Another Hawke surf book surfaces

WELL KNOWN Sumner surfer

Nina Young (above) is among

many local surfers and identities

in a new Warren Hawke (inset)

book.

NZ Surf: The Collection – Vol

1 takes an in-depth look at Scarborough

Beach with its specialist

Malibu-style waves, surfing

personalities, local board riding

clubs and the international surfing

event, The Single Fin Mingle.

There’s an interview with event

co-founder Ambrose McNeill,

who talks in detail about the

philosophy behind the competition

and just how wonderful it

is to bring a world class group of

international surfers to Sumner

for a week each year.

Surf coach, musician and

graphic design artist, Brad

King, discusses his design work

behind ‘The Mingle’ posters and

stickers.

He admits that the greatest

thing for him has been taking up

long boarding and having fun in

the waves.

This is Mr Hawke’s second

surfing book. Artist Josh O’Rourke

completed the design and

layout – a massive task as the

book contains more than 500

photos and 60,000 words.

Freedom

campers

ignore

fines

• By Sarla Donovan

BANKS Peninsula Community

Board members have been told

almost half of freedom campers

don’t pay their fines.

One hundred and twenty

freedom campers were ticketed

for breaking freedom camping

bylaws in Canterbury over the

past year.

Only 55 percent of those tickets

were paid, according to city

council staff.

City council head of regulatory

compliance Tracey Weston

addressed community concerns

around freedom camping at a

Banks Peninsula Community

Board meeting on Monday.

Ms Weston said fully self-contained

camper vans parking at

Naval Point in Lyttelton, the

Akaroa Sports Complex, the

Akaroa Yacht Club and the

Akaroa Lighthouse weren’t

breaking the law, provided they

only stayed for two days.

She said there was nothing to

stop the vans parking there all

day, as there were currently no

time restrictions on parking,

such as a P60 constraint.

At Childrens Bay, however,

freedom camping was prohibited.

FROM

THE

EDITOR’S

DESK

THERE’S ANOTHER Warren

Hawke surf book for the coffee

table this Christmas.

The evergreen photographer has

just published another gem, full

of surfers and other local surfing

tidbits (see page 1).

It takes an in-depth look at

Scarborough Beach with its specialist

Malibu-style waves, surfing

personalities, local board riding

clubs and the international surfing

event, The Single Fin Mingle.

New Brighton, Waikuku and

a secret bay on Banks Peninsula

also feature. The bay hasn’t been

named in the book. Hawke said he

wants to keep it for the surfers who

know how good it is.

Not a bad idea on page 3 – a

shuttle service between Diamond

Harbour and Church Bay to ferry

ferry users to the ferry.

It’s the brainchild of a high

school student who lives in the

area.

Shuttle idea to link

responded to the survey, with

place.

Scarborough Beach.

Another Hawke book

comes to the surface

•From page 1

Other local breaks to feature

include New Brighton, Waikuku

and a bay on Banks Peninsula.

Taylors Mistake is also present

in the introductory section,

which shows photos from about

30 years ago.

The collection has a broad

coverage of New Zealand surfing

areas, surfing artists, surf champions

and breaks.

“It’s actually quite unique in the

surfing world as far as surf publications

go,” said Mr Hawke.

“We wanted it to seem like

there was a new adventure over

every page. For this reason, I’ve

included the work of some of

New Zealand’s top surf photographers

to add greater depth and

variety.”

The book has a limited print

run with the plan being to sell it

out and not reprint. “We’d like

to have a new collection out in

two years’ time, something we’ve

already started to plan and gather

new material for,” Mr Hawke

said.

• By Sarla Donovan

A SHIFT towards evaluating

properties for individual climate

change risk may mean insurance

premiums will rise on coastal

properties.

An updated Tonkin and Taylor

report on coastal hazards released

last week showed close to 25,000

Christchurch houses are at risk of

future coastal flooding and 1000

are at risk from coastal erosion.

In a worst-case climate change

scenario, flooding could affect the

coastal city and Banks Peninsula

properties within the next 50 to

100 years, the report said.

Insurance Council chief

executive Tim Grafton said

climate change was a certainty.

“Sea level will rise and the

frequency of extreme weather

events will increase.”

Mr Grafton said each insurer

would take a different approach to

risk, depending on the frequency

and consequences of flooding.

“With respect to climate

change, the price signals are likely

to be incremental changes over

time, rather than swift and rapid

change. There is therefore time for

a range of adaptation measures

that make economic sense to be

considered which

. . . enable the transfer of risk to

insurance to remain affordable

and accessible.”

