The Leishman Funeral Services Women traveled up to the windy weather of Dunedin to face Roslyn knowing they would be a hard team to beat. The first minute almost saw the team get the fastest goal ever seen but unfortunately it went a little wide. From then Roslyn saw the ball more, attacking down the right wing and getting a couple shots on goal but Trinity Bradbury in goals came to the rescue with some great saves. In the 20th minute, Roslyn got a corner getting sent into the middle, and was knocked out by Clutha but not far enough for a great finish by Roslyn. Clutha kept attacking but just couldn’t get the last step to score. The second half was definitely a better half more shots on target and eventually 10 minutes before the end of the game the girls did some wonderful 1-2 passing to get a goal. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough for the win but they battled past a strong wind to secure a 1:1 draw. Player of the day went to Stacey for putting her body on the line and having some great passing.

“We’re back”

After popular demand and many an enquiry, our digital clock and temperature display is finally back up on the frontage of Leishman Funeral Services, presenting the correct time and local temperature.

Due to the age of the digital clock, our local electrician needed to re-educate himself on old technology and obtain parts to finally make this happen. It’s taken a while – but it’s back.

Many a local can attribute being late for work (including myself) to their reliance on this device.

Next time you are passing Leishman Funerals at 12 James Street Balclutha, have a look at the time and local temperature, and if you have missed this over the last few months, welcome it back with a toot!

The late Jack Haki Pu Tawhai - October 13, 2021

With great sadness Leishman Funeral Services advise that one of our long-time funeral celebrants, Jack Tawhai has passed away suddenly at his home in Milton on Wednesday morning, October 13, 2021.

Jack grew up in a multi-cultural world where funerals and tangis were part of his life - Jack had a deep understanding of loss and grief and supported many of our South Otago families and Whanau over the past few years helping them to create services that best suited individual families with their beliefs, values, and culture.

Jack leaves a large gap in the lives of not only his own family/whanau but also in the Milton Community where Jack was weaved into the fabric of the community, assisting many families in many ways.

Farewell Jack - Okioki te Rongomau - Kua oti o mahi i konei

Please take the time to have a look at the recent photograph of Jack which he was very proud of. This was taken at the last funeral service Jack officiated for us for the late Shane McManus and his Whanau at Kaka Point back in June. Shane McManus' casket travelled to Kaka Point on the Hayley Davidson which is available here for all our families. Jack was very enthusiastic about trying out the ride himself!
