50th Anniversary Celebration: Special Opportunity for U13 Players

In honor of our 50th anniversary, New Zealand Marist Rugby is thrilled to announce an exciting event for our younger players: the U13 Pompallier Shield, serving as a curtain-raiser for the Colts/Development team game against the Canterbury Under-19s in Christchurch on 10th August.

Nomination Details:

We invite clubs to nominate up to three players in the Under-13 grade to participate. Nominations must be submitted by 1st July using the forms available on the Marist website. 

Event Schedule:

Selected players will travel to Christchurch on Thursday, 8th August, and stay until Saturday, 11th August. The cost for each player is $1,000 plus GST, covering travel, gear, food, and accommodation.

Event Format:

The event will feature a North vs. South format, combining South Island teams with lower North Island teams due to the number of Marist clubs in the South Island.

Support and Participation:

We encourage clubs to support this initiative, as the Pompallier Shield has not been contested for several years. This event promises to be a fantastic spectacle, showcasing the talents of our younger players.

Thank you for your attention and support. We look forward to your nominations and making this a memorable event for our young players.
