OLD BOYS 75th REUNION
The oldest continuous rugby club in Poverty Bay, Old Boys has a proud record of achievement and 370 members proved the strength of club spirit when they gathered for the 75th Jubilee over Easter. The 70s was a great era for the club when they won the Senior Championship in 1971 and then cruised to 5 successive championship titles from 1977-81. Robbie Newlands and Wilton McFarlane, both products of this era, played over 100 games for P.B. A past versus present game was one of many highlights of an extremely successful Jubilee held at the Oval clubrooms and an adjacent marquee
