Richard Kepka Builders NOBM Premier Reserves centre Andries Lindeque crosses
for the opening try of the first round Jack Santo Cup Final against Maraenui with
halfback Adam Chapman obliges with the conversion.

Town & Country grade   –   Jack Santo Cup  FINAL


NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER RESERVE  18  MARAENUI  22

The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves travelled over to Maraenui in an attempt to keep the teams trophy winning tradition alive.    Unfortunately maybe the Nui wanted it that little bit more and came away with a tough 22-18 victory.   It was definitely a game we could have had with a number of chances going down, a couple of referee calls not going our way and a couple of set piece plays we wish we could have back.  However Maraenui brought the intensity for the full 80 minutes and deserved their long awaited trophy.   The game ebbed and flowed, we defended our line strongly and it could have gone either way in the end.  The team are looking forward now to the challenges ahead in round 2.

Andries Lindeque opened the scoring after 7 minutes, converted by Adam Chapman , Adam kicked two further penalties early in the second half. Sami Lauano crossed the line after 70 minutes to make it a 4 point ball game. Unfortunately we couldn’t cross the line again and Maraenui came away with the win.

Tries Andries Lindeque, Sami Lauano.    Pens Adam Chapman 2/3.    Cons Adam Chapman 1/2

DID YOU KNOW 

 

      THAT last Saturday following the Premiers Nash Cup game against MAC and the Reserves Bridge Pa encounter we had a surprise visitor to the clubrooms that being the former Auckland Marist All Black Bernie McCahill along with our club chaplain Fr Barry Scannell.   Bernie’s visit takes one’s mind back to an earlier involvement with the former Napier Marist Club that being some 34 years ago, 1987 to be precise, which had one diving into back editions of TeamTalk to come up with the following article.

Flashback:  ‘The Marist Rugby Club were pleased to be able to arrange the visit of two of the four Auckland Marist Rugby World Cup All Black stars to St Patricks School, Riverbend Road, their other two Auckland Marist clubmates John Kirwan and Terry Wright were involved at the time elsewhere.  The welcome from the children that the two special guests received really impressed the visitors who were visibly taken aback by the tremendous roar of appreciation on their entry into the Aquinas Hall.  The guests were treated to a Maori welcome from members of the junior school as well as several other items.  Following a question and answer session, many posters, banners and best wishes letters were presented the All Blacks.

On their departure from the hall they were besieged by young autograph hunters and had to spend some twenty minutes obliging the hoards of eager young fans, with as many girls as boys wanting the ‘magic’ signatures.  With the pressure on the time for these sportsmen it was especially pleasing after missing their own lunch to visit the school at short notice, to see them prepared to further consider the children by continuing on to watch the school intermediate level rugby players in action in matches against Tamatea Intermediate.  These St Patricks youngsters had been bitterly disappointed when they had to depart for their games just prior to the All Blacks arrival at the school, little did they know that their heroes would end up actually coming out to watch them play.

Club President Joe Kelly who arranged the visit and who escorted the special visitors to the school ended up the centre of attention too as he was also having to sign autographs for the young fans. Although we couldn’t vouch for the fact that the kids were swapping three of Zinzan’s for one of Joes !!!’

Chris Leahy, Bernie McCahill, Damien Thompson, Zinzan Brook and Simon Dornan pose

While 1987 Napier Marist President Joe Kelly joins in the autograph signing too….

 

  THAT with the nominations for the 2020 Hawke’s Bay Senior Sports Awards just released one finds it incredible that two standout Hawkes Bay rugby stars who obviously didn’t rate a look in didn’t even make the list. Magpie captain Ash Dixon who led his Hawke’s Bay side to the championship win and promotion to the Cup pool for 2021, he also led the Maori All Blacks last season.  The other Hawke’s Bay player was the razzle dazzle halfback Folau Fokatava who had a standout session for his winning side and was a key member of the Highlanders Super Rugby squad.

