“Team up with a Winning Club in 2022”
Why would you play for Old Boys Marist ?

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 59 – 14 PIRATES Premier
With the passing of NHSOB and Hawkes Bay player in the 1970s Jeff Marin and a few of the boys away and resting after a hard game on Monday night, the motivation to get the W was clear. We started well on attack and after 4 minutes livewire Hooker Reilly Hannan scored a good try converted by Bain Champion. We allowed Pirates to hit straight back through poor defence but a well deserved converted try 7 -7. We went straight back on attack with a great try to Hannon Brighouse and conversion by Bain Champion. A soft try through or poor defence meant after 23 mins we were tied up at 14 all.
From here on the boys stepped it up and a well worked try to James Mitchell taking his opportunity on the wing 19-14. Now we were hanging onto ball and just before halftime player of the day Boris Van Bruchem scored a great try, converted by Bain Champion. Haltime 26-14
Some stern and direct words from Coach Edwin Meachan and stand in assistant coach Sam McNicol at halftime meant a huge step up for the boys. Straight away a great try to Josh McIntyre and conversion to Bain Champion. 33-14. Four minutes later another great forward try to lock Ziah Taumoepeau, who has been a great find to the club in the off-season. Bain Champion converted Ziah’s try to take the scoreline out to 40-14. In the 59th minute Josh McIntyre showed why he is top try scorer in the Hawkes Bay premier comp so far this year with a ton of pace down the left wing to make it 45-14.
The bench was then let loose and made an impacted straight away with a try to Pouvi Fatialofa, who is like a good red wine and gets better with age. Bain Champion added the conversion to take the scoreline to 52 -14. Bain Champion then has a turn and with slick foot work and a turn of pace scored a great try and added the conversion to make the fulltime scoreline 59-14.
A great team and club performance with two NOBM colts players Nick Ennor and Panini Timu getting a run and showing their talents. With the bye next week we look forward to seeing you all on the 28th May at home against Aotea from Dannevirke.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER Reserve 45 – 10 ESKVIEW
The Richard Kepka NOBM Premier Reserves were challenged for the Peter Macan Memorial trophy by a classic Eskview team full of big ball-runners. They were out early warming up while we had a few difficulties with captain Andrew Robinson bowing out with an achilles strain and forcing some rearrangements to our line-up. We started off kicking into the wind and the sun and Eskview showed their determination to take the trophy off our hands with strong runs from their midfield, but we defended their attacked well and counterattacked round the edges scoring 3 early tries to Cory, Sami and Cory again. With more storming runs from them and fortitude shown by us, Eskview finally managed to break our line for a try and things started to heat up, Eskview getting a little talking to from the referee. Along with a failing line-out, we started applying the pressure to Eskview up the middle to create space out wide for new winger Luke Foster to dot down late in the first half. Our opponents managed to regroup and muscled over for a last try to end the first half.
The second forty started like a grudge match with both sides making ground and strong tackles but little real advantage as neither team scored for a physically demanding first 20 minutes. The pressure mounted for both teams but eventually it broke in our favour, with the final 20 punctuated with 2 tries to fullback Kitz and Cory rounding out his hat trick with a third. Many thanks to the thirds management for allowing us to poach this young talent. Despite the referee letting the game run fairly unstructured, our staunch defence held strong and kept Eskview scoreless in the 2nd forty. Special mentions to experienced Willie Live for a steadfast first 80 minutes at prop and young Brendan Carrol for his first game playing general at 10 and winning the Eskview after match scull.
The winning result sees the Peter Macan Memorial trophy returning to our clubrooms for another year.

Havelock North 29-20 Tech : Bridge Pa 29-24 MAC : Waipawa Country United 15-13 CHB Country Bye – Otane
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST THIRDS 24 – 34 BRIDGE PA
We thought this was going to be a win for our side, especially when Bridge Pa started the game with only 13 players and we had a full team of 22.
And I think the players subconsciously thought it would be an easy win for us with our extra 9 players giving us an edge with rolling subs under game on.
We were ahead 17 – 12 at half time, but then the Bridge Pa cavalry arrived in the form of players from their seconds team and for most of the second half they had a full team of 15.
And it became a much harder game than we were expecting at the start of the game.
We still had opportunities to win the game, but we were impatient when we had possession and a large number of handling errors didn’t help either. We have a bye next weekend so we have an extra week to work on areas that need improvement.

