NEW ZEALAND 1910 (TOUR TO Aust.) 5g career 21g, 5t, 2p,

Was captain of the newly-formed Blackball-ROA club when selected for NZ, history having incorrectly credited Bligh as a Buller All Black when in fact he was a West Coast player

When Blackball club changed codes to league in 1915, Bligh continued to play with the club until 1921, however, he was with United in 1917and Kohinoor 1919-20.

Bligh's given surname was Blight, he, according to family, altered his name because his parents disapproved of him playing rugby. Both spellings were used in Greymouth newspapers. Died 25/03/1955, Christchurch.

by Kevin Hare

Before going into the hotel business he worked for the NZ Electricity Department based at Hokitika. He lived in a NZ Electricity House (State Hydro?) at 3 Mile just north of Hokitika. Then went to the Dominion Hotel Greymouth and started his career in Hotels. In 1937 at the after match dinner, First Test Wellington, v Springbok, he went to the head table and asked to be excused as he had the Ferry to catch to Lyttleton (then I presume railcar / train to Hokitika) as he had to be at work on Monday State Hydro department. At the top table was the Minister of the Crown for State Hydro (name escapes me) and he interjected, told Ron to go back and resume his seat, that he would deal with Hokitika. Ron when playing club rugby would accompany his father, Alexander, to his job as an engineer on various gold dredges around Awatuna area and assist on a Saturday morning. He would then run from Awatuna back to Cass Square in time to play a full 80minutes for Excelsiors, such was his dedication to his sport. And of course we know the splendid results that he achieved in his chosen sport.
