Young Flyn Gilsenan has been chopping for the Nelson Club for about 3 years now. He is a natural competitor . I think he is Danny's grandson. I worked in Canterbury for Les Gilsenan late 1970s. All great Axemen.

Bede Brown
Our next door neighbour in Mace St Reefton he and Betty 40 plus years ago
My eldest is 50 in August her and one of Dannys boys Ben I think were playmates as todlers. That boy must also be getting near the 50 mark soon. Great neighbours

Cass Square. A big thing the wood chopping in socks. Even the non utilitarian Arts course would have a look.

Shane Molloy
A great axeman and a true ambassador of the Sport and sawley missed

George Colligan
Top man

Loretta Donnelly
I remember Les being very good on the jiggerboard.

Grahame Kelly
Remember those days back in the early 70's. I was with the Ashburton Axemen's Club and chopped at many events back in the day. Some great guys involved in the sport, just like Danny.

Clint Mcgee
Ive chopped against him years ago on the coast, and parts of Canterbury. Gud axeman.

Jennie Scott
Awesome sport. We went to watch grandad regularly

Bob Laing
I recall going to see chopping events at places on the Coast that are now just names or open parkland areas. Chopping and hand sawing were popular events 69-70 years ago.