Maraenui 14-54 Havelock North : Flaxmere 24-7 Taradale : Pirates 19-3 MAC : Clive 76-21 YMP
NOBM COLTS 12 – 43 TARADALE COLTS
After a promising week at training with good numbers we were feeling that this would be our week against a Taradale side who hadn’t had a win all season.
Unfortunately the game plan was ignored as Taradale took it to us keeping us pinned in our 22 for long periods of the game. Mistakes and poor discipline didn’t help.
A tune up from the coaches at halftime saw the team start to show what they are capable of but Taradale kept the upper hand and came away deserved winners
Our scrum was dominant and the lineout started to function but we just couldn’t get momentum. Plenty to work on this week.

DID YOU KNOW
HB Today pic
THAT former NOBM Premier Sam McNicol has recently taken up a new role with one of our feeder secondary schools, St Johns College as their new Rugby Institute coach. Early retirement due to injury sees the former Chiefs and Hawkes Bay player, the Hawkes Bay Secondary Schools Development Officer.
The wing/centre had played 30 first class games prior to premature injury taking out of the representative playing lineups. For the record his playing career saw him turn out for the 2015 Hurricanes (10), Wellington (4), 2016 Chiefs (15), 2017 Hawkes Bay (5). “Personally, I think a lot of my development as a rugby player happened during my years at Napier Boys High secondary school. That’s probably where I made the most improvements to then move onto a professional level.” On his new role he says the rugby programme at St John’s College is in really good stead.
“My goal for these boys once they finish through the Under 15’s and institute grades is to be capable and really promising young First XV players who can represent the school well.” However, he believes their attitude off the field is just as important to achieving success on the field. “It’s about being really diligent, having a good work ethic, and an open mind, and being willing to listen, take constructive criticism and move forward with it.” NOBM members wish Sam all the best with his new position and for the betterment of rugby in our Hawkes Bay province.
THAT an important message to all players. – There is still time to make 2022 the year you bring along a new player to your teams training. We are always on the lookout for new talent as we may still have vacancies in our teams….. Invite your mates to ‘Team up with the Greens’ in 2022.
THAT We have just had confirmation that the popular winter season Thursday Evening Roasts (alternatively Roast Beef / Pork) have now kicked-off again @ only $15 each from 7pm – with bar open from 6.45pm.

The Leprauchan Comments
“Paddy,” the boss said, “I happen to know that the reason you didn’t come to work yesterday was that you were out playing golf.”
“That’s a rotten lie!” Paddy protested. “And I have the fish to prove it!”
A Mexican, an Italian and our Irishman, Paddy, were doing construction work upon scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch when the Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, “Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time for lunch I’m going to jump off this building.”
The Italian opened his lunch box and said, “Pasta again! If I get pasta one more time, I’m jumping too.”
And Paddy said, “Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time, I’m going to jump off with you.”
Well – The next day, the Mexican opened his lunch box, saw a burrito; and jumped to his death. The Italian opened his lunch box, saw the pasta, and jumped to his death too. Paddy, opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and also jumped to his death.
At their funerals the Mexican’s wife wept and said, “I could have given him tacos, or enchiladas!
I didn’t realize he hated burritos so much.” The Italian’s wife cried, “If I had only known how tired of pasta he was,
I would have given him meatballs”. Irishman’s wife said, “Don’t look at me. Paddy packed his own lunches.”
After a row at the local pub a badly injured man was laying on the floor gushing blood. Two rookie paramedics, Paddy and Mick, are the first responders and rush to his side.
“Saints preserve us, there’s so much blood, what do we do?” says Paddy with a panicked look on his face.
“I don’t know, I’ve never done this in practice before, I’ve only ever went by the book.” Mick replies.
“Well, what does it say in the book!?” asks Paddy. “It says here to apply pressure.”
“OK” says Paddy as he turns to his patient and demandingly yells, “Mate, if you don’t stop bleeding, you’re gonna die.”
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
