council’s cuttingedge marine pest plan a first A biosecurity team took a groundbreaking approach to help stop the spread of a potentially catastrophic marine pest.

Marlborough District Council divers used a new encapsulation technique to contain the spread of Mediterranean Fanworm in Queen Charlotte Sound.

A vigilant boat owner reported the suspected threat to council bosses who immediately swung into action.

The find was the second in the last three months.

“Last month, a vigilant vessel owner did the right thing and reported suspected Mediterranean Fanworm on their boat to council.

“That afternoon juvenile fanworm was confirmed in areas near the vessels rudder.

“While the rapid response addressed the threat of the juvenile fanworm growing to maturity in Marlborough, to protect our marine ecosystems it’s important that boaties only bring vessels with a clean hull into Marlborough,” a council spokesperson warned.

In a first for the bisosecurity team, the marine pest was treated at the scene.

This technique involves encapsulating the vessel with heavy duty plastic to destroy biofouling - including marine pests like fanworm.

“The operation was carried out by the team’s diver without a hitch,” the spokesman says.

In-water surveillance of the surrounding environment ruled out further The worst case of Mediterranean fanworm ever found in Marlborough was uncovered on a boat moored at Waikawa Marina in May this year.

Council biosecurity manager Jono Underwood says the find highlights the importance for boat owners to be vigilant.

“Vessel owners and operators need to play their part, know the rules, and keep their vessels clean, especially when moving around.”

Any findings must be reported by law. Worried boaties should contact Marlborough District Council or Ministry for Primary Industries.

Is it too easy for people, under the New Zealand court system, to get name suppression?

Head to the Marlborough Media Facebook page for next week's poll.

In this era of social media, and "trial by social media" whereby anyone accused of anything is gossiped about and pretty much hung, drawn and quartered on FB, I think name suppression is vital to ensure a fair trial. I don't think we want a society where noone can be found guilty fairly, because everyone has decided they are guilty before the trial even starts Melissa Haylock

If the name suppression is there to protect the victim/s then absolutely it should happen. If it’s only for the perpetrators benefit then no, once the trial is over and they have been found guilty names should be released. Unfortunately due to the fact that information can be easily spread now innocent until proven guilty probably means without name suppression someone who is genuinely innocent would have their life destroyed without their name being suppressed. To Victims mostly don’t get name su- summarise my essay my opinion is that it’s pression why should perpetrators more than a yes or no question.

Jessica Francis get them.

A year and a half ago, chart-topping Kiwi jazz musician Nathan Haines was weeks into a monthslong fight against throat cancer, a battle that would at times rob him of his voice, his energy and his plans for the future.

Post treatment, the ambitious young man who left New Zealand in his teens and put out the first of 10 solo albums at age 22 is rereleasing an album and going on tour.

“This time is very special. I have reassembled the band I put together 25 years ago,” he says.

The album, Shift Left, marked the beginnings of a career that has taken Haines all over the world. It was also hugely influential in the New Zealand music landscape.

“I had no idea back then the in-

But Haines thinks that he is now playing as good as he ever has.

He will also have some good company. The musicians who helped him on that first album are also coming out to accompany him on tour.

“It’s going to be a milestone,” Nathan says. “It’s been a journey, but I feel incredibly blessed to be here to do what I’m good at. I have an incredible passion and love for music.”

Nathan Haines plays at the Trafalgar Centre on August 17.

Young Winemaker

of the year

An exciting competition is taking place in Marlborough this week, which will see talented young winemakers battle it out for a top regional title.

The first of three regional finals have

just been held in Hawkes Bay, in the quest to find the Tonnellerie de Mercurey NZ Young Winemaker of the Year 2019. At the North Island competition, which was held at EIT on August 1, Kate Franklin from Sacred

NEW ZEALAND

SHEETMETAL

Hill was announced the winner of the Tonnellerie de Mercurey North Island Young Winemaker of the Year 2019.

The competition is now in its fifth year.

“It’s exciting to see how this competition is growing and to see the contestants grow in confidence and knowledge each year,” says Nicky Grandorge, National Co-Ordinator.

“It really is a great way for these emerging young winemakers to start making a name for themselves and progress their careers.”

The Marlborough regional final is taking place on Wednesday, August 7 at NMIT and the remaining regional competition will take place in Central Otago on Thursday, August 15 at VinPro. The competitors in the Marlborough competition are as follows: Kelly Stuart (Cloudy Bay), Mary-Ann Kuhn (Waimea Estates), Kathleen Zelter (Constellation Brands), Emily Gaspard-Clark (Spy Valley), Peter Russell (Matua), Tom Hindmarsh (The Coterie), Alun Kilby (Marisco), Micheal Hearn (Vinlink Marlborough).

