Club History

Hinuera Rugby Club

Hinuera Rugby Club: Unfortunately records only date back to 1931, but it is known that a ‘Hinuera rugby club’ did exist prior to then and the original meeting was held in Harry Hopkin’s shed in 1911, the year that the Cotter family settled in Hinuera, coming, as did so many others, from the Coromandel and Waihi goldfields. World War I soon saw the club fall into recession until in 1924 Harry Kennedy called a meeting to reform the club which had been in recess for a number of years.
