“Team up with a Winning Club in 2022”
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.

Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing

He also ensured that the club attended the Spillane tournaments in other centres.
He took on the role as Chairman of the Board for 9 years (2013-2021 and will continue in the role again in 2022. During this period Terry’s hard work and boundless energy ensured the Club achieved significant success both on the rugby field and financial stability off it.
He has been the clubs delegate to the HBRU and also served as the manager of Magpies team for two years.
Terry’s nomination for Life Membership of the Napier Old Boys Marist Club was moved by President and Life Member Phil Beck and seconded by former President and Life Member Gary Macdonald with the unanimous support of the Board and the members present.
Club Patron and Life Member Ian MacRae was called upon to present Terry with his Life Members badge.

Report from the DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 2021
Chris Benson
Financial Performance
The 2021 financial statements show a net loss after depreciation of $1900
This is a reduction on last years $27,000 surplus. This includes a $14,000 operating loss for the Junior club (which has been explained below) so the Senior club had a $12,000 operating surplus. This is a good result in an increasingly unpredictable operating environment.
The major changes in income and expenses are as follows:
Positive
Increased Clubroom hire income $17,000
Increase in Grant income $52,000
Negative
Decrease in bar result $18,000
Increase in Junior result $35,000
Increase in depreciation $13,000
Clubroom Hire
The clubrooms have hire out as a COVID vaccination clinic over the past few months. This has put the facilities to great use during weekdays and provided us with rental income. This has also helped to offset the loss of income during lockdowns and restricted opening.
Grant Funding
This year we completed the training field floodlight upgrade. This was made possible with grants from Grassroots ($15,000), One Foundation ($10,000), Eastern & Central ($13,000) and TAB NZ ($5,000). We also received $4,355 from Lion Foundation for the security system upgrade, $30,505 from Pub Charity for playing expenses and Spillane Tournament, $5,000 from Eastern & Central for operating expenses, $2,000 from One Foundation for NZ Marist expenses and $5,507 from Grassroots for Junior club gear.
Bar Profit
Gross Bar Income was consistent with last year. With restrictions during some of the year and another lockdown this is a great effort. We did not receive and COVID wage subsidies this year. Cost of sales was also up due to increase in prices. A big thank must go to the bar staff for adapting to the ever changing hospitality landscape.
Net Junior Income
The decrease in net Junior income is mainly due to timing. There is $24,000 of income that has been received in advance (showing as a liability) that will be recognised in 2022 when the trips go ahead. The Junior club maintains a strong cash on hand position.
Depreciation
There was a loss on disposal of$5,456 for the lights and security systems that were replaced during the year. There was also an increase in depreciation expense because of capital purchases.
Financial Position
The Club has Nett Assets of$548,000 and no borrowings.

DID YOU KNOW
THAT former club director Mike O’Connor was appointed as our new club President at last weeks Annual General Meeting taking over from Phil Beck who has held the role for the past decade. We wish Mike all the best in his new post and Phil on his retirement. And Thanks for the efforts you put in during your term.
HERE AND THERE with McGoo
RUGBY . . . World magazine this week released their list of the top 20 players in the World. 1. Antoine Dupont (France), 2. Ardie Savea (NZ), 3. Maro Itoje (Eng), 4. Michael Hooper (Aus), 5. Taniela Tupou (Aus), 6. Aaron Smith (NZ), 7. Lukhanyo Am (RSA), 8. Cheslin Kolbe (RSA), 9. Tom Curry (Eng), 10. Sam Whitelock (NZ), 11. Abby Dow (Eng), 12. Brodie Retallick (NZ), 13. Rose Bernadou (France) 14. Beauden Barrett (NZ), 15. Richie Mounga (NZ), 16. Jerry Tuwai (Fiji), 17. Eben Etzebeth (RSA), 18. Courtney Lawes (Eng), 20. Josh Adams (Wales).
I HEARD . . . a whisper hard on the heels of big Alec Williams departure back to Australia, that another of the Green Machine’s tight five is leaving us. Hard working and impressive prop James Holbrook is apparently heading back to Wellington.
HOW IRONIC . . . is it? That the Hawke’s Bay Magpies will get to defend the Ranfurly Shield next season on what will be the 100th anniversary of them winning it for the first time in 1922. Let’s hope the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union does something special for the province who sit third behind Auckland and Canterbury with the most Ranfurly Shield victories.
WELL . . . further to my piece last week (above) floating the idea of celebrating the century since winning the “Log ‘o’ Wood” back in 1922. I was fortunate to have a wee chat about that very subject with HBRU CEO Jay Campbell at the Volunteers Xmas function on Friday night. He was quite receptive to the idea. So from floating the idea, I’ve gone to planting the seed. Watch this space as they say.
I’M NOT . . . sure I’ve mentioned this before. But I would like to acknowledge the kind hearted and generous act by Green Machine midfield back Paul Bickle. On the occasion of my 65th birthday back in July he shot back into the changing rooms at Taradale and then came out and presented me with his No. 12 Premier jersey from 2017. Fair to say I was totally blown away by his selfless gesture. He said to me that he’d seen me in plenty club tops but never a Prems one. So thank you Paul, I’ll wear it proudly next season!
MEANWHILE . . . across the ditch in Perth. Just a relays day at the track this weekend to round out the first half of the season. Last weekend did see the boy notch up another couple of PBs in the 100m and 400m.
AND NOW . . . a bit of a laugh. A man boards a plane with six kids. After they get settled in their seats, a woman sitting across the aisle leans over to him and asks, “Are all of those kids yours?” He replies, “No. I work for a condom company. These are customer complaints.”
Cheers McGoo

The Leprauchan Comments
An Irishman and an American were sitting in the bar at Dublin airport.
“I’ve come to meet my brother,” said the Irishman. “He’s due to fly in from America in an hour’s time. It’s his first trip home in forty years”.
“Will you be able to recognize him?” asked the American.
“I’m sure I won’t,” said the Irishman. “After all, he’s been away for a long time”.
“I wonder if he’ll recognise you?” said the American.
“Of course he will,” said the Irishman. “Sure, an’ I haven’t been away at all!”
Some elderly Irish friends were chatting.
“My arms are so weak I can hardly lift a cup of tea.”
“My eyes are so bad I can’t even see my cup of tea.”
“I can’t turn my head because of the pain in my neck!”
“My heart pills make me dizzy.”
“Well, that’s the price we pay for getting old.”
One woman pipes up: “Well, it’s not that bad! Thank goodness, we can all still drive!”
Paudie goes into a bar and orders seven shots of tequila and one Guinness.
The barman lines up shots and goes to get the Guinness.
When he comes back with the pint, all seven shots are gone.
The barman says: “Wow! You sure drank those fast.”
Paudie explains: “You would drink fast too if you had what I have.”
The barman asks: “What do you have?”
The guy reaches into his pocket and says: “Fifty cents!”
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
