Te Awamutu Marathon Clinic spokesperson Pip Annan says the early morning frost, followed by rain, sunshine and more rain attributed to a considerably smaller than usual number of entries and slower times. Half marathon winner John Bowe’s time was nearly four minutes slower than he managed winning last year’s inaugural 21km event. The Karamu dairy farmer still fi nished well clear of his rivals in a time of 1.24.20.

The team’s leading goal scorer, striker Comp- ton Pikari is averaging four goals per game.