  THAT  Interestingly this week will be our Premier teams 39th defence of the Hawkes Bay Challenge Shield.  The previous highest record was held by Taradale who defended the sort after shield for 14 challenges back in 2013-14.   No Pressure boys and all the best next Saturday against the transformed Tamatea Premier side who are right back on the ball at present after spending several seasons at the bottom of the league,  and who now have recorded some well earned wins in the Nash Cup round.  Great for their Club as well as Premier rugby in Hawkes Bay.   So members Make Sure YOU are there at Tremain Field on Saturday to catch the Action and our next Shield defence.   Also on the line will be the Henare Harris Shield which we currently hold and is played for on the holders home game matches against Tamatea and the former Celtic now Hastings Rugby & Sports Premier teams.  And just as an aside it will also be the opening round of the 2021 Maddison Trophy competition.

THAT an Opinion for what its worth  –  How times have changed over the intervening years this is with reference to the way club rugby has been somewhat dumbed down game wise to what many of us grew up with in other times.  For example the current Nash Cup competition which is now divided into two pool of five teams ending up in a playoff for the top team from each pool to decide the trophy winner which saw the 2021 final yesterday between Hastings Rugby & Sports and Taradale with the winner being  Taradale  with their 46-19 win.

Then from those two starting pools in the Nash Cup the bottom two drop out and the Hawkes Bay premier competition for the coveted Maddison Cup (which incidently replaced the original Maddison Trophy)  now becomes an eight team seven match event.   Obviously all in aid of the Hawkes Bay representative programme.  Fine for the players who have earned the right to a Magpie jersey but for the remainder guess their boots  have to go back into the gear bag to await another season.

In an effort to get more matches played at Premier level the idea of each team playing a game or two under lights appears to have become abhorrent.  With excuses such as our players would be too tired after their days work or two games in a week would be too much.  Harden up guys both teams would be playing at the same disadvantage if any.

While back in the day two full rounds of competition play was the norm and this was often followed by a fair dose of Sunday rugby as well, featuring numerous local mercantile XV’s made up of players from club rugby both past and present,  it was also a chance to play in a team alongside opponents from other clubs.  These teams were the likes of the Railways,  Watersiders,  Fertilizer Works,   Watties, Rothmans,  Freezing Works to name a few that come to mind.  Maybe those were the days…….

 THAT only in Ireland  –   A best friend is like a four-leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.

THAT it’s not since 2004 that the Hurricanes has finished last of the five New Zealand Super Rugby sides.  Lets see if the improve in the upcoming trans-Tasman series kicking off next Friday vs Waratahs in Sydney. Then vs Rebels on 21st May Wellington.  In Napier vs Western Force Friday 28 May.  On June 5 vs Brumbies in Canberra and then the Reds in Wellington Friday June 11.

THAT now is the time to be getting your mates together to make a foursome for the Hawkes Bay Saracens Club’ Ambrose Gold Tournament.  This event will be held be held on Friday 14th May at the Hawkes Bay Golf Club and teeing off at 12noon.  >>> Scroll on down for more Info…..

             FOLLOWING THE . . . just completed five rounds of the Nash Cup there was 207 tries scored, 126 conversions, 34 penalties kicked along with one dropped goal.  The top five clubs try-wise were Green Machine 34, Tamatea 25, Taradale 25, Clive 24 , HRS 23.  At the other end of the scale Tech 20, MAC 16 , Havelock North and Central 14 each and Napier Pirates 12.  The leading three individual points scorers were Havelock North’s Trinity Neera-Spooner 46, HRS’s Connor with 44.  Our own Bain Champion was third with 41 points. Leading try scorers were Johnny Ika (MAC) 6 and Elijah Mataira (Tamatea) 5.  The Green Machine’s Micheal “The Eel” Buckley touched down four times.

IT WAS . . . a big welcome back to the club’s Thursday Night Roast this week.  This season being prepared by Tane and Chesna.  My sources told me there was 41+ roast beef meals served up on the night.  Very favourable comments from those in attendance. Roll on next week, roast pork and crackling!

