Glenfield Rugby Union and Sports Club Inc

Two or three years would pass before the North Shore City Council would provide new grounds to the club on former strawberry fields at Kaipatiki Road.

The Glenfield Grizzlies Presidents Grade side was also formed in 1975 by club stalwarts Glen "Bungy" Williams, Ken Cooksley, Ted Wilson, and Roy Doddrell.

Glenfield club members refer to it jokingly as "the game that made Twickenham famous".

From 1985 to 2019, Glenfield played in the Senior A division of the North Harbour Club rugby competition.

In 1986, Mark Hellyer became the first provincial player to be selected from Glenfield to play for the newly formed North Harbour Rugby Union.

Walter's son Michael also represented Harbour from the Glenfield club and now plays his rugby in Japan.

Glenfield verses Northcote has always been classed as a friendly and respectful rivalry between the two clubs.

To many this rivalry would be seen as a "Derby of contrasts", as Northcote have established themselves as a North Harbour club rugby powerhouse winning numerous titles across all grades.

The fact Glenfield and Marist are yet to win a North Harbour Premiership adds a lot of intense rivalry and colour to the games between the two clubs.

Glenfield plays an annual pre–season fixture each year with Auckland club Waitakere City.