Some properties could become

uninsurable if they flooded with

high frequency, Mr Grafton said.

“They become less insurable as it

becomes more certain that they

will flood.”

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi

Sea level rise could affect insurance

He said New Zealand was

unusual in offering all-perils

cover house insurance. “In

many other countries, flood is

an optional add-on to house

insurance policies, so flood risk is

separately priced.”

OUTSPOKEN: Christchurch

Coastal Residents United

spokesman Darrell Latham

says climate change is a

national responsibility.

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER

Redcliffs resident and Ray

White Ferrymead salesman,

Mark Roberts, said insurance

companies will always try to

mitigate risk.

“At the end of the day, people

love being by the ocean. They will

make decisions (about a property)

based on the statistics they get

and the risk profile.”

Last week’s report is an update

of Tonkin and Taylor’s widelycriticised

2015 report suggesting

18,000 properties were at risk of

flooding and 6000 susceptible to

erosion.

The 2015 report was criticised

as being scientifically flawed,

leading to the updated 2017

version.

Christchurch Coastal Residents

United spokesman Darrell

Latham said climate change was

a national responsibility, not

just the responsibility of coastal

communities or local councils.

“Mitigation and compensation

must be part of the conversation,”

he said.

Exquisitely written, Oxygen is a mind-altering and immersive

coming-of-age story about a boy who grew up on a sailing boat,

with the sea his classroom and playground. It is about fighting

confessions of self-doubt in her journals, and heartbreaking letters

to and from her mother, she gives evidence to all that made it

both unlikely and inevitable that she would become a writer.

Through spontaneous storytelling, she shows how a fluid fictional

state of mind unleashed near-forgotten memories that became

the emotional nucleus of her novels. Supplied with candor and

characteristic humor, Where the Past Begins takes readers into the

idiosyncratic workings of her writer’s mind, a journey that explores

memory, imagination, and truth, with fiction serving as both her

THE WHEELS are in motion

for the redevelopment of the

Lyttelton skate park.

Funded primarily by the city

council – with some financial

support from South Port in

Bluff – work is under way on the

popular skate park at the Oxford

St Reserve.

The $375,000 site upgrade

is expected to be completed

by January. In the meantime,

the area remains closed to the

public.

When completed, it will feature

a new bowl, a quarter pipe,

ramps, multiple features, rails

and edges, and a fresh “side-toside

flow.”

It has been designed with the

beginner to intermediate skateboarder

in mind. “The project

began as earthquake repairs

to the heritage retaining walls

adjacent to the skate park and

playground,” city council project

manager Jon Malis said.

“However, our engineers

found that the concrete skate

park features aided the wall stability,

so the skate park redesign

was included in the project.”

As part of the skate park project,

local artists – funded by the

YMCA – are creating murals at

the reserve.

“A donation from South Port

was earmarked for earthquake

recovery that supports Lyttelton

youth,” Mr Malis said.

memorial

garden plots

A NEW eco-burial site will open

within the Diamond Harbour

Memorial Gardens cemetery

tomorrow.

This is the first eco-burial site

to open in the Christchurch and

Banks Peninsula area.

Described as a more environmentally

friendly process than

other methods, eco-burials involve

a shallower plot within the living

soil level. The body is not embalmed,

but is dressed in natural,

biodegradable materials and the

coffin or shroud is also biodegradable

and non-toxic.

Plots are filled with living soil

and, within a year, are planted

over with native trees and shrubs,

so the whole area will eventually

resemble regenerated New Zealand

forest.

Families of those buried in the

area will be able to take part in

planting over the plots. A group

has been working with the city

council to establish the eco-burial

site, with the overall aim to eventually

make eco-burials an option

for all Christchurch residents.

Tomorrow’s opening will take

place at the cemetery at 2pm.

Hall to open

after $600k

repair job

ALLANDALE HALL will reopen

on December 4 after a $600,000

repair job.

The hall has been closed after

sustaining damage in the February

22, 2011, earthquake.

Repairs began in May, including

demolition of the north hall,

removal of concrete slabs at the rear,

earthquake repairs and strengthening,

electrical wiring and painting.

It was originally budgeted at

$300,000, but the extent of the damage

meant the cost doubled over the

time of the repair. The building will

have new weatherboards installed to

give i an original look.

The hall dates from 1896 and has

capacity for about 250 people. It’s

one of three venues around the harbour

basin that can handle larger

groups.

