Rugby and golf fans alike gathered at the Whangārei Golf Club yesterday for the annual Northland Rugby Union golf day.

The event, from which the funds raised will support the Rugby For Life programme, was a chance for some of the Northland rugby community to celebrate 2019's rugby season with a selection of past and present Northland players.
