Last night we held a celebration of Taradale Rugby & Sports 2023 senior club season. It was a great night to celebrate our on-field successes as a whanau club and as expected, plenty of difficult decisions to select and award prize winners when there are multiple worthy recipients across the club and teams. “It’s not about the team with the best players, its about the players with the best team”
