Rugby, raising & cheer When Duane Monkley and Stan Meads (right) caught up at a rural event in Ngāhinapōuri at the end of November the rugby link was no coincidence. For years the rural community has donated claves to help the Ōhaupō Rugby Club’s annual fundraiser. Life member Murray Jess and wife Kathy have hosted the event - a fixture on the local calendar – for decades. Rugby royalty was on hand this year with former King Country and All Blacks Meads and Waikato centurion Monkley on hand. So was Jesse Wood, who tells the story of the day on pages 6 and 7 today
