Arriving in 2023 will be a new item to purchase for our kit bags - a custom designed Bay of Plenty Rugby Referees coin. This exciting initiative has been well researched with the help of Club legend Grant Wilson, and will feature the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union shield on one side.

Not only will these be available for BOPRU Referees, but they will also make a great token to gift during referee interchanges.

The other side of the coin if up to you! We are looking for design ideas and suggestions. Something that encapsulates or symbolises Bay of Plenty Rugby Referees, or refereeing in general.

CLICK HERE to send in your ideas - you may just want to describe it with words, or attach a picture or drawing as well.

All entries will go in the draw to win one of five coins once they arrive, plus one prize of a $50 credit to purchase referee club merchandise!

Get your ideas in now! Closes 27th November 2022.

To help with inspiration, below are some photos of the Waikato Referees coin. Plus view other coins (not necessarily sport) on this website.
