NUAFC 1968-2018

1968
Joe Templeton, an engineering and draughting teacher at
Ngaruawahia High School, had a desire to establish a football club in
Ngaruawahia.
For several years the High School had fielded football teams at
various levels and he was of the opinion that these boys, along with
other older players from the community, could form the basis of a club.
The High School would be able to provide the facilities and the playing
fields required.
However, despite the club being established as Ngaruawahia
United, entry into the Waikato Senior Competition for 1968 did not
eventuate and the fledgling group looked ahead to participation in 1969
in the Waikato 2nd Division.
