MainPower partners with Canterbury Rugby ahead of Rangiora match

Local lines company MainPower has partnered with Canterbury Rugby to support this Saturday’s Bunnings Warehouse NPC clash against Taranaki in Rangiora. 

“When Canterbury Rugby announced that they were bringing their match to North Canterbury, it made complete sense to partner with them as the matchday partner,” said MainPower Chief Executive, Andy Lester.

“Canterbury Rugby’s community focus aligns nicely with ours at MainPower. We’re really looking forward to being part of this local event and supporting the development of rugby in North Canterbury.”

This weekend’s clash will add to an already festival style day where Canterbury Rugby’s Sub Unions North Canterbury and Ellesmere square off in their annual contest, with MainPower also a supporter of the North Canterbury Rugby Sub-Union.

“It’s already set to be a really special day of rugby, so to have MainPower partner with us to support the festivities will be extra special,” said Canterbury Rugby CEO Tony Smail.  

“There’s been a fair amount of effort go into setting the day up,” said Smail, “but it just goes to show how connected our rugby community is and how they’re all willing and able to work together.” 

The 2nd of September match against Taranaki will showcase the first time that a Bunnings NPC match has been played at Rangiora, and by being presented to the North Canterbury community by a local company such as MainPower, it maintains the strong synergy that this event is bringing to rugby in North Canterbury.
