“Team up with a winning Club in 2021”

Why would you play for Old Boys Marist ?

We have a simple philosophy at Napier Old Boys Marist – that we are a well organised rugby club both on and off the field, we are fit, disciplined, well coached and our players are very loyal.  Our teams are always well presented.

 

At Napier Old Boys Marist we promote a strong work ethic, we play with a special passion and honesty which is fun to be part of, but we also expect our players to carry that honesty through to their work and personal lives.

In summary we as a club will create a positive environment so that players can expect to progress in their rugby careers.  To excel players must also take responsibility for their rugby and life in general.

Maddison Trophy  –  Round 3  + 

 NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIERS  49 TECH 22

Cold and windy conditions greeted us at Whitmore Park for the round three clash against the Texans.  Playing into a strong wind, it was the Texans who scored first when they intercepted a pass on their goal line and when the distance.  7-0 down but the signs were good as the boys held the ball and made easy inroads combining well as a team to give winger Michael Buckley space to dance down the touchline and score in the corner.

Moments later it was an action replay with Buckles in for his second while brainstorming centre Sonny Lilo scored in the 26th minute to extend the lead to 10. The Texans were quick to hit back scoring their 2nd before first five Bain Champion scored while our 5th try on the stroke of halftime when Buckles went in again to complete his first half hat trick.

Up 27-12 at half time despite playing into a strong wind, it was smiles all round and the coaches chat was relaxed and everyone was confident of the desired result heading into the 2nd spell. It was further enhanced when Buckles went over for his 4th try in the 41st minute.

With the game safe play started to loosen up which suited Tech with each team having sustained periods of attack and each team crossed for a further 2 tries with hard working flanker Pouvi Fatialofa and comeback kid Will Tremain scoring.

As we build towards the business end of the competition, the coaches are seeing pleasing results and yesterday was a prime example with young fellas like Reilly Hannon and Sonny Lilo putting their hands up alongside some of the seasoned pros.  Now for a well-earned rest over Queen’s birthday weekend and hopefully it assists with more personnel being available in the coming weeks.

Thanks you to all our hardly supporters who braved yesterday’s conditions, we look forward to catching up with you all again at home in 2 weeks’ time when we take our local Marist Brothers at Tremain Field on Club Day.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER RESERVE  18  TARADALE  10

The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves travelled out to Tareha to take on the old foe Taradale on their club day. This has always been a tough game for the boys and they target this encounter every year.   Wet conditions meant that discipline and possession were crucial out there, the boys started off a little shaky and Taradale were first to post points with a penalty after 10 minutes. We got back down their end and Adam Chapman levelled the scores at 3 not long after.

We had most of the ball in the first half and felt we had the better of Taradale but we just couldn’t turn it into points. Up stepped Captain Hamiora Miringaorangi, playing at second 5 this week was amongst everything, pick and go and crosses the line on the last play of the first half and again from close range on the first play of the second. 45 minutes in and the boys were looking comfortable at 15-3.

Adam added another penalty at the 50 minute mark and 18-3 with 30 minutes to play and it was ours to lose. Taradale had the better of the last 30 and had us scrambling on defence on a number of occasions.  We defended strongly and held them out until the 75th minute when they scored and closed the score to 18-8. This would be the final score and to walk away with that in these conditions was a testament of how much the boys wanted it.

The coaching crew had nothing but praise for the team after that effort, we defended strongly, our chop tackling ploy is working well, forwards carried with power and most pleasing was our much improved discipline.  A number of players could have seen themselves in the 3,2,1s this week.  Special thanks to the 3rds guys for coming over Taine Williams and John Felton, also Fatu Peletiso who has played his last game of the season for us, a loosie who moved into the front row when we were short up front, lots of power with a devastating fend, good luck big man.

The photo below tells the story of what it is like to be a player, a coach, and a parent of the Napier Old Boys Marist Junior rugby whanau.

The NOBM Baker Tilly 7th grade played their second only ever game of tackle rugby on Saturday. Beating a very good Clive team 6 tries to 4 and are now two wins from two for the season.  Coach Condy said, “The team has skipped 6th grade and jump up to 7th grade to play tackle, so Kurt and I expected the team to struggle as half the team is giving away a year in age and 15kgs to their opposition. However a never give up, always try your best and to play for your team attitude is working well for them so far

“What a Smile?” – Haaroa Buxton (aka H the runaway train) on his way for his length
of the field, match winning try in the final play of the game on Saturday.

