fifteenth minute in the seasons opening round against Clive at Farndon Park on Friday.
NASH CUP Round 1
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS 38 CLIVE 27
The entire team would like to pass on their heartfelt condolences to Paul Lapa and his uncle Nico who lost a father and brother on Friday morning. For Paul to still turn out and play an inspiring and tireless 80 minutes in his debut start for the Premiers absolutely humbled all of us and is a testament to what a fine young man Paul is. Matou te faafetai atu ia te oe ma Alofa moo e le uso. Faamalosi uso Paul.
Game one of 2021, an away game against a much hyped Clive team, was the perfect opportunity for our new-look Premier team to see if their winning pre-season form would stack up. Clive fielded a large and relatively experienced side and after a poor clearance kick 3 mins into the game, their first opportunity to score presented itself and they made full use, scoring under the posts for an easy and quick 7 pointer.
Wide awake now the green machine swung into action and we camped in the Clive half with carry after carry bending their defensive line. Referee Catley called a try back for accidental offside but that didn’t deter the boys and in the 12th minute Michael Buckley dotted down in the right hand corner after a lovely draw and pass from a rollicking James Holbrook. Not to be out done Clive hit straight back a minute later and had their second try after outnumbering the boys on the blindside and the fullback cantered in to push Clive ahead again 12 – 5 after 15 mins. This just fired our boys up further and with more strong forward carries from Holbrook, Gardiner and Lapa, Pedro Bezanilla, who was the outstanding back of the day with line break after line break, surged at the line 10m out and not to be denied was forced over by his team mates for a very well taken try. Converted by Jonty Stewart the scores were levelled up 12 apiece.
The boys had their tails up and went straight back on attack and after more sustained pressure on the Clive line Pouvi Faitalofa did everything but score in the corner when the ball was knocked from his hand as he was dotting down. The game settled into a real arm wrestle at that point with both teams giving away very little. In the 37th min James Holbrook just missed out on a thoroughly deserved try getting held up over the line after yet another blockbusting run. Not to be denied, the boys kept the foot on the throat and right on halftime Pouvi Fatialofa bust the line to score wide on the left and take the team into the half time break up 19 – 12.
The second half started just as the first half had done with Clive scoring within 2 mins of the whistle from a couple of missed tackles. Both teams then went hammer and tongs at each other in the middle of the park until we were able to work our way into their 22m and our lock Alex Williams scored right under the black dot after a crafty pick up at the base of a ruck had him galloping through untouched to score. Converted, the boys were up 26 – 17 and there were signs the bigger Clive boys were tiring but they weren’t ready to roll over just yet and a nice chip and chase down their right wing resulted in a try in the corner and they were back in the hunt 26 – 22.
Ellery and Edwin emptied the reserve bench and the impact was immediate with energy levels up and go forward happening at will. A good lineout win on their 22m, eight phases and a try to the hardworking captain Matt Gardiner from a pick and go. The boys could smell blood and swung straight back on attack and a great ruck steal on their 22m saw Liam Edwards continue a fine running game from the back and a score well taken try in the left hand corner. Up 38 – 22 with 14 mins the boys were starting to believe but Clive to their credit came back hard and were camped in our 22m for 10 mins until a penalty against them after a monster green machine scrum led by Johnny and Pulea Faleiva relieved the pressure. With the game virtually over, a loose ball popped out of a ruck close to their goal line resulting in a very fortuitous length of field try to Clive to finish the game.
A 38 – 27 final score line and a very good win in the bank. Big shifts by all 22 players in the squad but standouts were James Holbrook and Pedro who both took a lot of stopping ball in hand. Pedro put his powerful, aggressive display down to a new game day prep which we hope he’s able to replicate every week ! Tech at home next week and we hope to see a great crowd there to support us for game #2.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS DEVELOPMENT 34 TECH 10
A sunny warm day to open up the season for the Richard Kepka Premier Development side. Good to see a number of guys back wearing the NOBM colours.
