Rugby struggles represent the changing face of Petone
It’s been 15 years since Petone won the region’s top footy competition, the Jubilee Cup. Petone has been the most successful premier team in the competition’s history with 24 outright and two shared titles dating back to 1929.
Petone has historically been the region’s industrial heartland and former All Blacks captain and club stalwart, Andy Leslie, says it was the tough, working-class population that once dominated their playing roster.
The nearby railway workshops and Ford Motor Company plant, Gear meatworks, Unilever and Todd Motors were all major employers through the club’s heyday – between 1967 and 1971 Petone won the Jubilee Cup five years on the trot.
