Kia ora Sumner Whanau, We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ron Burgess, age 93. For those that didn't know, Ron was involved in our club for many years.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to one of our very finest! Terry Mulholland, aka. 'the Godfather,' was a guiding figure for the Wave from 2006-2011 as the Team Manager.

Sumner Rugby would like to thank Jake Mangin for his two years with us at Sumner Rugby. Jake came to the club when the premiers were languishing near the foot of the table, the premier reserves were struggling to field a team and regularly defaulting and quickly starting turning things around. As he leaves us, our Premier Wave reached their second plate final in two years and our Premier Reserves reached a Plate Semi Final for the first time in many many years. The future looks very bright for our Sumner senior teams and for that we thank Jake for his great work in both off-season and during s ..read more
