‘Team up with Napier Old Boys Marist in 2020’
Maddison Trophy Round 7
NOBM PREMIER 118 TAMATEA 7
Our last home game for the season proved to be a winning one for the Green Machine with an emphatic win to our men while locking away the challenge for the fifth year in a row. The most pleasing thing to see in the game was the attitude of the opposition. They were often kept behind the try line and unlike other teams, they kept positive, upbeat, and focused on what they were trying to achieve out of the game.
Tamatea is one of those sides that always tried to win by beating up their opposition, but now it was great to see them playing with some structure. However, I digress, the men in green and blue had started the week well and training was sweet. Then we went thru the emotional roller coaster of the Lauano funeral and then a quick captain run on Friday night. This is what our week looked like and with a number of players away or injured left Coach Gowler with a number of headaches to sort out.
Coach Gowler had the game ball today to present to the Lauano family blessed at the grave site of Mr Lauano which gave the team something really special to play for.
Game day and the boys looked relaxed and ready to go to work. The whistle went and the boys went about their business. Within a blink of an eye we had three tries on them and it was clearly going to be a one-sided game. So rather than me naming the scoring of the twenty-odd tries, let me give you my highlights.
‘Todds Top Ten’
1. Not having Coach Gowler sounding off in the walkies.
2. Seeing Stretch back on the field looking menacing
3. Liam Edwards 90 metre try
4. Lees run down the side line in the second half, what speed for a such a big man
5. Chris Johnsons crunching tackles over and over again
6. The class of Bains goal kicking.
7. The difference from the first half to the second half and how the boys responded to the half time rev up.
8. The impact that every reserve made to make it a complete team performance
9. Keeping the foot on the throat and not ease up while maintaining our high standards
10. Watching the boys enjoying each other’s company after the game.
Next week we go to battle against our old foes Taradale. Please if there was ever a game when we needed your support, this will be it. The boys a week out are already fizzing and are ready for action. Hopefully we will see you all then.

Ron Parker Memorial Cup
NOBM THIRDS 0 TARADALE 50
Congratulations on the 3rds making it to the quarterfinals of the Big Barrel Ron Parker Memorial Cup next week. There should be a big turnout of NOBM supporters as we become the first team in the club to make it to the finals for 2020. It looks like the opposition may be Bridge Pa who narrowly beat us in the opening game of the season but with the steady improvement the boys have been making, a big win should be a formality.
But, to yesterday’s game, thanks to the boys from the 2nds that helped out. It was great to have a full bench for the first time this year. We let Taradale get away a bit in the first half, due to them not playing to rules of touch rugby, so Jordie decided to try that other game of tackle and decided that was a bit hard on the shoulders so lay down for a bit. The ref was getting a bit tired too due to him reffing his 7th game of the day, so blew it up early. Just as we were about to get on top of them.
All good, quarterfinals secured. Quiet drink in opposition clubrooms and then down to the club for a big night to celebrate with our rugby fraternity and watch some Aotearoa rugby as is expected at our club in the rugby season. See everyone next week.

Pat Ryan Memorial Trophy
NOBM COLTS 24 TECH 31
Win and we assure ourselves of a semi-final lose and we put ourselves under pressure. These games are going to be decided by the bounce of the ball or kick to win and this game was one of these games.
We started poorly once again and struggled to hang on to the ball in contact and dropped the ball at crucial times. Which allowed a good Tech team to go up 7- 0 after 5 mins. Once we hung on to the ball we looked good building phases and pressure and our first try came – 7 all. Five minutes before halftime we had Tech under pressure and were camped on their line and went close a couple of times. But a couple of poor decisions meant we let them off the hook and Tech went the length of the field and scored halftime 7-14.
We started well in the 2nd half and it wasn’t long before we were back equal 14 -14. We pulled on the pressure again and went ahead 19 – 14 to a well worked moved on halfway and a try in the corner. Techs defence was very good and we struggled at times to break them as they knocked us over behind the game line as we lost the ball Tech were in again 19-21.