Allandale Reserve Management

Committee chairman Stuart Bould

said it would be a “great place” once

all the repairs had been completed.

“It’s been a long time coming.” Allandale

Domain has always been

an area where people meet up, Mr

Bould said.

It was a key staging post in the

late 1800s for people travelling over

Gebbies Pass or to Port Levy.

No dog park for Lyttelton

AFTER A year-long search,

city council staff say there is no

suitable space for a dog park in

the Lyttelton area.

In August last year,

the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert

Community Board asked staff

to investigate possible sites for a

dedicated dog exercise area.

But on Monday, city council

parks and recreation planner

Megan Carpenter told a

meeting of the Banks Peninsula

Community Board that all

council-owned parks had been

considered and none had space

for dedicated dog walking.

Board chairwoman Christine

Wilson said many people

walked their dogs at the

Lyttelton Recreation Ground,

where they were allowed on a

leash. But she said some owners

let their dogs off.

“We’ve had young people

falling over in dog muck. It’s

not a good look.”

Ms Carpenter said there may

be a need for more rangers to

visit to ensure people complied

with the regulations.

She said there was a high

demand for open spaces in

Lyttelton and the best option

could be putting a dog park

nearby.

She said consideration could

be given to investigating a

suitable site outside the Banks

Fire rages, homes at risk

Peninsula Ward area, such as

Birdsey Reserve, which is 3km

from Lyttelton, or the failed

Christchurch Maori Village site

at Ferrymead.

City councillor Yani Johanson

last month asked city council

staff to prepare a report on

whether the Ferrymead site

could be used as a dog exercise

area.

Chateris Bay

stormwater

causes a

stink

A water and wastewater scheme

in Charteris Bay is creating

major problems, the Banks

Peninsula Community Board has

been told.

On Monday, Charteris Bay

Residents’ Association secretary

Bill Studholme told the board the

scheme was a real issue.

“It’s not quite finished and is

causing quite major problems,”

he said.

The issues included stormwater

run-off, damage to Bayview Rd

and Paradise Beach and an unpleasant

“stench” coming from

wastewater pipes.

The board is seeking an urgent

solution from city council staff

before the end of the month.

Staff have been asked to report

on the status of the gravity-fed

wastewater system and why

there has been a low uptake from

residents. They will also look into

the adequacy of the stormwater

system in Bayview Rd and the

safety of the Paradise Beach

track, which has been subject to

erosion as a result of stormwater

run-off.

They report back on the issues

raised at the next board meeting

on November 27.

We said:

An overall of traffic light

phasing at the St Andrews

Hill intersection is planned

You said:

Stephen Graham – I’ve

never had an issue with this

intersection. I find it quite easy.

But like St Asaph St, banning

incompetent drivers will help

a lot.

Ben Venzy Venz – Maybe it

would have been a good idea to

do it right in the first place. God

this council knows how to waste

money.

Brigid Wilkinson – Will

believe it when it actually happens.

Cathryn Lucy – The damn

intersection was almost better

before this happened.

Paul Monk – I drive

through it daily and never have

an issue. I just wonder who it is

that has a problem with it.

We said:

Little River’s ageing fire

tanker won’t be replaced

this summer

You said:

Romy Forrer – Interesting

decision . . . as I gaze up at the

giant brown patch on the Port

Hills after last year’s fires.

Now

Fire rages, homes at risk

Julie Knowles – That’s

bloody great. Are they going to

run up there with buckets of

water?

Jed Knight – Wouldn’t

expect much else from the city

council. They seem to be busy

making well thought out plans.

Our People

Eugenie Sage

Green voice in Government

Eugenie Sage is one of four Green Party MPs to

hold ministerial portfolios in the new Government.

Bridget Rutherford spoke to her about politics

and living in Diamond Harbour

So you’re the new minister

of conservation, minister of

land information and associate

minister for the environment.

How does that feel?

I’m really delighted and

humbled to have all three. The

election campaign and aftermath

had been quite noisy – there was

a lot we found out at the same

time as the rest of New Zealand

when the Rt. Hon Deputy Prime

Minister Winston Peters announced

it. Then, 10min later,

we had a party teleconference to

actually agree to go into Government.

I was very pleasantly

surprised. Being involved in

negotiations, I was incredibly

proud of the way the Green Party

organised to have that massive

teleconference with delegates to

make the decision we’d be part

of the new Government. There

were a lot of discussions considering

it is historic; it’s the first

time the Greens have been in

Parliament in our 21 years. It was

an intensive effort by all three

parties to examine each other’s

policies, look at where common

ground was, and prioritise.

