What are your highlights and memories of Hamilton Rugby Club?
I came part way through the season after the NZ season had finished, moving from Hamilton New Zealand to Hamilton Scotland. I joined a team that had a mix of old (Craig Sangster, Richard Maxton, and Big Davie Gemmell), young players (Craig Inglis, Ralph McInally, and the likes), locals, and foreigners!
I remember it being a tough season, where we struggled a bit with consistency but the effort was massive and we had a lot of fun on and off the field.
The highlight would have to be the bus trips with Selkirk away being a memorable game. I'm not sure of the end result but I do remember everyone getting up for that game in particular and the match being a real arm-wrestle of a contest.
A low light for me at least would be having to come off at halftime during one game because I was slurring my words and disorientated by the horizontal ice cold rain, I believe the condition is called hypothermia but the boys had other names for it (and me)!

A special thank you to Robbo (Ian Robinson) that introduced me to malt whisky in all its glory!

I really enjoyed my time at the Bulls, and am will always be grateful for the role it played in the five-year stint I had in Scotland, leading to the eventual meeting of my wife Stephanie.

What's going on at the moment on and off the field?
After the Bulls, I played two seasons at Glasgow Hawks followed by two seasons with Heusenstamm in Germany.
Eventually moving back to New Zealand in 2013 when I promised Stephanie I'd retire due to injuries, work, family, etc the usual.
I convinced her I needed one more season to retire happy, as my last game for my club Hamilton Marist was losing a semi-final to Fraser Tech, and I would also have the opportunity to play alongside one of my younger brothers Luke for the first time.
I managed two more seasons and have since hung up the boots and am now focusing on other things like our 4 children and work.
I am currently working as a companion animal vet at a clinic in Hamilton that I own together with another vet.

Thanks for the update Bart and remember that you always have a home at the Bulls.
