Pennants glory to Waikohu women
Waikohu made a quiet start, placing fourth in round 1, but two third placings after that had them handily placed. They made a decisive move with victory in round 4 at Waikohu, then repeated that success in round 5 at Mahia and round 6 at Electrinet Gisborne Park. Mahia started even slower than Waikohu - sixth in round 1 - but were never out of the top three on the day until the final round. Patutahi were in the title hunt throughout but needed a huge round 7 and for Waikohu and Mahia to stumble. That didn't happen. Poverty Bay saved their best to last to win round 7 - Teresa Lewis starring with a net 69 - but it was not enough to lift them off the bottom of the standings. The interclub pennants round was held in conjunction with the Pharmacy 53 open tournament - Nigel Campbell and his '53″ team having backed the event for over 20 years. Lewis topped an excellent field of 70 players to win the overall net by one shot from clubmate Maxine Francois. Another Bay player, Mary Allan, won the Stableford with 39 points. As she has done almost the entire pennants series, with each round played alongside the host club's open tournament, Electrinet Park's Karen Hay won the gross - this time with an 86. Terry Allan and Suzy Gardner won the 9-hole net and Stableford respectively. RESULTS Tairawhiti women's interclub pennants - Round 7 (aggregate net): Poverty Bay 309, Waikohu 317, Electrinet Park 324, Mahia 331, Te Puia Hot Springs 333, Patutahi 339, Wairoa 340. Overall standings: Waikohu 40.5, Mahia 38, Patutahi 32, Electrinet Park 24.5, Wairoa 22.5, Te Puia Hot Springs 19.5, Poverty Bay 19. Pharmacy 53 women's open tournament - 18-hole gross: K. Hay 86. 18-hole Stableford: M. Allan 39, A. Tamanui-Nunn 37, V. Bell 37, R Spence 36, M. Tuapawa 36, M. Colebourne 35, F. Allen 35, R. Taewa 35. 9-hole net: T. Allan 36. 9-hole Stableford: S.

Unbeaten Jason Devery realising potential in Tairāwhiti men's interclub golf pennants
Devery, playing for Te Puia Hot Springs, is yet to taste defeat after six rounds of the series, which heads to Poverty Bay's Awapuni Links on Sunday. He has a perfect record of five wins from five matches and ended another player's 100% record in round six of the matchplay competition at Tolaga Bay last weekend. Devery was unavailable for round five in the morning, but filled in at No 4 for the Springs in the afternoon and defeated previously unbeaten Poverty Bay player Hayden Keast 5 and 4. Keast wasn't complaining. 'I ran into a hot Jason Devery,' Poverty Bay co-captain Keast said. 'He was two-under through nine holes and I couldn't keep pace. The bro was in good form.' The two points Devery banked for his team were vital. They lost 6-2 to Patutahi (1) in the morning and drew 4-all with Poverty Bay in the afternoon to lift their overall total to 27 points. They sit in fourth place, four points ahead of Waikohu (23) with one round of round-robin play to go. Defending champions Patutahi (1) lead on 35 points, with Electrinet Park (1) second on 32 and Poverty Bay third on 31. Following round seven, the eight teams split into the top and bottom four for semifinal play Sunday afternoon, and Springs do not want to be involved in the playoffs for fifth to eighth. Neither do Waikohu, but to have any chance of catching Springs they need big points in their last round-robin tie against Tolaga Bay and for Te Puia to slip up. Springs face Park (1), who will be fizzing with confidence on the back of their 6-2 round six defeat of Patutahi (1), courtesy of comprehensive wins to No 1 Dan Collier and No 2 Anaru Reedy, and an 18th-hole victory to No 3 Matt Henwood. With Devery missing round five, then beating Keast, only two players – Eddie Brown jnr and Glenn Solomann – have six-from-six individual win records and their achievements continue from where they left off last year. Patutahi's Brown jnr and Waikohu's Auckland-based teenager Solomann were the two frontrunners for the 2024 Sportsman Trophy for player of the series. Solomann got the nod, just. Saturday also saw another teen machine, Marcus Gray, in action for Poverty Bay and he justified his elevation with two wins. RESULTS – ROUND 5 Patutahi (1) 6 Te Puia Hot Springs 2: Hukanui Brown def Richard Apanui 2 and 1; Jace Brown lost to Wade Wesche 2 and 1; Shayde Skudder def Brendon McLeod 3 and 2; Eddie Brown jnr def John Wyllie 4 and 3. Poverty Bay 6 Electrinet Park (1) 2: Pete Anderson lost to Anaru Reedy 3 and 2; Waka Donnelly def Dan