Spillane Cup revenge at Elwood Park
NASH CUP – Round 3
+ Brian Gilhooly Memorial Cup match
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS 26 HASTINGS RUGBY & SPORTS 30
Cold conditions greeted the teams for the battle of the Hawkes Bay Marist clubs. The boys fresh from their Spillane victory against Hastings knew what the Hastings based side would bring to the match. A much better warm up lead to a confident start and points were soon on the board as multiple phases saw the boys march upfield and Lee Moleli crash over from close range. Johnny Lauano’s conversation made it 7-0.
This spurred Hastings into life and for remaining of the first half, it was Hastings who controlled the game and territory. Through the use of their powerful scrum they provided their backs with frontfoot ball and scored 15 unanswered points before a raid into the Hastings half resulted in a try to the clubs most capped player Migao Lauano. With the first half drawing to an end a simple turnover resulted in a loose ball and a Hastings player scooping up the loose ball and racing 40 metres to score extending their lead to 22-12 at the break.
The second half started like the first with the big Hastings bodies wrecking havoc and their scrum pushing ours back at will. This pressure lead to a further try and a 15 point deficit with 30 to go. However soon after the Hastings team began to tire noticeably and the possession and territory stats started to turn and with that winger Michael Buckley finished off a well worked team try. From the kick off the boys charged up field and after multiple phases and some nice interplay between backs and forwards Johnny Faleiva crossed and with Bain Champion’s 2nd conversion it was back to a one point ball game. Sensing another come from behind victory was in the offering momentum was thwarted when Hastings kicked a long penalty to push the lead to 4. Still with 8 minutes to play, it was anyone’s game and the boys mounted a couple strong attacks however some wrong option taking and stiff defence saw the attacks came to nothing and Hastings holding on to claim the win.
Thanks to everyone who braved yesterday’s cold conditions and we look forward to seeing you all at home against Pirates next week in what could be a special game for a senior member of the team.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER RESERVE 38 PIRATES 8
The Richard Kepka Premier Reserve team took on Pirates out there on our home patch. Having not started well in our previous two fixtures this was the focus for the lads today. Pirates had two penalty shots at goal in the opening 10 minutes so still some work-ons here, however James Mitchell opened the scoring to put us up 5-0.
Playing into the wind we did well to starve Pirates of the ball, on their third attempt they opened their account with a penalty, our boys up 5-3 after 15 minutes. Big Willie Lemalu continued his try scoring form crossing over not long after, Adam Chapman converted into the strong wind. Andries Lindeque showed his footwork and scored in the corner soon after and we were looking good at 17-3 after 25 minutes. Pirates then put their heads down and played with some territory and thus we went into the break up 17-3.
With the wind in the second half we started strongly with Leon Avenant and Zac Nevison scoring tries on behalf of the forward pack, Adam converted both and after 50 minutes we were comfortably up 31-3. Pirates hit back with some nice backline work scoring a try in the corner to halt our momentum. With 20 minutes to play the rain started coming down, a couple of injuries, some handling errors and a bit of fatigue and we only added one further try to Kitz Moleli. Pirates had us defending hard at the end there but we held strong and came away with a 38-8 winning result.
Tries – James Mitchell, Willie Lemalu, Andreis Lindeque, Leon Avenant, Zac Nevison, Kitiona Moleli. Conversions – Adam Chapman 4/6

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST JUNIOR RUGBY
Magpies Holiday Programme
NAPIER
9am – 3pm | Monday 19th April 2021 – NOBM Club Rooms, Park Island – 7-9 years
9am – 3pm | Tuesday 20th April 2021 – NOBM Club Rooms, Park Island – 10-12 years
9am-3pm | Friday 30th April 2021 – NOBM Club Rooms, Park Island – 7-12 year olds (GIRLS ONLY)
Programme Overview
The Magpies Rugby Holiday Programme is back again in the school holidays! The programme will help develop the young player even more and designed to give kids of all ages the opportunity to develop their skills as rugby players and be coached by current and up and coming Magpies players.
The programme is designed to cater for the different ages of the kids by splitting them into 7-9 year olds and 10-12 year olds. This allows our players to design the activities to the kid’s abilities and maximize their learning and enjoyment.
