Saturday 7th September Trust House Memorial Park
Message from the Wairarapa Bush President
On behalf of the Wairarapa Bush Rugby Football Union, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the players, management and supporters from the King Country Union to this third round game of the 2019 Heartland competition.
This week’s game will be an interesting encounter, as the two teams have a win and a loss for the season, with King Country six places higher on the table over the locals.
Wairarapa Bush looks forward to this week’s game with confidence as they roll out a fully homegrown squad. The home games are a must win on the turf and in front of a home crowd. All the best boys, for a win, and the season will look very promising.
May I congratulate all the recipients at the WBRU Annual Awards Function held last week.
On behalf of our Union may I wish everyone an enjoyable day of rugby.
Bryan Weatherstone
Message from the Wairarapa Bush Chairman
On behalf of Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union, I would like to welcome you here for this third round match of the Mitre 10 Heartland championship. A special welcome to the King country players, coaches, management and officials who have travelled down to support their union.
Both teams come into this game with a win and a loss under their belts. For Wairarapa Bush, we are looking to bounce back from a unfavourable result under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium last weekend, whilst King Country come into the game with confidence after producing a great result over Buller at home in Taupo. What the first two weeks of competition have shown, by results across the championship, is that this year is the closest we have seen in a long time and it is shaping up to be another great edition of the Heartland championship.
Congratulations to all players who participated in the New Zealand Heartland XV rugby match against Manu Samoa last weekend, in particular our captain James Goodger. What a fantastic opportunity and spectacle for Heartland rugby.
I also wish to express my appreciation at the ongoing support of our major sponsor Trust House, and all other sponsors, volunteers who make today possible. I also wish to acknowledge Mitre 10 for their involvement in what is a fantastic rugby championship competition.
Finally, congratulations to all finalists and winners from our annual rugby awards, and special mention to Tipene Haira who was recognised for his outstanding year so far.

WAIRARAPA BUSH SUPPORTERS CLUB
A warm welcome to King Country and their supporters. As usual our club rooms, the magnificent Gravel Pit is open before and after the games to chew the fat on last and this week’s games.
Last week a large contingent of us went to Dunedin for the North Otago clash. We all loved Forsyth Barr Stadium, so easy to get in and around. The game was very even until we started losing players to injuries. Along with the injury to James Goodger in the Heartland vs Manu Samoa clash. We would hope our stringers are up to it.
On 20th September were off to Paeroa for the Thames Valley encounter. There are still a few places available on the bus, we need confirmation of place ASAP. The cost of the trip is $150, enquire at the Gravel Pit or contact Bruce on 0278413165. The format is Taupo on Friday night and returning to again on Saturday after the 1pm game then home to Masterton on Sunday. We would also like to know if there is an interest in the Mid Canterbury game on the 12th of October in Ashburton.
See you after the games at the magnificent world-renowned Gravel Pit. “GO THE MIGHTY WAIRARAPA BUSH”
