all started as 6yr olds with the club too - a few more on the make apparently....
Not True.
Higgins started at Upper Hutt than to Stop Out than to Lower Hutt when about 15
Shrijvers started out at Petone than moved to Lower Hutt.
Checked this out -Schrijvers was at Petone then switched to Lower Hutt at age 8yrs. Don't think we can claim him as a Petone boy 11 - 12 yrs later!!
