CLUB HISTORY & COLOURS

The Huntly College Old Boys Rugby Football Club (Inc) was first founded in approximately 1892.  The club became inactive in 1899 but was revived in 1900 and together with Taupiri and Ngaruawahia formed the Lower Waikato Rugby Union in 1902. The club later went into recess but was revived again in the 1950's.

The original clubrooms were located on the playing grounds but in 1973 clubrooms were built on the hilltop.  In 2007 this historic building was made available for sale and the club has now moved back into a clubroom alongside the playing grounds.

The Club has helped develop many Representative players over the years. Players of distinction have included:
