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.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premier 38 – 29 HAVELOCK NORTH Premier
Round four of the 2022 Premier Rugby saw the boys take on an improving and unbeaten Havelock North side. Coming off last week’s loss to Tech, the boys wanted a strong start and obliged and even before most supporters had taken their seats with skipper Will Tremain barging his way over the chalk. With the Jonty Stewart adding the conversion making it 7-0 inside the opening 2 minutes. From there Havelock North worked their way into the game and relished the sideline to sideline style of the game and feeding off the boys mistakes. From these mistakes Havelock capitalised and crossed for 3 unanswered tries. A nice break out try finished out wide by winger Kere Penitito reduced the score line to 17-12 at the break.
Frustrated at half time the coaches went to town with the messaging was around the boys doing the basics well, being physical and fronting up in the collisions space.
The second half started with free flowing rugby with both teams crossing for tries before the boys strung together a number of phases with Josh Mcintyre crossing for his second in the left hand corner. With Jonty’s conversion the NOBM side were back in front by 2 and after some slick hands Petro Bezanilla used his strength to cross underneath the bar. This pushed the scoreline out to a comfortable 31 -22 with 20 to go before Boris Van Bruchem crossed to make the game safe. Havelock had the last say scoring two unanswered tries to close the score line up to 38-29.
Coach turned player Ellery Wilson wound back the clock to play 80 minutes and keep the boys on the straight and narrow from halfback – for this he gave himself player of day honours. It was backed up by Boris who work hard all day in the tight while fullback Paoraian Manuel- Harman was strong at the back. Special mentioned must also go to Jonty Stewart for his efforts off the tee and in general play and Pedro who had numerous strong carry’s.
Thank you to all our fans who came out to watch a good game of footy under blue skies. See you at Pirates next week.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER Reserve 19 – 17 MARAENUI
A much anticipated game against close rivals Maraenui has always delivered some bruising tight games over the years and todays game didn’t disappoint. The Chris Halas coached NOBM started the arm wrestle of the 1st half well dominating in territory and possession for a lot of the half without putting any points on the board. It wasn’t until the 30th minute when young colts player Panini Timu applied some pressure on the Nui clearance kicker and getting a charge down and regathering to dot down. Captain Hamiora Miringorangi slotting over the much needed conversion. This sparked the Nui boys into action and a great try to the #13 followed 2 minutes later. 7 – 5. Nearing the end of the 1st half when Panini finished off a slick move to score. 12 to 5 at half time.
The 2nd half had the Maraenui #13 dotting down off the kickoff getting his 2nd try which was converted to bring the scores level. NOBM once again camped on the Maraenui line and a nice lineout drive resulted in Levi Rahui scoring off a driving maul and Hamiora slog spiralled the conversion over. With 20 minutes to go NOBM continued there positive play going for the 7 pointers with a few penalties kicked to the corner. Maraenui somehow legally stopped everything that was thrown at them. Maraenui’s #13 got his hattrick after a wayward pass to pick up and sprint 70 meters to score by the posts. The kick was missed and that’s where the points scoring ended. A 19 to 17 hard earned win. Good to see NOBM donating in the set pieces and a number of game line hit ups from Te Rima getting the lads on the front foot. Evergreen Hamiora shining off the boot with some nice kicks in general play and Willy Meads defence was outstanding. An awesome team effort from all 22 players involved.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST THIRDS 8 – 15 TAMATEA
We are getting closer to our first win of the season. We had opportunities to win this game but couldn’t quite put it together.
Probably the highlight was right on full-time when Tamatea were trying to score a late try and the boys put their bodies on the line to prevent a try being scored. Which proved even though we had no chance of winning, the commitment and determination were admirable.
There was no ref allocated for our game and Tamatea couldn’t provide an AR but we managed to talk Jim Yeoman out of retirement so that we could have a competition game. So a special thanks to our referee Jim Yeoman.

NOBM Colts – No game
OPINION – No Colts games this week for teams other than the two finalists HRS v Clive. Considering all the game time that players have missed out on over the past couple of seasons through Covid restrictions etc, it’s a pity that optional games could not have been arranged for this week for the remaining teams. I bet there are a lot of our younger players who would relish the opportunity to ‘get out there’ and compete against one another and also coaches who would appreciate the time they would have to work on their teams future game plans. Too late this week but certainly something that should rectified in future, after all it is our winter (what winter?) season sport. Just a thought ! Ed

