Foxton Rebels Rugby League Club

About

Foxton Rebels Rugby League Club, on North Island, has its ground at 19 Bristol Street, Levin 5510, New Zealand. First-time visitors should expect a local sports ground with club facilities rather than a large stadium, and match days bring players, families and supporters together. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 6 reviews places it well among those who use it.

Reaching the ground from Wellington, Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier or New Plymouth involves a drive, and Levin sits on the main route through the lower North Island. The club's website at http://www.hkrfu.co.nz/ carries its details. Foxton Rebels Rugby League Club operates as a sports centre serving the surrounding district.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the playing calendar follows that pattern. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common.

Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
