WiT Trust NOBM Premiers first five Johnny Lauano with fullback Jonty Stewart
backing up has his progress stymied by Taradale defenders in yesterdays
second round Maddison Trophy encounter at Tremain Field.
Maddison Trophy – Round 2 + Beck-Guscott Cup + Hawkes Bay Challenge Shield
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS 24 TARADALE 36
Round two of the Maddison Trophy saw the boys pipped against old foe Taradale. The form team in the comp and unbeaten in 2021 the boys prepared well throughout the week and there was a real edge in the pre-game warm up.
The game itself was a very physical encounter and could have gone either way however it was Taradale who were able to capitalise on their opportunities to keep their noses in front and build scoreboard pressure. As would be the main headline of the game, Taradale used their noticeable size difference to open the scoring before we hit back through a James Holbrook try.
A long-range Taradale try followed by a charge down try saw Taradale extend the lead before we were able to build pressure in Taradale’s red zone and after some slick passing Michael Buckley crossed for the first of his two first half tries. A muffed exit play saw Taradale hit straight back onto attack and cross for their fourth try. Knowing that Taradale’s points were coming from mistakes or break outs the boys the kept their heads and some strong straight running saw our third try come on the stroke of half time. With Bain Champions conversion, the gap reduced to nine at half time.
The coaching team expressed a strong start to the second was needed but once again a Taradale break out try from 70m saw them add a further seven points to their tally. With plenty of time remaining, the game was played within the 22’s as either side never capitalised on their opportunities. A late Taradale penalty put the game beyond doubt before Reilly Hannan crossed for a consolation bonus point try.
You could not fault the boy’s effort as they worked hard for each other and threw their bodies around at will. Standouts were the Lee Moleli who ripped into everything and was strong with ball in hand, Zac Donaldson who served his backs well and was always a threat around the edges while experience heads Matt Gardner and Ricky Hayes threw themselves into everything and didn’t take a backward step all day.
With the loss, it saw the Hawkes Bay Challenge Shield leave the Club however, it must be celebrated that we defeated it for 40 times since winning it off Pirates in early 2016. Our tenue sets a new Hawkes bay record and more than doubled the previous record – something the club can be very proud of and big congratulations must go to all the players, coaches, managers and ball persons who were involved in this tenure of the shield.

The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves travelled over to Whitmore park for a tough encounter with the Texans. With a number of injuries in the squad this was not going to be an easy day at the office. The boys started the game well and Josh Read scored after just 8 minutes, converted by Adam Chapman and we were up 7-0. That would be our only points of the first half, giving away too many penalties and perhaps a little too much kicking gave Tech lots of ball and they crossed twice in the first half to lead 12-7 at the break.
The second half started and discipline is what was going to get us through this one. Tech continued to tackle high and a late tackle on Josh as he scored his second try which brought about a second yellow card for one of their players, 35 minutes remaining, 12 apiece and Tech down to 14 men the game was ours to put away. Hold the phone said Tech, they used their big boys effectively and some periods of average defence on our part saw them cross twice more before the 60 minute mark to lead 24-12. We knew if we could execute and play fast rugby we could pull this back and with our bench players adding some energy we set about the job at hand.
William Mead crossed in the corner on the 72nd minute mark, unconverted made it a 24-17 ball game. More ill-discipline from Tech saw them lose another player with 5 minutes to go, knowing we needed only 7 points to escape with a draw we put our heads down. Niue Sene Vaimoli picked the ball up at the back of a ruck and smiled his way under the posts untouched and we had a drawn ball game come 78 minutes. We took the kickoff and made our way just inside the Tech half before they were penalised and more ill-discipline saw them marched a very valuable 10 meters and up stepped Adam Chapman for a game winning shot at goal, 35ish meters out on the angle and cool as you like he sent it straight down the middle, cue the high fives.
Not our best performance but the standings table have us on maximum points after two very tough games. Again the game went the full 80 and the boys showed real heart staying in this one. Off to Taradale next week.

