Proud Sponsors of the Melville Women’s Rugby Team

The Cater Plus Foundation are proud Gold Sponsors and supporters of the Melville Women’s Rugby team this season. Rugby is an influential and important part of many regional communities Cater Plus operates in. It brings people together fostering passion, drive, and social connections.

The women in red and green have had a stellar season to date, competing in the Gallagher Women’s Premiership Competition in the mighty Waikato. The team have showed passion and energy throughout the competition and have had some spectacular wins. A highlight of the season was their 67-10 win over Putaruru. Currently the team have made it to the finals of the competition after a 15-8 win over Otorohanga in the semi-finals this weekend.

With over 300 members the Melville Rugby Club has been serving Hamilton locals since 1959 to provide family orientated social and competitive rugby and netball. The club hosts men’s, women, and junior grades, along with netball teams. Women’s rugby is grossly underrepresented, but the caliber and talent of female rugby players is outstanding, as shown by the efforts of the Melville Women’s team. They have won the last three Women’s Premiership Competitions and are strong contenders to win the 2021 competition.

The Cater Plus Foundation has been actively contributing to sports in New Zealand communities since its formation in 2012 making it more accessible for those wanting to play. Our sponsorship to the Melville Women’s team is contributing to the Player of the Day award, the Wellbeing Fund for the team which helps the players in times of hardship or need, after match meals, and much more. We wish the team all the best for their upcoming final and congratulations for a wonderful season.
