Papakura stalwart Brockson Brown will celebrate 100 Premier games for his beloved club when they face Ardmore Marist at Massey Park on Saturday.
Brown has been a tremendous servant for Papakura, particularly through some lean years at senior level.
Tough as teak, with a big motor and able to play multiple positions, Brown has been a fixture in the side since making his debut in 2017 fresh out of school.
He is part of the Brown family that has made a huge contribution to the Papakura club over the years – father Willie is a club legend and life member while sister Stacey captains the women’s side and is a long-time Counties Manukau Heat representative.
“He is one of the ultimate club players in terms of loyalty,” said club president Rod Honan. “If you could clone him 100 times your club would be in perfect shape.
“I congratulate Brockson on a terrific career to this point and look forward to seeing much more from him in the years ahead.”
It caps a special day for the club with one of their leading female players also being recognised for playing 100 games.
Crystal Wellington (nee Mahara) will also celebrate her century, which she brought up a few weeks ago. Her blazer will be presented by husband Nui Wellington, who played 150 games for the club.
