Predictably Marilyn Brown and Craig Eustace will have their names engraved on the respective Novice Cups for 2004. This contest was run in conjunction with the interclub races
at the Mission Estate course on Saturday. Nathan Clark-Little made Eustace desperately chase him for just over a lap, but once ahead, Eustace dominance stretched to a handy 47 second advantage by the finish. In gorgeous autumn conditions, the three race programme attracted eighty competitors in various grades. Twelve year old N.Z. Surf Lifesaving champion Ben Gillies displayed his allround athletic talent by winning the opening 2km race. He cunningly trailed the leading Hastings pair through the forest section, before making a move that established a winning break. Nicky Powell was first girl home ahead of Rachel Town, who had an impressive harrier debut. Hogan Green staged an awesome effort to demolish the opposition in the two lap second event. Likewise Andrea Williams, Ashley Aitken and Julia Trautvetter blissfully controlled their rivals in their respective grades. The most interesting contest came amongst the masters women. Sheila Smidt put the 'acid' on her opposition and opened up a 80 metre advantage by the half way stage. Sadly her form foundered on the next circuit and she was quickly despatched by Marilyn Brown and evergreen campaigner Cheryl Simpson. In the final event, N.Z. representative Matt Holder recorded his fourth consecutive victory in the annual senior mens contest. His blistering 19.15 created a new record for the Mission Estate course. His winning margin was exaggerated, after second placed Richard Potts disappointingly withdrew during the closing stages of the contest. Daniel Wallis continues to impress and was rewarded with a third placing overall amongst illustrious company. Maximum handicap points were gained by Daniel Smith, Hogan Green, Aleesha Heywood, Daniel Wallis, Shayna Heywood, Kane Green, Kevin Fisher and Sheila Smidt. Race report courtesy of Trevor Fulton |
