Maddison Trophy Round 9

NOBM PREMIER  61 HAVELOCK NORTH  27

The last round of the season and we have the Village People. There season is over and we had been confirmed a semi-final berth already. So, what was Coach Gowlers words of wisdom for the boys.  “Men we have had our backs against the walls all season with some fantastic games and some heart stopping and epic wins. I want you to go out there and have some fun”.

Ok so that’s what they did. They threw it around and had some real fun. HOLD the phone…. Oranges time and Coach Goweler said ok there is fun and then there is just over doing it a tad. Let’s maintain the fun but let’s try a bit more discipline and structure and forget the 50/50 passes.

The boys didn’t let him down with some exceptional tries in the second half while maintaining some good shape. Eboney (Johnny) and Ivory (Zac) were teamed up again which was great to see smiles on their faces after the battlegrounds of previous weeks. Mark Collier burgled three tries and was solid in defence while the smallest lock in HB rugby (Po) left everything on the field.  The most pleasing thing about the game was Zero injuries BOOM BABY.

Next week it’s the battle of Napier with our old foes Taradale. We will not be able to see any of you there this year but hopefully you can watch us from the clubrooms. This is going to be 100% Brutal and the boys are fizzing to get into it.   We have all had a fun year and from the coaches and management we all say thanks.  Now let’s bring these buggers down.

Jack Swain Cup

  NOBM PREMIER RESERVE  26 HAVELOCK NORTH  26

Big game versus Havelock, a win would guarantee us and a semi-final.   A poor start saw Havelock score in the first minute. Our boys found their groove and the game plan with tries notched up in the 9th, 12th and 20th minutes, however Havelock finished the half strong and we went into the break down 21-19.

The second half was a tight affair, which saw us outscoring them 7-5 which resulted in a 26 all draw at the final whistle.  A bit of a raw result but at least this saw us into the semi-finals next week so that will do and be something to strive for.  We did leave a few points out there on the Tremain Field pitch and we know we can play better so we look forward to taking Pirates next weekend.  Scoring – Tries Willie E, George, Hamiora, Dylan and Adam 3 cons.

Pat Ryan Memorial Trophy

NOBM COLTS 24 ONGA TIKO  10

Well after the last few weeks of close loses, we wanted to get this show back on the road however in our way is always a very spirited Onga Tiko side that never lies down especially on their home ground and the last game of the season. With 5 of our front line players out with injuries this was going to be a test for a few new guys coming into the starting lineup.

Fantastic conditions with sun out and a slight south west wind and on a pitch that was always going to favour the spinners.  We attacked to slope in the first half.

Took the kick off spun it wide and Aiden Udy scored must to his surprise  –  5-0.   The next 20 mins turned into a real arm wrestle as we let Tiko back in the game  –  5 all.   After having most of the ball in the first half our boys became very frustrated as the Tiko side were often sitting in our backline and no one prepared to do anything about it was going to be one of these days.   Late in the half we scored 2 quick tries that put us out to a 19-5 lead at half time.

The 2nd half was much the same as the first with constant offside by our opponents and becoming really hard work to get some continuity going in our game.  We finished the 2nd half with a try apiece and won the game 24-10

A big effort needed this week as we try and focus on  the upcoming  semi-final against a tough Hastings Rugby & Sports and hopefully welcome a few players back from injury

DID YOU KNOW

THAT here’s an interesting ‘puzzle’ supplied to us from HBRU statistician Adrian Hill: re. Try scorers in the recent NOB Marist v MAC Premier fixture played on 25 July:
Team Talk – Josh McIntyre (2), Andrew Robinson, Luke Donaldson, Dominic Devine, Patrick Teddy, Pouvi Fatialofa.

Supplied to HB App – Dominic Devine (2), Josh McIntyre (2), Liam Edwards, Patrick Teddy, Pouvi Fatialofa.

Supplied to HBRU/HB Today – Dominic Devine (2), Josh McIntyre (2), Liam Edwards, Patrick Teddy, Lee Moleli.

>>> Three different versions?  At least two of them must be wrong. Perhaps all three of them are wrong?

 

THAT with the spectator ban at the weekends rugby due to the Covid-19 Level 2 ruling with the exception of team/management and match officials being played at the two secure Tremain Field grounds, the ‘live’ feed of the action from the 4 premier games was a boon for those who were not there.  Apart from  a limited number who watched the rugby from our clubrooms the ‘HB APP’ on phones & iPads would have been the only way they could get to follow the action from the Maddison Trophy round 9 four Premier matches (3 on Saturday and the NOB Marist v Havelock North on Sunday).

