Hi Junior Parents,

We’ve had a fantastic start to the season, with player numbers already surpassing last year’s total and there’s still room to grow! If you know any families keen to join the Pride, we’d love to welcome them to the club.

This Saturday marks the official kickoff for all 37 of our teams, with our U9, U11, and U13 Rippa grades starting their season.

We’d also like to extend a warm invitation to the entire Junior Club to join us this Saturday for Ladies Day—a special celebration recognising all the incredible women and girls who support our game, both on and off the field. Match times for the day are below:

Development Team vs Silverdale – 1:00pm

U21 Team vs Massey – 1:00pm

Prem Men vs Silverdale – 2:45pm

Prem Women vs Auckland Marist – 2:45pm

If you’re a female team manager and haven’t yet registered in Rugby Explorer, we recommend doing so as soon as possible via this link so we can have your drink vouchers ready for Saturday. For all other women joining us, happy hour will run from 3pm until late, with a DJ bringing the vibes from 7pm.

The North Harbour Rugby draw is now live and can be accessed through the Rugby Explorer app or on the North Harbour website via this link.

Lastly, we’re calling on all men and women interested in giving Rusty Rugby a go!

This is a fun, non-contact T1 rugby competition run by North Harbour Rugby, kicking off in just six weeks. Most other clubs already have teams registered, so now’s the time to get involved.

If you're keen or just want to learn more, click on this link, have a chat with your mates, and let’s get a few teams together to represent the Pride!

Before I go we have had a lot of parents asking about our leavers band night & how to buy tickets, they are going quick, so if you're keen click on the button below to buy your tickets now.

We look forward to seeing you at the club!

Go The Shore...Pride of the union!
