"We had people donating stays at beach baches for auction and all manner of other items. We also had two All Blacks jerseys and one each from the Chiefs and Hurricanes. They were all signed and we did them up properly encasing them in specially made cabinets," Amon said.
"The first All Blacks jersey fetched $1300 and the second $3000, but we raised much of the money from items donated by local businesses, including some from Wanganui and beyond. We are aiming to send a team, not necessarily the premier side, on a pre-season tour in Australia early next year, but the money raised may also act as an attraction to any new players considering joining Border. The golf club also benefited through the bar and the tournament. Thanks to the generosity of the Waverley community - we are very grateful."
