Three elite sports people have been selected to be the first inductees into the new South Taranaki Sporting Hall of Fame.
James Hunter (rugby), Roger Cox (shearing) and Adine Wilson (netball) will be the first of many to be inducted.
TSB Hub manager Mark Mekalick said the selection committee received a large number of high quality nominations and narrowing it down to three was extremely challenging."
"It was amazing reading the histories of our nominees," he said.
"It really hit home that South Taranaki has produced some extremely talented sports people."