Throughout the day the kids will rotate though stations in small groups. Each station develops the core fundamental skills involved in rugby. The stations involve tactical awareness, team work, run, catch, pass, tackle, carrying the ball into contact, kicking, breakdown, and conditioning games. To finish the day the players will be able to put their new skills to the test in a mini rugby game.
Session Information
Run Catch Pass: Learning the fundamentals of running, catching and passing is essential to all positions to current game. The players will start coached in the passing techniques and the player’s decision making around when to pass and what pass to use.
Tackle: Making an effective tackle is the cornerstone of every defensive system. The players will train several different tackling techniques and when to use each one. With tackling the best technique is the safest technique.
Ball into contact: Being a strong carrier of the ball is much more than running it ‘straight up the guts” it’s about using your feet, the fend, offloading the ball, fighting though the tackle and planting the ball securely. The coaches will break this skill down for the players and then get some quality practice in.
Breakdown: Just like the tackle, the best technique is the safety technique. The players will be coached in how to effective clean out at the breakdown and the decision making process that are involved.
Kicking: The programme teaches the Grubber, Chip & Punt kicks and some other fun variations. For those players seen to be proficient, advanced coaching is available.
Strength & Conditioning: To play rugby you need to be good in several different areas of strength and conditioning. These are essential pillars to every player: speed, power, agility, strength, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity are all trained on the rugby field and the players are run though new techniques used by the magpies.

Player registration, including a rugby ball – $60 (only 30 remaining)

DID YOU KNOW
THAT the St John’s College 1st XV southern tour kicked off yesterday on their way to the South Island with a convincing 41-18 win against their counterparts at Porirua’s Bishop Viard College. On Tuesday they will be playing Rangiora High School and then St Kevins College in Oamaru on Thursday. We wish head coach Matt Wyatt and his team safe travels and all the best for their remaining matches which will be a good buildup toward their coming domestic season on return to Hawkes Bay.
THAT remember the days when we had Sunday papers that published a comprehensive summary of the Premier grade club rugby results from around the country. And in many cases the metropolitan centres match reports were also published while for the other regions a summary of the fulltime scores. Well it is certainly a far cry from that nowdays as we get zilch. Also back then TeamTalk used to publish the results of almost all of our affiliate clubs from throughout the country in each weeks Sunday edition of our humble publication. It is as if club rugby isn’t the lifeblood of the our national game as far as these media moguls are concerned.
THAT the twelve Heartland unions have spoken out loud and clear as to their wish for NZ Rugby to take up the United States technology investment company Silver Lake of a 15% share of the All Blacks commercial rights. The $465 million, almost half a billion dollars deal the Silver Lake have offered would certainly put the games coffers in a much better position going forward, as currently many unions are almost operating hand to mouth when it comes to running the community game. And one only has to take a look at the at times pathetic crowd attendance (which represents gate takings) even at many of the Super Rugby games in NZ. Many of us would still remember the near packed stadiums in the earlier days of the competition, which they certainly aren’t today. And while the 18,000+ spectators that packed into the stadium at Hamilton for the Chiefs-Crusaders encounter last night was a great showing of local support, it was an exception and not the norm
This Silver Lake financial boost wouldn’t be thrown out far and wide and unions would certainly have to be accountable for any financial support they received. And while a large number of the games top players and All Blacks have spoken out against the deal going through they seem to forget that they have been well provided for and it is the other parts of the game that need support as well. A vote is to be held at NZ Rugby’s AGM on April 29 at which time all 26 provincial unions will have the opportunity to show their hand on the matter. Meanwhile the rugby public will hope that common sense and the longtime best interest of our national game will be foremost in all eligible voters minds.
THAT following on from the recent notification of the Referee Abuse Policy this communication was sent to Clubs last Thursday 15 April –
“You are all aware of the Referee Abuse Policy formulated between HBRU and HBRRA which has been circulated and discussed at many levels of rugby this season. You will be aware that, as part of this policy, there would be zero tolerance of any matters of referee abuse.
At last night’s HBRU Judicial Hearings a case of referee abuse was heard by the Committee over a case of verbal abuse to a match referee. This player has received a 12 week suspension from the game which will effectively curtail his 2021 playing season. Please take this on-board and inform all of your club team coaches and managers of this so that they can inform their players of consequences for actions and words wrongly directed.