It was well worth watching a replay of the game via this HB App last night with commentary from Damon Harvey and HB Rugbys CEO Jay Campbell.  Really enjoyed the highscoring re-run.  Make Sure you secure this App for your phone or other device and follow Maddison semi-finals next Saturday between NOB Marist v Taradale  and  Hastings R&S  v  Tech from the spectator-free McLean Park.

 

     THAT  how’s this for wishful thinking ?   A replacement for the very large tree that was removed from outside the clubrooms a couple of weeks ago.  Well unless there’s a miracle we’ll be waiting a very, very long time for this offering to grow into a giant of the forest  –  don’t hold your breath.  Actually it is whats left of one of the artificial trees that were installed in the clubrooms for decoration back in the year 2000 when the new facility was opened and someone with a sense of humour thought it was about time to relocate (plant) it !


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   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 here is another old Irish proverb  –   Many a ship is lost within sight of the harbour.  (Translation – Don’t let your guard down no matter how safe you think things may be.)


  THAT  due to current outbreaks of Covid-19 and the Level 2 that our region is currently in, the HBRU had to re-do the draws to ensure where possible games were to be played at a venue where access to the grounds could be controlled.   Outside of McLean Park, Tremain Field is the only other secure ground in the Napier/Hastings region, so subsequently 4 Premier, 4 Premier Reserve and 1 Colts games were allocated to our home venue on both Saturday and Sunday on the two available securely fenced grounds with, games commencing at 11.45pm,  1.15pm and 3pm on both days.  Also clubs had to keep their bubble to under 100 persons which included players/team management and a limited number of supporters.


   THAT an update to all ticket holders in the clubs annual major fundraiser lottery –  The first five round of draws have now been made at the clubrooms.     There will now be two 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 team fotos night too. A grand total of 35 meals were were served up by Rick and Sue.  Next Thursday Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding.  (2020)

ONCE . . . upon a time the most used word in sport was focus. Well with the1998 sporting year almost at a close the word mediocrity would have surpassed focus. So my simple message to those many Kiwi sportsmen who seem to aspire to mediocrity is:- “Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself.”  (1998)

IN THE  . . . after eight rounds of this years Tui Maddison Trophy there’s been a total of 340 tries scored including five penalty tries. And there’s been 57 penalties kicked along with 223 conversions and afer last weekend one dropped goal too. The top teams try scoring wise are still The Green Machine (56),  HRS (51), Taradale (40) and MAC (37).  The top individual points scorer is  our own Bain Champion with 76 followed by Cam Robinson, Taradale on 74 and MAC’s Lincoln McClutchie with 67.  The Green Machine’s Micheal “The Eel” Buckley is still second on the try scoring list with seven touch downs to date.  Across the ditch, my eldest grandson Bentley Neilson is now up to 33 tries from eight games for his Nedlands junior side in Perth so far this season.  (2020)

INTERESTING . . . that the only two losses suffered by the Green Machine throw up some ironic stats. Both were controlled by Tipene Cotterell, in both we only scored two tries and 12 points in both games and our lineout was mediocre to crap.  (2020)

THE . . . British Barbarians , although formed in 1890 didn’t play an international touring side until 1948. Money was need to cope with the Wallabies tour expenses and the club agreed to the game.  (1998)

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? Feel free to contact me with your thoughts to:- mcgoo@hotmail.co.nz   (2020)

Cheers McGoo

THEY SAID IT

“There were some really good habits like ‘team first’ which made us connect and have a bit of fun.”
Hurricanes Dane Coles on his team getting back on the ball after the early season lapses.

“It’s a unique situation where you win the competition before the competition is finished.  Hence why I didn’t do any back spinning at this stage, because we’ve still got a job to do.”
Crusaders mentor Scott Robertson.

“It’s not as much as $2 million, but it’s a massive hit.”
Blues CEO Andrew Hore on the cancellation of his franchises match against the Crusaders.

The Leprauchan Comments

An Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman are all stranded on an island. They’ve been there for years, when one day the Englishman finds a lamp buried in the sand. He starts to polish it and out pops a genie.
“Oh thank you master” says the genie, “I will grant you all one wish! ”
The Englishman says…”Oh how I’d love to be at Lords sipping a Gin and Tonic, watching the cricket”  Big flash, cloud of smoke and he’s gone!
The Scotsman says…”see you Jimmy,I wish I was at Hampden Park with a few mates watching the football”. Big flash , cloud of smoke and he’s gone!
The Irishman says “Bejesus its gonna be awful lonely here without them, can you bring them back”????

O’Connell was staggering home with a bottle of Jamesons Irish Whiskey in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running down his leg.
“Please, God,” he implored, “let it be blood!”

Newly arrived in Boston from the old country, Paddy O’Shea called his brother back home.
“Sean, it’s amazin, these American cities. On most every street, they got glass outhouses, and it’s TELEPHONES they put in ’em!”

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
