Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | سԹ (UC) Rugby Club’s history with friendly rival Lincoln dates back to 25 June 1883 when the rugby sides first played each other, and there was a good turnout 140 years later at UC’s Ilam campus on Saturday (29 April).

Chancellor Hon. Amy Adams presented the Hart-O’Reilly Trophy to the Men’s Premier team, and Vice-Chancellor Professor Cheryl de la Rey cut the anniversary celebration cake and met with sponsors and alumni. She attended the UC 150th anniversary celebration Service of Thanksgiving that same evening.
