Season 5 is here, albeit a few months late. The crew have been pretty hectic this year but with Old Timers Day 2024 upon us we thought what better time to drop a surprise episode.
Get an update on your Village teams and how they are doing this year. We highlight a trip for the Prems to Ponsonby, a first round Championship for our Ponies and what a great start to the year our colts, Prem Reserves and the mighty Brotherhood are having.
Watch this space for more episodes. We heard ya and we are back!!

RWC and NRL continue to be strong themes in this weeks pod. The heartbreak of the Wahs loss to the Broncs, Wallabies go down to a jubilant Wales and a strong Springboks side loss to tournament co favourites Ireland.
Euge comes back with a quiz, to test the RWC knowledge. Ez is still away with the Schools teams so there is a continued lack of leadership in the crew. Hack does his best to lead us through.
Enjoy your local Saddle Chat and thanks to the tema at Pak n Save Petone for the continued support.
