What a great effort! How do you think our Southlander youngsters went at the Colgate Games this year? Did you know anyone who competed? How did they go?
Southland youngsters got more than just medals after returning from the South Island Colgate Games this week.
Athletics Southland vice-chairman of the track and field committee Phil Hartley said the children all got on well, both in their sports and in their sportsmanship, some making new friends at the weekend.
Southland athletes bagged 30 medals overall with many others close to getting a place or scoring personal bests, he said.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
