💚🖤 10 YEARS OF WOMEN IN LEAGUE 🖤💚

Calling all past and present Wahine players

This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate 10 years of our Women's Team at Linwood Kea's Rugby League Club.

Over the past decade, countless players, coaches, managers, volunteers, supporters and whānau have helped build a legacy of strength, passion and pride. From lifelong friendships to unforgettable moments on and off the field, our women's programme has become an important part of who we are as a club.

Join us as we celebrate the amazing women who have worn the green and black, supported from the sidelines, and helped pave the way for future generations.

Let's come together to share stories, reconnect, and honour 10 incredible years of Women's Rugby League at Linwood.

💚 Family | Pride | Passion | Integrity 🖤

💚🖤 NRL DEBUT ALERT 🖤💚

The entire Linwood Keas Rugby League Club would like to congratulate Makaia Tafua on making his NRL debut for the New Zealand Warriors tomorrow against the Cronulla Sharks.

From his junior days at Linwood to earning the opportunity to pull on the Warriors jersey, Makaia's journey is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and commitment to the game.

We are incredibly proud to see one of our own reach the highest level and represent not only himself and his whānau, but also the green and black of Linwood.

Makaia, your Keas whānau will be cheering you on every step of the way. Enjoy every moment, back yourself, and make the most of this well-deserved opportunity.

Once a Kea, always a Kea. 💚🖤

Good luck Maka!
