Flown under the Radar
Worthy Winners – Richard Kepka Builders NOBM Premier Reserve captain Hamiora Miringaorangi accepting the Jack Swain Memorial Cup from Hawkes Bay Rugbys Director of Finance Craig Riddiford at the conclusion of yesterdays 29-26 win against Maraenui at Tremain Field.
Of note Craig was formerly the Finance Director of Napier Old Boys Marist and also a member of the clubs Premier Reserves.
In yesterday’s exciting come from behind 29-26 win against Maraenui to win the Jack Swain Memorial Cup, the Richard Kepka Premier Reserves have once again shown that our clubs Premier Reserves continue to not always get the recognition they duly deserve. The squad has flown in the shadow of Napier Old Boys Marist’s well performed wit Trust Premiers since 2016, in a period which has seen the clubs flagship pick up three Maddison Trophy Hawke’s Bay titles in 2016, 2017 and 2019, as well as being beaten finalist in 2018 and semi-finalists in 2020. And on top of this a hat trick of Nash Cup titles in 2016/17/18, which incidently must certainly be some record.
During this period our Premier Reserves have won the coveted 2nd round Jack Swain Cup with wins over Taradale 15-11 in 2018 and over a Maraenui 26-19 in 2020. They have also won the first round Pratt Cup in 2016 with a 31-6 victory over Otane, again in 2017 by 24-14 again over Otane and in 2019 by 43-24 over Maraenui.
Over this more recent period the players, coaches and management staff certainly deserve all the plaudits they are credited with and yesterdays win at Tremain Field put another layer of icing on their cake. Well done guys for keeping up the tradition in representing your Club so well and roll on 2021 which hopefully will turn out to be a more normal club rugby season. Here’s hoping….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack Swain Cup – 2020 Final
NOBM PREMIER RESERVE 29 MARAENUI 26
Wow, that final really summed up our season. Started off well, played some good rugby, didn’t quite get the rewards for our efforts, then had a quite a hard patch but came back strong to finish the season.
Maraenui, unbeaten all year, the dominant team in our grade, the boys knew this was going to be a tough battle. We started strongly and had the early possession and territory which saw Adam Chapman opened the scoring with a penalty in the 3rd minute. Consistently playing them in the Maraenui half we knew we needed points but they were hard to come by as the ‘Nui’ defended their line well and most of our opportunities to score points they put a stop to.
We managed a first half try through Pau Lapa in the 22nd minute but with the Nui nailing a penalty just before the half we went into the break with an 8-6 lead having played most of the rugby.
Now the second half……Maraenui came out stronger and scored after 5 minutes, some great OBM defence and pressure kept more tries at bay but when we got down their end Harry Rogers crossed for an important Touch down to keep us in the game. We were up 15-11 after 50 minutes. Then Maraenui came at us hard, a try saving tackle from Kitz Moleli in one corner earned him a yellow card and then a minute later Dylan Kiwara saved a certain try on the other flank but earned himself a yellow card in the process. Down to 13 men this is where a good Maraenui team added the pressure, before we knew it we were down 15-26.
Now the final chapter of the 2020 season. We dug deep and managed to stay in the game in those last 11 minutes and when those boys came back on it was time to go to work. Kitz scored a well worked try which Adam converted to put us right on their tails 22-26 behind with just 5 minutes to play.
We got back down the right end but Maraenui had the ball and tried to close the game out keeping it tight. We defended really well and the turnover came, we spread it wide and Adam scored under the sticks. A bit of confusion and the ref eventually awarded the try. Adam duly obliged with his conversion and we were told there was time for the kick off and thats it.
Harry took the kick off, we kicked it out and started celebrating….hold on, there’s still time?? A crucial lineout on our own 22 Harry again got up and pinched it. Couple of passes out the backs and captain Hamiora Miringaorangi saved possibly his worst clearing kick till last, slicing it and sending it over the touchline… and that was it. Game set and match…..and relief ! A huge effort from the boys, down to 13 men and to finish strong like that took some real heart.
Thanks must go out to the coaches, Dwayne, Bam and the many injured waterboys who stood with us. The Prems, Colts and 3rds players who helped us out. The guys who came along part way through the season to boost our numbers (we went up to YMP with 14 players at one stage) and all our supporters.
