Although this book is about the early history of the Dannevirke area, it contains much information on early rugby in the region. While predominantly focused on Dannevirke generally (and I have therefore included this content under the Dannevirke Old Boys rugby club) there is a page that is particular to the Aotea Rugby Club. A scan of that page is attached.
