Tomorrow sees the playing of the iconic Mangatainoka Match at the Tui brewery. This year it is the Hurricanes v Blues and we are excited to see a number of GTEC players named to play on both sides. 

For the Hurricanes we have Ben Lam starting on the wing in the number 11 jersey. And fresh from Japan Jono Hickey is the reserve half back. 

At time of writing the Blues side is yet to be named but we are sure we will see Harry Plummer getting some game time. Scott Scrafton is due to make his comeback from injury in the coming weeks. 

So if you are in the Manawatu for the weekend grab your tickets and head along. It'll be a cracker of a match. 3pm kickoff.