We were up for the challenge and scored another great try up and were up 26-21. Tech however rallied again and score 2 quick tries to take the lead out to 31 -26
Hard on their line with 5 mins to go it looked like we might be able to salvage a draw, however it wasn’t to be and we lost game 26 -31. The Boys are guttered. Heads up guys as we head into a must win next weekend against Taradale.
On a side note we as a coaching panel find it very disappointing the a match report jab last week towards other teams and player availability. Not the best way to go about it communication is the key and not through a match report. I digress

DID YOU KNOW
THAT a special reminder to our loyal supporters as the pressure is now on to achieve as the last two Maddison Trophy round games are both away matches vs Taradale at Tareha Park and Havelock North over at Anderson Park – YOUR SUPPORT is important if we are to make the playoffs. And the higher the better if we want to host a semi-final. Make Sure YOU get along to these two games and lend your vocal support as well as your presence to let Chris and his boys know that you are right there with them – Go the ‘Green Machine’.
Damon Harvey Shane Hurndell THAT it is with some foresight that former journalist, marketing and media guru, Hastings District councillor and chairman of Sport Hawkes Bay Damon Harvey saw the opening to become involved with the Hawkes Bay App. This App gives sports followers up to date info and reports on local sport and especially rugby as well as other general local news as well as a host of information on Hawkes Bay business’s, opportunities and events.
With the demise of any local sports journalists now employed by the Hawkes Bay Today it has given former sports scribes the likes of Shane Hurndell and Anendra Singh an outlet on one would assume a freelance basis to continue plying their profession. So if you haven’t got the App on your phones it would certainly be worthwhile making the effort to ‘hook up’.
THAT World Rugby has given the go-ahead for the Rugby Championship to go ahead from November 7 in New Zealand during an expanded international window between October 24 and December 12. The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted airline travel and closed borders, causing the cancellation of the big southern hemisphere teams’ annual tours of Europe and put rugby on hold around the world.
Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, who were all set to play in Europe in October and November, will now play the delayed Rugby Championship in a five-week window from November 7. But instead of the usual home-and-away matches, New Zealand has been asked by SANZAAR to host the competition.
THAT an important message to our rugby, netball and football players and supporters >>> Make Sure YOU get back to the clubrooms each Saturday for our regular aftermatch functions and 200 Club draws etc. It is a great opportunity to catch up with your fellow club members, share a convivial refreshment of your choice plus some tasty morsels from Rick & Sues kitchen and chew over the afternoons games and results. Also be entertained by Chairman Terry’s repartee and take on the afternoons games and results Members >>> Make Sure you are there….
THAT our onboard chefs Rick & Sue wish to extend their THANKS to our members and families who have been supporting the continuation of their popular Thursday Night Roasts. They also look forward to seeing you all once again on Thursday 13 August (meaning no Roast next Thursday 6th as our chefs are unavailable). Pass the word around to your team mates and members to come along for a great meal.
Remember >>> This year we will be taking your order which will need to be placed by Wednesdays >>> text or pmsg SUE 0272 955 033.
THAT it is disappointing to see three teams defaulting their games yesterday. The Premier Reserve fixture sees Clive default to NOB Marist Reserves. Also Takapau Div. 3 turning down the opportunity against their opposites Aotea Sports in Dannevirke. And in the Colts grade Eskview unavailable to front against Hastings R&S. With such an abbreviated season this year one would have thought that players would be crawling over broken glass to get in as much rugby action as possible…
THAT here is another old Irish proverb – Better to be fortunate than rich.
