Our History

In 2012 the Putauaki Stags Rugby League Club started in the Onepu Club Room with a group of people that were inspired to provide our children a chance to play Rugby League without having to travel to Whakatane and to one day become a Incorportated Club. 

A meeting was held at the Onepu Club Room to discuss the future of our Club. After many discussions, parents present at this meeting moved a motion to go under the umbrella of Kawerau Sports Inc. as they were able to provide us with fields to train and host home games, as well as a Club Room that had kitchen facilities to host, opportunities for fundraising and as an established club would be able to provide training equipment to our Rugby League Players. 

Since then we are now known as Putauaki Stags Rugby League - Kawerau Sports Inc.