Tech first up and both sides came out to play. A Tech penalty had them 3-0 up after 5 minutes. After that our guys went to work with Andy scoring our first try for the season not long after. However the rest of the first half was a little frustrating to say the least. Camped in their 22 for most of it we just couldn’t get over the line, a penalty on half time saw us up 10-3 at the break with probably 80% territory on the stat sheet.
We started the second 40 more composed with Ryan and Willie M scoring tries early but we were still rather rusty and Tech stayed in the game. Up 22-10 with 20 minutes to play we needed to finish it off. A further couple of tries to big Willie and Sam and we walked off with a 34-10 win.
Credit to Tech for coming over, a few clubs are struggling for numbers so it was pleasing to see, they played hard and made us earn it. Well done to our boys, got the result but plenty to work on during the week. HRS away next week which will be a challenge.

DID YOU KNOW
THAT we welcome on board Mason Baker and Blair Cotton who have offered their services as our clubs Ground Controllers at Tremain Field this season. We ask our members to be supportive of them if asked to do anything or assist especially on busy days of club rugby at Tremain Field.
THAT New Zealand Rugby union is looking toward hosting the 100th match against Springboks as it will also be 100 years since their first clash in Dunedin in 1921. Let’s hope it comes to pass this year.
THAT the match yesterday being played for the Foundation Cup between the NOBM Napier Collison Repair Colts and St John’s College 1st XV which was played in Hastings at St John’s College ended up at fulltime with St John’s taking out the match with a 46-12 win. The visitors under head coach former NOBM premier player Matt Wyatt have been developing their 2021 squad for their South Island tour later in the month so the team were a well drilled outfit.
While the Marist boys are in a rebuilding process with a number of their 2020 squad having moved on up to senior ranks with the clubs Premiers and Premier Reserves. They are also hoping to attract more new faces to their squad over the coming weeks before their competition kicks off early in May. So if you know of any likely new young players bring them along to the Club or pass their names and contact details on to Sam or Richie Williams it would be much appreciated.
The St John’s southern tour includes matches vs Bishop Viard College, Wellington, St Kevin’s College, Oamaru plus one other game in Oamaru which is still to be confirmed. We wish Matt and his team all the best for a successful tour which will be a great buildup for their upcoming inter-schools rugby season.
Also the St John’s Rugby Foundation will also be holding a Dinner with high profile guest speaker Sir Michael Jones next Friday 9 April. To keep up with St John’s College rugby during the winter season head to the Facebook page ‘St John’s College Rugby Foundation’.
THAT a reminder to all NOBM players – 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 only in Ireland – If it was raining soup, the Irish would go out with forks.
THAT where Oh where has the policing of high tackling and over the chest contact and restraint that the law makers were so heavy on a season or two ago? Players were getting pinged right left and centre by our referees in the interests of safer play with less chance of neck and head injuries. This has now seemed to have gone almost by the board if the following pics taken at Fridays first round Nash Cup encounter between Clive and Napier OBM, and this also applies to some of the Aotearoa Super Rugby matches we have seen this season.
THAT it is interesting times for our oval ball game here in New Zealand with the recent discussions between the NZ Rugby Union and the US Equity firm Silver Lake who wish to purchase a 15% share in the All Black brand which would include a couple of seats at the unions board table. While there appears to be apprehension at the top end player level who one guesses are really only interested as to how it would affect them, the opportunity to team up with a potential ‘bank’ that has assets of some US$75 billion (NZ$104 billion) is hardly something to be sneezed at.
This potential partner would undoubtedly be wanting increase payback their investment and would most likely open up more doors for both parties to benefit from in a mercenary sense. The reluctant players group should open their eyes and see the opportunity for more financial support filtering right down through the game at all levels. It should be ‘game on’.
THAT have YOU purchased your Non-playing Club Membership this year or your Gold Card and or your ‘200 Club’ ticket in the clubs annual major lottery ? All options are currently available. For expressions of interest please reply to – Wade Colville-Smith – 021 059 3943 or eddiewilson@xtra.co.nz / 0274 470 330
THE JUST. . . completed Guinness Six Nations was England worst season since 1976. They lost to each of the other three home nations. The Poms finished fifth just a head of winless Italy.
