NICHOLAS BOYACK

Community gardener Julia Milne wants the Riverbank Market run as a community market and the Hutt City Coun- cil agrees that it is a good idea. Milne also wants a greater emphasis on local produce and a plastic bag free policy. Current operator Graham Hamilton should also be forced to do more to keep the area clean and keep rubbish out of the Hutt River, she said. But Hamilton denied there was a rubbish problem and said visitor numbers increased significantly after he began running it in October 2013. Since 2013 there have been 24 complaints made to the city Chilton Preschool council about the market.

NICHOLAS BOYACK

If you want to work out why the All Blacks dominate world rugby you can find the answer at schools like St Bernard’s College. Although it has only produced one All Black, the late John Dougan, St Bernard’s has produced players who have gone on to play club or first-class rugby. Teams such as the Hurricanes and All Blacks would not survive without the talent produced in schools throughout New Zealand. One of the curiosities of the game in New Zealand is that schoolboy rugby does not get the coverage it deserves. Former St Bernard’s player and coach Mark Keating has set about doing something about that by writing 70 Years of Rugby 1946 2016. The book contains a section on every year starting in 1946, when St Bernard’s was still a primary school. That year they sent two teams to play Marist Miramar in Wel- lington. In 1952 with the introduction of a third form, St Bernard’s College played its first game downing St Patricks Wellington 14-3. St Bernard’s fielded its first first fifteen in 1957. Their breakthrough year came in 1960 when they won the Marist Inoke Afeaki is arguably St Bernard’s most well known player.

CHELSEA MCLAUGHLIN

Gentiane Lupi has three children, works four jobs and fights in four different combat disciplines, but she’s adamant she still has time to sleep. Lupi heads to Singapore this week, where she will take on their top ranked fighter, Nurshahidah Roslie, for the World Boxing Association Oceania female super featherweight title. She will then come back home for 10 days of intense Muay Thai training before heading to Aust- ralia to take on the very tall, very experienced world champion Lucy Payne. She also won the World Muay Thai Council lightweight national belt, her eighth belt, in Sept- ember. Lupi says she is lucky to be able to train for both disciplines with coach Mark Hampton at Wel- lington’s Muay Thai Institute, but the switch is still difficult. ‘‘It’s pretty different training for both,’’ she says. It takes a few minutes to adjust back from one to the other: ‘‘You just get hit a bit more before you remember.’’ She has also fought in mixed martial arts and kickboxing. Lupi trains every day in the leadup to a fight, but says she usually will take the day as it comes. ‘‘I just train as much as I can around everything, I don’t plan Gentiane Lupi is heading to Singapore this week to fight for the World Boxing Association Oceania Title, then two weeks after that she will switch codes back to ahead too much.’’ Muay Thai to take on Australia’s top ranked fighter in Melbourne.

NICHOLAS BOYACK

Rachin Ravindra is a cricketing name to remember. The 16 year-old came to prominence at the Under 19 World Cup in Bangladesh in February. In a New Zealand team that performed poorly, Rachin, who had only just turned 16, was the top wicket taker and scored some handy runs. He was subsquently named the New Zealand Cricket’s Young Player of the Year. Rachin also helped Hutt Inter- national Boys win the highly prized Gillette Cup and at the national under 19 tournament, he scored 330 runs. Such is his prowess, Welling- ton Cricket gave him a dispen- sation to play club cricket for Hutt Districts as he attempts to earn selection for the Wellington Firebirds. His idol is another cricketer who made his name as a 16 year- old. ’’My batting idol is Sachin Tendulkar. I have modelled my game on him since I was very young.’’ Rachin is not letting success go to his head. Cricket, he said, could be a cruel game and you were only as good as your last innings. ‘‘I have had a pretty good year, obviously. But to be honest I am Rachin Ravindra is playing club cricket to try and break into the Firebirds.