Did you expect Mr Peters to

make the decision he did?

No, I didn’t know which way it

would go.

What will your new

ministerial positions consist of?

We’ve got a biodiversity crisis

in New Zealand. About 3000

species are at risk of extinction.

We need to do much better in

protecting native plants and

animals and the places they live

so these species can thrive. We’ve

got an international responsibility

to do that because so many

are only here in New Zealand.

Our natural landscapes, wildlife

and special places around

Aotearoa are vitally important

to tourism – they are what bring

tourists here and market our

product overseas. The Green

Party campaigned for a change

of Government to make that

‘100% Pure’ image real – to give

it some integrity. We’ve got a real

responsibility to deliver on that

promise.

Does that bring pressure?

Yes, but it is exciting, though,

because voters have given us a

mandate.

What’s your favourite

animal?

The bellbird I hear at home

because of their call, the kea

and the robust grasshopper in

the Mackenzie Basin. It’s grey

so it’s difficult to see. We’ve got

an amazing insect fauna in New

Zealand that people tend to

overlook. I like the longfin eel

because they’ve got an incredible

life story. They can live to

80-years-old. They live in Te

Waihora/Lake Ellesmere then

they migrate and swim offshore

to Tonga where they spawn and

die. Then the glass eels drift back

through the current and come

back to New Zealand. It is an

astonishing life cycle. We’ve got

a responsibility to protect them,

and that’s another of the priorities,

particularly making sure the

Treaty of Waitangi is properly

implemented through the management

of things like forestry,

fisheries and waterways.

What do you like to do in

your spare time?

I like walking, I do a bit of

mountain biking on back roads,

and even just going from home

in Diamond Harbour around to

Lyttelton, then catching the ferry

back across. I like going up onto

the Port Hills. I used to do a lot

of tramping, which I haven’t had

much time for recently. I love the

high country in the South Island

like the upper Rakaia, Ashburton

Lakes, Arthur’s Pass and Mt

White. They are extraordinary

AT HOME: Eugenie Sage on the Balmacaan Saddle in Hakatere/

Ashburton Lakes.

spaces – that’s what makes my

heart sing. For many, it’s walking

along the beach looking out to

sea. Making sure all kids get the

opportunity to grow up with

nature, that’s what inspired me. I

grew up in Auckland, with three

siblings, and we used to play a lot

in the outdoors.

I think back to summer holidays

at Rotorua Lakes and we

were able to go off early and play

and wouldn’t come back until

dinner at night. For families that

can afford it, there’s still that opportunity.

But there are kids who

haven’t been to the beach in New

Zealand, and that’s a tragedy.

What brought you to

Christchurch?

Family commitments – my

partner Richard was down here.

I also studied at Canterbury

University and in Auckland.

When did you first get into

politics?

I was involved in student

politics at university. I edited

Craccum, the student magazine,

at the University of Auckland. I

got into environmental protesting;

I protested against the first

McDonald’s in New Zealand on

Queen St. I did some work for

the precursor to the Department

of Conservation on the West

Coast.

I was exposed to the destruction

of native forest for logging

– these magnificent rimu forests

near Hokitika. I was just in

tears wandering through these

areas, seeing nature’s cathedral

being utterly trashed. I worked

for Forest and Bird between the

mid-1990s through to 2010 at the

time of the Timberlands beech

logging scheme. A Labour Government

stopped the scheme and

transferred the land to DOC and

it has been invaluable since. It

just showed the power of public

mobilisation to protect our rain

forest.

What are you most proud of?

That and the work for Forest

and Bird using the Resource

Management Act to have

stronger controls on indigenous

vegetation clearance and the

work on tenure reviews.

What were you doing before

you got into politics?

I did a law and history degree

at Auckland, and then studied

journalism at Canterbury University.

The law degree has been

really useful in not being scared

of legislation.

What do you think of Prime

Minister Jacinda Ardern?

Jacinda Ardern will be an outstanding

prime minister through

her leadership skills, analytical

skills and her empathy. It’s totally

genuine.

Why did you move to

Diamond Harbour?

When I stood for Environment

Canterbury, I said I would

move in if elected. In 2010, as it

was coming up to elections, the

former Minister for the Environment

Nick Smith and Local

Government Minister Rodney

Hide decided to axe 14 elected

councillors and installed commissioners.

