DID YOU KNOW
THAT – at the Tukapa RFC hosted 88TH Spillane tournament in New Plymouth this weeks the draw for the top division Spillane Cup sees defending trophy holders Napier Old Boys Marist vs last years beaten finalists Hutt Old Boys Marist. While the other coupling will see Hastings Rugby & Sports pitted against Wellington Marist St Pats. Round two will be winners v winners and losers v losers. The first round losing sides Napier OBM and Hastings R&S will delay settling that score as they are due to play each other in the Nash Cup on 30 March at Tremain Field.
THAT the above is a selection of action pics of our former hard running Premier winger Craig Sharplin in action and it looks like he’s developed his SBW pass to perfection too. These shots were from a recent match for the Consett rugby club that he has teamed up with which is in Durham just out of Newcastle in England. Unfortunately Craig has had a number of injuries since being there but apart from these hick-ups he is certainly loving the experience of being over there, as well he also has four other kiwi team mates on their OE’s in the clubs senior side too. P.S. Judging by the end pic you could be mistaken in thinking that Waikato were playing Taranaki !
THAT a REMINDER notice to all former Napier High School Old Boys rugby players – mark Saturday 18 May on your calendar and diary – The Club is holding a get-together for you at our Park Island clubrooms which will tie in with our WIT Trust Premier team’s home game against old rivals Taradale (kick-off 3pm). The curtainraiser will be the clubs Premier Development XV vs Taradale at 1.15pm.
Remember to pass the word around amongst your old team mates – See YOU at the club on the 18th May…
THAT – Though wisdom is good in the beginning, it is better at the end.
THAT a pic of the latest intake of Chilean and Argentinian teenagers who are the attending the Hawkes Bay Global Academy which is based at Tremain Field and out of our clubrooms. The boys are also making good use of the HBRU gymnasium and fitness equipment as well as getting expert tuition in their upskilling course from staff coaching team. Ellery Wilson centre front is co-ordinating the program with assistance from fellow Magpie Mason Emerson and also Black Fern Krystal Cottrell.
THAT an important reminder to players both old and new that there are still vacancies in most grades – team training is now under way each Tuesday & Thursday at 6pm at Bond Field, Park Island >>> Come along and bring a mate. All new plyers and school leavers Welcome.
THAT Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby extend our hearty Congrats in advance to the Ashburton Celtic club who will be celebrating their clubs Centenary over the upcoming Easter weekend. Certainly a great milestone in any clubs history. And the best of luck with your Celebrations guys.
THAT if you know of anyone that is interested in joining our regular TeamTalk mailouts then please forward their name and email address to – New members and supporters of our Rugby and affiliates Marist sports club always Welcome.
THAT message to non-playing members and supporters have you paid your 2019/20 subs yet ?
THAT a reminder to our readers – If YOU would like to contribute or offer your comments, complaints re rugby in general or our Club, then send a ‘Letter to the Editor’. Please feel free to email your contributions to – eddiewilson@xtra.co.nz We look forward to your comments and thoughts. Don’t bottle it up or tell someone else contact TeamTalk today.
++++ The biggest mistake you can ever make, is being afraid to make one
THEY SAID IT
“So there’s been a bit of finger pointing and soul searching. We’re in a hole basically. We’re 0-3 and we don’t like it, it’s uncomfortable, it’s disappointing.”
Chiefs coach Colin Cooper lays it on the line following his sides three consecutive opening losses.
“Yeah, I’ve been here a few times. So it’s just about staying calm and staying with them and keeping them together and making sure we don’t have little splinters going on.”
Cooper continues.
“I just sat down and looked at all the different aspects of making a decision – it really stood out.”
Kieran Read on having the break and taking his young family on a rugby experience to live and play in Japan.

The Leprechaun Comments
An Irishman goes into a bar in America and orders three whiskeys. The barman asks: “Would it be better for if I put all three shots in one glass?”
The Irishman replies: “No! I have two other brothers back at home, so every time I come into a pub, I order a shot for them both.”
The following week, the Irishman orders just two whiskeys.
The barman asks: “Did something happen one of your brothers?” “Oh no,” replies the Irishman. “I just decided to quit drinking!”
~~~~~~~~~~~
“Is that the Ballycashel Echo?” asks Mick.
“How much would it be to put an ad in your paper?”
“Five pounds an inch,” a woman replies. “Why? What are you selling?”
“A ten-foot ladder,” said Mick before slamming the phone down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paddy was in New York, patiently watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, “Okay pedestrians”. Then he’d allow the traffic to pass.
He’d done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted “Pedestrians” for the 10th time, Paddy called over to him, “Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?”

We look forward to seeing all rugby players, footballers, netballers, cricketers and softballers and friends at the clubrooms each Saturday – Pop in for cool Tui or two – Also bring along your mates for an Ale and a chat. All members and Friends Welcome …………. Ed
