- Футбольный союз в регби King Country это избирательный союз в Новой Зеландии регби . Он расположен на центральном северном острове Новой Зеландии в районе, известном как страна короля . Он был сформирован в 1922 году, когда Союз регби Южного Окленда был разделен на три (два других составных союза были Вайкато и Долина Темзы ).
Команда King Country играет из Оуэн Делани Парк , Таупо , регби -парк, Те Куити и домен Таумарунуи, Таумарунуи . Страна короля, как и многие другие союзы Heartland, боролись с начала профессиональной эпохи. В 1996 году King Country была в первом отделе NPC, а всего за 6 лет была в третьем дивизионе.
История
[ редактировать ]Первоначальный союз регби King Country был сформирован в 1905 году клубами регби Манунуи, Матапуны, Ойо и Какахи. В 1907 году недавно сформированный клуб регби Taumarunui заменил OIO.
The current King Country Rugby Football Union was formed in 1922, by the amalgamation of the first King Country Rugby Union (which was renamed as the Taumarunui Sub-union in 1922) along with the Ruapehu Sub-union in Ohakune (founded 1908), Maniapoto Sub-union in Te Kūiti (1907) and Ōhura Valley Sub-union (1920). These were joined by Ōtorohanga Sub-union in 1927, Kawhia in 1926 (founded 1920) and Kaitieke in 1933 with the Taupō Sub-union transferring from the Hawkes Bay Rugby Union in 1987. The Ruapehu Sub-union returned to its original parent union the Wanganui Rugby Union in 1970.
This was the second attempt to establish a Rugby Union in the middle of the North Island, as in 1920 the Rangatiki, Taihape, Ruapehu sub-unions (all affiliated to the Wanganui Rugby Union), and the King Country Union (affiliated to South Auckland) had applied for affiliation as the Main Trunk Union. However, this was declined after the Wanganui Rugby Union objected to the loss of their country players.
In those early years King Country representative games were held in Te Kūiti, Taumarunui and Raetihi or Ohakune. Ōtorohanga was first used for a representative game in 1939 with representative games also being hosted in Tokaanu (1966) and Tūrangi (1967).
King Country played in light blue and green until 1949 when it switched to maroon and gold hoops. In 1980, a maroon jersey with gold collar and cuffs was adopted. The current strip has been used since 1994.
King Country has made 19 challenges for the Ranfurly Shield over the years without success but having come close at times, going down to Taranaki in a hard fought game 11–15 in 1958. In 1969 they came even closer when good mates Colin Meads and Kel Tremain were the respective captains, King Country storming back from 6–19 at half time in a torrid second half before going down 16–19.
A well known and amusing challenge in 1988 against Auckland at Rugby Park in Te Kūiti when “Boris the Boar” mysteriously got onto the field and camped in the Auckland 25 for much of the second half.
With the 2020 Heartland Championship cancelled due to Covid-19, the Rams played three First-Class Fixtures against some of their traditional Heartland Rivals. King Country lost their first match against Wairarapa-Bush in the inaugural Mead-Lochore Scroll Fixture (18–22). The won their second fixture versus East Coast (34–22) and in their final game they became holders of the Sir Colin Meads Memorial log beating Whanganui 16–11 in Taumarunui. This game was also Carl Carmichaels 100th first-class game.

Средние школы
[ редактировать ]King Country - это географически крупный профсоюз, охватывающий широкую территорию, однако население очень мало, в результате чего в регионе есть только несколько средних школ. В результате союза регби King Country не имеет консолидированного конкурса средних школ, скорее, школы играют в регби в других провинциях, которые также могут предложить лучшую возможность, такие как Waikato и Bay of Plound Rugby Unions . Эти школы все еще имеют право на получение средних школ King Country и представителей регби U19.
- Колледж колледжа
- Колледж утверждает
- Колледж тауа
- Средняя школа
- Taupo-Nui-A-Tiia College
- Средняя школа Каути
- Школа Хиранги , Туранги
- Школа Тонгариро , Туранги
Вместе эти школы могут бросить вызов Shield Sam Te Kaha, который является проблемой между всеми средними школами King Country.
