Auckland grassroots rugby clubs receive funding boost

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Manukau Courier

Two rugby clubs in south Auckland have been named among the recipients of the Bunnings Rugby Assist programme.

Tepapapa Onehunga Rugby Club and Manukau Rovers will receive $10,000 each of Bunnings materials.

This will be used to upgrade sporting facilities to grow and improve the clubs.

Five rugby clubs across the country have received $30,000 and 15 clubs received $10,000 worth of support from the programme.

“The passion and dedication shown by the club volunteers and communities who applied for Bunnings Rugby Assist is really encouraging,” Bunnings director Ben Camire said.

“They share our goal of helping to build grassroots rugby, which is at the heart of every community in this country.”