The outcome of the regionals will determine who makes it through to the National Final

7th August

on Tuesday, September 17th also at NMIT in Marlborough and the national winner will be announced the same evening at the awards dinner at Wither Hills.

A tough competition, it will test many of the key skills and knowledge required to become at top quality winemaker.

People under 30 years old can enter if they are working in production, including those working as cellar hands, laboratory technicians, assistant winemakers and winemakers.

It is aimed at stretching the contestants, increasing their confidence, widening their networks and supporting them to grow and develop into New Zealand’s future leaders and winemakers.

The competition tests the contestants on a wide range of skills and knowledge required in the winemaking process.

For example, blending, laboratory tests, wine knowledge, tasting analysis, Health & Safety, presentation skills and market knowledge.

Marlborough’s Greg Lane was crowned the 2018 Tonnillerie de Mercurey New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year in Auckland last year. Lane, who is the brand winemaker

for Grove Mill fought off some tough competition from three other young winemakers representing both the North and South Island.

The grand winner of the Tonnellerie de Mercurey NZ Young Winemaker of the Year 2019 gets to take home a $5000 travel grant, a $2000 Programmed Property Services Education Scholarship, a bespoke trophy – a miniature Mercurey barrel, a Riedel decanter and cash. They will also be an Associate Judge at the NZ Wine of the Year competition, receive a personal tasting experience with a Villa Maria senior winemaker and attend the NZ Wine Awards in November.

Members of the public are welcome to come down and support the Vin Olympics at the Marlborough Regional Final at 12 noon on Wednesday August 7 at NMIT, where Farmlands are kindly putting on a BBQ. For more information or to find out about tickets for dinners, please contact Nicky Grandorge nicky.grandorge@ nzwine.com For more information go to www.nzwine.com/en/initiativesyoung-winemakers/ or visit NZ Young Winemakers on Facebook.

Final appointment a career highlight for young umpire Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Handling pressure and responsibility is nothing new to up-andcoming netball umpire McKynlee Breen.

The 19-year-old, a former Marlborough Girls’ College head girl, recently controlled the Netball NZ under-17 tournament final in Auckland, another step on her pathway to bigger and better officiating appointments.

She labelled her selection to umpire at that level and then her promotion to the U17 final, between Waitakere and Manawatu, as the undoubted highlights of her career so far.

“Initially being chosen for the tournament was quite a surprise because I was only awarded my New Zealand C [umpiring] badge two months ago so I wasn’t expecting to be chosen. However, my name was put forward and I was assessed and passed, so that was a massive achievement.

“I had a lot of support. My intent wasn’t to umpire the big games, it was just to learn from the experience as it was my first Netball NZ tournament.”

However, McKynlee’s efforts during a tight quarterfinal saw the umpiring adjudicators message her at night, telling her she had been chosen to handle the tournament decider.

McKynlee Breen, left, and reserve umpire Kate Fraser after the national under-17 final. Photo: Supplied.

“There was a little bit of pressure, but I had a very intense quarterfinal … so that prepped me well heading into the semis and the final.”

She recalled that although there were plenty of nerves before the national title decider began, they evaporated as soon as the first whistle was blown.

“North Island teams play a different style of netball, it was nice netball to read and I was able to let quite a lot of contesting go.

“Quite often I find with South Island teams there is just unnecessary contact and players waiting

for the calls, whereas up north they play netball and contest beautifully, so it made for a really nice game [to umpire] actually.

“At the end of the game I was just buzzing because I felt I had done a good job.”

McKynlee is in her second year at the University of Canterbury, where she is studying for a health science degree in health education with a view to working in the mental health area.

She was a member of the MGC senior A netball team for three seasons and, although she still enjoys playing the game, gets an

even bigger kick from umpiring.

“I love umpiring because you are thinking a lot more. As a player you are often just thinking of yourself but as an umpire you are thinking about absolutely everything so it’s a good way to keep you on your toes.

“I want to go out and support the players to have the best possible game they can have.”

She says there is no better feeling than seeing smiles on the faces of both sides after a game, knowing that you have facilitated a good game for them.

McKynlee began umpiring at junior level in Marlborough and has a few people to thank for supporting her ambitions as she made her way up the ladder.

“Michelle Stagg is a gorgeous umpire so to have her in our area we are very lucky and I have learned heaps off her.

