Shirley Rugby has signed up to Gallagher Club Kickback, and it's about as easy as fundraising gets.

If you own or run a business, move your business insurance across to Gallagher and they donate 15% of their commission back to the club. Not a one off either. It comes back to Shirley every single year that policy renews.

Gallagher Insurance New Zealand will look at what you've got now and aim to match or better it, so in most cases you're getting the same cover (often cheaper), a proper second opinion on any gaps, and the club gets a cheque out of it.

No cost to you. No catch. Just a better funding stream for the club.

By now most of the lads will be tucked up in bed, lights out, boots by the door, dreaming of offloads.

But just in case you're not, here's your reminder.

Burwood Park, 11am, Saturday 19 September. Men's and women's players both welcome.

Bring boots, a mouthguard and a water bottle. Bring a mate too while you're at it.

Anything you need to know, give Westy a call on 027 858 5686. Not at 2am though ⚔ 😁

Let's not dress it up. Last season hurt. We took the hits, we wore them, and we're still standing.

Now we rebuild.

Shirley Rugby Club is looking for Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Team Managers across Premiers, Premier Reserves and Colts for 2027.

This isn't about inheriting something that's already humming. It's about being handed the keys and building it your way, from the ground up. The club that gets off the canvas swinging is the one people remember, and whoever steps up now gets to put their name on that.

🛡️ 109 years of Shirley. Vikings don't retreat, we regroup.

If you want to build a legacy rather than just fill a role, we want to hear from you.
