WGTON LIONS TAKE KITTY

Michael from Trentham

Wellington Lions rugby team won the Bunnings NPC at Sky Stadium yesterday in fine style.
They deservedly beat Tauranga-based BOP in an extra time thriller

With almost half its starting players away with All Black duties, the Wellington team in the final will probably still have all its starting players and some bench players too n the 2025 Hurricanes Super Rugby squad apart from Julian Savea and Stephen Garden-Bachop who will be turing out for the Pacifica side.
Winger, Julian Savea who scored two block busting tries in the final first played for Wellington 14 years ago as a 20 year old
He certainly is playimg better just lately than he has for a few years.

And talkong of wingers. I said on Neighbourly a couple of months ago that the Hurricanes were in need for an extra speedy, side stepping wing for 2025 and a week or so ago its management announced the signing of a young Auckland player who finished the NPC championship proper as the top try scorer.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