“My parents [Robyn and Mike Breen] have also been very supportive … umpiring isn’t always an easy sport, because you take a lot of flak sometimes, and you have to learn to be tough. If I have had a rough game they have always been great at picking me up and helping me move on with it.”

“Jan Gallop pushed me through my zone badge and gave me lots of coaching. She has always provided awesome support.”

While based in Christchurch, McKynlee has been adopted by the local umpiring fraternity who

Red Devils hold shield Peter Jones

victory, subsequently booking the second challenge of the season for the prized symbol of top of the south rugby supremacy.

The Devils and Griffins will meet at Lansdowne Park on Saturday, August 17, with the shield at stake.

On Saturday, the Red Devils will play Buller and the Griffins will take on West Coast, both games in Murchison, serving as warmup fixtures for the forthcoming Heartland competition. The shield will not be at stake.

Marlborough 20 (Timoci Tavatavanawai, Braden Stewart tries, Corey Bovey 2 con, 2 pen) West Coast 17. HT: 10-7.

The Tasman Red Devils repelled another stern challenge for the Seddon Shield, finishing strongly to overcome West Coast 20-17 in Murchison on Saturday.

The Coasters started stronger, scoring an early converted try as the Devils battled for cohesion after a limited build-up.

A penalty to goalkicker Corey Bovey reduced the margin, then a converted try to Timoci Tavatavanawai saw the Devils take a 10-7 lead into the sheds at halftime.

Again the Coasters came out stronger, levelling the scores through a penalty then going ahead 17-10 with a second converted try as they built on a string of penalties earned off the back of scrum dominance.

However the Devils were not done, a second Bovey penalty putting them within one score of the lead. Then, with seven minutes to go and after a period of concerted pressure on the West Coast line, flanker Braden Stewart touched down near the posts and Bovey banged over the conversion to keep the shield safe for another day.

Assistant coach Baz Henare said front rowers Seymour Lambert, Quinn Harrison-Jones, Stewart, halfback Ben Finau, winger Nigel Satherley, plus newcomers Mitch Smith at fullback and hard-working lock Dylan Burns had impressive games.

He also said both sides looked rusty, coming off limited preparation, and showed a lack of structure for long periods.

In the early game the Nelson Griffins were much too strong for Buller, racing away with a 47-17

Blues win thriller Central are the Marlborough division two club champions after edging past Moutere 16-14 in a thrilling and highly-competitive final at Lansdowne Park on Saturday.

With five minutes on the clock the Magpies led 14-13, then up stepped Blues’ first five Ra Tamati who calmly slammed over a dropped goal from 40m to put his side into the lead.

However, there was further drama a few minutes later when Moutere goalkicker Amco Cassidy, who scored all his side’s points, had a chance to win it but pushed his penalty attempt wide.

Best of the Blues, who lost skipper Dan Crockett early with a leg injury, were front rowers John Pale, Fetu Ieremia and John Hart, plus the talented and versatile Tamati. Cassidy stood out for Moutere, along with halfback Josh Ludemann and lock Lockie Broughton.

Coach Dan Perrin he and his fellow management team were

looking for the right attitude and intent and “it was bang-on in the first and last periods of the match”.

“We have only had three trainings at this stage,” he said, “so there was bound to be rust but we saw plenty of potential and real talent. It’s just about putting it all together”.

He mentioned Matt GrahamWilliams, Kershawl Sykes-Martin, Bailey Tau Tau, Campbell Parata, Saul Lewis and Mitch Barry as players to stand out.

Their next game is against Canterbury in Hanmer on Saturday, followed by their first seeding match, against Otago in Christchurch, the following weekend.

College side prevail Marlborough Boys’ College First XV continued their late-season UC championship revival with a 62-21 victory over Roncalli Aoraki Combined in Timaru on Saturday. MBC began well, keeping the home side out of the game and scoring at over a point-a-minute.

Well-structured, solid forward carries by the likes of Te Ariki Peipi, Olly Lawson, Tino Vakaloa and Andre Hebberd created momentum, which was finished by some incisive running from the backs.

Especially impressive were Lotu Solomona and Keelan Murrell, while some of the bigger lads stood out with long-range finishing efforts, namely Bayley O’Hagan and Vili Napa’a, who was a real handful, running strongly in close and out wide.

There was also plenty of solid defence from the lower numbers, especially a couple of bonecrunching tackles from front rowers, Peipi and Vakaloa.

