PLANTING FOR THE FUTURE: Whangara School students Mohi Matete, Ben Love and Kamarley Whanarere-Bailey take part in a planting morning at Whangara Angus. The students are learning to care about the whenua around them and planting native trees is one way to do this. The children split into teams to plant 400 native trees including manuka, kanuka, cabbage trees and lemonwood, on the shores of a dam on the farm. The plants were supplied by Matawhero Nursery in Makaraka and i zonly purchased with a grant from the government’s One Billion Trees Programme. Each tree was blessed as k d it was planted and will be enjoyed by future generations as the plants grow and beautify the wetland. Picture by Liam Clayton

Loosehead prop Jesse Sweeney scored Pirates’ second-half try, the first try after the resumption. Right wing Shey Tahata, player-coach and tighthead prop Laman Davies, fullback BJ Sidney (two) and halfback Chris Richardson scored tries for Uawa, and Richardson kicked one conversion. Some 300 spectators covered both sidelines. Royce Maynard (first half) and Aaron Brown (second half) refereed a game without incident or cards being issued. Pirates were unlucky to lose feisty halfback CJ Fox-Campbell with a left-ankle injury 16 minutes in. He is a good competitor and will be missed. Openside flanker Wayne Collins and captain and No.8 Will Bolingford impressed Pirates player-coach, lock Willie Waitoa, while first five- eighth Jacob Leaf and centre Abbey Wawatai performed well in the backs.

KIDS aren’t easily impressed these days. But they were last Saturday, by LRB Sports’ rugby clinics at Uawa Domain in Tolaga Bay and at the Gisborne Boys’ High School Rectory field. The stage had been set. “Our kids have been champing at the bit to get on to the field,” Uawa Sports Club chairman Darryl Crawford said. “When we announced on Monday last week that things were starting up at the weekend, there was euphoria.” Thirty-five juniors ran through skill relays, one-on-one and two-on-two attacking drills, tackling and clean-out drills and high-ball catching. No sooner had the LRB crew returned from the East Coast at 12.45pm than guest coaches Gillies and Shiray Kaka were casting their critical eye over the Boys’ High first 15. Tauranga-based former All Black Sevens fullback Gillies Kaka was impressed. “They ripped into it and worked hard to learn new things — a bit of that was stuff we’d touched on up at Tolaga, but here it was dealt with in greater detail,” he said. “We covered more ground on evasion — on changing the defensive picture — and played conditioning games, which were variations of touch. “There’s a lot of talent over this way. The boys were sharp and made me work . . . one in particular was light on his feet.” That player was hotstepper King Maxwell. In the open session following the first 15 clinic, girls’ rugby emerging talent impressed, Rubi Hart and Gisborne Intermediate Year 7 student Hine Brooking prominent among them. AN EYE FOR THE OPENING: Enjoying the rugby clinic at Tolaga Bay are (from left) Kahutia Crawford, Maioha Waru and Tumanako Hart, now in Year 9 at Gisborne Girls’ Morice, as guest coach Gillies Kaka watches in the background.
