It is about pride. It is about honour. It is about tradition.

The Vasaloloa Belford Memorial Trophy was donated by Talia Belford in 2005 in honour of his late mother. Talia Belford has been a member of the two organisations as both a player and a coach.
2005/2006 - The inaugural contest saw the Wolves shut out the Porirua Giants and bring home the Vasaloloa Belford Memorial Trophy on behalf of their coach, Talia Belford, with a dominating win over the Giants 33-0.
