The Magpies’ backs Cranford Hospice with limited edition jersey
Cranford Hospice has been chosen as the charity to benefit from fundraising around a one-off jersey for the Magpies’ first home game in this year’s national rugby championship.
The match against Counties Manukau at McLean Park, Napier, on August 12, will double as the Magpies’ 12th defence in the present Hawke’s Bay Ranfurly Shield era should the trophy be retained in two earlier defences against two Heartland amateur rugby sides. It’s the third season of the charity jersey concept in a partnership between the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union and principal sponsor TotalEnergies NZ.
