THAT’S A WRAP ON THE 2026 SEASON!
And just like that… another season comes to an end!
Our 2026 Prize Giving has officially wrapped up, giving us the chance to celebrate the hard work, commitment, achievements and memories made throughout the season.
It’s been a season filled with plenty of highs, challenges, laughs, tough games, proud moments and, most importantly, whānau, community and our love for the game.
A huge THANK YOU to every player, coach, manager, volunteer, committee member, supporter, sponsor and whānau who played a part in making the 2026 season happen.
To our players thank you for putting your bodies on the line, representing the Lions with pride and giving it your all every week. 🦁
To our coaches, managers and volunteers so much of what happens behind the scenes goes unseen, but your time, energy and commitment does not go unnoticed.
To our whānau and supporters thank you for being on the sideline, travelling, cheering, encouraging and backing our teams through the good and the tough days.
And to our amazing 2026 Committee, thank you for your time, mahi and commitment to our club:
President: Robyn Morete

Club Captain: Windy Sione-Tuisila

THANK YOU TEAM!
A club doesn’t run on game day alone. It takes people willing to put in the mahi before, during and after the season — and we are grateful for everyone who contributed in their own way.
To our sponsors, thank you for continuing to believe in and support the Wainuiomata Lions Rugby League Club. Your support helps us continue providing opportunities for our players, tamariki, rangatahi and whānau.
As we close out 2026, we can look back with pride at what we have achieved together.
From the youngest Lions to our senior teams you have represented the jersey, the club and our community. 🦁
THANK YOU, LIONS WHĀNAU.
