2021 Seasons  Opener
With loosie Ricky Hayes in close support
veteran utility back Migao Lauano gets his
pass off to winger Ryan Lindeque in the third
quarter of yesterdays winning encounter.

 

The first pre-season encounter vs Palmerston North OBM at Tremain Field yesterday was certainly a game that left few of ‘work ons’ to be done prior to next weekends Spillane Tournament in Taupo.  In the match played in four quarters and approaching 30degs Napier came away with a close 20-14 win – four unconverted tries to a brace of seven pointers.
Scoring – 9 min Paul Bickle try – 5-0  :  12m PNOBM –  try/conv – 5-7  :  18m Bickle try – 10-7  :  31m Michael Buckley try  –  15-7  :  61m PNOBM – try/con – 15-14  :  Ryan Lindeque try – 20-14

And no it’s not a Police Raid at the clubrooms

Our Palmie Old Boys Marist opponents turned up at the aftermatch at the clubrooms yesterday
in mufti as a team building exercise and what should be an hilarious trip home with
needless to say quite a few hostelry stops on the bus trip home.

DID YOU KNOW 

THAT a reminder to all NOBM players – Checkout our pre-season training details – where & when on the Clubs Facebook.  Pass the word around amongst your team mates and also any likely New Players your know of – be they family, friends or workmates.  We have vacancies in all grades from Colts through to Premiers.

“Team up with ‘The GREEN MACHINE’ in 2021  –  New Players WELCOME

THAT its refreshing to see a face of womens rugby be elected to the Board of Hawkes Bay Rugby with the selection of 43 test Black Ferns halfback Emma Jensen being appointed at this past weeks AGM.  The 43 year old  Hastings Girls High deputy principal who was also a key member of the Hawkes Bay Tuis last season,  “I’m very excited to be part of the HB Rugby Board going forward as I feel I can offer a different perspective and give back to the game that has given me so much.”

THAT the following is further background on the Park Island facility:
Park Island is Napier’s largest sports reserve and is the home of the Napier Rovers Football Club, Hawke’s Bay United, Napier Old Boys’ Marists Rugby Club (with its affiliated clubs of Old Boys’ Marist Cricket, Marist Netball, Marist Soccer and Marist Softball) and the Hawke’s Bay Hockey Association.

  • Rugby Fields (4)  – with two fields floodlit for NOB Marist training)
  • Soccer Fields – additional fields can be set up as required
  • Senior Cricket Wickets (4)
  • Junior Cricket Wickets (11)
  • Napier City Rovers Main Field
  • Napier City Rovers Practice Fields (2)
  • Archery Range (1)

The sportsgrounds have been developed with a high level of intrastructural services, especially efficient stormwater drainage and water reticulation. The grass surfaces provide a consistently high level of playability and availability.

The grounds are divided into areas identified with specific sports or groups of sports. Screened grounds on the park leased to sports organisations for their sole use are Tremain Field (rugby), Napier City Rovers (football) and the Hawke’s Bay Hockey Association (hockey), which has two artificial playing fields with a third approved and currently in planning.

Park Island also contains Shrimpton Field, which is used for football in winter and cricket in summer, and Bond Field, which has both rugby and football pitches in the winter. These facilities regularly host major football tournaments at inter-school, age groups and inter-federation level.

There is also an archery ground between the two cemeteries and a floodlit training ground south of the Napier City Rovers ground. The park area is used for cross country running, principally at school level.

Large changing room blocks with full shower and toilet facilities are provided on Shrimpton Field and at the screened grounds.

The active sports areas are flanked by a fitness trail and a walkway network that takes in the former “islands”.

Clyde Jeffery Drive provides good access to the park, and extensive car parks serve Tremain and Shrimpton Fields and the Napier City Rovers and Hawke’s Bay Hockey facilities.

The Council’s long-term aim is to develop the Park Island reserve as a top-class facility for a wide range of sports. Paddocks between the Taipo Stream and Oak Road, an area south of Bond Field and an area north of the existing grounds and cemetery hills are in planning for further development.

 

THAT we wish Ellery and his 2021 Premier squad all the very best for their defence of the coveted Spillane Cup that the team won at the 89th annual tournament in Napier last year.  The usual intense inter-club rivalry between the Marist affiliate sides is always a hallmark of the event.

For the record in the 2020 top division it was a hard fought opening game on the Saturday which saw Napier beat Marist St Pats 31-24 and then in the Sundays Spillane Cup Final Napier made it a double header over the visiting Wellington sides with their close 38-31 win against Hutt Old Boys Marist.

   THAT  I reckon if the assistant referees last Saturday evening in the Hurricanes – Blues match weren’t directed to get their eyes tested following Super Rugby encounter at Wellington’s Sky Stadium then there is something wrong with the referees controlling body.

When Jordie Barrett slotted a conversion of Canes frontrower Asafa Aumua 63rd minute try and the sideline match officials failed to raise their flags for what clearly should have been a successful kick there is something definitely wrong.  The replay on the big screen moments later of the successful kick certainly had the large crowd of in excess of 13,000 spectators baying for justice but it was too late and their decision stood albeit wrong.

 

THAT a REMINDER to our 2020 club trophy recipients who still have their cups.
Colts
– Paul Lapa,  Thirds – Hayden Karekare,   Jordan James.   Premier Reserves –  Kurt Chambers,  Hamiora Miringaroangi,   Adam Chapman.   Major Trophy awardees – Will Tremain,   Dwayne Smith,   Craig Gowler.