A year of ups and downs but when it came down to it we got it done. Congrats boys, well deserved…Enjoy

DID YOU KNOW
THAT the Napier Old Boys Marist Club extends our hearty congratulations and best wishes to our New Zealand Marist affiliates Hastings Rugby & Sports on their 22-16 win over Taradale at McLean Park yesterday afternoon to take out the 2020 Maddison Trophy title. It was their clubs first outright win of the premier trophy since the former Celtic and Hastings High School Old Boys clubs amalgamated in 1996, the only other win was shared with Clive in 1999. It was a real credit to head coach Bevan Lynch (who incidently was a former NOB Marist premier player) and his team. We trust your celebrations went long and hard last night guys.
THAT we will miss the sideline presence of Premier team managers Greig Lyndsay and Todd Donaldson who we hear are taking a break next season. The sterling job they have done of recent seasons with the match data collecting by Greig and the very original and highly entertaining match reports from Todd who ground out a copy for inclusion in TeamTalk each Sunday that was a ‘must’ read and will certainly be missed. As coach Craig reckoned receiving the original copy for his approval made his day each Sunday morning. It would be great if either or both gentlemen made themselves available to continue in some role in the future. Time may tell. Enjoy the well earned break guys.
THAT a bit of advance information to our players and members to let you know that the date has been set for the weekend of 13-14th March 2021 for the running of the 90th Spillane Tournament to be held in Taupo.
THAT the Hawkes Bay App has certainly proved a boon of recent times with their coverage of some Premier grade club rugby matches in this somewhat different and abbreviated club rugby season. To be able to see the action from other teams games while still watching your own has given one a new perspective on local club rugby. Also with limited number allowed to attend games due to Covid-19, to be able to played through your TV’s etc for larger number to view has proved an asset to club and others who have bothered to delve into how to manage it.
THAT with the Covid-19 lockdown at Level 2 and no sideline supporters inside the ground some ingenious Maraenui supporters erected their own ‘look see’ with scaffolding erected outside of the ground while another clambered up to perch in a tree at the far end of the Tremain Field to view the Premier Reserve grade Final yesterday. And while their team didn’t end up taking home the bacon in the hard fought game they get points on the board for their initiative.
THAT an important message to our rugby, netball and football players and supporters >>> Make Sure YOU get back to the clubrooms on Saturdays for the regular aftermatch functions for some ‘other’ grade and womens Hawkes Bay rep games 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 rugby and catch some action on our BIG screen. >>> Make Sure you call in for a Pint
THAT the Super 8 fixture between the two traditional rivals saw the Napier Boys High 1st XV take out a very convincing 50-21 win over traditional rivals Palmerston North Boys High 1st XV in the match played at McLean Park last Thursday. It was the 116th occasion the two sides had meet with the coveted Polson Banner the ultimate prize.
THAT the following was a snippet on Facebook from a women commenting on yesterdays Finals at Tremain Field – she obviously wasn’t quite up with the play re no spectators inside the ground. – “There was a rugby game over at Park Island this afternoon. We were surprised to see many people standing outside the gates and also standing on their cars outside the fencing. Is it expensive to attend these games?
THAT here is another old Irish proverb – Many people die of thirst but the Irish are born with one.
THAT former the Sanzaar CEO Andy Marinos is optimistic that New Zealand is still on track to host the Rugby Championship in the November and December period. “I feel as if we’re close if numbers and infections in New Zealand remain at the this level or start improving, then we’re very optimistic” Marinos said.
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. With the last of the weekly cash draws of $100, $80, $60 and now the last of the 3 x $100 draws.
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.
