I beg to differ - they are a Central Football side, based in Napier. They are certainly not a Hawkes Bay side.

I don't doubt they're successful, just that 8 of their starting 11 players are not local and that their younger local squad players were used very very sparingly as much as they would debate that.
The only thing I can say is that NCR insist on their players actually living in the area and being part of the Club, both on and off the field, being involved in our academy and the holiday programmes. Most of the 'imports' stay with us, apart from the ones not wanted by HBU who then move off as they are picked up by other franchises and then by offers from new Clubs.
