Days like this don't come round that often! 2 boys making milestones and something to play for! Himona's 150th official cap and Logz hits 50 for his blazer!

See you down at Cherry Grove for our Div 1 Final against Piopio!

Another Epic Milestone the weekend with Logz running out for his 50th Blazer Game! Logan has built himself into a passionate Tuna Man and a cornerstone of our backline.

We missed him terribly when he had his little season away but he's back, badder than ever. Ready to take on Piopio in his 50th Cap for the club.

Thanks Logz for your passion on and off the field. We can't wait to watch the next 50. UTT!!!

A massive achievement this weekend for an absolute legend of the club! We all know that this number is way higher, but this is since we have been counting.

Himona's love and dedication to this club cannot be matched. The effort he has put into us all over over two decades, on and off the field is unbelievable and we can't thank him enough for what he has brought to our club.

The boys are so excited to be celebrating this huge milestone with Himona and his family and friends this Saturday in our Div 1 final against Piopio.

Good on ya Monz!