It was good to finally get a home game and with it the expectation a few of the old brigade would turn up to help out, but coming up against the first round winners must have been too much of a deterrent. Even so we started the game with 15 hearty fellas and once again they gave it their all. We would have had 1 more player but he had to ref the game, and to show he wasn’t going to be biased he wore a Taradale jersey under his refs top !
The game was marred by tackling errors, either too high or not at all, so we may have to do so some training on this new skill to the game of rugby. As the list of injuries mounts, we still need to find more players, but hopefully with a week off next week and a Friday night game the week after, a few more will come down and pull on the boots for the last 5 games of the season.
If you can get out of bed on a Sunday morning without hurting, you haven’t done your club and teammates a service the previous day. Well done boys. You’re all hurting. The club and your teammates are proud of ya.
Go the Mighty 3rds……..

DID YOU KNOW
THAT Saturday 12 June will be Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby’s annual Club Day which will see all our teams playing at Tremain Field. The feature game will be between our WiT Trust Premiers vs Hastings Rugby & Sports Premiers.
>>> It will also be a Special day for our Gold Card Members, Sponsors and our Life Members when the Club will be hosting these generous and loyal supporters of the Napier Old Boys Marist Club. >>> Invitations will be forwarded to them shortly.
THAT current All Black halfback Brad Weber certainly comes from good stock in rugby attributes along with younger brother Sam who played for our club’s Premiers a season or two ago before heading offshore. Brad was a member of the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship winning team in Italy. He has since also clocked up games for Otago (9), Waikato (26), Hawkes Bay (30) and the Chiefs (94) of which he is the current captain. Also NZ U20 (5), NZ (7), NZ Maori (7), South Island (1). Brad’s father Neil also a halfback represented Hawkes Bay (49) and was a member of the NZ Divisional team that toured Australia in 1991 along with club mate Peter O’Shaughnessy.
Stepping back another generation to Neil’s father and Brad and Sam’s grandfather Graham, also a halfback who represented Hawkes Bay on a number of occasions (8) until career ending injury curtailed his rugby ambitions. And of interest a little known fact is the Graham Weber and Kel Tremain both were named as two of the five most promising players of the year in the rugby bible the 1958 Rugby Almanac.
Some years later on moving from farming in southern Hawkes Bay to a kiwi fruit block on the outskirts of Napier Graham went on to follow a coaching path teaming up with Neil’s club Napier Marist where he became one of the provinces most successful rugby mentors. His 3 Maddison Trophies 1985, 1986, 1987, plus 2 Hawkes Bay Provincial Championships 1987 and 1989 and New Zealand Marist prestigious Spillane Cup in 1987 certainly gives testament to this. Graham went on to also become the Magpies assistant coach for three years – 1990-1992 with Graham Taylor Graeme Taylor.
THAT YOU should give it a try > Come and join the happy diners at the clubs Thursday Roasts evening following training or just having a night off cooking dinner. All you and or your family have to do is to plan ahead and put your order in for the number of dinners you require on a Wednesday evening to Tane / Chesna 0204 159 9633. Our Junior rugby players are also welcome as half size meals are also available. You can also take advantage of our normal bar facilities before and during your meal. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Below is a Herald Tribune report by the papers rugby scribe
Frank Long copied from the clubs 1982 scrapbook records.
THAT last weeks hard fought round one Maddison Trophy encounter against the vastly improved Tamatea side brought back memories of some 39 years ago, 1982 to be precise which saw Marist Premiers lose to the Brian Morris led Hastings side in the McWilliams Maddison Trophy final. As well as this the team also won the first round Nash Cup.
Much credit must go to Morris who possibly had his best season since moving to Hawke’s Bay. His individual brilliance, his guidance and his accurate goalkicking were all first class which helped so much to give Tamatea an advantage over most of their opponents. Also stars of the Waipatu marae based club were the Harris brothers Gerald and George who could foot it in most company and certainly were valuable assets to their team in achieving the honours that came Tamatea’s way.
It was certainly a season of what could have been for the Mick Cull coached Marist side who did well to reach Maddison Final after looking very much like being out of the running earlier in the season. The success they had was certainly came through the consistent leadership and hard play from Magpie and the Marist team captain Fred Harbottle who was having one of his best ever seasons ever and also backed up by our Irish import lock Eugene McCarthy from London Irish. Also out in the backline Magpie midfielder Simon O’Dowd and first five Peter O’Shaughnessy while the Benson brothers Pat and Jim were amongst the key elements up front in the Marist clubs sides regular 1982 winning performances.
At the end of the season Simon headed off with Eugene McCarthy for a season of northern hemisphere rugby with London Irish. While back at the McLean Park clubrooms Marist club mates could only look at the empty shelf space that for an ounce of luck could have held a brace of silverware on display. Such is rugby….
THAT ‘between the sticks’ would be an apt title for the snippet I found while researching Tamatea’s past winning performance. Buried in the smallprint in a September ’82 edition of Team Talk was the following. It was a fine effort when our senior 3 five-eight Kevin Weipeihana single handedly beat the opposition Tech OB when his team beat won 9-6 recently. Kev ‘potted’ 3 drop goals for all of Marist’s points.
The last time Marist registered three field goals was about ‘half a century’ ago – when ‘young’ Sam O’Brien fresh up from Marlborough slotted 3. Reliable sources at the time informed under their breath that one was even a punt !
THAT only in Ireland – May the grass grow long on the road to Hell for want of use.
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 ?

