Nominees sought for touch rugby ‘home ground hero’

-

Touch New Zealand has teamed up with one of its sponsors to launch an initiative aimed at recognisin­g and rewarding people at the grass roots.

Bunnings and Touch New Zealand are taking nomination­s for ‘Home Ground Hero’, to recognise people who go above and beyond in support of the game of touch rugby.

It might be someone who drives players to every game or who makes sure the kit is washed and ready to go each week, or it could be someone who helps to coordinate tournament­s so that they are enjoyable for all.

Five people would be selected to receive $5000 for their team to help with membership fees, uniforms, tournament travel and other touch rugby gear.

Nomination­s close on March 25, 2022, and can be made via touchnz.co.nz/ bunnings-home-groundhero­es.
