Monday Sport Blast From The Past
Naomi Shaw is the sort of person that every sporting club loves. Shaw has played, administered and coached Saints Softball Club in the Hutt Valley for more than 55 years.
She played for the New Zealand women's White Sox softball team and is the only female captain to win a World Championship medal (1982).
An assistant coach at three world championships and head coach at a further three, she helped the White Sox achieve a world ranking of eight.
Shaw is perhaps best known as a stalwart of Hutt Valley and community sport. She has coached the Junior White Sox team and led the Hutt Valley Women's National League team to five successive titles and the Hutt Valley U19 and U18 teams to three successive titles.
Prominent in the success of the Hutt Valley Sports Awards, she was inducted as a Legend in 2013.
The Shaw clan have continued her legacy with daughter, Kiri, and grand-daughter Denva, both playing for the White Sox.
Grandson Sage Shaw-Tait
is highly regarded in rugby, baseball, softball and sevens.
