Arrowtown Rugby Club News

Premier Rugby News

Arrowtown once again had a very successful 2010 season with 11 Wins, 2 loses and 2 Draws. Arrowtown again held onto the much sort after White Horse Cup for the second year in a row.

After convincingly beating arch rivals Wakatipu in the Semi Final 26-8, they travelled to Maniatoto for the final attempting to win their 3rd consecutive Central Otago title. After a very competitive battle with the lead changing hands many times, Arrowtown was denied the title by a Charlie Hore drop goal from 40 metres with 2 minutes remaining. Maniototo 17 Arrowtown 15.

5 players made the Otago Country Premier Team and 1 made the Otago Country Under 20 Team.
