EVERY sport has its champions on the field of play.
Every sport depends on the goodwill of people content to referee, umpire or fulfil other less glamorous but equally important administrative roles which guarantee the participants are given every opportunity to expose their talents.
In each case the Wairarapa region has made a habit of punching well above its weight.
We may not be the biggest province population-wise but when it comes to sporting achievements we have consistently shown the rest of the country that size doesn't necessarily matter.
It is important that Wairarapa takes time to pay tribute to those who by their deeds -- either individually or collectively -- are ensuring this reputation is maintained.