WELL . . . wow that was one hell of a season done and dusted now! Congratulations to all the finals winners, especially our Development side and our fellow leftfooters HRS. Only two games to score this weekend at McLean Park, well two became three as I did the scoring for the Jack Swain from Park Island too. So after this weekend I’ve now scored 378 games played at the home of Hawke’s Bay rugby since my debut in 2000. (2020)
ANOTHER . . . great turnout for the final club roast night on Thursday. It was great to see the Tremain whanau in attendance too. Roast pork and crackling sure went down a treat along with a chocolate pudding as well. A grand total of 65 meals were were served up by Rick and Sue. On behalf of the regular Thursday roasters I’d like to thank Rick and Sue for their outstanding service. (2020)
IT COULD . . . only happen up the coast. During the local East Coast versus Poverty Bay NPC derby an over zealous spectator kept on running up and down the touchline, interferring with the ball and preventing quick throw-ins. Despite several pleas from match officials the over grown ball boy persisted, so a call went out to the local copper who upon witnessing the offence duly slapped the handcuffs on making him watch the rest of the game flat on his belly. (1997)
THAT . . . after the full nine rounds and semi-finals of this years Tui Maddison Trophy there’s been a total of 411 tries scored including five penalty tries. And there’s been 64 penalties kicked along with 269 conversions and just the one dropped goal too. The top teams try scoring wise being The Green Machine (67), HRS (63), MAC and Taradale both 48. The top individual points scorer is our own Bain Champion with 102 comprising of 2 tries, 40 conversions and four penalty goals. The Green Machine’s Micheal “The Eel” Buckley finished third on the try scoring list with eight touch downs in 2020.
MEANWHILE ACROSS . . . the ditch, my eldest grandson Bentley Neilson after five touchdowns this weekend, is now up to 42 tries from ten games for his Nedlands junior side in Perth so far this season. (2020)
FROM . . . my reckoning there’s six of this year’s Napier Old Boys Marist Premier side that have played all 10 games this season. They are Chris Johnson, Lee Moeli, Bain Champion, Ellery Wilson, Michael Buckley and Pedro Benzanilla. (2020)
WHAT . . . do the Chiefs and the Tamatea Premier rugby sides have in common? They’re the only sides in their respective competitions to finish the season with 100% record. The both lost every game! (2020)
JUST . . . 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

Come along and join our club in 2021
Yes we played in Onekawa and a good day for us.
Clovers played Marewa, we started with 6 players which was a shame, Tarra did a power of work in attack and the switched to defence, I thought she lead the game well along with Mekhi and our WA these 3 players really played great attack and defence through the game, some great moves.
Marewa has many experienced players who didn’t have to move very much but knew where each other were, this was very frustrating for us defending and attacking.
Bex also played well in both defence and attack, once we had our 7 it did interrupted Marewa attack end which was great
Alazae got better and better as the game went on, she was fabulous in the centre going for every ball she could, it is so great to watch her improvement each week and also her confidence.
Thank you to the Umpires Julie and Krissann they both did a wonderful job.
Score Marewa 37-22 POD. Alazae
Celtics played Tamatea, this was a great game hard fought very aerial and tightly contested, the team played with purpose polish and confidence closing often the centre 1/3rd making Tamatea passing backwards we never gave up.
Some great intercepts and great defending and timing Sherese and Sarah worked very well together in the defence circle. The most outstanding facet of the game very few out of court throwins which indicates that play was deliberate and players were ready to receive the ball.
The shoots were patient some lovely feeding by the Bridget and Anahera.
We did let Tamatea back into the game in the last 1/4 with a to many penalties that didn’t go our way.
Best game of the season thankyou
Score. ExHigh Marist 26 -25 POD Sarah and Bridget

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy stopped cutting the hedge as the big car drew up beside him and an English visitor enquired,
“Could you tell me the way to Balbriggan, Please?”
Paddy wiped his brow.
“Certainly, sor. If you take the first road to the left? no still that wouldn’t do? drive on for about four miles then turn left at the crossroads? no that wouldn’t do either.”
Paddy scratched his head thoughtfully.
“You know, sor, if I was going to Balbriggan I wouldn’t start from here at all.”
“Tell me, Patrick, how did you manage to get so very drunk last night?” asked the parish priest.
“Well you see, Father, it was like this. I got into very bad company after winning a bottle of whiskey at a raffle.”
“But you were with Mick Mulligan, Sean O’Toole, and Peter Ryan and they don’t drink.”
“Dat’s what I mean, Father…”
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells him, “You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time.”
The Irishman replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I’m here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I drinks one for each o’ me brothers and one for me self.”
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.”
The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. “Oh, no, everybody’s just fine,” He explains, “It’s just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. ‘Hasn’t affected me brothers a bit though.”
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
