🏉 ROSS SHIELD 2026 🏉
Such a proud moment being there this evening with our family to watch Reef receive his 2026 Ross Shield cap.
What a phenomenal evening — there may have even been a wee tear shed! 🥹
Reef was incredibly lucky to have so much family there supporting him, including his great-grandmother, making the evening even more special. And a pretty cool full-circle moment having his Uncle Matt there, who also proudly represented Central Hawke’s Bay at Ross Shield in 2002.
So much hard work has gone into earning that cap, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Now we look forward to tournament week in Hastings — bring on Ross Shield 2026! 🏉🙌
Proud is an understatement!
Thank you to New World Waipukurau for sponsoring Reef for the 2026 season. We appreciate you and your team.
Sorry couldn't pick just one photo!
