Come on down to OD today to cheer on our prems.

It's a huge day at home this weekend as we take on Waitomo in our final defence of the Hetet Shield.

One more win and the shield is ours for the season. 💪🏆

We're also celebrating a couple of milestones:
🖤 Tom Ryan – Blazer Game (50 games)
🖤 Mali – 25 games

Get down and support the boys as they look to finish the job on home turf and bring the shield home for good.
