Glenora Bears

The Glenora Bears are a rugby league football club based in Glen Eden, New Zealand who compete in Auckland Rugby League's Fox Memorial competition. History The club was established in 1931 when the Auckland Rugby League Junior Management Committee accepted their application for membership in June of that year whereby they would enter a team in the Third Grade intermediate competition. Clubs had previously existed in the Glen Eden and New Lynn areas and played under those names and in 1929 the two clubs amalgamated to form Glen Lynn. Glenora lost their first ever match versus Akarana 0–16 at Glen Eden. The club is based at Harold Moody Park in Glen Eden. Their first ever grade win came in 1935 when they won the Hospital Cup for winning the 4th grade competition. In 1962, Glenora tied with Eastern United in the Fox Memorial Grand Final. In 1975, the club controversially signed All Black Joe Karam, then one of the All Black's major players.
