Taieri Junior 7 Aside Rugby Tournament
The Taieri Queens Birthday weekend Junior 7 aside tournament was first held in 1962 and has been held annually since. The first year the tournament was held was at Memorial Park as the pavilion at Peter Johnstone Park was under construction.
Approximately 40 teams, mainly from the metropolitan area, participated in the inaugural event. Over the past few years there have been an average of 90 teams from throughout Otago participating with each team consisting of 10 players along with families, supporters and coaches – estimated 2000 people at Peter Johnston Park on the day - all being catered for by the club volunteers.
