“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
   41 – 29  TAMATEA

With Covid and injuries still affecting our ability to put a full strength team on the field at Bill Mathewson Park we wanted to start well and start well we did after 4 minutes strong lock Ziah Taumoepeau crossed the line which Jonty converted. 7 – nil.    One minute later Kere Penitito crossed the line out wide for a great well worked team try.  12-nil.  It wasn’t long before Kere was in for his 2nd try of the afternoon in the 14th minute and it was now 17- nil.

It was at this point our boys took their foot off the throttle and allowed a determined Tamatea team back into the game as immediately they scored a good try. 7 -17.  Apart from Jonty Stewarts try in the 30th min we fell off tackles and played very much as individuals.  Half time saw NOBM 22-12 up.

A few stern words and from coach on the day Sam McNicol and we looked good in stages with a quick couple of tries to leading competition try scorer Josh McIntyre and as always up for a meat pie Ricky Hayes in the 53rd minute – NOBM 34 Tamatea 17.  We continued to allow Tamatea back in the game and although a new Tamatea didn’t look like winning this we allowed them to play and look good which was frustrating at times.  Our final try was to always improving prop Pulea Faleiva, with the trusty boot of Bain Champion adding the last conversion.  Final Score 41 – 29.

Every team plays one of those games a season where you just have to flush it and move on and this was that game.  We have to now refocus and look forward to next week when we encounter our NZ Marist affiliates Hastings Rugby & Sports.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST PREMIER Reserve  78 – 15  PIRATES

Coming off a good win against Maraenui last week and getting into the 2nd half of the competition with 4 pool games left, the Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves faced off with a Pirates team that has been struggling for number and form all season. Things looked dire for the opposition 15 minutes from kick-off with only 13 players showing up but they managed to field a team come game start.

We started off with a hiss and a roar, running in 2 tries to star wing (no poaching please) Luke Foster and another by OBM club veteran Terry Marsh.  The score didn’t reflect the effort being shown through the match as it was back and forwards up the middle but our outside backs working hard and showing why they’ve been successful all season.  Pirates struck back with a try but we quickly retaliated with one of our own,  Levi playing at No.8 this week finding himself with no opposition to run at had to run over the try line.  What followed was a bit of ill-discipline and fiery words, Kitz’ high shot earning a yellow card that was lucky to not be red, Pirates number No.8’s yellow for a swinging arm on ‘softy’ Kurt Chambers and Levi getting the card and his penalty turned over for a bit of argy-bargy.  Tempera seemed to cool for a bit so Terry took his opportunity to push over for another try to close off the first half.

 

The second forty started much like the first, an early try for Terry’s hat trick, followed by 2 more from Mandela Sene and Brendan Carrol.  Pirates kept up some positive play despite leaking points and kept running hard at us but defence from guys like Willie Mead, Ryan Murphy and Caleb Lee kept them from amassing any points.  Capitalising off getting the ball out wide the other wing Cory Wilson dotted down for a couple along with colts stand-in Fafita for another before fatigue started setting in and both teams making some errors. Pirates made a late rally, coming back with 2 tries while Luke completed his hat trick to bring a dominant performance to an end 78-15.

DID YOU KNOW

   THAT an update on the 47th annual NZ Marist Colts tour which will be held from Friday 29 July through until Sunday 7 August will take place in the Auckland region.  With 4 matches to be played in a short period against high quality opposition, we are looking for players of high calibre and fitness levels.

Each club can nominate up to three players in different positions for this tour so that the selectors have a wide range players/positions to select from.  The 2022 touring team will be coached by former All Black Dion Waller and David McTaggart of Greymouth Marist.

 

THAT there is one thing that will remain a mystery for a long time to come and that is who voted against accepting the Silver Lake deal at last Thursdays NZ Rugby’s Special General Meeting for the stakeholders.  Of the 90 elegible participants it was a case of 89 for and 1 against.  Guess the 1 against will remain a mystery for ever and a day.

THAT    Saturday, 18 June from 09:00   –   NOBM Club Day 2022   –  Juniors through to Seniors   –  All Members and families  WELCOME

     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.  This coming Thursday 5th June will be be Roast Beef on the menu.   Don’t miss out guys….      Just what you need on a cold winters evening after training.
Please Message  –  Tane  0274 916 438  or  Chesna 0204 159 9633  in advance to book your meal.

      THAT   Monday – Tuesday have now gone and we’re still counting on when we will see a report on the HB Premier club rugby from the last weekend.   –   And now its Wednesday 1 June.   The right hand column below is the sum total of the last weekends Premier club rugby reported in the HBT !
We all know the scores but how they were achieved is anyones guess……. ?

Considering how well this was always covered in past seasons, no doubt aided by the dedication of our local sports scribes who would ferret out interesting rugby info on how the games went and players who performed that we all enjoyed.  I’m sure that past editors and a few come to mind, would give this the thumbs down and mutter, “Never in my time would this lack of coverage be tolerated.”      What do you think ?

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.

HERE AND THERE with McGoo   …….   Celebrating 27 years of News, Views and Opinion from the man in the stand . . .

