Ranfurly Shield comes to visit Room 27


Today we had a special visitor in room 27.
Tabai Matson (Isaac's Dad and the coach of the Canterbury Rugby Team) came to bring the Ranfurly Shield and the Cup the team has won for being the best in NZ. He told us a bit of the history behind the Shield. It is 108 years old and was presented to Auckland by Lord Ranfurly as a football (soccer) cup. The picture on the front of the shield is of a game with a round ball.
Thank you Mr Matson
