Congratulations to Waimak United 13th grade!

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The team of young footballers have been crowned the best in their grade in the South Island after a hard-fought battle in Queenstown.
They took out their grade's competition at the South Island Tournament during the October school holidays.

Coached by Grant Woolhouse and Wayne Lapslie, the squad of 16 played seven games with only one loss, a closely contested 0-1 against Nomads during pool play.

The grand final between Waimak and Nomads was a closely contested match. Neither team had managed to hit the back of the net by full time, with the score remaining 0-0, but penalty shootouts resulted in Waimak coming out with the win at 4-1.

Congratulations to the team and coaches whose hard work and training during the year brought home the winners' cup and the gold medals.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
