Marist Weka will be hoping to go one better than last year when they meet Cogs RHL in the premier netball championship fi nal at Te Awamutu Netball courts on Saturday. The eagerly awaited playoff between the two most consistent teams in this year’s competition starts at 12.20pm. Marist Weka were runners-up last year to Col- lege Senior A. Semi-fi nals were played last Thursday night at ASB Bank Stadium at the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre. Diane Cox reports that Cogs RHL were still smarting from their loss the previous week when they took on Bailey Ingham Wanderers. They led by fi ve goals after the fi rst quarter and restricted Bailey Ingham Wanderers to scoring only seven goals in the second quarter and six in the third quarter. Without the Macky twins in their line-up and with Jane Forsythe under an injury cloud from the previous week, Cogs RHL slotted Kylie Chat- fi eld into the GS position - a move that paid off. Cogs RHL never looked under threat, running out the victors 52-39. In the other semi-fi nal, RSN kept Marist Weka fi rmly in their sights for the fi rst half, trailing by just four goals. Failure to score off their own centre pass and some indecisive defensive work in the goal circle proved to be their undoing in the second half. Marist Weka outscored them by eight goals in the third quarter, then cruised away to a 55-39 victory. Pirongia Meateaters were made to pay for a somewhat stilted start to their game against TAS Ecolab, going down 53-39. They trailed by 10 goals at the fi rst break and 11 goals at halftime. The tables were turned in the third quarter when Pirongia Meateaters caught TAS Ecolab napping but TAS Ecolab stepped up the pace in the fi nal quarter to win comfortably. The fourth game of the night was deferred due to College Senior A being away at the Upper North Island secondary schools’ tournament in Auckland. Saturday will see all other grades playing their last games of the season, with the following teams featuring in fi nals. Premier Reserve Grade: Cogs 2 v Pirongia AMP, 10.40am.

The fi rst year she stopped playing, she passed her New Zealand theory exam. Hills says the fi tness side of being an umpire is equally demanding as for a player. “Sure, we get breaks in play but there is certainly no mental let-up for the hour on court.” She describes umpiring as a sport of its own. “I enjoy seeing players play well and each side getting a fair chance of success - you need $ $ to keep fi t though and to keep in practice. 5995 3995 “One thing an umpire has to learn is to be a good judge of distance - one of the things spe- cactors and players get most hung up on.” TTownown & CountryCountry MMotorsotors Hills keeps fi t by doing a lot of walking with her 16-month-old son Braedon. 4411 LLyonyon SStreet,treet, KKihikihiihikihi NEW ZEALAND badge holder Ceri Hills umpiring She has to come through three beep tests a WWaikatoaikato LtdLtd at ASB Bank Stadium at the Trust Waikato Te year to retain her umpiring status and will be PPh:h: 0077 887171 88183183 Awamutu Events Centre. 2360615AD graded again at the start of next season.

236TC205/06 end of August and early September. This is a significant opportunity for the tribe and will have benefits for the local community for generations Waipa Community Arts Council to come. The Maniapoto Mãori Trust Board is working to encourage PO Box 116, Te Awamutu as many Maniapoto people as possible to participate. In September, a referendum will be held with voting forms circulated to all Maniapoto descendants over 18 years of age registered on the Maniapoto Mãori Trust Board register or who have identified as Maniapoto with Tühono. Final decisions on the mandated body to receive allocation on behalf of Ngãti Maniapoto are expected to be made after the results of the referendum are known in early October. The first step in this process is for Ngãti Maniapoto to select one of two options for a Mandated Iwi Organisation (MIO) to receive the settlement assets. Options will be presented at hui and in the voting information as part of the referendum. The key focus for the next two months is to ensure that Ngãti Maniapoto descendents understand the options and exercise their vote to decide the preferred entity.
