I read recently that Waikato Club rugby compeition is only 50 years old. The Breweries Shield.
Anyone explain this? Before that was it sub-union based competitions?

It looks like the Waikato-wide club competition only started in 1966.
Based on the info on the mooloo website there were separate sub-union club competitions before then.
1936 Taupiri, Waipa and Hamilton sub-unions combine for a club competition and compete for the Stag Trophy. The inaugural winner is Hamilton Old Boys. -
Watching East Coast final (found a Grassroots Rugby on my mysky I hadn't watched).
Both teams are wearing the same kit.
Both have Red shirts and black shorts but with some indescribable black swirls on the shirts supposedly making them 'different '.But to add to the confusion, 1 guy doesnt have his team kit and is wearing a Counties Manukau style jersey!
Wait. Looks like a sub has come on now in second half wearing a black Jersey. Now 4 different types of jerseys on the field, but unfortunately 28 of the players still look identical.

Ahh gotcha, so they're not doing full rounds, just splitting 1-4 and 5-8? Good idea.
Axemen to get the axe.

Looked dangerous (if erratic) on the wing for Auckland.
