Grays Painters have become the naming rights partner of Taranaki Secondary School Rugby for 2022.
Local high school rugby will be known as Grays Painters Secondary School Rugby.
Grays Painters Secondary School Rugby is scheduled to commence on Saturday May 7 across four male grades and a female grade. 40 teams are set to take to the fields around Taranaki Maunga representing 10 secondary schools.
Taranaki high schools are the breeding ground for the next generation of CMK Club Rugby players and high-performance rugby players.
From Michael Bent at Hawera High School to Kyle Stewart at Stratford High School through to Michaela Blyde at New Plymouth Girls High School, each local Taranaki secondary school has produced several household names in recent years.
Taranaki Rugby Participation & Development Manager Brad Cooper was looking forward to getting Grays Painters Secondary School Rugby underway.
"In 2022 there will be two more sides competing in the Grays Painters Secondary School competitions. The game continues to grow in the Secondary Schools girls’ space. In 2022 all schools will field Under 16 girls’ sides and in addition to these teams both NPGHS and SHGC will take part in the newly developed Chiefs Under 18 Girls competition.
In a challenging environment we are really excited about these outcomes for the community game in our province. Taranaki Rugby would like to thank Grays Painters for their support of this crucial community competition that all players and supporters are so passionate about.”
