Story

Morrinsville Rugby and Sports club was formed formed in 1996 by the amalgamation of Marist-St Josephs and Morrinsville Old boys rugby clubs. The union of the clubs was intended to unite rugby within the community and prevent the exodus of talented players to the Hamilton clubs.
The club has grown with its community through the years and now supports more than just rugby. Currently, Morrinsville Sports has rugby teams for Senior A & B, Colts, U85kg and Golden Oldies as well as Rugby 7’s and 13 grades of junior rugby. In Netball the club has up to 7 Teams competing in the Thames Valley Competition and numerous junior teams. In the summer the club hosts a 14 week, 46 team touch module.
Within its short history the club has had reasonable success. In 2009 the Senior A rugby team won the Waikato Breweries Shield for the Premier Competition. Locally they were awarded Piako Sports Team of the year for this success. The U85kg team has also had its fair share of success winning their grade in 2011 & 2012.
The Colts are also very successful, making the play-offs most seasons and winning outright in 2012.
The clubrooms themselves are often found to be the hub of community events hosting wedding receptions, Tai Chi, 21st celebrations and more.
Looking to the future, Morrinsville sports has a vision to support the needs of the community as much as the community provides support for the club. As we grow and evolve we strive for excellence in every aspect of what we do, while holding onto that friendly country club culture that makes us unique.
