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. During this time the Wave won the Division 2 championship in 2008 & 2009, then went on to make the big move into Division 1 in 2010.
The Godfather absolutely loved the Wave and was always sideline whenever we played rain, hail or shine. One of life's genuine blokes, always had a smile on his face and time for a chat!
His passion was second to none and we are forever grateful for his influence on Sumner Rugby.

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
