Father’s Day should by rights be Dad’s best chance of a Sunday sleep-in, but it seldom happens that way. WHEELS In Germany for instance, Dad is likely to be hauled out of bed on their Vatertag (Father’s Day) for a hike, some wagon hauling and, although we probably shouldn’t mention it, drinking. It’s a German country tradition that began in the 18th century when Dads were brought on wooden carts to the village centre and the father with the biggest family awarded a prize, such as a leg of ham. We’re not told what the mother of all those children thought of it. St Joseph’s Day (March 19) has been celebrated by the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages – Today’s generation of fathers are more likely to share in the this date is still observed as everyday family upbringing rather than the ‘always at work’ Father’s Day by some countries. dad.

The All Stars Brothers are in the running for Manurewa Marlins Rugby League Club’s junior team of the year. They’ll be a hard to act to upstage come prize giving after winning Auckland Rugby League’s under-14 open title. They beat Mt Albert Lions 11-0 in the grand final at Mt Smart Stadium becoming the only team from the Marlins to win a title this year. It was a victory the Keu Mataro and Brendan Leatau coached All Stars had been plot- ting since the final whistle of last year’s grand final, a game they lost. Mataro says the players were crushed by that defeat and were determined to make amends this year. ‘‘They’ve finally got the monkey off their backs. They were a really disappointed bunch after last year’s final and it’s that disappointment which drove them this season. ‘‘They’re a tightly knit group and are like brothers on and off the field. They’ve been together since they were 10 year olds and are familiar with each others’ game. It’s what makes them tick. Brendan has been a big part of their growth.’’ The Mangere East Hawks and the Otahuhu Leopards were the two other south Auckland clubs to win premierships. Mangere East Boyz won the under-16 open championship with a heart stopping 31-30 win over the Leopards and Mangere East Polytama Hawks squeezed past the Leopards 20-18. Hawks president Tasha Tasmania says the club is proud of the achievements of their two premiership winning teams. Otahuhu’s sole title was in the under-16s where they beat Ellers- lie 22-14. The Manurewa All Stars Brothers, the under-14 open rugby league champions of Auckland. stuff.co.nz AUGUST 30, 2016, MANUKAU COURIER 23 LOCALJOBS Less travel time | More quality time | A better lifestyle Situations Vacant
