Welcome to Radio Wanaka with Jake Burdenshaw

Top Cup Match Recap

The PL Anderson MVY Patrons Cup

Preparing for a Tough Match

The Bus Incident

Wrapping Up with Jake

This weekend, the Upper Clutha Rams head to Ranfurly to take on the Maniototo Maggots in a match that means more than just competition points.

Joining us on the podcast is Rams number eight Jake Burtenshaw, who talks about the significance of the new Patrons Cup, a trophy created to honour two respected figures who played an important role in the club's history.

With the Rams coming off a bye week, Jake shares how the team has prepared for one of the toughest road trips of the season. Ranfurly is known for its physical rugby and unpredictable winter conditions, and the Rams know they'll need to be at their best.

We also chat about the Top Cup clash that featured 11 Rams players, how training has been tracking, and who found themselves under the bus this week.

And then there's the story of a team van, the wrong fuel, and a late-night recovery mission that had the boys talking all week.

It's a great chat covering rugby, club culture, and a few laughs along the way.
