“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.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premier 49 – 34 MAC Premier
NOBM’s second round fixture was played on a sunny Anzac weekend at Flaxmere Park. After some great early defence within 3 mins the OBM backs put together an attack which saw them open the scoring with Josh McIntyre touching down and Jonty Stewart adding the conversion. For the rest of the 1st half MAC dominated possession and territory and NOBM fell off tackles and gave them space to run. As they ran in 4 tries and 3 conversions. We had a small opportunity late in the half and in the 35th minute we scored after a good lineout drive try to Terry Marsh with Jonty adding the conversion. We went into the break 14 – 26 down.
A few stern words from head coach Ellery Wilson and assistant for the day Sam McNicol it was about chop and tackle, get up and cut down their space and for the team to hang onto the ball and be patient. This worked a treat and a few minutes into the 2nd forty after a great line-out drive resulting in Logan Ede scoring with Jonty adding the conversion. 21- 26. Enjoying a bit more possession and a lot better defence saw Josh McIntyre score in the corner and again Jonty with the conversion 26 all.
It was all on now with still 20 mins to go MAC got a penalty which made it 26- 29 and we came back hard with a great try to Pouvi Fatialofa with Jonty adding the conversion up 33 – 29 and 12 minutes left to play. For the next 12 it was end to end hit to hit like Tyson Fury full contact our boys were much smaller but hunted together as a team like a pack of hungry wolves.
A yellow card to MAC but however that didn’t stop them and in the 77th minute they scored to make it 33- 34 to the hosts. They missed the conversion.
For the next 2 mins our boys throw the kitchen sink at it and we were awarded 2 penalties in front of their posts however our boys wanted the try and halfback Zach Donaldson obliged with the quick tap passes player of the Paoraun Manel – Harman side stepped and went in under the posts right on full time Jonty added the conversion which resulted in a 49-34 win to the ‘GREEN MACHINE’.
A massive club effort with a lot of the team away with Covid and other commitments and a number of our 2nds stepping up after playing earlier on. Thanks guys. There was sure to be some sore bodies but nothing a few cold ones wouldn’t fix.

NOB MARIST Premier Reserve 34 – 27 MAC Premier Reserve
The sun was shining and conditions were perfect for rugby, the premier reserves turned up early for what was expected to be challenge, not wanting a repeat of last week’s poor numbers we had called in reinforcements from across the ditch from veteran 2nds Jared Travers and Corey Hardie. At 30 minutes from kick off we were wondering if the opposition were going to turn up, but they eventually showed and we got underway. After fumbling the kick off and getting pushed back to our line, MAC were awarded a penalty and new face Caleb Lee had a bit of trouble retreating the 10 which the Ref decided to send him off for in the first minute. This set the tone for the first 30 minutes of the game where we continued to make handling mistakes and generally get penalised and they ran in 3 tries and 2 conversions. Then we remembered how to hold onto the ball and with some good open play and some skill out wide Kitz ran in a try in the corner in the 28th minute followed by Ryan Murphy powering over 8 minutes later.
In classic MAC fashion they started strong but as the game wore on, we took the upper hand. They only managed 1 more try and a penalty in the 2nd half but we just kept getting better with more open running play, a 50/22 from Hamiora and plenty of bunting from Levi. We mounted the comeback with a try under the sticks from Sami and conversion from number 8, Migao, followed by a try from front row stalwart Morunga under the bar and 2 more wide out tries from Kitz for his hat-trick to bring the final score to 34-27 and the premier reserves first official win of the season.

NOB MARIST Thirds 21 – 44 FLAXMERE
This week was a complete turnaround from last week. We had to default last week as we had less than 10 players – fortunately this week we had a full squad of 22 players with more sitting on the side-line who couldn’t play as we reached the limit of 22. There was also a full management team on the side-line as well. The coaching staff are happy with the numbers and there are promising signs that if we can keep this group together then we will start to see better results as the season progresses.