Roncalli picked up three second half tries using a strong tailwind to full advantage.

Blenheim next stop for Mako Jonty Dine and Peter Jones

The Tasman Mako laid down a marker ahead of Saturday’s opening Mitre 10 Cup match against Wellington in Blenheim when they put 50 points on Ranfurly Shield holders Otago in Nelson on Friday.

Coaches and players will tell you that pre-season results are of little consequence, but it’s hard to disregard the Mako’s emphatic statement as they ran in eight tries in trying conditions to win 54-19.

Rain fell shortly after kick-off at Trafalgar Park and remained throughout the first half, but didn’t deter the Mako from playing enterprising footy.

However, it was Otago who opened the scoring through captain Dylan Nel as the Mako made a number of early handling errors while adapting to the conditions.

It took until the 20th minute for Tasman to get on the board when skipper David Havili broke the

line and linked with Crusaders teammate Will Jordan for the home side’s first try.

The Mako added a second soon after when Levi Aumua snapped up a loose pass and again found the ever-present Jordan looming on the inside.

Skipper Havili was warned for repeated infringements from his side as Otago prop Aki Seiuli powered his way over the chalk to bring his side within two.

Tasman’s response was immediate, Leicester Fainganuuku finding himself in space on the left flank following some slick hands from the insides and proving to fast and strong for the Otago cover.

Andrew Makalio made it four for the hosts just before the break and Mitch Hunt continued his perfect night with the boot as Tasman went out to a 28-12 halftime lead.

Finlay Christie, Wyatt Crockett, Liam Squire, Blair Prinsep, Hugh

Roach, Tim O’Malley, Jamie Spowart, Sione Havili and Tima Fainganuuku were all introduced after oranges, underlining the strength in depth the Mako have been building.

While the rain stopped, so did the momentum as tensions threatened to boil over early in the second.

However, Squire soon made his impact in typical fashion, ranging out on the right wing in support of Tima Faingaanuku as Tasman stretched its lead to 25.

Tasman cleared the pine with Isaiah Miller and Fetui Paea entering the fray but by then fluidity was hard to find.

The home side bagged their sixth try when O’Malley kicked to the wing, finding Leicester Faingaanuku in acres of space.

The winger simply had to catch the ball and ground it for his second as the result was well and truly assured.

say as Alex Nankivell ran a superb line off O’Malley to seal a dominant win.

Halfback Declan Smith said that after putting in some hard yakka at training, he felt Tasman fully deserved the win.

“We have all come from different areas from the country and the boy did a great job tonight.”

However, he added that the side had plenty of lessons to learn before tackling the Lions at Lansdowne, kick off 2.05pm.

“We will be back in the classroom on Monday and figure out what we need to do before next Saturday,” said the young Welshman.

Just as Tasman looked set to bring up 50, winger Taylor Haugh swooped on a Christie error and sprinted 80m for a late consolation.

However, the Mako had the final

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN: Youngster Tom Robinson endeavours to escape the clutches of Mako loose forward Braden Stewart during one of the many activities on offer at Sunday’s first Tasman Rugby Union Player Development session for under-11 to under-14 players.

Thirty children and seven Mako past or present players attended the fastpaced Lansdowne Park session, the first of three designed to offer all age group players some intensive coach-

ing and a chance to rub shoulders with the Tasman senior players. The sessions have been introduced in the wake of the decision to end rep rugby from under-16 down and provide an opportunity for all players to get specialist help. The next two will take place on September 8 and 22.

At a similar gathering in Nelson, 120 children turned up at the Tahunanui venue, along with 10 Mako male players and six female.

Two teams on top Peter Jones While there were no blow-out scores on Tuesday evening, three teams came away from Stadium 2000 with decisive wins.

Following the second week of Marlborough premier netball’s third round, Pelorus and Tokomaru sit side-by-side at the top of the points table after beating Awatere and SMOG respectively, 51-35 and 60-51, while Harlequins made a final round statement with a 5443 victory over Marlborough Girls’ College.

The evening’s first match appeared to be going all the way to the wire, especially when SMOG led Toko by five goals at halftime. A low error-rate coupled with some slick shooting from Kate Gaudin and Lucy Barrett, tenacious work in midcourt by Katie Bradley and Sarah Hammond, plus athletic defensive work by Bonnie Morris and Jesse Volavola gave the Ladies in Black a distinct edge in the first half hour.

However, Toko are nothing if not resolute and in Gemma Hika, who shot at 100 percent, and their main target Haze Tepuia, they have a scoring combination who can rack up goals at a serious pace.

