Wrestling  lasses are now underway on a Wednesday night at the club from 5.30pm.

With a challenging 2020/2021 years New Zealand Wrestling is looking for a ‘new normal’ with the national calendar looking full of new and old tournaments!

Featherston Amateur Wrestling Club is proud to announce its hosting of the 2022 New Zealand Secondary School Championships in the long weekend of 25 June.  

This will be the first time in many years the club has hosted a national tournament.  Keep an eye out for more information.  Last year Wairarapa had representation from Rathkeale College with medals won by all competitors.  This year we are hoping to have representation from more colleges to really put Wairarapa and Wrestling on the map!

Featherston Amateur Wrestling is proud to have finalists, Wairangi Sargent, for Tai Tamariki Tane, Spencer Telford for Tai Ohi Tane and Jenna Telford for Tino Tautoko categories in the Wairarapa Maori Sports Awards for 2021.  Being held via livestream on Monday 28 March at 7pm from the Featherston Amateur Wrestling Facebook Page, Wairarapa TV YouTube Channel or Freeview UHF Channel 41.

We are looking for registrations of interest for a girls only class open to all ages.  If you are interested in wrestling for fun, a girls only class, competition or New Zealand Secondary School Championships please check out our Facebook page and message or touch base with Dannii on 0279206751.