I’M NOT . . . afraid to admit that I’m a bit of a hoarder. In the back of my garage I’ve found some real old rugby gold. Some dating back to the mid 1970’s.  I’ll be including some these bits in the next few weeks. Being Queens birthday weekend in all, here’s a piece from 1977 edition of Rugby News.  Back then a journo named Geoff Sinclair had a column called Odds and Ends – Enjoy

DUNEDIN . . . RFC’S Dunedin Digest reports honorary Vice-President Brother Henery received an award in the Queen’s Birthday honours list. If all the rugby players who have been coached by Brother Henery over the years were to stand shoulder to shoulder they’d pack every bar in Otago! Brother Henery has been a member of the Christian Brothers Order for 51 years. More power to your arm. (1977)

IN ROUND . . . seven of the Nash Cup last weekend there was 273 points scored across the five matches. This comprised of 36 tries scored, 24 conversions and 15 penalties kicked. Top clubs try wise are; Taradale 52, NOBM 46, Tech 39, MAC 33 and Havelock North 30. The 35 Nash Cup games have produced 316 tries in total so far.

THE TOP FIVE . . . point scorers for the Green Machine so far this season are:- Jonty Stewart 55, Josh McIntyre 45,  P. Manuel-Harman 36,  Pouvi Fatialofa 20 and  Bain Champion 19.

LAST WEEK’S . . . 81-20 pasting of Aotea by the Green Machine was the biggest winning margin in Hawke’s Bay Premier rugby this season.  They just eclipsed Taradale’s 74-14 demolition of HRS in round three back in late April.

LOCAL . . .HB Premier rugby referee Mark Johnson travelled away last weekend on exchange to Marlborough.  He got to whistle a top of the table clash between Renwick and Wanderers.  He later commented that the game was fast, positive play and no bullshit from the players or crowd.  For the record Renwick won 24-21.

FORMER . . . Napier Old Boys Marist prop and current HBRU CEO Jay Campbell celebrated his 52nd lap around the sun mid-week.  Saturday just gone the 4th June saw The Leinster Express Mick Dennehy celebrate another lap as well.

SEVENTY . . . years ago lovable Lizzy became our Queen.  So just what was happening in the world of rugby back then?  The biggie that year was the Five Nations Championship. The Boyos from the Valleys took out the Triple Crown and Five Nations title.  It was only Wales 5th ever Five Nations Crown.

NEWS . . . Views and Opinions always welcome.

___________________________

   THAT  former Napier Marist and Hawkes Bay captain Tom Johnson passed away last Wednesday following ill health over recent years.
A motivational leader and fitness advocate he was rated one of New Zealand’s foremost rugby loose forwards in his playing days in the 1960’s that never made the All Blacks.  Tom couldn’t be happier working on PhD thesis that looked at All Black culture over the past 60 years.  “For me, it’s a very stimulating experience,” enthused Johnson.  “A good rugby mate says I’m one of the oldest schoolboys in New Zealand, but I find it an intellectual challenge.  I really enjoy learning and don’t wanted to stop.”
On the New Zealand Rugby Union board for 12 years, he served on the original World Cup committee that promoted the concept of the international tournament.  He also initiated the Golden Oldies sporting movement which has been staging international festivals for thousands of players and supporters and up to several hundred teams since 1979.

He played representative rugby for  Counties – 2 games (1957),  Waikato – 5 games (1958),  Auckland – 14 games (1964) and  Hawke’s Bay – 84 games (1959-68).   And he was also an All Black trialist.   With Tom’s passing there are now only 9 of that great 1966 Hawkes Bay Shield-winning team left.   ‘There’s something about a Magpie……

The management board and members of the Napier Old Boys Marist Club wish to extend to Judy and family our sincere sympathy on the sad loss of a loving husband and father who will always be remembered for his time in the clubs colours.

THEY SAID IT

Worry is a wasted emotion.”
Steve Hansen.

“I was never good enough to play for the All Blacks. I’d give up everything I’ve done in coaching to play one game and most people would say I’m lucky.”
Hansen continues.

“In 2001 I got sacked as All Blacks head coach.  NZ Rugby’s then CEO told me John Mitchell had the job. When I asked him why, he replied: ‘He showed more passion than you.’   I said: ‘Maybe he wears his on the outside;  mine’s on the inside.’’

The Leprauchan Comments
A wealthy couple from Texas were touring Ireland and found themselves in a tiny rural village at lunchtime. The only place serving food was a somewhat rustic looking cafe which in their opinion, had seen better days. Having no other choice, they carefully stepped over the pooch snoozing on the threshold and went inside. As they sat down, the husband frowned as he brushed some crumbs from his chair and his wife did likewise as she wiped the table with her napkin.
The waitress came over and asked if they would like to see a menu. “No thanks,” said the husband. “I’ll just have a cup of tea with cream and sugar.
“I’ll have the same”, his wife said. “And please make sure the cup is clean.” Unphased by the rudeness of the remark, the waitress smiled and marched off into the kitchen. A few minutes later, she was back.
“Two cups of tea,” she announced in her lovely lilting Irish brogue…”And which one of you was it who wanted the clean cup?”


Mick enters the law office of Dewey Cheatem & Howe and asks, “How much do you charge?”
The lawyer replies, “$300 for three questions“.
