Gaye Bezzant, right, has become Cambridge’s 41st inductee on the Sports Walk of Fame in Duke Street - and Waipā mayor Susan O’Regan visited her this week with the plaque which will be unveiled today. Gaye, who has been honoured for her contribution to softball represented New Zealand for a decade from 1955 and served as vice captain in the 1964-65 season. She also represented Waikato in softball, netball, basketball and goal and was the ultimate all-rounder. The 85-yearold still plays golf regularly and many of her golfing buddies are looking forward to walking over her plaque once they find out where it is on Duke Street. Gaye (nee Smith) was born in Cambridge – two blocks away from where she now lives. She and her husband Max, who died three years ago, farmed at Whitehall for many years. – Mary Anne Gill.
