Shannon Rugby Club

The Shannon Rugby Club was formed in 1899 and is one of the oldest in the Horowhenua Rugby Union. The Shannon Rugby Club was the first in the area to have their own scoreboard and clock. The Shannon Rugby Club rooms were also built in 1966. In 1965 the old sports pavilion was demolished and Shannon Rugby Club was erected on the site.