For Your Info – The East Coast RRA have withdrawn their services to club rugby for a two (2) week period due to constant side-line abuse, so please don’t think that it is only player abuse that concerns us; side-line abuse must be curtailed as well.”
THAT only in Ireland – All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.
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
APOLOGIES . . . for no column last week. With my Sue’s dad Mike Bush passing away midweek obviously my energies were diverted to giving her my full ongoing support.
THE . . . Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union has linked up with a new ticketing supplier for the 2021 domestic season. This previous partner of over 10 years had some issues and isn’t operating as a ticketing provider any longer. The new company Flicket is very promising business with some enthusiastic young owners who are very open minded according to HBRU Commercial Manager Dan Somerville. Flicket currently do the ticketing for the Chiefs in Super Rugby Aotearoa so will no doubt have learnt plenty from this which could be applied to the Magpies home season.
SKY SPORT . . . Breakdown programme is currently running a nationwide competition for local rugby clubs to nominate someone from each club as being a Club Legend. I’m sure there’s a few here within Napier Old Boys Marist deserving of being nominated.
I KNOW . . . I missed last week’s clash with the Texans so my casual observation comes from the opening Nash Cup game against the River Rats. It was Green Machine fullback Liam Edward’s almost charging down young Jayden Falcon’s conversion attempt. With “Pies” build it was literally “The Charge of the Light Brigade.”
STRANGE BUT TRUE . . . as many readers know I’m an avid sports tipping fanatic. This year on Super Bru I’ve branched out to include AFL along with my regular NRL and Super Rugby Aotearoa and Super Rugby AU tipping. And surprise surprise, I’m doing better with the AFL than the other two codes so far. Go the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers!
AS OF YET . . . no footy action from my eldest grandson across the ditch in Perth. They kick-off sometime next month, rest assured Bentley’s in full training twice a week for his new Palmyra club.
AND NOW . . . a something from the poet in me. “Treasure the memories and value the past…Because in the future it’s what we have that will last.”
Cheers McGoo
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 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 fourth round of the 2021 season next Saturday 24 April. At Tremain Field at 3pm when the WiT Trust Premiers playoff against Napier Pirates in round 4 of the Nash Cup.
While out in the country at Waikare the Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves take on YMP at 1.15pm. If you fancy a bit of fresh rural air get up there and support boys it’ll be much appreciated
THAT the following is another little Covid-19 lockdown gem…… Day 27 at home and the dog is looking at me like, “See, this is why I chew the furniture.”
++++ If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.
THEY SAID IT
“We conceded a few soft turnovers. Their scrum dominance was a big part of their game and full credit to them.”
NOBM premiers coach Ellery Wilson sums up a key factor in yesterday 30-26 loss to our NZM affiliates Hastings Rugby & Sports.
‘It means heaps because I have been wanting to play rugby after school, so being able to be selected, especially a year early means quite a lot. For people to recognise all the hard work that I have done over the last couple of years is pretty special.”
St John’s 1st XV captain Bradley Campbell on being selected to attend the NZ Barbarians Hurricanes Age Grade Camp.
“It’s hugely significant. You can’t begin to understand how big it is. In that sense it’s a real groundbreaking moment in the journey for Pacific rugby.”
Sir Michael Jones on NZ Rugby’s approval of licences for Moana Pacifica and Fijian Drua to join a new Super Rugby competition in 2022.
“We would be concerned if the Silver Lakes deal didn’t go through. We see some huge benefits for the community game.”
Bridget Belsham, Heartland secretariat chairperson

The Leprauchan Comments
Murphy was selling his house, and put the matter in an agent’s hands. The agent wrote up a sales blurb for the house that made wonderful reading.
After Murphy read it, he turned to the agent and asked, “Have I got all ye say there?”
The agent said, “Certainly ye have…Why d’ye ask?”
Replied Murphy, “Cancel the sale…’tis too good to part with.”
The good Father was warning his listeners about the suddenness of death.
“Before another day is ended,” he thundered, “somebody in this parish will die.”
Seated in the front row was a little old Irishman who laughed out loud at this statement.
Very angry, the priest said to the jovial old man, “What’s so funny?”
“Well!” spoke up the oldster, “I’m not a member of this parish.”
Paddy, the electrician, got sacked from the U.S. prison service for not servicing the electric chair.
He said in his professional opinion it was a death trap!
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
