We are so very grateful to the Parks & Community Facilities team at Auckland Council! 🙏 🌟
🌟 Shoutout to the incredible Parks and Community Facilities team at Auckland Council! 🌟 Just four weeks ago, the Home of the New Lynn Stags Rugby League Club based at Lawson Park, faced a major setback when someone drove a car onto the field early one morning and set it on fire, severely damaging the playing surface. But thanks to the hard work and dedication of the parks team, you wouldn't even know it happened! Their meticulous work in laying new turf—no easy feat, I’m told—has restored the field beautifully, just in time for the Stags Club Day next week. Huge thanks for your efforts in keeping our parks ready for weekend footy. 👏🌱 The team at ARL have a great relationship with Auckland Council - a meaningful partnership is crucial to the growth of our game.

Auckland Rugby League’s commitment to growing greatness through the game of rugby league is a key platform for leveraging this initiative.

Over the last two years, I have worked to raise the profile of the incredible wahine connected to rugby league. I am proud of the growth of female participation we are seeing in the game and initiatives like ARL Aunties, which give a voice and visibility to the often unsung heroes of our game and communities.