HERE AND THERE with McGoo

WHILE . . . numbers were down from the previous week there was still a good turnout for a scrummy roast pork on Thursday night.  Sorry Rick, the crackling was by far the best yet!

INTERESTING . . . to read this week that champion mare Melody Belle sold at the Sydney Magic Millions sale for $2.8m Her final race was last weekend in the Doomben in Brisbane last weekend, finishing 5th.  In all Melody Belle won 14 Group One races in her stellar career that began as a 2 year-old winning the 2017 Bonecrusher NZ Stakes at Awapuni.  Get this though, Melody Belle only cost her original owners $57k to buy!

LAST WEEKEND’S . . . second round of the 2021 Maddison produced 211 points. Winning sides scored 137 of those and in doing so scored 18 of the 30 touchdowns.  After 11 games this season the Green Machine has scored 42 tries and 32 conversions.  The next nearest to them is HRS with 38. Individually Michael “The Eel” Buckley has six tries and Bain Champion is the leading points scorer with 58.

BIRTHDAYS . . . that I know about this past week went to Green Machine prop Lee Moleli who was 22 on 25th May and former Prems utility back Brendon Exeter two days later.  Coming up tomorrow is former NOBM prop and current HBRU CEO Jay Campbell.  And referee…

MEANWHILE . . . across the ditch in Perth.  Arks were no match for my eldest grandson’s Palmyra Under 9s side last Saturday.  The Pallies boys picking up their first W of the season.  The boy made up for last week’s poor return by scorching for fours tries this time.  Then on Sunday with his Booragoon AFL side Bentley scored an impressive 5 goals in a POD performance.

WE WENT  to visit my brother in hospital because he’d crashed his motorcycle into a tree and impaled himself onto a tree branch I asked the doctor.  “How is he?”

The doctor said ” He’s not out of the woods yet.”

Cheers McGoo

 

THAT  the latest COVID situation in Victoria has forced the Highlanders and Melbourne Rebels match to be moved to Sydney.   It means Sunday’s match won’t be at Queenstown with the Highlanders agreeing to fly to Sydney to play the Rebels at Leichhardt Oval at 5pm.  The venue change will certainly be certainly be a kick in the butt  for Queenstown tourism who have really suffered over the past twelve months or so through lack of visitors.

New Zealand had closed the travel bubble for Victorian travellers which forced the Melbourne Rebels to head to Sydney as they tried to work on logistics in making it over the ditch.  However, the worsening situation in Melbourne has led to an extension of the travel ban and the Rebels were unable to secure an exemption.

“We are pleased to be able to keep the competition going, but are working closely with Sanzaar, Rugby Australia and the Rebels to ensure all measures are in place to keep the Highlanders players, coaches, and management safe,” NZ Rugby’s Chris Lendrum said.  The Rebels players were all to be tested for COVID before todays match.

 

    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……  People are scared of getting fined for congregating in crowds.  As if catching a deadly disease and dying a horrible death wasn’t enough of a  deterrent.

The Leprauchan Comments
An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman were all stranded in a desert and somehow manage to find a deer. They all wanted their fair share so the Englishman said “We’ll sort it out by who you support”. The Englishman said “I support Liverpool so I’ll have the Liver”.
Then the Scotsman said “I support Hearts so I’ll have the heart”.
The Irishman said “I support Arsenal but I’m not that hungry!”

Paddy arrived for his interview for a driver position at Dublin Bus.
He said, “Sorry I’m late.”
The interviewer responded, “You’re hired.”

An Irish company was having problems with its employees, and as so often happens, the union intervened, and the labour negotiations began. The company’s chief negotiator held up a copy of the morning edition of the local newspaper. “This man,” he announced, “called in sick yesterday! Yet here on the sports page is a photo of the supposedly ill employee who just won yesterday’s golf tournament with an excellent score.”
The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator. “Be Jaysus,” he said. “Just think of the score he could have had if he hadn’t been sick!”

 


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
