VODAFONE WARRIORS UNVEIL
‘TANGAROA’Auckland, New Zealand, November 19, 2014 –
Introducing ‘Tangaroa’, the sparkling jersey the
Vodafone Warriors will unleash at the second
Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines at Eden Park in
Auckland on January 31 and February 1 next year.
The Canterbury of New Zealand kit for the Nines
extravaganza was offi cially unveiled today, the design
named after and paying homage to Tangaroa, the Maori
god of the ocean.
Vodafone Warrior Tuimoala Lolohea, who represented
the club at the inaugural NRL Nines this year, was excited
about the new kit after modelling it at a Canterbury of New Zealand photo shoot today.
“I like it. It’s a nice design and a really cool looking jersey,”
he said.
“It was great playing in the Nines this year and I’d love to
have the chance to wear this strip again at the tournament
next year.”
The strip features the paua shell, chosen to represent
Aotearoa (New Zealand); the paua is held in high regard
by Maori as a taonga (or treasure) from Tangaroa.
Designer Dave Burke said the paua shell’s colours
represent something unique and vibrant, therefore
capturing the competition and spirit of the NRL Nines.
Emerging from the chest of the jersey is the club’s
traditional tiki, defi ant and ready for the challenge that lies
ahead.
The mangotipi (white pointer shark) design on the body
of the jersey refl ects movement, speed and travelling.
Sharks also represent strength, determination and power,
all of which are attributes of a warrior.
Jerseys will be available from early December in adults’
and kids’ sizes. Shorts will be available in adults’ sizes
only.

MSA Programme SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL FESTIVAL NEXT WEEKOne of New Zealand's biggest school sporting
festival's hits off on Monday 24th November
when 136 secondary school volleyball teams
take to the court in Wellington and Invercargill
for the North and South Island Junior Secondary
School Volleyball Championships.
In Wellington, eighty-seven teams take part in the
North Island Championships at the ASB Sports
Centre in Kilbirnie, for students from Years 9 and
10.
Held for the fi rst time for many years in Invercargill,
the South Island Championships include forty-
nine teams playing at the brand new Stadium
Southland.
The North Island Championships again feature
teams from the strong Auckland and Bay of
Plenty regions in the top seeded positions, with
an almost even split between these regions for
the top sixteen rankings in the boys' and girls'
sections.
The top Girl's seed is Tauranga's always-strong
Otumoetai College, who have just taken out the
Bay of Plenty Championship, with challenges
expected to come from Auckland Champions
Westlake Girls High, last year's popular North
Island winners Manurewa High, and Bay of Plenty
runners-up Tauranga Girls College.
Leading the North Island Boys' section are
Auckland Champions Rangitoto College, with
the Aucklanders likely to be challenged by the
country's most successful school, Rotorua's
Western Heights High, who last week won the
Bay of Plenty Championship. Also challenging in
the Boys will be Rangitoto's strong North Harbour
neighbours Orewa College and 2103 Island
champions Westlake Boys, along with the up and
coming Manurewa and Trident (Whakatane) High
sides.
In the South Island, a similar two-way split in
the Girls' section has Tasman's Waimea College
and Nelson College for Girls leading the hunt
for top honours against Canterbury's Riccarton
and Aranui High Schools, while three Tasman
Boys' teams – Waimea and Nelson Colleges,
and Marlborough Boys High will face one major
Christchurch opponent in Burnside High. Edging
into the Boy's top eight rankings are Dunedin's
Bayfi eld High and Timaru Boys High, the only
'outsiders' seemingly in with a chance.

