NASH CUP – Round 2
Also on the line the Duckworth Harris Cup & Liddell Magill Rosebowl
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS 35 NAPIER TECH 17
Round two of the 2021 Nash Cup saw our first home of the season and the Challenge Trophy go on the line. After a pleasing display last week the warm up lacked intent and this flowed into the game as the first 30 minutes were dominated by Napier Tech.
With this dominance, Tech crossed the chalk midway through the first spell to make it 7-0. Tech continued to put pressure on the boys however quick turnover ball allowed the green machine to finally spark into life to lock the scores up at 7-7 with a well-built try to newlywed first five Bain Champion.
A 2nd try quickly followed and with the possession and territory turning it looked like more points could follow however it was Tech who finished the half stronger and crossed out wide right on half time to close the score right up to 14-12.
A frustrated coaching group expressed their feelings at half time and asked for improvement in all areas and the boys set about making the game safe with 20 minutes to through tries to hard working number 8 Hannon Brighouse and skipper Ricky Hayes. Wanting to increase the tempo for the final 20 Tech held firm and crossed for a well-worked try with 10 to go however Sonny Lilo broke three tackles to cross under the bar on full time to stretch the lead even further to 35- 17.
Ricky Hayes lead from the front and was into everything and thoroughly deserved his player of the day award while hooker Dom Devine was into everything while Pedro Bezanilla continued his strong start to the season with strong carriers in the mid field.
Thank you to all our fans who braved the grey skies to come and support the boys –judging by the number there yesterday once again we are in for great support in 2021.
Also a big congratulations to Lee Moleli who played his blazer game in the Spillane Final – Lee you’ve been a massive part of the team over the last 3 seasons so your blazer is well deserved – We look forward to celebrating it with you post the Pirates Home game in two weeks’ time.
NOBM 35 (Michael Buckley, Bain Champion, Ricky Hayes, Hannon Brighouse, Sonny Lilo, Bain Champion 4 conversions, Liam Edwards Conv) Napier Tech 17 (Elijah Martin, Teddy Walters, Wesley Akeripa tries, Sheridan Rangihuna con). HT 14-12.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS DEVELOPMENT 31 HASTINGS RUGBY & SPORTS 15
The Richard Kepka Premier Development team went out to Elwood Road to take on Hastings Rugby & Sports in what we knew was going to be a tough game.
A couple of the guys felt our pre-match was a little flat and it proved to be as we started the game on the back foot and couldn’t get any momentum in the opening 40.
Hastings had us on our line and scored in the corner after 5 minutes, back and forth for the next 20 minutes until Hastings took an intercept to the hole for a 15-0 lead after 30 minutes. We finished the half with some possession and the big man Morunga Whaanga crossed on the stroke to give us some confidence going into the half, all be it down 7-15 in arrears.
The coaches changed things up at halftime and introduced a few fresh legs and we started the second 40 much better with the veteran Willie Lemalu crossing close by to have us now trailing 15-14. Hamiora Miringaorangi had the kicking duties today and was on point thus far. We played at the right end of the field with the wind at our backs, big Willie crossed again after 57 minutes to give us our first lead up 19-15.
The fresh legs were starting to shine and ranging rake Sami Lauano crossed again not long after, Hamiora back on track and we lead 26-15 with 20 minutes to play.
Some strong defence on our line and some premier like counter attacking from Johnny Lauano we made our way down the right end with big Willie crossing again for a well deserved hat trick. 31-15 up and the lads defended well again to keep Hasting scoreless for the last 50 minutes. Eventually coming away with a 31-15 victory, and plenty left to work on before we tackle our near neighbours Pirates next week. Credit to the guys not in the 22 that came down to support.

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 Mason and Blair if asked to do anything or assist especially on busy days of club rugby at Tremain Field.
THAT the following is a message sent out at noon on Friday from the Chairman of Auckland Marist Richard Patterson:
Hi everyone,
We wish to advise you all that the Men’s Premier and Premier Development games scheduled for the Club tomorrow have been cancelled due to our opposition East Tamaki defaulting both matches.
