Bowlers strike big at sports awards
North City Tenpin was the big winner at the recent Porirua Sports Awards.
The event, held for the first time since 2019, was a procession for the city’s tenpin bowlers and no one was more surprised than coach Chris Haynes on 2 November.
Along with him taking away the coach of the year trophy, teenager Ben Pettit won the young sportsman award and the U21 North City Tenpin squad was named team of the year.
Haynes then had to take the familiar route to the Te Rauparaha Arena stage as he was presented with the Michael Campbell Trophy as the premier winner on the night.
Other winners on the night were Paul Petersen (volunteer), Northern United media crew (service to sport), Keira Noble-Shedlock (young sportswoman), Anna Thomson (individual sportswoman), Lance Pere (disabled sportsperson), and Cole Hawkins (individual sportsman).

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
