PAPANUI TIGERS’ pitcher
Brittany Terrey’s talents are
taking her all over the world.
The 18-year-old will represent
New Zealand at the under-19
level at the Canada Cup in July
before taking up a two-year
scholarship at Indian Hills Community
College in Iowa.
Terrey has played for the Tigers
since she first played teeball as a
young child.
Her mother, father and grandfather
were all pitchers, and once
she was a teenager, Terrey added
to that legacy.
“It’s definitely an art learning
how to pitch and control your
command on the mound,” she
said.
The Junior White Sox member
has been clocked at 102km/h for
her fast ball while her curve ball
is about 60km/h.
Terrey said she learnt a lot
from her trip to Florida for the
world championships with the
junior White Sox team last year
but admitted she found the step
up challenging.
“Compared to club softball
here, the margins were a lot less
and the skill of some of some of
the other international players
made me step up my performance,”
she said.
Terrey said she wants to win a

“I’m happy to get into any
games and contribute to the
team, but I want to be a starter.”
She said she hoped her past
experience with national agegroup
squads would hold her in
good stead.
The event will run from July 13
to 23 in Surrey, British Columbia,
and provides a platform for
players to compete on the international
stage in advance of next
year’s under-19 women’s World
Cup in Irvine, California.
The Canada Cup offers three
divisions in which federations,
colleges and clubs can compete.

Hidden treasures, right
in the centre of Riccarton
Natural Attraction Antiques and
Treasure started life as a hair salon
(Natural Attraction Hair Stylists)
over 30 years ago and has gradually
transitioned over to an antique shop
with four registered dealers - Sue, Geoff,
Steve and Uma – providing expertise
and unique things. Part of its ongoing
charm is that two of the dealers are still
also hairdressers so some days you will
find clients having their hair done in the
salon section of the shop while others
are browsing the eclectic displays of
jewellery, curios, fabrics and porcelain.
They cover a wide range of traditional
antiques, decorative items and plenty
of interesting collectables making it the
perfect place if you want a special gift
for any occasion or have been searching
for that piece to complete a collection.
Prices are reasonable and range from
$5-$500 with new stock brought in
every week. If they don’t have what you
are looking for, they are always happy
to try and source specific pieces, taking
their treasure-hunt far and wide. You
can also try their main shop, The Ferry
Antique Centre at 282 Ferry Road,
Waltham.
Located at the Windmill Centre, 184
Clarence Street, there is easy parking at
the door and the shop is near to the wellknown
“Ed Hopper” coffee shop - they
recommend that customers check out
the coffees and legendary date scones.
