About Fearon Park Twin, Full Size Rugby Field

A touch rugby venue at Fearon Park, 21A Fearon Avenue, in Mount Roskill, Auckland. The venue draws teams from across Auckland's north, west, south and central areas. It hosts social touch competitions and Turbo Touch, including whānau touch in the summer evenings.

Games last 35 minutes, and each season runs for 10 to 14 weeks. Teams are graded before competition sections are set, and the organiser supplies a match ball and a referee. Players register online, and the league system sends fixture reminders by email or text. The organiser says the games are meant to be fun, and it is not a place for overly competitive teams.

We hear the Wednesday afternoon competitions run from 21 October to 2 December, and the Wednesday evening competitions run from 21 October to 9 December, restarting on 20 January. The organiser describes itself as the largest touch organiser in New Zealand, with more than 7,500 registered players.
