Her enthusiasm at rowing regattas is legendary, so it was no surprise when her son Graham (pictured on front page) was named to compete in the 2005 Youth Cup she was keen to be there to cheer him on. The cost of the trip to Adelaide and a busy time on the farm were two major factors against her going to follow the New Zealand team. But, as they say ‘where there’s a will - there’s a way’.

He has gone from a delivery-based position at Sport Waikato to a sports management role - moving up in the sports business. But he is far from giving up on Touch. “I just want to keep my Touch involvement fun, not a 24/7 job.” He retains his roles on the Touch New Zealand board, Waikato Touch committee and assistant coach of this year’s Waikato open women’s team. Spranger took up the fulltime role at Waikato FC last Monday. He will be running just about everything for the franchise, other than coaching the third best side in last year’s national league. “I’m in it for the challenge,” he says. “I want to make sure Waikato FC have a competitive team on the pitch and build towards becoming the best football franchise in the country.” Sprangers takes over the reigns from Waikato FC chairman Keith Ward, who did the job on a part-time basis last season. It was Ward who, in fact, decided to ‘professionally advance the club’ by employing Sprangers to do it full time. Sprangers will work closely with Ward and team captain Che Bunce, who re-signed with the side last week after turning down an offer from 237TC012-05 Auckland City.
