Naenae Old Boys Rugby Club

Club History

Naenae Old Boys Rugby Club was formed in September 1949 and continued for 30 years until amalgamating with neighbours, and rivals, Taita Rugby Club to form Avalon Rugby Club. The club changed its name from Naenae Rugby Club after Naenae College opened and an affiliation was formed. The first colours were blue with small gold and black stripes – refer photo. These colours were chosen as there was a set of jerseys available from the recently defunct Rongotai Rugby Club in Miramar and this was the most economical and quickest way to get the team kitted for the 1950 season. Eventually the colours were changed to blue with gold trim – refer photo. No official history was written on the club, but they still run a Facebook page. View the link
