Important Notice to All Members
Greetings All –

Please contact Myself or Wade urgently if you are prepared help your club in 2021.
Terry Gittings
NOBMRFC Chairman
This is just a reminder to our Premier clubs, regarding the requirement for these clubs to nominate an Associate referee
The Hawke’s Bay Rugby board have agreed that every affiliated club with at least one (1) senior team in 2020 will receive a cash payment of $2,000 in 2021. To receive this payment required is : clubs involved in the premier competition, the appointing of an appropriate associate referee will be required to receive the funding. Note: This associate referee is not to be an existing member of HBRRA.
Please remember that this is being done so that clubs will actually have a trained referee (Associate Referee) on those occasions when HBRRA are stretched beyond their resources and have no referee for a game. This is most likely to occur at Division 3 level. So even non Premier Division 3 clubs should consider their position on this.
The requirements for the Club Associate Referee role is,
- It must be a person or more that is physically capable to run as the Assistant Referee #2 on a premier game and also be capable to referee a game to the level of Div 3.
- AR role is only on home games. If the HBRRA have enough referees to be able to appoint 2 AR’s for the game then this person would not be required.
- Refereeing a club game – If for any reason the HBRRA cannot supply a referee to a Div 3 game at your club then this person would be the first port of call for your club to referee the game as per HBRU handbook rule 16.E.
- The training session which will cover ARing, the use of communication gear and also the Associate referees course for refereeing.

NASH CUP – Round 4
+ Macdonald – Leadbetter Cup match + Hawkes Bay Challenge Shield
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS 68 PIRATES 7
Yesterday’s game against Pirates was all about Johnny Lauano and his 200th game for the mighty green machine. Starting out as a 16 year old Johnny has been a massive part of the NOBM Premier set up on and off the field for the last 16 years and to bring up 200 games is a testament to his determination, ability and loyalty. The game also doubled as a chance to honour Lee Moleli who earnt his 50 cap and blazer in the 2021 version of the Spillane Cup.
The boys talked all week about putting on a big performance for Johnny and the opening 30 minutes did not disappoint, as the lineouts and scrum functioned well, passes were crisp, forwards and backs combined nicely to run in 6 unanswered tries in the first half. Sharp shooter Bain Champion was on point and converted all six and we went into the break 42-0 up.
Wanting to put the foot to floor it was Pirates who started the second forty better and controlled the ball for an extended period and were rewarded with their only try of the match. For the last 30 minutes game didn’t reach any great heights as poor handling, lack of referring at ruck time and tired bodies all contributed to lacklustre end to the game. During that time the boys did manage to record 4 further tries to close a commanding victory 68- 7.
Man of match went to none other than Johnny Lauano who controlled the game well and set his backline alight. He was assisted by halfback and stand in skipper Zach Donaldson while Dom Devine was in the thick of all the action and the best forward on the paddock.
Next week we are away to MAC in the final round robin game of the Nash Cup – to qualify for the final we need to collect 5 points and hope Clive upset Hastings.
NOBM 68 – 10 Tries: Zachary Donaldson (2), Hannon Brighouse, Dominic Devine, Alexander Williams, Matthew Gardner (2), Lee Moleli, Josh McIntyre, Johnny Falevia 9 conversions: Bain Champion (8), Johnny Lauano Pirate 7 – 1 Try: Felise Tavae 1 Conversion: Zion Clarke.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER RESERVE 95 YMP 6
The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves took the lovely trip up to Waikare to take on YMP. Coming up here last year with 16 or so players and coming away with a 6 point win we expected much the same this time round. Although this trip proved to be different. 30 minutes before kickoff and not a YMP player to be seen, come kick off time 11 YMP players were seen. Referee Carl Jowsey kept the comms going between both parties and 20 minutes after the scheduled kick off time we got a game underway with a 12 man YMP team. 30 minutes into the first half the boys were up 49-0 and captain Hamiora called a halt to the first half. It’s fair to say our lads looked good.
Coach Rossco cleared the bench and the second half was underway, a little over 20 minutes went by before YMP had a scrum 5m out from our line, they crossed for a try in the corner to bring a smile all the supporters. Having YMP cross our line eventually was a good time to blow the final whistle. With about 55 minutes of rugby action the green machine came away with a 96-5 victory. A quick dress, a beer or two and a meal upstairs at Waikere and the boys were back on the bus headed for the clubrooms to enjoy the night ahead.
