Counties Manukau Rugby Union will adopt NZ Rugby's new mobile application for the 2019 club season.

The My Rugby App was released in 2018 as a trial.  Following the trials success, the App has now been made available to provincial unions to use as a tool for reviewing a competition draw, for team managers to upload scoring and match results, and for supporters and players to view competition standings. 

Club Manager Kelly Flavell says the new App will make it much easier for parents and supporters to follow their favorite Ardmore Marist teams and make information flow to our supporters more efficient.  "The My Rugby App is going to be a fantastic tool for our members.  Anything which makes it easier for our players and parents to access information has got to be good.  It's been long awaited." 

Anyone who downloads the free My Rugby App will have visibility of upcoming and previous fixtures, along with times, dates and location for those fixtures for the teams they follow.  A user can follow multiple teams from multiple clubs.

Flavell says many of the clubs supporters lead very busy lives and they are hungry for information on the move.  "The My Rugby App will make it possible for interested parties to access real-time information whenever and wherever they want it.  Ardmore Marist will make this tool  available for  all of our junior competition grades and senior teams, so it's going to be a well utilised platform, that's for sure!"

The CMRFU senior draw is being completed through January and it is hoped that this will be finalised and released on the App in the first week of February 2019.

Ardmore Marist is hoping to field Men's Premier 1, Womens Premier,  Men's Premier 2, U21, U85kg, Division 3, Men's 7's and Womens Development teams in 2019.  These teams will be subsequently loaded into the My Rugby App once confirmed.

All returning and new members are welcome to attend senior pre-season training at Pulman Park on Tuesday and Thursday nights, starting 630pm sharp.  The Premier 1 and Premier 2 competitions will kick off on Saturday March 9th 2019.
