U21 takes the field, again


For the first time in around five years, the Mahurangi Rugby Club will field an Under 21 side this season.
Club chairperson Patrick Sullivan says new players coming into the area and the club’s strong international base have made this possible.

“We have players not only from Fiji, but also England, Ireland and America,” Sullivan says. “This has bolstered the local player numbers across all three senior teams.”

The U21s will play in the North Harbour comp, under coaches Justin Capitao and Luke Davids.

“Both these local guys have a heap of experience and knowledge with both playing representative rugby in their younger years.”

The club is still keen to hear from anyone who is interested in joining the team.

“We are also always on the lookout for new volunteers to help run the club. It doesn’t matter what experience you have, come along and find out first-hand why Mahurangi is the best club to play for, at and against.”
