As one season comes to an end we begin building towards the next. We couldn’t host or bring the to Pukekohe without the support of our amazing partners..

We want to say a huge thanks to Ross and the team from Ebbett Pukekohe massive supporters of our game here in Franklin from the grassroots to the NBL. This year they have driven us around in the Kia New Zealand Tasman Ute. The players and staff have been active helping In the community and sharing our game. These Utes are very handy in a tight spot.

Thanks for driving the team guys! Excited for 2027!
