Grassroots Rugby
Over the last month and a half I have been working with Auckland based television production company, Graeme Veitch Television, on there programme Toyota Grassroots Rugby. It has been quite an adventurous experience, along with fellow reporter Morris West, traveling to all edges of Taranaki to showcase our region the best we can on a national level. The first rugby game we covered was behind Yarrows Stadium, where Spotswood United took on Inglewood, ending in a 28-46 battle to Inglewood. Take a look below..
A few weeks later was the All Blacks match with Ireland, at Yarrows Stadium. As apart of the good will attitude towards kiwi kids, the All Blacks held a kids day, where they could meet and learn skills off the guys themselves. I went and hung out with Ferdie the Taranaki Rugby Mascot (Morris West) for most of the day, and captured a small essence of what was going on..
More reccently, there was a game out at Rahotu with Tukapa taking on Coastal. And the big battle itself at Yarrows Stadium with the Taranaki Senior Club Rugby final, where Tukapa took out the cup over New Plymouth Old Boys. I hope to try to and get these uploaded soon for you all to see.. But in the mean time, stay tuned to the Facebook page http://bit.ly/9b4k38
