Our clubs doing good things

The community that club rugby creates has been shown throughout the season so far, with a number of our clubs putting in incredible efforts behind the scenes to ensure that the effect rugby has is spread out throughout the region.

Ashley’s Ladies Day

A large part of Ashley’s Ladies Day focussed around raising funds on behalf of the Cancer Society North Canterbury, with the successful and sold out event raising $8,000 for the support of the wider community and people.

Special pink jerseys, hosting pitchside in a marquee and an auction all formed part of the day, which has become a tradition and now an anticipated event on the Ashley RFC calendar.

HSOB & Ohoka Tri Rugby

Both HSOB and Ohoka hosted Tri Rugby trainings this year, culminating in Sunday’s final game of the season, which saw the two clubs clash ahead of the U85 Club Cup match.

Tri Rugby continues to be an incredibly important avenue in our game, allowing more people participate in the game we love, and we thank the volunteers and the clubs for the time invested in a special cause.

Southbridge’s Pasifika Day

Southbridge’s Pasifika Day raised $9,500 in funds for Unicef and the DC fund, ensuring they were able to celebrate their community while also taking the time to look after others, with the funds set to go towards important sanitation and projects in the Pacific.

These three moments are merely the tip of the iceberg, and we thank the numerous volunteers and dedicated club people who make these good things happen in our community.