NOB MARIST Colts 17 – 35 ONGA TIKO Colts
It was an away game for the Napier Collision Repair Colts team with us travelling to Matthews Park in Tikokino to play OngaTiko.
The weeks training leading up to this match had been disrupted with players away for different reasons and the warm up leading into the game was also disrupted following the trip down on the luxury touring coach arranged by Wade. Fortunately the team was again bolstered by a few boys on holiday from St Johns College and some newcomers who we hope will be here for the remainder of the season.
Onga Tiko are always hard to play down there and yesterday was no exception, our lack of real training time showed as the well drilled home team really took it to us.
Our forward pack played well in patches and we dominated the scrums but struggled with lineouts. Player of the day Meki Saviinaea had a huge work rate for the full game, Luke Chamberlain led the team well and was busy with ball in hand, scoring a good try late in the game. Daniel Missimoa played well in the midfield. Coach Sam Birch was right when he said that we certainly have the talent to beat teams like OngaTiko but we need to front up to training and lift the attitude to really show how good we can be. Final score 36 – 17 win to OngaTiko.

Below: Finley Sam with the first of two tries in our CHB game
ON TOUR – The NOBM 12th grade new combined team from the Tremain Phantoms and Balmoral Pharmacy travelled to Wellington over Easter for their tour. We started our journey with a game against CHB, it was a very close tussle. A great last minute intercept by Finley-Sam Williams sealed the deal with a 24/14 win.
Our base at Petone Top 10 was amazing, it gave the players a chance to hang out and chill. We were very grateful to the Upper Hutt Rams for rustling up a team for us to play. We had a convincing win. A hat trick for Campbell Thompson after coming back from injury was great to see.
Sadly our third club couldn’t field a team due to our old friend COVID. That didn’t stop the parents taking on the kids. The take no prisoners game ended in a draw after a runaway try was called time on just before the adults were able to take the win. Rugby was the winner on the day!
We had go karts at Daytona which the adults got in first. We had archery tag, hot pools, the Zoo, the Cable car and a trip to Mount Victoria to see beautiful Wellington by night.
Big thanks to everyone that did their bit to help the team get there. Thanks so much for the use of the vans Brendon Mahony. Thanks also goes out to Michael McAleer for helping the team look smart in their club hoodies To Martin Bryant of Impress Promotions for the drink bottles and handy gear bags, and to all of the other very generous businesses that have sponsored the kids playing jerseys for the season. We were super grateful to take a team Doctor with us (who luckily had very little to do), and extremely thankful for the wonderful group of parent helpers, and parents and whanau who travelled down to support us. Big thanks to Rochelle and Bevan for all your hard working in organising and co-ordinating the trip. Great big thanks to our wonderful coaches Ritchie and Pouvi. Our biggest thanks goes to our players who all had a great time and created some great Napier Old Boys Marist memories.

THAT – A Forty Years Ago – FLASHBACK – 1982
– Former Marist Senior and Magpie hooker Mike O’Malley took over the helm as club chairman. The club’s oldest member Mr Paul Murphy who played for the Marist Senior team away back in 1912, was awarded life membership of the club. Club stalwart and life member Jim O’Rourke passed away suddenly. The Club’s executive took umbrage at comments by the HBRU Chairman Eddie Watts that traditional Easter tournaments should be phased out to make way for more club rugby. Our club hosted and organised an internal tour with games against affiliates vs Auckland Marist, Wellington MSP and our own Under 21’s under lights at McLean Park for a Japanese Club XV’s internal Tour – The Tomakomai team from Napier’s sister city Hokkaido was billeted by club members during their three day stop-over in the Bay and they played and lost to our youth XV 51-15. It was a great experience for our players and Club.
The 1982 Spillane tournament was hosted by Auckland and for the first time the Napier team flew to the tournament. The air passage didn’t do Napier any favours as the opening match against Auckland was lost 6-17 and in Mondays promotion relegation clash a second loss to Marist St Pats 6-19. Not quite the outcome the club wanted especially due to the fact that the 1983 tournament is be hosted by Napier. The Tournament XV saw only one Napier player selected, halfback Jock McCarroll. Incidently also in the team was current Sevens guru Gordon Teitjens (Rotorua St Michaels Marist).
Also in 1982 the club and Senior team hosted it’s first ‘real irish’ player in the form of London Irish lock Gene McCarthy. A hard nosed physical player, McCarthy soon ‘tidied up’ any foul play from some of the habitual offending players and clubs around at the time. Nothing was better than to see him shape up against local ‘bullies’ and better still, see him in action in toe to toe punch-ups for which he rapidly gained respect from opponents. At the end of the club season Marist and Hawkes Bay utility back Simon O’Dowd returned to England to play with the renowned ‘London Irishmen’.
Non-playing member Laurie Uren represented NZ at the Perth hosted ‘World Pie Eating Championship’. For the record he returned home as the winner – consuming a mere 39 pies along the way in one session! We wouldn’t really recommend inviting Laurie around for a snack – that is unless you’re the bakery owner !
The Seniors did everything but – win a trophy. They were beaten finalists in both the Nash Cup and the inaugural McWilliams Maddison Trophy, losing to Taradale in the former and Tamatea the latter. The annual McLean Park derby between Napier HSOB and Marist for the Brother Virgilius Cup saw a convincing 36-6 Marist win.
Meanwhile at the youth end of the club’s membership the Marist flag flew high with Rus Exeter’s Under 19’s and Dave Scott & Pat Benson’s Under 21’s both cleaning up in their respective championships. The U21’s Grand Final resulted in a real close 6-4 win over neighbours Napier HSOB U21’s. Marist U21 coach Pat Benson, who had the season off due to injury, helped out the Seniors in their last few games of the season.
The 1982 Skerries exchange player to Ireland was Greg Primrose. While the club’s NZ Marist Colts rep was Gerald O’Connell on their tour encompassing Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Napier Marist Rugby’s 1982 Sportsman of the Year was – Pat Benson.
THAT with reference to the above Flashback – Michael O’Malley (80) passed away unexpectedly last week and was buried from St Marys Church, Taradale on Friday. Mike, a former Silverstream College old boy, was the Napier Marist RFC chairman in 1982 & 83. He was also a member of the successful Morrie Coady coached Napier Marist Clubs Premier team for whom he regularly shared the hookers role with Mike Richardson, although he also covered other forward positions.

