The league club continuing the Pasifika legacy in Grey Lynn | STILL HERE S2 | Episode 3

“The Richmond Rovers and Grey Lynn park go hand in hand. It wouldn’t feel the same anywhere else.” The Richmond Rovers Rugby League Club is a Polynesian mecca, bringing back generations of Pacific players and their families to Grey Lynn park every week. Subscribe: bit.ly/subscribe-re
For 110 years the club has been based in the park. That central city legacy continues despite 95% of the members now living out of inner-city Auckland. The club survives by its values of loyalty, family and service.
STILL HERE is a love letter to our inner-city Auckland Pasifika community. Since the 1950s, the Pasifika community has cultivated a unique Central Auckland identity that many of the community’s youth proudly embrace; both as an act of resistance from ongoing gentrification and as an unapologetic reminder that they and their families are Still Here.

Mean video whanau. I used to make the journey from Mangere East in the 80s and 90s and Richmond was our second home cause of our Niuean whanau scattered amongst the Senior B sides, Rovers, Bulldogs and Toke! My dad and uncles played hard against Richmond and then rocked up amongst the boys in the clubhouse for few before heading back to Mangere! God Bless Richmond Rovers!
