CAFES NEW & COMING
People living in Upper Hutt esp in Trentham/Wallaceville will have three new public-welcoming cafes to sip their fav coffee and eat a delightful cake while soaking in the atmosphere each one presents.
Open right now is Cafe Tuki which lies in the heart of the NZ Sports Institute complex in Heretaunga. Cafe Tuki is open Mon-Fri 8am-2pm.
Soon to be open - almost certainly within the next few weeks - are the cafe at the large Classic Cars display complex off Alexander Road, Trentham and the cafe on the ground floor of the Buddle Building in the Blue Mountains Campus, Wallaceville.
All three are within a radius of 1.5 km.
STILL IN THE GAME
The Hurricanes fell short a few metres shy of the finishing line. An inspired Chief's team and three forward passes - with two of them perhaps not so - cost us the Super Rugby Pacific grand final at a packed out Sky Stadium against the Blues.
The weekend was not the best thing happening for Wellington as the Pulse went down in extra time to the Tactics in Christchurch to give up the lead in the netball championship and the Saints move up the basketball championship ladder was halted by the Bulls - also after extra time.
Well in 2024 Wellington in the best regarded domestic and Pacific sport championships still has done and is still doing very well and overall is almost certainly the leading province in NZ sport for 2024.
The Phoenix team stretched their season in the A-League right through to the semi finals. Wellington Firebirds (men) won crickets prestigious 4-day Plunket Shield for the 2023-24 season and the Wellington Blaze (women) won the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield for one-day cricket for yet another season.