They won the third quarter by five, levelling the scores with 15 minutes to go. Then the Picton crew turned on the afterburners. While SMOG’s error rate allowed them just 10 shots at goal in the decisive period, Toko put up 24, underlining the difference in composure and finishing power.

The Wilson twins, Kayla and Hana, again demonstrated their silky skills in midcourt, while Michaela Boaz, Brooke Horton and the Lawrence sisters, Savannah and Naia, con-

tributed strongly to a hardfought but deserved victory.

The following match, between Harlequins and MGC followed a vastly different pattern, Quins jumping out of the blocks quickly and opening up a 14goal lead by halftime, a gulf the students were never going to bridge.

With shooters Lauren Murray and Liv Hodson taking full advantage of the wealth of possession and turnover ball that came their way, Quins appeared a genuine championship contender. Bridget Gane, Sophie Robinson and Maighan Watson provided drive and direction in midcourt while Hayley Lammas and the everimproving youngster Jackson McLaren punished any wayward passes and missed shots at the defensive end, despite missing the services of regular Taylor Rogers through an injury that may keep her out for the remainder of the season.

Anna Gardiner was a tower of strength for MGC, especially in the second half, the goal shooter dropping in 19 goals from 20 attempts, many from long distance.

Oakley Tepuia and Lily Tiueti impressed on defense for an MGC side who are now under pressure to make the semifinals. The evening’s last match featured Awatere, the surprise package of recent weeks who are improving week by week, against round two winners Pelorus.

Ultimately the favourites prevailed, but not without a struggle. They won three of the four quarters, drawing the other, but it was the first period of play that made the most difference.

After 15 minutes Awatere trailed 14-5, a deficit they never seriously threatened to bridge from then on.

Pelorus, with Courtney Taufa and Kelsie Fitzpatrick in the defensive circle, restricted the fluency of Awatere’s attack for long spells, while midcourters Jenna Gilbert, Laura Murphy and Jordan Peipi created space and found good angles for reliable shooters Paige Lovell and Olivia Pinkerton. Despite the loss of key defenders in Danielle Moffatt and Oriana Houra, Pelorus continue to shuffle their playing cards and find a way to get the job done.

Awatere’s skipper Nicole Witterick, named MVP for the previous round, was again influential, while Aimee Jones and Ashleigh Childs, in the attacking circle, battled hard to make the most of the ball that came their way. Despite letting this one slip, the Tussock Jumpers showed resilience in preventing a score blow-out, underlining their threat to all comers in this final round.

Scores: Tokomaru Crafar Crouch Picton 60 (Haze Tepuia 50/57, Gemma Hika 10/10) SMOG Good Home 51 (Lucy Barrett 21/25, Kate Gaudin 30/32.

Quarter scores (winning team first): 16-18, 10-13, 15-10, 1910. Pelorus Edridge Contracting 51 (Olivia Pinkerton 8/13, Paige Lovell 39/55, Laura Murphy 4/8) Awatere 35 (Tracee Lee 2/6, Aimee Jones 25/39, Ashleigh Childs 8/17). Quarter scores: 14-5, 13-13, 13-8, 11-9.

Harlequins Radich Law 54 (Lauren Murray 31/47, Liv Hodson 23/26) Marlborough Girls’ College NZ King Salmon 43 (Isabella Rohloff 9/12, Anna Gardiner 29/36, Taila Town 5/5). Quarter scores: 15-5, 1713, 9-14, 13-11.

#FinzUp

By Jonty Dine and Peter Jones After falling just short of a place in the 2018 Mitre 10 Cup final, the Tasman Mako will be hungrier than ever to land a maiden premiership title in 2019.

The return of some fan favourites to the region will no doubt pique interest in the fortunes of one of the competition’s early favourites.

Tasman is laden with Super Rugby talent, no less than 17 players having turned out for a Super franchise earlier this year.

The return of imposing blindside flanker Liam Squire, who last played for the Mako in 2015, is a bonus. Squire has had a wretched run with injuries and other issues which saw him withdraw his name from early-season All Blacks contention, but will add size and power to the Mako pack.

His presence adds weight to an already impressive loose trio mix with Jordan Taufua, Ethan Blackadder and fellow All Black Shannon Frizell

also on the books.

Taufua, who last played for Tasman in 2017, returns after signing a contract with the Leicester Tigers in England next year. He will look to add a third Mitre 10 Cup title to his resume before leaving New Zealand shores. The 108kg Samoan they call “The Beast” has played 20 times for Tasman, including the agonising 2017 premiership final loss to Canterbury.