 

While we currently have at least half of the club trophies back up on display on the clubrooms, we are now requesting that we would like the recipients who still have their trophies to please drop them back to the clubrooms bar when it is open late on Saturday afternoons.  Alternatively they could be dropped off at my residence at 69 Faraday Street (off Carlyle St) at anytime.  (Eddie Wilson  –  0274 470 330)

THAT only in Ireland  –  If you are enough lucky to be Irish, you are lucky enough!

    THE AZURRI  . . . have now gone  a long six years without a win in the Six Nations. As of last week that’s 29 straight losses for the hapless Italians.

INTERESTING . . . this week to see name Marinkovich surface again in sporting sense. The new coach of the Aussie Diamond Netballers here for the Constellation Cup against the Silver Ferns is one Stacey Marinkovich. I’d not seen or heard that surname for years.  The last I can recall was our very own Zukov Marickovich, a loosie for Marist and Magpies back in the late 1970s.

ENGLAND CRICKET . . . captain Joe Root now holds the outright test record for best bowling by a spinner. His 5-8 came in the recent bizarre two day third test against India. The out and out best bowling by any bowler in tests is 5-2 by Ernie Toshack for Aussie against India in 1947.

THIS WEEKEND . . . I had planned to be taking in a couple of days at the National Track and Field champs at Mitre 10 Park.  Fridays spectating and Saturday assisting as a volunteer. However with the changes in alert levels across the land they ain’t happening this weekend now. The good news for me and other avid track and field supporters is that they’ve been resheduled to 26-27th March, two days instead of three.

FOLLOWING THE . . . second game of the Constellation Cup in Christchurch on Wednesday night the Silver Ferns and the Diamonds had played each other 154 times. The Diamonds winning 97 and the Silver Ferns 55, there’s be two draws.

YOU KNOW . . . somebody’s well and truly got your number.  England all rounder, Christchurch born Ben Stokes has been dismissed 11 times in 11 tests by Ravi Ashwin, 9 of those on the Indian sub continent.

THAT’S WEIRD . . . I’ve go no birthdays to report this week.

AND NOW . . . a something from the useless information file. With passing of the last of the original of Bob Marley’s Wailers band Bunny Wailer this week I couldn’t help but throw up this bit trivia.  Bob Marley was a definitely a randy Rasta, so much so that he sired eleven children to seven different women!

Cheers McGoo

 

 

THAT an important reminder to our New Zealand Marist affiliate clubs  –  If any of your players are on the move at any time,  maybe a work transfer or a change to live in a new location we would appreciate if you notified us or the affiliate Marist club in the region they are going to so that the local club can get in touch with the player and invite them to ‘team up’ with them.  They maybe even in the position to assist with employment and or accommodation.  Make Sure you let your players know that they will be welcome to join an affiliate club in the area they are heading to.

 

THAT the following is a little gem that has come out of Covid–19……  SILLY YOU !   You thought dogs were hard to train.  Just look at all the humans who can’t sit and stay !!!

 

++++  You’re never a loser until you quit trying.

 

THEY SAID IT

“We’ve now got this surplus, this money that if things get tight we can rely on that.” 
HB Rugby CEO Jay Campbell on the unions $700+K surplus after earlier predicting a $1.5million loss during the heart of the Covid 19 lockdown last year.

“Emma brings a variety of skills that complement our existing board including a high-performance background and a connection to our future players, but especially around her passion for community rugby and the further progression of the female game.”
Hawke’s Bay Rugby chairman Brendan Mahony said this was an exciting time for Hawke’s Bay Rugby.

The Leprauchan Comments

Two Irishmen were sitting in a four-engined plane flying back from a shopping trip to Paris when the captain’s voice came over the loudspeaker.“Ladies and Gentlemen, one of the engines appear to have failed.

There’s nothing to worry about but we will be 15 minutes late in landing at Shannon airport.”

Five minutes later he said, “Nothing to worry about, ladies and Gentlemen, but one of the other engines has failed, and we will now be an hour late.”

A moment later, “Er…sorry about this ladies and gentlemen, but the third engine has also given up and we will now be two hours later than expected.

One of the Irishmen tapped his friend on the shoulder.“Good heavens, Patrick, do you realise that if the other engine fails, we’ll be here all night”

 

A sobbing Ms Murphy approaches Fr O’Grady after mass.

He says: “So what’s bothering you?”

She replies: “Oh, Father, I’ve terrible news. My husband passed away last night.”

The priest says: “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Did he have any last requests?”

“Certainly father,” she replied. “He said: “Please Mary, put down that damn gun.”



An Irishman goes to the doctor, who after examining him says

“You have some problems with your heart, but if you take these tablets, I think it will be okay.

“So the doctor gives the man the tablets and the patient asks,

“Do I have to take them every day?”

No,” replies the doctor, “take one on the Monday, skip the Tuesday, take one on the Wednesday, skip the Thursday and go on like that.

“Two weeks later the doctor is walking down the street, and he sees the patient’s wife.“Hello Mrs Murphy,” he says, “how’s your husband?”

“Oh he died of a heart attack,” says Mrs Murphy.

“I’m very sorry to hear that,” says the doctor, “I thought if he took those tablets he would be all right.”

“Oh the tablets were fine,” says Mrs Murphy,

“It was all the bloody skipping that killed him!”

 


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
