As Matariki rises, we take time to remember those who have passed, celebrate the present, and look ahead with hope. Matariki is a time of reflection, connection, and renewal, bringing whānau and communities together to acknowledge the past year and set intentions for the year to come. 🌠

Here in Tairāwhiti, we honour the season by slowing down, reconnecting with whenua and moana, and embracing the values of manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga that guide us forward. ✨

Wishing everyone a meaningful Matariki. 🌟

It might be the middle of winter, but Anaura Bay looks stunning in every season.

About 1.5 hours north of Gisborne, and the drive itself is half the reason to go.

Quiet beaches, clear water and not many people once you arrive. Doesn’t get much better.

Our Annual Car Wash Fundraiser is planned for Saturday 20th June outside @ Kevin Hollis Glass from 12noon. This fundraiser goes towards our U13/U15/U17/U19 junior teams going away to attend the National Junior Teams Event in Palmerston North.

All are welcome, please pop down, its heaps of fun. Also we can sell baking on the day as well - so any players not able to help out on the day can also do some baking and organise to drop this off.

When you come down please bring - sponges, buckets, car cleaning gear, towels and car cleaner liquid, not all of the above but some of the above will be great. This fundraiser is a great event and brings the kids together as well. Kids can get quite wet, so bring a change of clothes - those hoses are a little hard to control sometimes!!

Spread the word closer to the time - thanks.