MĀORI SPORTS HALL OF FAME HONOURS LEAGUE AND GOLF LEGENDS
Legendary sports stars, rugby league player Stacey Jones and golfer Philip Tataurangi, will be
inducted into the Māori Sports Hall of Fame, Te Whare Mātāpuna o te Ao Māori, at the National Māori
Sports Awards later this year (Saturday 29 November 2014).
Stacey William Jones ONZM (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāpuhi) is widely regarded as the best New Zealand player
of his generation.
The 38-year-old played 46 tests for the Kiwis from 1995 to 2006 – six tests as captain in 2002 and 2006 – and
made a club record 261 NRL appearances. He also holds the record for most points (674) during his 12
seasons with the Vodafone Warriors.
Stacey is also a finalist in the Māori Sports Coach of the Year award.
Philip Mikaera Tataurangi (Ngāti Kahungunu) was the leading individual among a quartet of young men who
became the first New Zealand team to win the world amateur Eisenhower Trophy in Canada in 1992.
Highlights of Tataurangi’s professional career included winning the 1996 Australian PGA Championship and
the 2002 Invensys Classic on the PGA Tour. He is currently patron of the New Zealand branch of The First Tee,
a charity which promotes character development in youth through golf.
A world-class field of finalists will vie for top honours in 10 categories at this year’s National Māori Sports
Awards to be held at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau on Saturday 29 November.
Set up to foster, promote and encourage Māori sports people in the pursuit of excellence, Te Tohu Taakaro o
Aotearoa was founded by the late Albie Pryor with Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu as Patron and Sir
John Turei as Kaumātua.
Nominations close on 31 October 2014. More information is on the website www.maorisportsawards.co.nz

Reflection:I chose Sir Peter Leitch because he really inspired me as a role model. because of what his life was like growing up and how he turned it around and made a good life out of it, His work with charities has been outstanding and no doubt about it he will continue his endless support he has also helped with communities such as Christchurch In 2011 when they had a horrific earthquake which damaged the wholeCity and a fair portion of the country. A way you could help support his foundation is to donate to the Sir Peter Leitch foundation at www.sirpeterlietch.co.nz
I was fl attered to be the subject of a presentation by
a young lady by the name of Elizabeth who lives in
Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
Elizabeth said: "I chose Sir Peter Leitch because he
really inspired me as a role model. He shows that
with a rough beginning of life you can always bring
out the good in things and make a brand new fresh
start. With being rewarded sometimes with little
things can help us learn to give instead of take for
ourselves. Sir Peter showed me this in his work with
charities...."
Thanks for those kind words, Elizabeth!

The fundraiser last night was for a young lady called Alana. She is 31 year old mum
who was diagnosed with an incurable cancer called carcinoid syndrome. The money
raised is going to fund her treatment in Australia, which will give here a longer life.
We raised over $20,000 on the night, which I thought was FANTASTIC!

Characteristics of Sir Peter Leitch
How did these Characteristics lead them to perform prophetic acts.I chose Sir Peter Leitch because he shows that with a rough beginning of life you can always bring out the good in things and make a brand new fresh start. With being rewarded sometimes with little things can help us learn to give instead of take for ourselves. Sir Peter showed me this in his work with charities which is detailed in his book "What a ride, Mate!”
Turning PointsA turning point for Sir Peter Leitch was when he was cleaning out a car park of which they used for a charity with his butcher, when someone said to him you should do this more over Peter your helping us gain heaps of money for the charities.Peter took up that opportunity and has helped with Charities and working with people ever since, He helped with the Christchurch Earthquake in New Zealand in 2011 when a terrifying earthquake hit the city. Sir Peter has been an advocate for the earthquake affected people of Christchurch and often uses his advertising to remind the public of their difficulties.blbli i f thf th i i difffffdiffffff

Biography of Sir Peter LeitchSir Peter Leitch
One of New Zealand's most awarding, inspirational leaders. Sir Peter Leitch was born on the 8th May 1944 and had a disadvantaged childhood growing up, at secondary school he was diagnosed with dyslexia. He left school at the age of 15 and gained a job as an butchers apprenticeship, and soon after turned 16 he later moved to Auckland to continue his work as a Butcher.
After the move in 1971 he opened a butchery in Mangere East, Auckland, a friend of his suggested radio advertising, later when that began he said he recalled someone in a pub referring to him as “That Mad Butcher" and since then he was advertising his butchery all over New Zealand as "The home of the Mad Butcher"
In 2012 his Butchery chain "The Mad Butcher" had became very popular and made around 36+ stores across New Zealand.
He is well known for his support to Charity's across New Zealand and his passion for the New Zealand Warriors, Rugby League club.
He has given endless time and support to help others in need and with charity’s, an example of this is at the start of June this year he gave my Grandad and my family a wonderful experience of going to see the New Zealand Warriors Rugby team play by watching it in the corporate box with some legendary players from the past. This was a unforgettable moment seeing my Grandparents so happy seen as they lost there house in the Christchurch Earthquake of 2010 and my Grandfather had suffered a heart attack due to stress.
