FROM THE EDITOR

Last year Whiti Te Ra league rugby team was so far ahead of its competition it didn’t even run proper trainings, simply playing touch instead.

The team won a third Manawatu title in a row, so decided to move to the Wellington competition, but yet again, came out on top.

Congratulations to all involved and check out P47 and 48 for action from the final.

Also remember that voting documents will be delivered from September 21.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for our profiles on the ward candidates.

I encourage you to engage with the elections and have your say.