Tasman will be well served in the tight five, rising stars Pari Pari Parkinson and Quinten Strange, plus veteran Joe Wheeler, adding plenty of grunt in the engine room.

The front row is also packed with experience and ability. Apart from the obvious qualities of vastly-experienced prop Wyatt Crockett, All Blacks Atu Moli and Tim Perry, Maori All Black Tyrel Lomax, Blair Prinsep, Isaac Salmon and Ryan Coxon add depth at the coal face.

Hookers Andrew Makalio and Hugh Roach, a former Waratahs and Rebels rake, are highlyrated hookers.

Behind the scrum there is skill and pace to burn.

The electric Will Jordan is back at fullback after topping the scoring charts last season with nine tries.

Captain David Havili is also likely to see plenty of game time after seemingly falling out of favour with All Black selectors, while the dangers of powerhouses Leicester Faingaanuku and Levi Aumua can’t be ignored.

Midfielders David Havili and Alex Nankivell, five-eighths Mitchell Hunt and Tim O’Malley, plus lively Hurricanes halfback Finlay Christie round out a quality backline for Tasman.

Tasman Rugby Union marketing manager Les Edwards reckons it is the best squad the Mako has ever assembled.

“It’s a magnificent squad, plenty of All Black, Maori All Black and Super Rugby level players, as well some very talented club players.”

Les says the Rugby World Cup year could be a significant disadvantage, particularly for sides such as Canterbury.

“In the last two finals it’s been (Richie) Mo’unga that’s aced us, so that might help.”

He says now it’s up to the Mako team to nail all the detail and the fans to get right behind them.

“What that means is getting to the games and wearing the colours and being as vocal as possible.”

The Mako have been dealt a tough draw and Les says the side will need to prove itself early on.

“We have got Wellington, first followed by Canterbury, two of the teams I believe will shape the competition.”

The Mako will also take on 2018 premiership champions Auckland.

“All of the other teams will be worthy opponents … Manawatu, North Harbour, and Northland are certainly no slouches.”

Les says as with most successful football sides, it will all start up front.

“Our front row needs to be strong, our secondrow stocks are good and our back row is superb.”

Les says the halves combination between Finlay Christie and Mitch Hunt will be crucial to the campaign.

“We then need the midfield to give our outsides a chance to show what they can do.”

With Leon MacDonald’s departure, Andrew Goodman has taken over as head coach for 2019.

“They are definitely a well-coached team with

Les says a key focal point for the season will be fan involvement.

KO Cup finalists found Peter Jones

Rangers AFC and Central Pirates will meet in the final of the 2019 Knockout Cup competition.

The finalists made their way to the decider in contrasting fashions, Rangers battling hard to overcome Blenheim Valley MBC 3-1 at A and P Park on Saturday, while Pirates romped past Rangers Masters 11-0 in the other semi at the same venue.

Rangers AFC scored first through Adam Rose in the 38th minute from a well-directed corner to take a 1-0 lead onto the break.

However MBC showed their usual grit to get back into the game after 60 minutes, their leading scorer Shinji Mikame equalizing from a free kick.

Rangers bagged a second in the 84th minute, again through the efforts of the prolific Rose, who slotted home after a rebound from the post.

MBC pushed hard, seeking an equalizing strike in the dying minutes, but were caught on the break, Rose completing his hattrick in the 90th minute.

In the other cup semifinal, third division side Rangers Masters found themselves up against first division rivals Central Pirates,

due to Masters’ previous opposition, Call Care Trojans, playing an ineligible player in the semis and being ruled out of the next round.

In Saturday’s semi, Pirates opened the scoring in the ninth minute through a penalty from Chris Turkington.

Rangers did well to hold Pirates to 1-0 until the 32nd minute when Sam Boyce doubled their lead, quickly followed up by a third through James Coughlan in the 33rd minute.

Three more goals followed, a second strike from all the first three scorers pushing Pirates to a 6-0 half time lead.

The second half was much the same with the division one side popping in another five goals through Chris Turkington, two goals taking his tally to four, James Coughlan, who completed a hat-trick, Jordy Columbus and Matt Goldsworthy.

In the Knockout Shield semis BV Masters beat Novus Picton 3-0 while Rangers Clubs of Marlborough downed Redwood Masters 6-1.

In the Knockout Bowl semis Central Wolves beat Cobras 3-2 on Saturday, but then saw the result reversed on Monday when
