PIRATE SISTERS: With fists full of silver these two young pirates had a great day in the sand at the annual Beach Dig on Saturday. Crystal and Destiny Hodgetts were part of the 1500 strong crowd who dug for treasure at the event at Churchill Park, and among the 30 who dressed up in pirate costume. More than $3500 was raised for the Gisborne Wainui Lions Club to go towards the charitable and volunteer organisations they support.

THIRD IN NORTH ISLAND: Gisborne speedway saloon car racer Daniel Cook (77G) finished third in the North Island saloon championships in Wellington. He was first-equal with two other drivers after the two qualifying heats and started from near the front of the grid in the 20-lap final. “I was rapt to be able to make the podium again,” Cook said. He won the title last season. “It was a full- on night on a really tough track.