In a very sobering reality for our Club, our Premier Women were also forced to default their match to Papatoetoe tomorrow due to a lack of available players.
Some of you will have been reading recently on the challenges facing community rugby across New Zealand. Sadly, some of the commentary emerging from the governing bodies was misinformed as to the actual reality of the situation, with many attempting to mask the problems facing the sport. Some even have the audacity to say the situation is manageable and there are plans and strategies in place to reverse the ongoing decline.
It is important that all of our stakeholders understand the gravity of the problems facing club rugby in Auckland city. Many of these problems are structural, most are complex, others systemic. All require significant examination of the causes (most are deep-rooted), but more importantly, there needs to be a thorough investigation into meaningful solutions that will reverse the current trend.
Be assured that the Board of your Auckland Marist Club is abreast of all the issues facing our Club and we are embarking on strategies and solutions that will help us best control our own environment. The setback for our Premier Women’s Team tomorrow highlights the considerable work we still need to undertake. Our commitment to this pathway will remain unwavering.
Obviously not a great way to kick off the new season with Auckland Marist’s top two senior teams being defaulted to. As well as their always been so strong Womens team having to default their game this weekend. And that’s not forgetting the dramas that are going on with Auckland rep rugby and the fallout between the coaching staff and some of their top players and All Blacks threatening to head off to other unions even before they have played a game this year. All is not well in the Queens City as far as the oval ball scene goes…
THAT with the recent border closures and quarantine restrictions on our side of the ditch the long awaited and much anticipated announcement of a trans-Tasman travel bubble had potentially given the green light to a cross-over Super Rugby round.
The competition that only Australia wanted last year would now surely be welcomed by both nations. And if anything has been learned during this pandemic, it is that political leaders make decisions purely for political based on the evidence of the health experts reasons.
Now the stars have aligned and Prime Minister Ardern is at last accommodating both New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia can to swing into action, with a plan to deliver six weeks of trans-Tasman action.
Should it all prove a bridge too far, then an appetising autumn Super Rugby itinerary between our two nations will have to be torn up, and it will be back to the hohum of playing with ourselves once again. That’s much better than going hungry to be sure, but more of the same in our own bubbles is an option that is not the choice of administrators, broadcasters, players and fans on both sides of the Tasman.
THAT as we are all aware, last years the NZ Marist Colts tour was cancelled due to Covid-19. To this end affiliate clubs are being asked to take advantage of this opportunity again in 2021, as the selected player(s) will remember being selected as member of our national Colts team for life.
This is one of the great Marist traditions and in 2021 it will be 46th annual Colt’s tour. The tour will take place on the West Coast, Nelson, Wellington and Hutt Valley regions and it is anticipated that it will commence in early August 2021, however this will be subject to finalising suitable itinerary dates. This year, the team is to be coached by Ryan Dunnett formerly of Hutt Old Boys Marist and the former All Black Steve McDowall from Marist North Harbour.
The NZ Marist Rugby Federation extends an invitation to clubs to nominate up to three players for this tour, from which one player will be selected to attend the tour. Clubs are asked to nominate players in different positions, to allow for a more diverse selection pool and to give your nominees the highest chance of being selected.
THAT only in Ireland – On the Irish ladder of success there’s always someone on the rung above using your head to steady himself.
THAT we extend our Congratulations to our new NOBM Premiers first-five Jonty Stewart who has been selected for the Hurricanes under 20’s team and wasn’t available to pull on our NOBM colours this weekend as he was with the Canes squad in Taupo on Saturday.
THAT another of our global affiliates the Brothers Rugby Club – Sydney are in the process of organising their upcoming 75th Jubilee celebrations. We extend our best wishes for a memorable occasion to their club ‘across the ditch’ from Napier Old Boys Marist.
THAT An IMPORTANT Reminder to all players & supporters of the new Rugby Union
protocals – re positive sideline comments only under the new referee abuse policy.
Guess it’s a case of ‘If YOU think you can do better then how about signing up to be a referee…..’