HERE AND THERE with McGoo …….
IN . . . last weekend’s opening round of the Nash Cup there was 294 opoints scored. This comprised of 42 tries, 28 conversions and five penalties.
THE CLASSIC ALL BLACKS . . . have just released their squad for the game against Spain next month. It contains four uncapped players. The teams Ambassador is Dan Carter, Patron Sean Fitzpatrick and will be coached by Tana Umaga. The full squad for the May 21st game at Metropolitano Stadium is:- Chris Masoe, Corey Flynn, Jerome Kaino, Luke Braid, Mike Delany, Nathan Harris, Rudi Wulf, Sam Tuitupou, Luke McAllister, Hosea Gear, Rico Gear, Stephen Donald, Conrad Smith, Jarrod Hoeata, Alby Mathewson, Nick Croswell, Daniel Ramsay and Andre Taylor.
SPARE A THOUGHT . . . for West Indian cricket allrounder Carlos Braithwate. Last weekend he made his debut for English side Knowle and Darridge CC. He took no wickets, out for a golden duck and his car got stolen. What a shit of a day!
THE . . . last time the Chiefs and Waratahs played each other the late Sean Wainui, playing on the left wing, crossed for a Super Rugby record five tries. So it was appropriate that Friday’s fixture against the Tahs saw the Chiefs wingers dot down for six tries. Four of them to the Hawke’s Bay Magpies speedster Jonah Lowe.
AND NOW . . . a bit of a laugh. The Irish have solved their own fuel problems by importing 50 million tonnes of sand from the Arabs and they’re going to drill for their own oil!
Cheers McGoo

The Leprauchan Comments
On their sixtieth anniversary Sean and Mary took a walk back to their old Dublin high school, holding hands all the way. The school building was not locked, so they entered, and wandered around the corridors and classroom, reminiscing about their happy school days together.
On their way back home, an armoured car passed them, and a bag fell out, practically landing at their feet. Mary quickly picked it up, but not being sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money. The bag contained €50,000!
Sean said, “We have to give it back.”
Mary said, “Finders keepers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it up in their attic.
The next day, two police detectives were canvassing the neighbourhood looking for the money and knocked on their door.
“Pardon me”, the detective said, “but did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?”
Mary said, “No.”
Sean said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.”
Mary said, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.” The detectives question Sean, “Tell us the story from the beginning.” Sean began, “Well, when Mary and I were walking home from school yesterday…”
The first detective turns to his partner and says, “We’re outta here.”
When I die, I want to pass away like Grandpa Murphy, who died peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
