Wairarapa Koru 1, the weather 4!
Typical spring weather got in the way to spoil many Wairarapa senior sports over the weekend. All three Giants’ games were cancelled and the much anticipated Coastal Challenge cricket against the two local teams Red Star Lansdowne (vs) Greytown had to be abandoned when the rain started falling after about 25mins of play. That was a bit of a shame because the forecast heavy rain never eventuated and the weather cleared to be quite a nice afternoon. Everyone scrambles to get th
Golf Croquet Interclub Series
Masterton Croquet Club can’t quite find the form that led them to win last year’s Central Districts Golf Croquet Interclub series, and find themselves at the bottom of the table after losing their latest games against Levin at Queen Elizabeth Park on Thursday.

Wairarapa Bush could have been better
OPINION ‘It should of been a whole lot better’ is how I would describe Wairarapa Bush’s performance in this year’s Heartland Championship. Having watched every home game and read all the reports and comments from their away games, my opinion is that they definitely had the individual skills, the pace, the strength and often the hunger to do a lot better, however they often seemed to lack the ability to work as a complete unit, were guilty of switching off every now and then,
A chat with Mike van Woerkom
I sat down with Dalefield and Wairarapa men’s hockey manager Mike van Woerkom with a cup of tea and some delicious home-made cinnamon pinwheels (thanks Carol) to chat about Dalefield’s season, the great result for Wairarapa at the recent National Hockey Championships, and his involvement with hockey in general.
