The Temuka Rugby Football Club recently held their prizegiving for the 2009 rugby season. A big crowd gathered to celebrate both team and individual achievements over the past season.
A highlight of the evening was the presence of former Temuka player and All Black Tom Coughlan, along with a dozen Temuka team mates who played with him in the 1950s and 60s.
