Looking at the Waikato club team lists I see that Ayden Johnstone is on the bench for Hautapu against Melville (which includes Rivez Reihana at 1st 5, a Waaka and a Poihipi - both brothers of).
40-yr old Adam Thomson is again playing for HOB (he is one of the coaches).
Marist vs Morrinsville Sports has Quinn Tupaea's brothers playing against each other. Dwayne Sweeney is still playing for Morrinsville.

I think that could be the design based on the sponsor.

define a country club .some of the clubs outside hamilton are made up of players living in hamilton , two clubs standout in particular
What you're saying is that this trophy will end up in the Hautapu clubrooms eventually.

I actually be at div 3 rugby tomorrow, it's Crowley cup day in the Naki. Crowley cup is played between Kaponga ans Okiawa, couple of div2/3 clubs, and Crowleys (Kieran etc)played for both clubs. Been quite intersting as I been watching Kaponga a bit this year (actually joined as member etc) and notice that the Div 3 clubs seem to be getting more players etc. Kaponga last year standing on sideline and looking like you could walk the coch would suggest you may like a game (slight exageration but not much), this year they started with about 35 players at training and games , lost a few because of no game time and injuries etc, but bloody good to see. I ws talking to coachs of another team in grade, said they had good numbers as players form some prem clubs who don't want all the gym work etc of prem rugby are wandering back to these country clubs where you just tarin once or twice a week and play. Good to see it's proper grassroots rugby.

My home district club Onewhero won the Counties U85 competition for the very first time. It was the only senior team this year as they struggled to get players for a premier/senior team. This team is more local than the premier team was with most players out of Onewhero or Tuakau schools or living locally and lots of sons and grandsons of club legends. The little fullas can sink some piss apparently so it would have been a big night up on the hill. It was played at the stadium in the break between sevens games.
