The West Coast association used to play a rep team against a Sunday League selected squad. SSL used to play vs Dunedin and Wellington rep teams back in time.
Avonhead [Sunday League club] used to take a couple of teams over back in the 70s to play the West Coast rep or Marist teams. A couple or three National League players went with them for a good night or two on the large ones.
Shame I was late for the bus one year, held the bus up and had to take the seat next to the driver. Sigh.
Some well known Brighton lads also made those trips. Cops closed the Jacksons pub before we got there on the way back one year, we must have made an impression in town that year.
Other club [pre EQ days] teams from Nomads, Parklands and Varsity masters grades have gone over for a tournament put on by the Marist club.
