Davies Homes unveil More than 70 clients and guests turned out to the launch of Davies Homes Show Home last week to celebrate the new initiative that will take the company into the future. Business owners Daniel and Amy Davies then hosted more than 100 people through the home over the weekend and say already it has generated a huge interest in their design and construction techniques. It is the first time Davies Homes has built a dedicated show home, an investment the Davies will use to showcase their approach to building homes for Kiwis. The 133 Meddings Crescent property is their take on a modern family home at an affordable price. It is an easy care property, with a range of stunning features and offering four bedrooms (or three bedrooms and a den or large office), formal lounge, open plan kitchen, dining and family room, plenty of storage, ensuite master suite and indoor/outdoor flow — and a stunning rural aspect. Daniel also uses sustainable timber products and has added ceiling design features, a wood burner as well as a heat pump — plus the latest Rylock trackless doors — to give the home some unique and homely appeal. Daniel designed the home and with Amy, his senior builder Gregg Hughes and his trusted sub-contractors set about making it a showcase of quality at an affordable cost. We picked the materials, fittings, colours and furnishings to best reflect our abilities and skills,’’ says Daniel. Gregg adds that the show home was an opportunity for the Davies 7775802AA Homes team to ‘unleash their talents’.

All Blacks legend Wayne (Buck) Shelford was presented with an All Blacks coin on Tuesday, just released by New Zealand Post. Shelford was delighted to receive the ‘Number 8’ one dollar coin. On the tails side of the 2011 All Blacks Coin the silver fern is blacked out with the exception of the one dollar denomination and the official All Blacks logo, both shining through in pure silver. James Te Puni from New Zealand Post said the coin was created in honour of New Zealand’s inspirational national rugby team, and released at a significant point in history as the count down to one of the biggest years for the All Blacks and New Zealand begins. “This coin release pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the TC211010SP18 All Blacks.

7765179AA www.guthriebowron.co.nz TE AWAMUTU COURIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2010 21 Otorohanga snatch victory Left-arm Chinaman bowler impresses

BY COLIN THORSEN

Otorohanga stole victory from 7765474AA the jaws of defeat with a last wicket stand of 44 against Te Awamutu Sports Green in Wai- kato Valley 50 over cricket competition. The home team looked to be staring down the barrel of a first round loss after losing their ninth wicket with 225 runs on the board, chasing the Green team’s formid- able 268/7. But the home team had two players batting at 10 and 11 cap- able of commanding much higher spots in the line-up — former Northern Districts and Midlands age group representative Hone Wanden and the vastly experienced Barry Elsmore. Requiring only three runs per over, the last pair kept cool heads hitting the ball into the gaps and running well between the wickets to get their home team to a thrilling victory with one over to spare. The winning run came as something of an anti climax, cour- tesy of a wide, but it didn’t matter a damn to the Otorohanga players and their supporters who went on a merry victory dance. Otorohanga appear to have recruited a fine opening batting acquisition in age group rep Nick Gilbert. The 17-year-old got his team off to a brisk start, featuring in an opening stand of 100 with young Ricky Palacio, who spent our winter playing cricket in the northern hemisphere. Palacio made 29, while Gilbert was dismissed three short of what would have been a deserving century. His knock was laced with nine fours and three sixes.

Best of the Te Awamutu Sports 7765480AA Green bowlers was 18-year-old Cameron Forsman.
