The first ever Whaingaroa Whai rugby league game was held at the Raglan Rugby Sports Ground on Saturday, April 1.
It was an inter club trial match between the Whaingaroa Whais and Taharoa Steelers. There was no score kept as it was a friendly but there were about five tries scored by the Steelers and nil by Whaingaroa.
The game was a good showing by the Whais in their first ever game with a lot to build on. Was a great day and night, with the Steelers performing an awesome haka for the home team that raised goosebumps.
It was a very special day in history for the Whais and Whaingaroa who will be playing in the Waikato Rugby League reserve grade for the Steelers in the premiers.
Go the Whais.
