Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Thames Valley Rugby Union Handbook. We wish you all the best for another rugby packed year with so much to look forward to. There is a new sponsor for the Club Rugby competition, a Ranfurly Shield challenge against Otago and a Meads Cup title to defend.

H.G.Leach and Co. have come on board with Thames Valley Rugby to sponsor the Club Rugby competitions for the next three years. They are a well-established business in our local community with a long association with rugby in Thames Valley and we are delighted to have them as sponsors.

The Council of Club delegates have decided on a change in format of the competition this year, with two full rounds for Senior A and Senior B teams. There will be ten teams in Senior A and eight in Senior B and the teams will stay in their respective grades for the whole season.

For the third time in six years, Thames Valley has been successful in being granted a Ranfurly Shield challenge, albeit by virtue of being the current Meads Cup champions. This means a trip to the South Island to take on Otago at the Wanaka Showgrounds on Saturday 13th July. There is a great deal of interest from Thames Valley supporters within the union so a good turnout of Scarlet and Gold colours is expected at the game.

The current coaching crew, led by Matthew Bartleet, is back to defend their Meads Cup title and have a crack at the Log o’ Wood. After all the heroics of 2018, Thames Valley will no longer be able to fly under the radar, with the other Heartland Teams out to get the Meads Cup away from us.

The Thames Valley Supporters Club was a revelation last year and was the catalyst for unprece- dented support at both the semi-final and final games in the Meads Cup campaign. We are expecting more of the same again this year and we encourage you all to join up this year and grow a strong support base for the team.

Ted Engebretsen continues in the position of Patron of the Union this year with Kelly Plummer as President. Edmond Leahy continues in his role as Chief Executive Officer with the Board of Management ever supportive behind the scenes.

The Thames Valley Rugby Union would like to thank our advertisers and sponsors, for all their support and we wish everyone involved in rugby in Thames Valley a great 2019.

Morrissey Cup - 2nd Round Winners Thames Rugby & Sports McDonald Cup - Championship Winners Waihou A Brief History... Thames Valley Rugby Football Union was formed in 1922. The large South Auckland Rugby Union, which covered the Goldfields, Waikato and King Country areas ran into difficulties in 1921 as constituent unions were seeking to break away and gain full union status from the New Zealand Rugby Union. Rugby in the Thames Valley Rugby Football Union’s area has been linked to those romantic pioneering days of the timber and mining industries of the 1870s. The game was played in Coromandel and Thames from 1870 with Auckland players travelling to Thames to play games. As the timber and mining spread south from Thames to Paeroa and the farming activities came east from Hamilton so did the game spread into the Thames Valley.

The first clubs outside Thames were Katikati and Waihou, based at Waitoa, in 1880. On the Coromandel Peninsula clubs affiliated with Auckland were Mercury Bay, Whitianga, Tairua in 1888 and a year later came another four clubs, three of them in Coromandel. The first club in Te Aroha was in 1883, Paeroa in 1886 and Waihi in 1895. While Thames and Coromandel country unions remained with Auckland, the Paeroa, Waihi and Piako (in 1930 renamed Te Aroha) unions formed the Ohinemuri Union in 1899, which was the fore-runner of the Thames Valley Rugby Union as we know the union today. By 1904 these three unions were joined by Karangahake union to establish the Goldfields Rugby Union. The founding unions and clubs were Paeroa (West, East Suburbs), Waihi (City, West Suburbs, Katikati) Karanga- hake (City Suburbs, West End, Waitekauri, Waikino) Piako (Te Aroha, Waihou, Manuwaru). In 1909 the Goldfields joined Waikato (Hamilton, Cambridge, Waipa), and next Rotorua, King Country, Maniapoto and Opotiki to form the South Auckland union. The next season, 1911, Rotorua and Opotiki withdrew to form the Bay of Plenty Union.

The Ohinemuri Union was founded at Waihī in 1896, and by 1904 this union was named the Goldfields Rugby Union. It consisted of a number of even smaller unions, but was itself a sub-union of the Auckland Rugby Football Union (ARFU), and was therefore not directly affiliated to the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU). Along with a number of other sub-unions, the Goldfields ceded from the ARFU to form the South Auckland Rugby Football Union in 1909.

Several sub-unions split away from the South Auckland Union between 1909 and 1921 to form new independent unions, and in 1921 the Hauraki Plains, Paeroa, Piako, Waihī sub-unions did the same to form the Thames Valley Rugby Football Union (TVRFU). The union was from then on directly affiliated to the NZRU. The Thames Valley Union, which had remained affiliated to the ARFU up until then, joined the TVRFU in 1951.

After the First World War (1914-1918) and rugby came out of recess the South Auckland Union was in trouble with first the Waikato withdrawing in 1920 to form the Waikato Union, and at the end of the next season the King Country Union was formed. At the start of the 1922 season the Goldfields underwent a name change to Thames Valley Rugby Football Union. The four inaugural sub-unions were Paeroa (West, Hikutaia, Suburbs, Netherton, Komata), A Brief History...
