Maria Farina was a team pick. Selected by me funnily enough.

It's Winter in the Lane household.

Can't remember the last time I top scored. Been a good day all round.

Just as well I do the cooking in our house.

Seagulls all present and correct.

Seagulls will be playing standard joker today.

Opie wouldn't like to be reminded of Watch Officer 🤣

Oranmore.

Wrong Mardi. The Punters Club person is Mardy.

I love how a thread about site changes has turned into "operations I've had". 🤣

Retiring after the Aussie tests. What a workhorse he's been for NZ cricket. Not the most talented bowler you'd ever see but more than made up for that with sheer guts and determination. He'll be missed.

Of course Walker and Tata are only in that group because of the deeds of one horse.

Well this is odd. In the earlier press release we were told that Hastings was ok. Now this - I'm totally confused as to why Hastings wouldn't be available at the end of May. Raceday Due to the unavailability of both the Te Aroha and Hawke’s Bay tracks the following changes have been made: Friday 8 March: This will now be a Taupo RC meeting at Taupo. The Mdn 1600m that was programmed will now be a Mdn 1750m while the Mdn 2200m race will become 2000m. Thursday 23 May: This Hawke’s Bay meeting has moved to Sunday 26 May and will now be a Woodville-Pahiatua RC licence at Woodville. Trials With the movement of the above raceday, and other club-related issues, the trials for the Northern region will now be as follows: Tues 27 February: Now Matamata trials. Tues 12 March: These trials have been pushed back 48 hours to Thursday 14 March due to the Taupo track being unavailable on the Tuesday.