THAT the following is a real Flashback of a draft of the original advertisement of the first rugby match in New Zealand as advertised in the Wanganui Herald on 2 June, 1869. It was the first known indication of rugby being played in New Zealand. The game was postponed from 12 June and eventually took place the following week, The Herald reported: ‘a football match was going on between fifteen of the town and the same number of the country. The match was very well contested and after two hours of hard kicking was withdrawn, rain and darkness coming on. The match will be resumed next week.’ It was clear rugby rules were ‘attended to’, as the advertisement wanted and in the match report: ‘The foot-ball match on Saturday was not terminated when night-fall brought the game to a termination. The country side however seemed to have the best of it, having had the ball in the neighbourhood of their goal for some considerable time, but were unable to kick it over the horizontal bar. The match is thus postponed for a fortnight.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOOT-BALL MATCH
“COUNTRY v TOWN”
Town accepts the Country’s Challenge, provided the Rugby Rules are attended to. Game to commence at 2 o’clock on Saturday 12th June 1869
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* This undermines the orthodoxy that the first game of rugby in New Zealand was played in Nelson in 1870. Here was clear evidence that Wanganui was there first.
THAT an update to all ticket holders in the clubs annual major fundraiser lottery – The first three round of draws have now been made at the clubrooms. There will now be three more rounds of weekly cash draws of $100, $80, $60 – to be followed by three weekly cash draws of 3 x $100 each week.
Then on the 19 September the Final draw consisting of a Travel Voucher to the value of $2700. (This could be held over and used post Covid when the borders reopen if you wish or else use for several trips within New Zealand – winners choice.) In addition there will be a further three draws of $100 each. We wish to Thank all our loyal supporters who have continued to support this annual club lottery. Good Luck….
THAT It’s been a few years since McGoo’s Here and There appeared. With lockdown and no sport happening Eddie offered me a chance to reprise my former sports column that used to appear in the local club and rep rugby programs. I’ve rummaged up some old gems from a few years ago along with a few new bits too.
ANOTHER . . . great turnout for the club roast night on Thursday. Roast pork and crackling sure went down a treat. It was great to see a few more “Virgin Roasters” in attendance too. A grand total of 48 meals were served up by Rick and Sue. No roast next Thursday 6 August as Rick and Sue are moving house. (2020)
AS MANY . . . already know today was Mark Carter’s first run on test since the Rugby World Cup semi-final in Dublin 7 years ago. That’s a long time between drinks, but still way short of the record held by one Ned Hughes. Hughes played test rugby for the All Blacks in 1908, then played league for a few years, had the intervention of WW1, and then was selected again for the All Blacks in 1921, a gap of 13 years! Incidentally Hughes also holds the record for being the oldest All Black player because in 1921 he was 42 years old. (1998)
IN THE . . . opening six rounds of this years Tui Maddison Trophy there’s been a total of 236 tries scored including five penalty tries. And there’s been 46 penalties kicked along with 152 conversions. The top teams try scoring wise are still Taradale, HRS, The Green Machine and Havelock North. (2020)
AFTER . . .being knocked out recently in a match against Brisbane, Canterbury’s Daryl Halligan was treated by the club trainer, who asked the standard question – “What’s the score?” To which Halligan promptly replied: “There’s the fu..ing scoredboard – have a look for yourself.” (1997)
THE APPOINTMENT . . . of John Mitchell as AB’s coach might throw up some intriguing future headlines if things turned to custard. “Let’s Snitch on Mitch, Having a Bitch about Mitch, Time to Ditch Mitch, What a Glitch By Mitch.” (2001)
HERE’S . . . a thought and a bit of fun too with our 30th anniversary on the field coming up in 2021, why don’t we come up with a Napier Old Boys Marist 1st XV since amalgamation? Some back utilities to ponder:- Sam Weber, Johnny Luano, Milo Luano, Gary Exeter, Mark Jackman, Tim Manawatu. Feel free to contact me with your thoughts to:- mcgoo@hotmail.co.nz (2020)
Cheers McGoo
++++ Don’t let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning.
THEY SAID IT
“They are a well drilled machine. That Pouvi Fatialofa at openside flanker was outstanding for them. We’ve had a lot of injuries this season and the final score reflects the difference between a team with a lot of money and a side with not so much.”
