Yesterday (23 August 2025), we recognised an end of an era when Sam Rausch walked off Maidstone Park for the last time as a Men’s 1st player.
Sam has played over 200 matches for the club, seen Upper Hutt get promoted to Central League twice, a career with the club that has spanned 2 decades, Captained the 1st team for 9 seasons and been a massive contributor to the success Upper Hutt has achieved to date.
Sam isn’t quite ready to hang up his boots just yet so expect him to still be around the club next season.
Thanks Sam for your commitment to the club and all the best for whatever comes next.
