Glenfield Rugby Union and Sports Club Inc. was formed in the late 1960s. Four men and their families, some affiliated with Northcote Rugby, met with the then secretary of the Auckland Rugby Union, Link Warren. History With the support of the Auckland Rugby Union, a new club (under the umbrella of Northcote Rugby Union headed by Snow White) was formed known as the Glenfield Rugby Football Club (now known as Glenfield Rugby Union and Sports Club Inc.).Glenfield, New Zealand The original club was located on Archers Road, currently home to the Glenfield Rovers Football club. Two or three years would pass before the North Shore City Council would provide new grounds to the club being constructed out of strawberry fields at Kaipatiki Road. Glenfield Rugby club was awarded senior status by the Auckland Rugby Union in 1973. From 1974 to 1984 Glenfield fielded a senior team in the Auckland Rugby Union third division. The Glenfield Grizzlies Presidents grade side was also formed in 1975 by club stalwarts Glen "Bungy" Williams, Ken Cooksley, the late Ted Wilson, and the late Roy Doddrell. In 1985 the Glenfield Grizzlies team had the honour of playing at Twickenham in London, England. Glenfield club members refer to it as "the game that made Twickenham famous". From 1985 to 2019, Glenfield has played in the Senior A division of the North Harbour Club rugby competition. For the 2019 and 2020 seasons Glenfield only fielded a team in the North Harbour Senior Reserves competition. In 2021 the Glenfield Seniors returned to playing in the premier division of the North Harbour club competition, much to the relief of the club's supporters and sponsors. In 1986, Mark Hellyer was the first provincial player to be selected from Glenfield to play for the newly formed North Harbour Rugby Union. In 1987 Glenfield changed their colours from rust jerseys and blacks shorts to Red and White jerseys with black shorts. Glenfield now plays in red, black and white hoops (colours similar to Counties Manukau NPC). In 1989 Walter Little was the first All Black to be selected from the Glenfield club. Little went on to play for the New Zealand All Blacks from 1989 to 1998. Walter played 55 tests for the All Blacks. Walter Little also shares the record for most games played (147 games) for North Harbour alongside Ron Williams who played for the Northcote club. Walter's son Michael
