Mt Albert Lions

Mt Albert Lions

The Mt Albert Lions are a rugby league club based in Auckland, New Zealand.

The team is in 2008 coached by Brett Gemmell and Steve Buckingham.

They have previously competed in the Bartercard Cup but now just compete in the Fox Memorial competition run by the Auckland Rugby League. Their place in the Bartercard Cup was taken over by the Auckland Lions, an entity which represented Mt Albert as well as other neighbouring clubs. Mt Albert, under the guidance of Brian McClennan, previously has won the Bartercard cup three times, more than any other club.

In 2006 they defended the Roope Rooster Challenge trophy in all eleven of their games and went on to win the Fox Memorial. In early 2007 they lost the trophy to the Te Atatu Roosters.

The Lions are based at Fowlds Park in Unitec Mt Albert.

Their patron is the current Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark.

The Mt Albert Lions are the most successful club in the competitions history being champions three times and twice winning the minor premiership. However the club had a slow start to the competition, not making the playoffs in the first two years.