THE FIRST . . . round of this year’s MotoGP kicked off with the Qatar Grand Prix last weekend. While Spaniard Joan Mir secured the win, 30 year old Frenchman Johaan Zarco (Pramac Racing) scored the top speed of the day with a staggering 362.7kmph (225mph) aboard his Ducati.
A QUIRK OF FATE . . . or just irony? Two of the 1500m finals at last weekend’s NZ Track and Field champs at Mitre 10 Park had exactly 15 athletes their race. The senior mens race was so pedestrian I passed a comment at the time that they should have some walk judges out there. Time was 4m 01s, the earlier Under 20’s mens final was some 13s quicker!
LAST . . . weekend Chinese athlete Yang Jiayo smashed the World Record for the 20km road race walk by an incredible 49 seconds with a time of 83 minutes 49 seconds. At the same event Wang Kaihu clocked 76 minutes 54 seconds over the same distance. This was lifted the 27 year old to third fastest in history and only 18 seconds shy of the World Record for men.
BIRTHDAYS . . . in the club this week:- Life Member Gary Macdonald (72), former Green Machine midfielder who made a comeback last year, Mark Collier (31) both celebrating yesterday 3rd April. Today our Chairman’s good lady Jennifer Gittings is blowing out a few candles.
AS OF YET . . . no footy action from my eldest grandson across the ditch in Perth. They kick-off some time next month, rest assured Bentley’s in full training twice a week for his new Palmyra club
AND NOW . . . a something from the Irish vault. Mary says to Paddy if you were stranded on a desert island who would you like most to be with you? “Me uncle Mick” replies Paddy. “What’s so special about him?” asks Mary. “He’s got a boat,” says Paddy.
Cheers McGoo
THAT Chairman Terry last year has ended up with a someone else’s blazer. This blazer is the early older style with a bottom button missing and is a bit pilled. If anyone has a blazer that looks like it’s not theirs please contact Terry. His blazer was updated only 2 years ago. If you can help please contact: Terry Gittings – 0274 524 521
THAT changes are afoot with regards this years inter-provincial competitions with the just announced naming rights sponsor being the ‘Bunnings Warehouse National Provincial Championship’. As well as the mens competition the womens Farah Palmer Cup will also be playing under the banner of the same sponsor. The draws for these two competitions are due to be announced shortly according NZ Rugby.
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 our players and coaching staff look forward to YOU making the effort to get along to support them in their teams second round of the 2021 season next Saturday 10 April. Out at Elwood Park at 1.15pm when the Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves playoff against Hastings R&S. With the main game being at Tremain Field so come along to support the ‘Green Machine’ our WiT Trust Premiers vs Tech at 3pm.
THAT the following is another little Covid-19 lockdown gem…… I’m so excited to take the garbage out. I wonder what should I wear ?
++++ It is never too late to be what you might have been.
THEY SAID IT
“I’m obviously disappointed but also really positive that it’s an easy fix. I’m looking forward to getting into some
rehab post-surgery and doing that really well, so I am coming back in good shape for the end of the rugby season, whatever rugby that maybe.”
Chiefs co-captain Sam Cane is to miss the remainder of the Super Rugby Aotearoa season and undergo surgery after suffering a pectoral injury in the Chiefs versus Blues.
“We are all disappointed for Sam, but we have full faith in the medical team around him and we wish him well for his surgery and rehabilitation. As All Blacks Captain, he will still play a key role in our planning for the 2021 season, and we look forward to him returning to the footy field once his rehab is complete.”
All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster.

The Leprauchan Comments
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.”
Six Irish men were playing poker when one of them played a bad hand and died.The rest drew straws to see who would tell his wife. One man draws the shortest straw and goes to his friend’s house to tell the wife.
The man says to her, “Your husband lost some money in the poker game and is afraid to come home.”
The wife says, “Tell him to drop dead!”
The man responds, “I’ll go tell him.”
