Hamilton Old Boys Rugby Club

A big congratulations to our Men's players who have been selected for Waikato Rugby and The New Zealand Harlequin Rugby Club campaigns over the coming months.

The Waikato team kick off their NPC matches this Thursday at FMG while the Harlequins Mens Development host Counties at Taupiri before their Northern Regions competition starts the following weekend.

Best of luck Men!

🚧🌱 A MASSIVE MILESTONE FOR FRED JONES PARK! 🌱🚧

Today marks one of the biggest milestones in the history of our Fred Jones Park redevelopment.

Under a beautiful clear Waikato sky, the very first roll of artificial turf was laid, bringing our vision one step closer to reality.

After months of planning, fundraising, earthworks, drainage, base construction, and preparation, it's incredible to finally see the playing surface taking shape.

This project will transform Fred Jones Park into a year-round facility that will benefit our junior and senior players, schools, and the wider Hamilton community for many years to come.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible—our funders, sponsors, contractors, volunteers, and everyone who has supported the project along the way.

The finish line is now in sight, and we can't wait to welcome everyone onto our brand-new turf in the coming weeks.

❤️🖤 The future of Hamilton Old Boys Rugby is rolling out before our eyes.