Collier 3 and 2; Marcus Gray def Brad Reynolds 5 and 4; Hayden Keast def Matt Henwood 3 and 1. Waikohu 5 Electrinet Park (2) 3: Glenn Solomann def Bailey Matoe 3 and 1; David Solomann def Selwyn Peneha 4 and 3; Terry Reeves lost to Peter Stewart 5 and 4; Mike Christophers halved with Anthony Pahina. Tolaga Bay 4 Patutahi (2) 4: Bruce Yates def Lyall Anania 5 and 4; Taine Lincoln lost to Dean Pohatu 2 and 1; BJ Sidney lost to Regan Hindmarsh 5 and 4; Tim Adamson def Hamish Harris 6 and 5. ROUND 6 Patutahi (1) 2 Electrinet Park (1) 6: Hukanui Brown lost to Dan Collier 6 and 5; Jace Brown lost to Anaru Reedy 5 and 4; Shayde Skudder lost to Matt Henwood 1-down; Eddie Brown jnr def Brad Reynolds 2 and 1. Poverty Bay 4 Te Puia Hot Springs 4: Pete Anderson lost to Richard Apanui 5 and 4; Waka Donnelly def Wade Wesche 5 and 4; Marcus Gray def Brendon McLeod 2 and 1; Hayden Keast lost to Jason Devery 5 and 4. Waikohu 6 Patutahi (2) 2: Glenn Solomann def Lyall Anania 5 and 4; David Solomann def Dean Pohatu 3 and 2; Mike Christophers lost to Regan Hindmarsh 5 and 4; Terry Reeves def Hamish Harris 3 and 2. Tolaga Bay 6 Electrinet Park (2) 2: Bruce Yates def Bailey Matoe 4 and 3; Taine Lincoln def Selwyn Peneha 2 and 1; Wiremu Aupouri lost to Peter Stewart 5 and 4; Tim Adamson def Anthony Pahina 3 and 2. Overall points: Patutahi (1) 35, Electrinet Park (1) 32, Poverty Bay 31, Te Puia Hot Springs 27, Waikohu 23, Tolaga Bay 19, Electrinet Park (2) 13, Patutahi (2) 12.

Leftie Gray set to unleash in Tairāwhiti interclub golf pennants at Tolaga Bay
Gray's appointment is a case of one leftie out, another in, with Zach Rolls heading off on an OE. The Awapuni Links quartet will also feature the entry of prolific Poverty Bay-East Coast title winner Waka Donnelly into the matchplay fray. Working for LeaderBrand across the road from the Poverty Bay has allowed Donnelly to work diligently on his game - a record-equalling eighth Poverty Bay Open crown at the top of his 'to do' list this year - and he has history at Tolaga Bay in the honours-board form of two King of the Coast Open triumphs albeit before the turn of the century. An in-form Pete Anderson will be at No 1 and co-captain Hayden Keast - unbeaten in the series so far - No 4 for a PB side who will need to be near the peak of their form as they face reigning champions and 2025 points leaders Patutahi (1) in the morning round. 'Tahi (1) are on 27 points, three ahead of Electrinet Park (1), followed by Poverty Bay and Te Puia Hot Springs on 21. There is daylight back to Waikohu on 12, Tolaga Bay 9, Park (2) 8 and Patutahi (2) 6. The champs will be without Dwayne Russell's services on Saturday. He has posted three Ws (wins) and an H (half) so far, so his replacement Jace Brown has Shaq-sized shoes to fill. YMP Premier rugby team's loss will again be 'Tahi's gain, with YMP captain Shayde Skudder playing both rounds. Eddie Brown, on a four-from-four run this year, and younger brother Hukanui only add to their firepower. Patutahi (1) are set to be co-stars in two delectable sub-plots. Following their PB duel, they head into what could be a Game of Thrones-like afternoon battle with Park (1). The Park will have its usual quality suspects in Dan Collier, Anaru Reedy and Brad Reynolds, but Matt Henwood has replaced Pete Stewart, who will be birdie-hunting for Park (2), alongside Bailey Matoe, Sel Peneha and Anthony Pahina. Saturday is the best possible stage for Tolaga Bay to make a significant move. To have any chance of qualifying for the top-four semifinals, Bruce Yates, Taine Lincoln, William Aupouri and Tim Adamson must convert all their home knowledge to position-climbing points in tussles with Waikohu and Park (2). Waikohu face a similar scenario. The 'Sollies' - David Solomann and son Glenn - will again traverse the long and winding road from Auckland all the way up SH35 to represent their adopted country course, backed up by Terry Reeves and Mike Christophers. Te Puia Hot Springs will be minus another four-from-four conqueror, Jason Devery, in their morning clash with Waikohu, but he will be back in the afternoon hungry to take down Donnelly, who started his golfing career at the Springs many moons ago. Patutahi (2)'s flag will be flown by Regan Hindmarsh, Lyall Anania, Dean Pohatu and Hamish Harris. It will be all on in their bottom-of-the-table morning scrap with Park (2). Saturday also features round 3 of the Endeavour men's interclub handicap pennants at Patutahi Golf Club.
