he Marlin Junior Boys rugby team won their premiership. They played Waihi on Saturday in the semi-final and won! They are now Year 4 Thames Valley Rugby Champions. They couldn’t wait to get back to Lyon Park from Te Aroha to tell everyone the news. The crowds were still watching the Senior A’s win against Hauraki North (HN). 100 GAMES CLUB BLAZERS PRESENTED: Six members of the Mercury Bay Rugby Club were presented with their 100 game Club Blazers following the games. It is quite an achievement as a player to clock up 100 games.
