This is the first group of parents from Waikirikiri School who smashed all six sessions of Building Awesome Whanau . . . and they loved it. Their 24 children between them loved it too. Laughter played a big part in the six-week kaupapa which is not only about empowering whanau but them “doing life” together. The best bit for the whanau involved is that it is not run by “the system” but by Waikirikiri School kaihapai whanau coordinator Tui Keenan (centre) affectionately known as “The Bulldozer”. From left are Morgan Haapu, Leecreshah Witeri, Ruby Neshausen, Tui Keenan, Eddie Adams, Jara Waaka and Chelsea Waaka.

RUGBY by Jack Malcolm THIS weekend YMP travel to Te Karaka to face Waikohu in a top-of-the-table clash to decide who will take the competition’s top spot going into the Queen’s Birthday Weekend break. After five games, the two teams are separated by just one point on the Civil Project Solutions championship ladder, with East Coast Farm Vets YMP leading the charge on 21 points. Both teams have lost one game so far this season. GT Shearing Waikohu fell short on Tiny White Opening Day to Enterprise OBM, and YMP could not overcome Waikohu during their second-round clash. The only thing separating the two teams is the one extra bonus point YMP has, having earned one from every game so far this season. The level of play has seen a significant improvement since the teams first met six weeks ago. YMP coach Brian Leach said Waikohu are a formidable side across the park, but he believes the game will be decided in the forwards. “All in all, we’re preparing for a forward battle. That’s where the ball’s won and lost. “Their backline has been consistent, just like ours, but we can’t win the game without possession.” He said the key for YMP would be restricting the Waikohu offloads with strong defence. Once Waikohu starts its roll-on and their passes start going to hand they are nearly impossible to stop, he said. Damien Macpherson will referee the game in his first full apperance since he was sidelined with an Achilles injury earlier in the season. BURSTING THROUGH: YMP’s Willis Tamatea is steady and in control of the ball in a recent match against HSOB.

NETBALL by Murray Robertson WAIKOHU and Whangara Old Girls carry the favourites tag into tomorrow’s second lot of games in the netball premiership and both should win well. The higher-seeded teams have been performing well and will be tough nuts to crack for their opposition. Similar scorelines to those produced in the first games at the YMCA on Wednesday night can be expected. YMP Sunshine Brewery and F45 High School Old Girls scored more than 100 goals overall in their matches against Gillies Electrical Gisborne Girls’ High School and Claydens Waikohu (3) on Wednesday. Claydens Waikohu (1) play their Pak’nSave competition game against Horouta Gold at 9am tomorrow. “Horouta played in the challenge round and recorded two close wins to keep them in the premier grade,” netball commentator Sherrill Beale said. “They come up against a Waikohu (1) team who are sitting second in the grade and have been playing some very good netball, so Horouta will need to bring their top game.” The second game — at 11am, when Whangara Old Girls meet premier-grade newcomers Tapuae — should be closer. “In the challenge games, Tapuae showed that they like to move the ball at speed, and their links through the court are working well,” Beale said. “They earned their move to premiers by beating Ritana and losing narrowly — by just three goals — to Horouta. “However, tomorrow they meet the team at the top of the grade, Whangara, who also like to move the ball at speed. “Whangara also work as a team on attack and defence. “I am expecting this to be a competitive game.” Both premier matches will be played at the YMCA. Last weekend all the senior grades played their challenge games and from those results there was some movement in grades. “All the grades were reseeded and they start Round 2 of the competition tomorrow,” Beale said. “The Victoria Domain courts will be busy from 9am through to 3pm, involving senior, AERIAL BALL CLAIMED: Whangara Old Girls goal keep Nadia Hohipa claims the ball under pressure from Horouta Gold goal shoot secondary, intermediate and Jahneia Kemp (left) and goal attack Lexi Rutene in a premier-grade game last month.