THAT another of our NZ Marist affiliates namely Wellington’s Marist St Pats RFC will be holding their 50th Jubilee celebrations over the coming Queens Birthday weekend and we wish them well for a successful occasion both off and on the field. The Jubilee was meant to have been held last year 1970 but was delayed due to the Covid – 19 pandemic.
Marist St Pats has built a proud tradition in the 50 years since it was established out of the merger of Marist and St Pats Old Boys Rugby Clubs. The MSP Premier team has won the Jubilee Cup, the top prize in Wellington club rugby, more times than any other club since being founded in 1971.
THAT have YOU purchased your Non-playing Club Membership this year or your Gold Card and or your ‘200 Club’ ticktets
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
Our regular columnist is taking a week off but he assures us the he will be back in action with his observations in next weeks edition.
THAT celebrations would have been a aplenty at the Tamatea Rugby last night following the clubs Premier team recording their first Premier grade win since beating Pirates 29-26 in 2018 in the Maddison Trophy round. It may just inspire the team to greater things as the 2021 season progresses. One has to admire their spirit at never giving up despite the odds so often stacked against them. The former Magpie Nui Bartlett coached side will for sure being going all out after this result and may just trip an unprepared opponent up.
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 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 17 April. At Tremain Field at 1.15pm when the Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves playoff against Napier Pirate. With the main game being at Elwood Park so come along to support the ‘Green Machine’ our WiT Trust Premiers vs Hastings Rugby & Sports at 3pm.
THAT keep up with our local rugby roundups from Shane Hurndell on the ‘Hawkes Bay App’, because you ain’t getting much in the way of club rugby write-ups – previews or match reports in the local ‘HB Today’ which in the past gave us an excellent coverage of local rugby, football and cricket. How times have changed….. As well our club videographer/match photographer Chris Keily is a regular supplier of action pics to Shane’s articles on the ‘HBApp’.
THAT the following is another little Covid-19 lockdown gem…… It may take a village to raise a child, but I swear it’s going to take a whole vineyard to homeschool one.
++++ We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
THEY SAID IT
“It was a tight game in which we built a lot of pressure but didn’t score from on occasions. But in the second half we came through and out bench players provided more impact that theirs.”
Premier coach Ellery Wilson following his sides38-27 win over Clive in the opening Nash Cup round.
“I’m good mates with Willy Benson who captains MAC. I trained with him last summer before the club rugby season and decided to play with him. We gave it a good go and I really enjoyed it. But NOBM is my home club and a few of the boys decided to come back this season. Ellery is coaching and there is a nice new setup.”
Premiers midfield back Paul Bickle who is back in the fold after a season with MAC.
“With our regular 10 Jonty Stewart in Taupo with the Hurricanes under 20’s Bain Champion will start at 10 and Duff Penitito at 12. I will provide cover for both off the bench.”
Paul Bickle continues.

Kate says, ‘My Patrick is such a saint. He works hard, doesn’t smoke, and he hasn’t so much as looked at a woman in over two years.’
Lorna responds, ‘Well, my Francis is a saint himself. Not only hasn’t he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn’t touched a drop of liquor in all that time.’
‘My word,’ says Kate, ‘You must be so proud.’
‘I am,’ announces Lorna, ‘And when he’s paroled next month, I’m going to throw him a big party.’
An English man and an Irishman are driving head on at night, on a twisty, dark road. Both are driving too fast for the conditions and collide on a sharp bend in the road.
To the amazement of both, they are unscathed, though their cars are both destroyed.
In celebration of their luck, both agree to put aside their dislike for the other from that moment on.
At this point, the Irish man goes to the boot and fetches a 12 year old bottle of Jameson whiskey.
He hands the bottle to the Englishman, who toasts, “May the English and the Irish live together forever, in peace, and harmony.”
The Englishman then tips the bottle and lashes half of it down.
Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he goes to hand the bottle to the Irishman, who replies:
”No thanks, I’ll just wait till the Police get here!”