FORMER . . . England cricketer Michael Vaughan was tipping the Black Caps to beat India in the inaugural Test Championship final beginning 1st August at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.  When appearing on Spark Sports The Show Downstairs last week Vaughan waxed lyrical about Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson and said “If Kane was Indian, he’d be the greatest cricketer in the world, but he’s not because you’re not allowed to say that Kohli is not the greatest, because you’d get an absolute pelting on social media.”

DID YOU KNOW . . . Marino and Liana Mikaele Tu’u have become the first brother and sister combination to play Super Rugby.  Marino of course with the Highlanders and last weekend Liana took the field for the Blues against the Chiefs.

THE RACE . . .is hotting up for the vacant NSW Waratahs head coaching role. The front runners are current Brothers Brisbane DOR 69 year old John Connolly, London Irish defence coach and former leaguey Les Kiss, also with his hat in the ring is Aussie Women’s 7s coach John Monenti.  Add to this there is also speculation that former Wallabies mentor Michael Cheika will be appointed either General Manager or Director of Rugby, depending on who gets the Waratahs top job.

AND NOW . . . something for a laugh.  Two children ordered their mother to stay in bed one Mother’s Day morning.  As she lay there looking forward to breakfast in bed, the smell of bacon floated up from the kitchen.  But after a good long wait she finally went downstairs to investigate.  She found them both sitting at the table eating bacon and eggs.  “As a surprise for Mother’s Day,” one explained, “We decided to cook our own breakfast.”

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 the following is another of those little Covid-19 lockdown gems……   Remember all those times  when you wished the weekend would last forever.  Well, Wish Granted.  Happy Now ???


++++
  Success does not consist in never making mistakes, but in never making the same one a second time


You would have though this match was being played at Tremain Field judging by the number of NOBM
players and supporters present on the sidelines at Maraenui Park yesterday to take in the Action.

THEY SAID IT

“We want to be the best team in this competition, and to do that you need to beat the best.”

Ex High Marist Netball
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Results this week….. Thanks Glenys

A busy, busy day for sport yesterday, especially those with children now playing all their various codes in the morning too!

An awesome day for EHM.

Celtics had a good win against Tech 34-28. I can see Div3 calling, girls!!!

Roses had a close win over Taradale 18-20. So glad you managed to out run those young ones!!

Dubliners and Clovers played each other in a lovely, clean game. Clovers took the honours 13-20

Emeralds showed awesome progress and resilience against a tough Taradale team. They won 13-11

Alan Gardiner come and watch Abbie developing to a lovely defence player

A huge thank u to all the umpires and supporters… it makes it so much easier and gives a great feeling of community spirit to have you all there.

Super 40’s has been postponed to next Tuesday. Another week to ‘get fit’!!!

EHM💙💚💙💚💙💚

4 teams played at the same time which makes it difficult to support all players.

Just great to see talent from the younger players to the more Senior players.

I’d you want entertainment watch Kat Brown her athleticism her movements can be sublime.

Thanks for moves Scott Robertson get practising

An enjoyable day

Pass the Word Around

The Leprauchan Comments

Murphy and Paddy were wandering aimlessly across their work site. The foreman asked what they were doing.
“We’re carrying these bricks to the other end of the site.”
The foreman demanded, “What bricks?”
“Well, will you look at that,” says Murphy to Paddy. “We’ve forgotten the bricks.”

While on the job, Paddy and his work mates were lifting a few pints.
The boss said, “You can’t drink while you’re working!”
Paddy replied, “Right, don’t worry. We’re not working.”

Mick staggered home in the wee small hours after a heavy night out with his mates. When he woke up the next morning, he found he was in bed with the dog beside him in his wife’s place.

“Glory be!” said Mick. ” I must have been really drunk when I got home. I thought there was a lot of noise when I threw the dog out!”

Old Tim McGovern, a regular pain in the neck at a local restaurant, was once again bothering the waiter. First, he asked him to turn up the air conditioning because he was too hot, then he asked him to turn it down because he was too cold, and so on for about an hour. Paddy, the waiter was very patient; he walked back and forth and never once got angry.
Finally, a second customer asked him why he didn’t throw Tim McGovern out.
“Oh, I really don’t care,” said Paddy with a smile. “We don’t even have an air conditioner.”

 


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