The only time I have

felt welcome in ECan since then

was when the people occupied

the building in September. That’s

a priority, restoring democracy.

What do you like about living

there?

It’s on the base of Mt Herbert,

and being in the harbour you’re

basically looking across to dramatic

cliffs. It’s our volcanic heritage.

And it’s the people in the

community, they support each

other. It’s the same in Lyttelton.

Do you have any pets?

I used to have two cats, but

that was about 10 years ago. Living

in a place with bellbirds and

kereru, I appreciate seeing and

hearing them.

raises a toast to the club’s renovation which is now

underway. PHOTOS: GILBERT WEALLEANS AND

MARTIN HUNTER

Bringing Lyttelton Club back to life

• By Sarla Donovan

THE LYTTELTON Club, also

known as the TOP Club, is

getting a makeover.

Work started last week

on fixing and painting the

outside of the club, the first

stage of a thorough spruce-up

which club president Steve

Targus hopes will transform

its fortunes.

Mr Targus won’t say how

much the renovation is costing,

but it is expected to take

four to six months.

The club will stay open

throughout the work. Some of

the changes include gutting

the sports hall, redesigning

and refitting the sports bar,

repainting and reflooring.

The once-thriving club is

perched above the harbour on

Dublin St. Anyone can join for

$10 a year. It boasts incredible

views of the harbour, well

priced drinks and home-style

cooking.

So why isn’t it busier?

Back in the heyday of the

1970s and 80s, it was the social

hub of Lyttelton, hosting

dances and parties. Sports

teams met there after games

and it was a lively, busy place.

But in recent years, the club

has struggled to find a place

for itself, in spite of a brief

renaissance following the

February 22, 2011, earthquake,

when it was the first place in

Lyttelton to reopen.

When Mr Targus mooted a

name change on social media

recently, it prompted some

wry comments.

Said one comment: “What’s

wrong with ‘Lamb and Hayward

Waiting Room?’”

Another rather unkindly

said it was the “Lyttelton Retirement

Home”.

All of them suggest the

Lyttelton Club has a bit of an

image problem. However, Mr

Targus is hoping the planned

renovations will help turn

around the club’s fortunes.

He wants it to become the

social centre of the community

again.

Long-time club member

Kirsty Macnab is positive

about the club’s future.

“It’s got a good heart and

a great future. Lots of young

people are becoming active

club members now; Lyttelton

has gentrified a bit and part of

the repair is to make it more

appealing (to that group.)”

“I want it to be a warm and

welcoming place where all

sorts of people can come in

and enjoy themselves.”

Christchurch’s new Memorial Avenue Gateway Bridge

is open to traffic but we are not finished yet!

There will be speed restrictions and other traffic management on and around the bridge

over the next few months while the project team lay the final road surface and carry out

other work to complete the Russley Road Upgrade.

Please drive with extra care and pay close attention to the signage to ensure you are in

the correct lane to get to your destination. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Community shed plan for

old Heathcote library site

A NEW community shed

planned for Heathcote

could go on the former

library site at 8 Martindales

Rd.

Heathcote Valley

Community Association

committee member

Jackie Foulkes said a survey

showed most residents

favoured the site as it was

easily accessible, close to

the community centre and

central to walk to.

The former library was

demolished following

the February 22, 2011,

earthquake, and the site is

currently vacant.

City council staff are

looking into the suitability

of the location and will report

back to the Linwood-

Central-Heathcote Community

Board.

Local resident Keith

Jenkins is behind the shed

idea.

He’s organised a public

meeting to discuss the

setting up of the shed, and

to answer questions from

interested parties.

A regional representative

of the New Zealand Menz

Shed executive will be present

to explain how various

styles of shed perform.

The meeting is set to take

place on Tuesday, 6.30-

8.30pm, at the Heathcote

MARKET: The Stress Busters (above) and Crafty Creations were two of the

Mt Pleasant School groups to pitch ideas in the Dragons Den.

Mt Pleasant pupils start market

YEAR 5 and 6 pupils at Mt

Pleasant School have been

developing products for a

student-run market day.

As part of the process, the

school held a Dragons Den

session, which featured a

couple of staff members as

well as parents.

Groups were given the

opportunity to pitch their

ideas for the market day,

which will be held on

Thursday, December 7. It was

an interesting and challenging

activity for all involved, with

plenty of learnings taking

place.

Some groups had their

initial ideas successfully

approved, while others had to

make some adjustments before

receiving the green light to

proceed.