A NEW . . . club record was set on Thursday night. Somewhere around 70 roast beef meals were served up. This beat the previous record of 65 (roast pork) set in August last year.
FORMER . . . Magpie and Napier Pirates first-five Aayden Clarke has stepped down from his position as CEO of the Pacific Rugby Players following the announcement of two Pasifika teams to join Super Rugby in 2022. Clarke had worked tirelessy over many years to bring this to fruition. He believes that the Pacific Rugby Players association will go from strength to strength now.
LAST WEEKEND’S . . . opening round of the 2021 Maddison produced 257 points. Winning sides scored 155 of those and in doing so scored 23 of the 38 touchdowns.
LOCAL ATHLETE . . . Eric Speakman is chasing his Tokyo Olympic qualifying dream in the USA at the moment. During the week he kicked off his bid with an outstanding 13.22.8 over 5000m at the Sound Running Meet in Los Angeles. Good enough to place him third in the 30 strong field. Eric’s time was the 26th fastest of the year World-wide and places him 9th the all time Kiwi list. Oh also a Hawke’s Bay Gisborne record too, he held the previous one at 13.31.50 set over last summer in Auckland.
MEANWHILE . . . across the ditch in Perth. Mandurrah were far too classy for my eldest grandson’s Palmyra Under 9s side last Saturday. According to reports (from mom) the Mandurrah boys were experts at stripping the ball in the tackle. So much so they ran out the winners by 11-2. Some small consolation for Bentley was taking POD honours for Pallies for his two try effort! It was a different story on Sunday though with his Booragoon AFL side recording an impressive 10-1 win and another goal for the boy too.
AND NOW . . . something for a laugh. Have you heard about Murphy’s Law? Yes. anything that can go wrong will go wrong. How about Cole’s Law? No. It’s julienned cabbage in a creamy dressing.
Cheers McGoo

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy goes to the vet with his goldfish. “I think it’s got epilepsy” he tells the vet.
Vet takes a look and says “It seems calm enough to me”.
Paddy says, “I haven’t taken it out of the bowl yet”.
Every night, an Irishman walks into a bar and orders three shots of whiskey.
He downs each shot, pays the barman, and leaves.
The bartender eventually asks him why he always drinks exactly three shots.
“It’s one for me and one for each of my brothers,” he tells the bartender. “One is in America and the other is in Australia, and we do this to feel like we’re all still drinking together.”
A month later the Irishman only orders two shots of whiskey.
“Oh no,” says the barman. “I’m sorry for your loss. Was it the one in America or Australia?”
“What?” The Irishman looks puzzled, then glances at the whiskey glasses. “Hell no, it’s nothin’ like that. It’s just that I’ve decided to stop drinking.”
An old Irish farmer’s dog goes missing and he’s inconsolable. His wife says “Why don’t you put an advert in the paper?”
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. “What did you put in the paper?” his wife asks.
“Here boy” he replies.
