  • CLUB ESTABLISHED AFTER SUB-UNION SPLIT to Those of A
    CLUB ESTABLISHED AFTER SUB-UNION SPLIT To those of a generation who witnessed the advent, this is quite a story and a satisfactory answer to years of frustrations, suggestions, ideas and planning to achieve a satisfactory scheme for our district to do honour to this illustrious game of Rugby that we love. To those who did and gave so much to the formation of “Western” a large debt of gratitude is owed. The planning, the materials, the cartage, the drainage, the financing, so much was given. Names we will not mention they are too numerous and anyway those who gave only little most likely did their utmost. THE ORIGINS Kaipara Sub-Union as it was known covered an area from Hobsonville in the South to Glorit and Silverdale in the North. East Coast Bays in the East and all that rugged West Coast line from Bethels to the Kaipara Harbour. During World War II rugby went into recess and it was in 1946 that enthusiasm was rekindled. Clubs to answer the call were Glorit, Combined Maoris, Parakai, Helensville, Kaukapakapa, Silverdale, East Coast Bays, Hobsonville Air Force, Hobsonville Civilians, Whenuapai Air Force and Kumeu. The competition was keen, fields were paddocks, donated buy some generous “Cockies” washing facilities, a cattle trough, a creek or were non-existent – playing gear a lot to be desired and transport the back of the local “Carriers” truck. Ages in some teams ranged from 16 to 46 but there were exceptions. “Ah”, the perfect bliss of playing on well-groomed Air Force grounds – hot showers, a cool beer in the mess – then home to milk the cows (by hand).
