The Season Ends

The season has ended once again for the Saturday morning schoolboy players in the Junior Rugby Advisory Board competitions. With over 1000 boys taking part, the competitions have meant much hard work for the volunteers who manage the games.

This year former East Coast and Poverty Bay representative Claude Rickard presented the 13th grade trophy winners with their cups at the Oval.
