The B’s get the action underway on 28 March (as above), with the rest of our teams following the next weekend. The draw also highlights a couple of showcase club days that promise to bring the entire North Shore Rugby community together in celebration of our game and our club.:

• ANZAC Day – Friday 25 April
  All of our senior sides will be playing at home, creating a special afternoon at Vauxhall as we come together to recognise ANZAC Day while supporting our teams on the field. Something special is in store as well.
• Club Day – Saturday 6 June v Takapuna Rugby Club
  One of the biggest days on the club calendar. All senior teams and most junior teams will be playing at home, creating a full day of rugby and a great opportunity for the entire North Shore Rugby community to get together.

Be sure to mark up your season calendar — from the first round of the B’s on 28 March through to the final fixtures, it’s set to be a season full of great rugby, big moments, and club pride.”