HERE AND THERE with McGoo ……. THAT IN ROUND . . . three of the Nash Cup last weekend there were 52 tries scored, 29 conversions and four penalties kicked. So far this season there’s been 891 points scored from 15 matches.
WELL . . . that didn’t last long! After praising up Green Machine skipper Ricky Hayes for thanking the supporters firstly in his postmatch speech against Clive, next home game us supporters never rated a mention. Come on please, a little goes along way! As I write this on a Saturday morning I’ll be waiting with anticipation following this arvos match against the villagers from Havelock North.
THIS . . . just sensational. US teenager Erriyon Knighton last weekend smashed Usain Bolt’s U20 world Record for 200m in a meet in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The 18 year Knighton not only obliterated Bolt’s 19.93 from the record books, he became the fourth fastest man in history over 200m with his 19.49 run. This was the fastest 200m run on the planet since the 2012 London Olympics. The only guys in front of him are Yohan Blake, Michael Johnson (not our MJ) and of course Usain Bolt with his WR 19.19 time. Look out next week and I’ll go to the other end of the spectrum running wise.
MEANWHILE . . . across the ditch my eldest grandson was back in action for the winter code season. Saturday his Palmyra Under 10s side went down 5-20, no tries. Then on Sunday he kicked two goals as his AFL side won it’s first game of the season.
AND NOW . . . a bit of a laugh. Two guys sitting in a bar having a conversation “Women say that giving birth is way more painful than a bloke getting kicked in the bollocks, . . . here is proof they are wrong, . . . a year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, ‘It’d be nice to have another baby’ . . . you never hear a bloke say, ‘I wouldn’t mind another kick in the bollocks!” . . . case closed.
Cheers McGoo
THAT of recent weeks of the 2022 Super Rugby competition with some games on their own patch several the Australian sides have seemed to have grown another leg. The Aussies sent a warning to New Zealand franchises with Waratahs 24-21 win over Crusaders, the Brumbies 42-25 victory against the Hurricanes and the Rebels 26-22 edging out. Maybe it’s the shakeup that our trans- Tasman neighbours needed and it has certainly been a wake-up call to our own kiwi XV’s and has sent their coaching teams scurrying back to their drawing boards.
THAT Your Support as in past seasons with our various funding options is awaiting YOUR SUPPORT once again in 2022. So we can again run our Club in a manner we can be proud of.
IRISH LOGIC – We don’t stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing…
THAT an important message to all players. – Make 2022 the year you introduce a new player to our Club. We are always on the lookout for new talent as we will have vacancies in all teams….. Invite your friends to ‘Team up with the Greens’ so we can have greater depth in numbers now we have kicked off the 2022 season.
THAT For your Info – the NZ Marist website – http://www.maristrugby.org.nz/Home-
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 they will always be Welcome. Remind them to >
“Team up with the ‘GREEN MACHINE’ in 2022 – New Players are always WELCOME
++++ Know that anything is possible. We are our only limitation.
THEY SAID IT
“I like losing in some ways…… when we lose we can learn so much more from it. You’re not complacent, you’re always trying to find ways to be better. You’re always to be better.”
Black Ferns Sevens superstar Portia Woodman.
“I still think we’re a step or two behind, but we’re catching up.”
Waratahs defense coach Jason Gilmore on his sides 24-21 win against the Crusaders last weekend.
“When have you’re getting consistency of wins then that’s when you can say the Aussie teams are catching up, have caught up, and are doing well.”
Jason Gilmore continues.

The Leprauchan Comments
Old Paddy Murphy took his wife to the hospital to have a baby. After waiting for a while in the waiting area, Paddy picked up the hospital house phone, called the doctor and said,
“Hello, this is Mr. Murphy. What’s the news on Mrs. Murphy?”
The doctor answered,
“You are the father of a fine baby boy, but hold on because it’s not all over yet.”
After about a half hour, Paddy called the doctor back and asked, “Hello, this is Mr. Murphy. What’s the news on Mrs. Murphy?”
The doctor answered,
“You’re the father of twins, a boy and a girl, but hold on because it’s not all over yet.”
After another half hour, Paddy called back and asked,
“Hello, this is Mr. Murphy, what’s the news?” The doctor answered, “You’re the father of triplets — two boys and a girl. It’s not all over yet, but it’s slowing down, so why don’t you go get something to eat; I’ll be here all night.”
So Paddy went to a pub and got himself six shots of good Irish whiskey which he washed down with six pints of Guinness. He then went over to the phone, somewhat unsteadily, and called the doctor at the hospital — or thought he did. Actually, he misdialled, and dialed the local cricket club. When the person answered, Paddy asked,
“Hello, this is Mr. Murphy, what’s the news?”
The person replied,
“All out for a hundred and one, and the last one out was a duck.”
Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink. Quinn thinks he’s very lucky because his own wife makes him walk.
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
