Robert Algie Memorial Trust were lucky enough over the first weekend of September to partner with Wairarapa Bush Rugby, their anniversary celebrations and the New Zealand Parliamentary Rugby Team to hold an event to raise funds for the trust.
Trusthouse Robert Algie Memorial Rugby game saw a Wairarapa Invitational Team, with representation from retired players like Dean Goodin – Stihl Shop Masterton, Patrick Harding-Rimene – Scott’s Ag Contracting, Robin Walker – Daytech Engineering and Mana Apiata – Professionals, Patrick and Scott Masterton. In particular it was great to see Robert’s two nephews, Chris – Inspire Living and Thomas – A1 Homes, take part in the invitational team and even better to see his great nieces and nephews on the sidelines to support.
The Parliamentary team saw Kieran McAnulty – Scotty’s Meats and Billy and Piri Weepu – Erin Nesdale Property Brokers take the field along with many others.
The weather held out, lots of supporters came out and it was a great game to watch with Matua Sid Tatana kindly giving up his time to support the kaupapa and coach the Invitational side.
We are thankful to our major sponsor Trusthouse, the Parliamentarians for supporting a great cause and the businesses listed below, who in these hard times continued to support tamariki and rangatahi to play and participate in sports with $11,000 raised thus far!