Tamatea co-coach Rick Kirikiri was quick to pour kudos on WIT Trust Napier Old Boys Marist after this Tremain Park defeat.
“It makes you wonder doesn’t it? How much you can do for the franchise and then be received like that.”
Beauden Barrett who played 125 games over eight years for the Hurricanes on being booed by the Wellington fans when he turned out for the Blues.
“I give them the benefit of the doubt. It could have been booing with a smile on their faces at the same time, but I see it as booing nonetheless. I think it’s pretty poor to be fair, I’ve never been a fan of it. When we’ve had Australian teams play in New Zealand at recent times, whenever that’s happened, I just cringe. There’s no place for that in rugby in New Zealand.”
Beauden continues.
“Beauty is the best at No.10 because he’s one of the best players in the world. The more you can get your hands on the ball the more influence you can have on the game.”
A compliment from another former All Black and talented first-five Highlanders coach Tony Brown on Barrett being able to play in his favoured position.

Come along and join our club in 2020
Netball – Saturday 1 August
It was a chilly day at the courts but what a great day watching both of our teams. The improvement in both is sublime. Glenys says it makes her very proud to be part of ExHigh Marist.
Clover went down to Marewa who were experienced and didn’t have to as run as we did. The first quarter was sluggish, but the team came alive in the second, with some wonderful straight passing by Jess WA, Mekhi and Kylie. The shooters were able to position themselves, mother Tarra and daughter playing GS, GA played well together and were confident.
The defence fought and defended every ball and the spectators had plenty of input, and suggestions.
Some work needs to be done in the centre third to let the ball flow.
A great game losing by 4. 28-24.
POD – Jess outstanding WA for the Clovers.
Celtics played Havelock North. In the second quarter the defence of Sharese and Emma was amazing. Sharese timed her jumps well and time again tipped the ball causing many turnovers.
Havelock scored just one goal in this 1/4 the whole team played amazing defence, causing many held balls forcing them to pass backwards letting us snaffle the ball. It was a great fast slick game.
The team all played their part which led to a great win – 35-16.
POD – Sharese Penitito

The Leprauchan Comments
So two Irishmen are traveling to Australia. Before they leave home, one of their dads gives them both a bit of advice:
“You watch them Aussie cab drivers. They’ll rob you blind. Don’t you go paying them what they ask. You haggle.”
At the Sydney airport, the Irishmen catch a cab to their hotel. When they reach their destination, the cabbie says, “That’ll be twenty dollars, lads.”
“Oh no you don’t! My dad warned me about you. You’ll only be getting fifteen dollars from me,” says one of the men.
“And you’ll only be getting fifteen from me too,” adds the other.
(Thanks for that gem David Bell)
Paddy O’Flaherty had been at the pub all night drinking. The Bartender finally says that the bar is closed. So Paddy stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He figures he’ll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.
Once again he stands up but again falls flat on his face.
So he crawls home. Reaching the door he tries to stand up and yet again falls flat on his face.
He crawls through the door and up the stairs. When he reaches his bed he summons the last of his strength and tries one final time to stand.
It’s no use. He tumbles into bed and is soon sound asleep, only to awaken the next morning to the sound of his wife standing over him shouting.
“So you’ve been out drinking again!”
“How did you know?” he asks, his head hung low in shame.
“The Pub called – you left your damn wheelchair down there again !”
An old bloke in Darwin lived alone and he wanted to plant a vegie garden.
But it was very difficult work, as the ground in Darwin is mostly rock and red clay. His only son, Robbo, who could help him, was in Berrimah prison again for drink driving and dope smoking.
The old bloke wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his problem.
Dear Robbo, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my vegie garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were it would be easier. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
A coupla days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear dad, whatever you do, don’t dig up that bloody garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Early the next morning, the cops arrived in force and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologised to the old bloke and left.
That same day the old bloke received another letter from his son.
Dear dad, go ahead and plant the vegies now. This was the best I could do under the circumstances.
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
