Shaun Stevenson’s time with the Chiefs, through his mother’s eyes

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

It’s been a long journey for star fullback Shaun Stevenson, from meeting Chiefs staff at a petrol station to a potential Super Rugby Pacific title in his final game.

A head clash during the Chiefs’ recent semifinal win nearly got in the way, but he’s since been cleared to join the team as they chase their first championship since 2013.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

Poll: Have you tried this spot?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tucked in the heart of Matamata’s farming and industrial business area, Pepper Street Kitchen defies expectations.

The cafe is owned by contracting giant J Swap and located in their Matamata workshop. Originally it was set up just for employees about six years ago, but once word got out around town about the stellar food they switched to the commercial operation.