A very different trip this year but credit to the YMP lads that suited up, we know a couple of non-rugby bodies put a jersey on to give us a game and warrant our trip up. Bridge Pa next week at home will see us return to our structures.
Tries to Josh Read, Sami Lauano, Ryan Lindeque (2), Kurt Chambers (2), William Mead, Adam Chapman, James Mitchell, Fatu Peletiso (2), Pio Mauga, Kitiona Moleli, Pouvi Fatialofa.

DID YOU KNOW
THAT to find a better case of Club Loyalty you couldn’t go past the Lauano family and that really came to the fore yesterday when Ioane ‘Johnny’ Lauano played his 200th Premier game for the club and to emphasis that even more his older brother Migao ‘Milo’ as he is affectionately known was playing his 291 in our Premier team strip. And not to miss him out, youngest brother Sami was turning out for the clubs Premier Reserves yesterday against YMP has played 57 games in our Premiers side spread out over a number of seasons.
Napier Old Boys Marist Premier rugby teams first five-eighth Ioane Lauano admits his 200th match for the side was an emotional one today. “It’s a shame Dad wasn’t there he was my No.1 supporter,” Ioane said referring to his father Vaa. “Dad died in July last year after a battle with cancer. He hung in there for my wedding then died a week later,” Ioane recalled. A Specialised Container Services technician at Napier Port, Ioane 32, made his debut for the NOBM club in 2005 when he was 16. While he hoped to have another season or two at this level with wife Tilo’s permission. Ioane admitted he might be struggling to match his 40 year old brother Migao’s feats. Migao who came off the bench yesterday for the Green Machine against Napier Pirate Rugby & Sports in a fourth round Nash Cup fixture at Tremain Field is closing in on 300 premier appearances for his Club.
The former Tamatea High School student Ioane is part of a family of four boys and two girls who arrived in the Bay from Samoa in 2000. During his time with NOBM Premiers he has tasted Maddison Trophy glory on three occasions and Nash Cup success three times as well as being a New Zealand Marist XV representative.
THAT the St John’s College 1st XV southern tour kicked off over a week ago on their way to the South Island with a convincing 41-18 win against their counterparts at Porirua’s Bishop Viard College. Last Tuesday they played Rangiora High School in a high scoring affair with 47-30 winning result. Their final match was on Thursday in Oamaru where they played St Kevins College 1st XV a game which resulted in a third successive win for St John’s 1st XV. This southern rugby safari experience should certainly assist in giving the Matt Wyatt coached St John’s squad a worthwhile preparation for their 2021 season.
THAT we extend our belated very Birthday Best Wishes to our Club’s oldest Life Member, Morrie McGill, a former club secretary and diehard supporter who turned a mere 95 years old on Friday.
THAT with the shortage of rugby referees here in Hawkes Bay surely it would be worth considering resurrecting a scheme that was introduced back in the early 2000’s which was an innovation set up by the eastern regions rugby referees education officer Greg Davey. This was to introduce a training scheme for High School students who were interested in learning how to control a game and by taking up this opportunity the participants were able to gain credits toward their NCEA levels. This idea is certainly worthy of revisiting to help overcome the current problem and may even open up a young sportsmans career toward higher honours and even the professional game.
THAT only in Ireland – There is no luck except where there is discipline.
THAT our Members Subs, ‘200 Club’ ticket sales and Gold Card memberships are beginning to roll in – Have YOU purchased your Non-playing Club Membership this year or your Gold Card 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 >>> Payments can be made by direct credit to the clubs SBS Napier – Account – 03 1355 0760476 00
THAT it is going to be a very interesting week coming up with decisions on the possibility of the Silver Lakes offer on the table for New Zealand Rugby to take into consideration at the games Annual General Meeting this coming Thursday. Rugby followers will certainly be awaiting the outcome with interest as to the direction the future of game will be taking.
AS MANY . . . well know my family affiliation with Perth and Western Australia. That just got a whole lot more interesting with the Western Force set to host the Hurricanes at McLean Park on 28th May. I’m pretty sure I’ll be supporting the Perth based side for this one.
