Featherston Wrestling Club

New Zealand Team at the Oceania Championships.

For the first time in over 15 years Featherston Wrestlers represented New Zealand recently with Nate George and Angus Read taking part in the Oceania Championship and pre-tournament Training Camp over early August. Both boys enjoyed the time at the Australian Institute of Sport focused on wrestling and return with new skills to share with their club mates.

Nate & Angus follow in the footsteps of their Coach Jeremy Sargent and his forebears such as Robert Algie, Nigel Sargent and many others who all performed with distinction for New Zealand wrestling teams in the past.  The club has a long history of producing wrestlers of excellent quality and with the right mix of technical skill, strength, and guile required to excel in the sport.  Pop down to 52 Fitzherbert Street on a Wednesday evening to see the honours board and recognise those legends that have laid the foundations for today.

Coming up are the National Secondary Schools tournament with Club wrestlers representing Kuranui, Rathkeale and Palmerston North Boys High School, the Wellington Regional Championships and the National Championships in Tauranga in early October.  We wish our competitors all the best.
