2023 Taranaki Sports Awards – Congratulations Zoe Hobbs
Sportsperson of the year Zoe Hobbs
Smashing records around the world and breaking new ground for New Zealand female sprinters – Zoe Hobbs season is packed with highlights. Finishing 10th at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hobbs also ran the fastest 100m on Australian soil with a 10.97 second victory.
She also clocked a new personal best and New Zealand record of 10.96 seconds in July and finished 9th in the international diamond league.
Hobbs dominated domestically, resetting the New Zealand Resident Record and the all-Comers record twice and breaking the New Zealand record three times, picking up her seventh consecutive national 100m title. She has run under the Olympic Games qualifying standard of 11.07 and if selected, she will be the first female sprinter to represent New Zealand at the Olympics since 1976.
Silks Audit are proud to support Ratana Force Up
Silks Audit are proud to support tamariki playing touch this season. So happy we could help with new uniforms and Hoddies for all the players.

Nō ngā kāwai o Te Awa Tupua o Whanganui a Lou Walker.
E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki te aronui o Lou Walker ki te ao tatauranga.
Ku’ roa a Walker e kaingākaunui ana ki te tatauranga mai nō i ā ia i te kura.
Kei te mahi a Walker ki tetehi whare tatauranga tonu. Ā, kei te pūpū ake ōna pūkenga.
E whai ake nei ko Eruera Rerekura me te pūrongo.
Lou Walker of Te Ātihaunui a Pāpārangi is an aspiring charted accountant.
As a 5th former at Whanganui High School she realised how good she was at maths and studyed accounting.
Now, the 32-year-old is an auditor at Silks Audit’s Whanganui office working among other young Māori professionals.
Eventually she wants to become a charted accountant and work with Māori businesses and with whānau to build their intergenerational wealth.
Our Whanganui correspondent Eruera Rerekura caught up with her at her mahi and has this story…

Pūrongo 384 | Aotea Netball Nationals
Tērā ia te tonamana neti pōro Māori.
I korowaitia ngā hau maha ki raro i a Taranaki maunga arā ki Ngā Motu.
He kaupapa whakahirahira tonu tēnei e whakapiki ana e whakakake ana i te waiora me te wairua Māori anō hoki.
I tae ake a Eruera Rerekura ki te whakataetae nei.
After months of training, bonding, growing and preparing the Aotea Māori Netball team hosted the national tournament in New Plymouth over Easter weekend.
50 Māori girls most of who were not brought up in their taha Māori were nurtured and eventually learned more about themselves by going to noho marae (marae stay overs) being taught about their whakapapa and appreciating the whanaungatanga, connecting with one another.
Māori Netball grew out of kaupapa hauora supporting the target of a smokefree Aotearoa by 2025.
It’s hoped that the hauora aspect of the sport encourages a healthy lifestyle on and off the netball court and for the rest of their lives.
Thanks to Silks Audit who sponsorsed the Aotea Māori Netball team who believe in developing young Māori women to achieve.