AFTER THE . . . first three rounds of the Nash Cup there has been 104 tries scored, 63 conversions and just 14 penalties kicked. The top four clubs try-wise are Clive 16, Green Machine 15, Hastings R&S 14 and Tamatea 13. At the other end of the scale Central, MAC and Havelock North have 8 and Napier Pirates 9. The leading individual points scorer is HRS halfback Connor McLeod with 32.
THIS WEEKEND . . . we’ve celebrated Johnny Lauano chalking up 200 Premier appearances for the Green Machine. Next weekend local referee Sheldon Eden-Whaitiri will whistle his 200th Premier club fixture. In reaching this milestone Sheldon has appeared for four different referee associations, making his Premier debut as a 21 year-old in Auckland in 2006. Ironically his 200th game in control will involve HRS vs Clive, he played his early age group rugby for HRS.
BIRTHDAYS . . . of note this week belong to former Green Machine and Magpies outside back Scott Taylor on the 19th April. And the day before 2019-20 Green Machine front rower Patrick Teddy turned 21.
JUST A REMINDER . . . Don’t forget that next Saturday is World-Wide Naked Gardening Day.
SINCE 2019 . . . the Perth based AFL side the West Coast Eagles have been based at Optus Stadium. Prior to that and from their inception in 1986 they were based at Subiaco Stadium across town. To date the West Coast Eagles have now won 31 of 38 games played at Optus Stadium. Last weekend’s match against the Collingwood Magpies saw the first full open stadium fixture in Aussie since the Covid-19 global pandemic. The 54,159 crowd was the largest at an AFL fixture since the 2019 Grand Final.
AND NOW . . . something for a laugh. I just took a leaflet out of my mailbox, informing me that I can have sex at 73. I’m so happy, because I live at number 71. So it’s not too far to walk home afterwards. And it’s the same side of the street. I don’t even have to cross the road!
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 always 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 if you can find a mistake in this edition then it has been put there purpose as some people are never happy unless they can find one.
THAT our players and coaching staff look forward to YOU making the effort to get along to support them in their teams fifth round of the 2021 season next Saturday 1May. At Flaxmere Park at 3pm when the WiT Trust Premiers playoff against MAC in round 5 of the Nash Cup. While the Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves take on Bridge Pa at Tremain Field at 1.15pm. And kicking off their 2021 season will be our Sideline Bar ‘thirsty’ Thirds who will also be venturing out onto Tremain Field at 2.45 to take on Flaxmere
THAT the following is another little Covid-19 lockdown gem…… Did a BIG load of pyjamas so I would have enough clean work clothes for this week..
++++ Hard work will put YOU where good luck will find YOU
THEY SAID IT
“We’re pretty confident the boys are enjoying being here and they’re having a great time. As far as I know they’re all going to be here next…..at the moment.”
Maybe some wishful thinking from Hurricanes CEO Avan Lee on the lure of other options for some of his key players the likes of TJ Perenara, Japan, Ngani Laumape, France, Jordie Barrett, possibly Blues.
“Mate, huge. The guy is made for league, he’s tough, he’s fit, he’s skilful….as much as I’d love to see him back in rugby if it’s a six month gig for the Roosters, I don’t know if many of those will come in your lifetime.”
Hurricanes captain Dane Coles on TJ Perenara.
“It’s going to be an amazing opportunity for the younger generations coming through club and school rugby for Fiji as a whole.”

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy went for a job interview last week and the manager said, “We’re looking for someone who is responsible.”
“We’ll I’m your man Paddy replied, “In my last job, whenever anything went wrong, they said I was responsible.”
An Irish blonde got fed up with all the Blonde jokes……
So she cut her hair short and dyed it black. Bought a snazzy convertible and went driving through the countryside.
On a back country road, she drove up to a large flock of sheep that were slowly crossing the road.
As she sat there watching the flock she saw the farmer standing there.
She said “Hey I’ll bet you, if I can guess how many sheep you have in this flock, how about you give me one? “Ok,” he said, “give it a try.”
She stood in the seat and surveyed the flock and said: “You have 347 sheep!”
The farmer was amazed as he had exactly 347 sheep.
He told her to pick her one out and picked a really cute one. As she was putting it into her car.
The farmer said
“Wait a minute, how about if I can guess what colour your hair really is you give me my dog back?”
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
