Hi All,

I am looking for someone to organise the Kaipaki Nation Prizegiving for this year. As I’m getting married and plus knee deep in rugby work I need someone to help me out on this…there must be someone out there that will do it??

Hello Kaipaki Nation,

We are always looking for quirky and interesting ways to keep things fresh at Kaipaki. Our latest creation is Kaipaki National News which is a Youtube Channel. As it is our goal to qualify for the 2019 ICC World Cup we have decided to give our players practice at speaking at press conferences. Below 3 players – Fraser Kilgour, Charlie Parker and Michael Clayton chat before Saturday’s games. I hope you enjoy these as we are well into the business end of the season.

The Annual Kaipaki Six A Side Cricket Tournament is this Thursday, Waitangi Day. This is a big day for Kaipaki Nation and nothing gets the blood flowing more than a bit of inter club rivalry! Looks like 8 competitive teams this year – Hertz will go into th event as firm favourites as that team is represented by most of the Mike Cotter winning Kaipaki team which includes Kaipaki’s captain Fraser Kilgour and the 2 Poms Charlie and Tim. Frucor have stolen a couple of good players as well with last Saturdays century maker Carl Schwarz and veteran Dean Busch leading the side. Challenge will be interesting…the word on the street for the last 12 months is that former Black Cap Nathan Astle is playing…even if he is he will still be second for talent in that team as Taz Kapadia will lead Team Challenge from the front!

Teams that are competing

Frucor, Five Stags, ITM, Kaipaki Colts, Challenge, Kaipaki, Kaipaki Spirit, Hertz,
