Suttonians RFC was delighted to be represented at a special reception hosted by the New Zealand Embassy, celebrating 60 years of trade relations between Ireland and New Zealand.

Our Club President, Gerry Ussher, and Deputy President, Emer Litchfield, were honoured to attend the event, further strengthening Suttonians' growing relationship with the New Zealand Embassy.

While Ireland and New Zealand may sit on opposite sides of the world, both countries share strong cultural connections, common values and a deep passion for rugby.

For Suttonians RFC, these connections are particularly meaningful. Our club has long enjoyed sporting and personal ties with New Zealand, with rugby providing a natural bridge between our communities.

The reception was a wonderful reminder that international relationships extend far beyond business and diplomacy. They are built through the people, friendships and shared experiences that connect communities across borders.

Suttonians RFC would like to sincerely thank the New Zealand Embassy for their warm hospitality and kind invitation.

We look forward to continuing to develop this relationship, strengthening our sporting and community connections with New Zealand and welcoming more members of the New Zealand rugby community to Station Road in the years ahead.