A member of the Crafty

Creations group, Grace, wrote

about the experience.

“We had to work hard to

come up with an idea and

a pitch to the Dragons Den,

which included Mr Nord,

Cathy, Belinda Barclay and

Jordana Clarke. Pretty scary!

While coming up with

our pitch, we had to make

a colourful eye catching

poster that consisted of what

materials we needed for our

product, what you used it for,

how much we planned to sell

it for, and what will be the

end profit after paying back

our borrowed $75. While

deciding on our products

and making our poster,

we needed to remember to

display a couple of learner

profiles and attitudes, such

as being co-operative, openminded,

creative, confident

and a committed part of your

group.”

Sumner players stay in

shape on sevens field

• By Gordon Findlater

A NUMBER of Sumner Rugby

Club players have been keeping

in shape over the off-season by

competing in the Spring Sevens

Cup at Hoon Hay Park.

The cup was held over three

weekends, with each weekend

contested as its own tournament.

Sumner had mixed results

over the three tournaments and

were runners-up in the shield

final on Saturday. The team lost

all three of their pool games to

University 17-19, Prebbleton

7-27, and Shirley 7-42.

They then prevailed against

Lyttelton 28-14 in the shield

semi-final to qualify for the

final against Belfast. The game

went down to the final whistle,

with Sumner fighting back from

a deficit. However, it wasn’t

enough, eventually going down

24-29. The Sumner sevens side

was made up from several of the

club’s 15-man teams, including

the division one, division two

and colts sides.

The players that turned out

for Sumner at Hoon Hay Park

will now get a well earned rest

leading up to Christmas before

pre-season training starts in

January.

Local plumbers offering

free checks on clay pipes

While it is now almost seven years since the

Christchurch earthquakes, damage to underground

pipes is still becoming apparent, says

the team at Laser Plumbing Christchurch

East, who are based in Ferrymead.

As they point out, homeowners can

be completely unaware that they have

earthquake damage to their clay pipes.

Properties built before the 1970s are

most likely to have clay pipes, and

cracks in the pipes allow tree roots to

enter and block drains. The damage can

take some time to become apparent

but when it does, it is usually fairly

major, and costly to repair.

Specialists in drain-laying and plumbing,

Laser Plumbing are currently offering a

free check on pipes. This involves a quick look with a

camera, and if any damage is found they will discuss

this with the owner. Laser Plumbing are experts in

dealing with EQC and know how

to make the process easy. The next

step is to provide

a drainage survey

report to EQC, who

in most cases, will

cover the cost of this

as well as replacing

the damaged pipes.

There are some

conditions, which

Laser Plumbing will

discuss with the

homeowner.

“We have done hundreds of surveys

and have been installing a lot of

replacement PVC pipes over recent

years,” says Carol McCann, who owns the

company with her husband Chris Dick.

“We want to make it easy for people by

offering the check at no cost, and we

urge people to get their pipes checked

sooner rather than later as we do not

know how long EQC will cover repairs for

home-owners. Having them replaced will

avoid serious problems in the future. It’s

all done with minimum fuss.”

Located in Tussock Lane, Ferrymead,

Laser Plumbing services customers right

across the city. They are very proud of

their team of qualified tradesmen, who

carry out plumbing and drainage work

with care and efficiency. They are the sort

of guys that you would be happy to have

working in and around your home, Carol says.

To make an appointment for your free pipe check,

phone them today on 376 5322.

A QUICK fire 74 from Dan Vann

saw Sumner end a two-game losing

streak and keep their title hopes

alive in the Metro Senior A oneday

competition.

The Sumner stalwart blasted 74

off just 67 deliveries, as wickets fell

around him, to get his side through

to a first innings total of 160 in

their 15-run victory over New

Brighton at St Leonards Square on

Saturday.

Sumner struggled to put together

any partnerships of substance

with only two batsman in the top

six – Ethan Vickery (24) and Paul

Russell (13) – managing to reach

double figures.

Batting at number seven, Vann

came in with the score at 59/5, and

quickly set about his work dispatching

12 boundaries on his way

to 74 before being the final man to

fall in the 43rd over.

Vann was well supported by No

9 Scott Barber who chipped in with

12 but, more importantly, saw out

42 balls as he and Vann put on 41-

run eighth wicket partnership.

Sumner’s second inning defence

got off to the perfect start when

Tim Gooday took the wicket

of New Brighton opener Wade

Burrell with just the third ball of

the innings. Gooday struck twice
