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.

We have certainly appreciated your generous Support over the past seasons
and look forward to you hopefully supporting us once again in 2023
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DID YOU KNOW
THAT If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, then you’re lucky enough……
THAT it’s important to respect both your teammates and your opponents. Friendships can make a victory last forever.
THAT an important message to all players. – Invite your mates to ‘Team up with the Greens’ in 2023.
THAT Your loyal backing as in past seasons with our various funding options is always awaiting YOUR SUPPORT. So we can again run our Club in a manner we can all be proud of.
IRISH LOGIC – There’s nothing so bad that couldn’t be worse
THAT Paddy stood at the bar getting mildly inebriated trying to work out why his sister has four brothers and he has only three…. !
VS THAT Just caught the annual clash between two of the top Wellington college rugby schools during the past week – St Pats Town and St Pats Silverstream. The televised 1st XV’s match played last Wednesday afternoon which was hosted in Wellington at St Patricks College. And of the game, well the Hutt Valley based XV who led 13-7 at the forty minute mark were unable to maintain this advantage in the final forty and eventually succumbed to their ‘town’ catholic college rivals in the second half going down 19-13 at the final whistle. This win was the ‘town’ schools first between the two rivals since their 125th Jubilee in 2010.
With a number of our Napier OBM clubs present and recent players who are old boys of these two Wellington secondary schools it was certainly of interest especially being reminded of the intense rivalry between both ‘camps’. This certainly hasn’t changed since my years as a boarder out at Silverstream in the distant past. And long may it last…… Amen
THAT for your Info – the NZ Marist website – http://www.maristrugby.org.nz/Home-
THAT – Reminder that all payments for – Non Player Subs – Player Subs – Merchandise (dress gear) – to be paid to >>> Payments to – SBS Bank – account – 03 1355 0760476 00 Please include your Name and Category (above) as a reference
THAT an important message to all players. – Make 2023 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 into the future for when we kick-off and about to commence our 2023 season.
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. In 2023 we will have vacancies in all grades from Colts through to Premiers so new players will always be Welcome. Remind them to >>>
“Team up with the ‘GREEN MACHINE’ again in 2023 – New Players are always WELCOME
++++ Life is not waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain….
THEY SAID IT.
“There’s no doubt I’m under pressure. But I’m always under pressure … it doesn’t change the fact that as an All Blacks coach you live with that all the time. Does it hurt? Yes it does. But the key thing for me is ensuring we’ve got robust processes to make sure we have the right people in there … We’re in this as one.”
Ian Foster speaks out.
“At the darkest of times, self belief and utter determination are the areas to focus on. There will always be those whose desire to lead and inspire will attract them to these kinds of roles. My advice is, just don’t read social media.”
John Key
“I understand the frustration.”
Beleaguered All Blacks head coach Ian Foster has issued a message to disenchanted All Blacks fans in the wake of last week’s series defeat to Ireland.
“I’ve got a lot of love for Fozzie…..to see a lot of the bad stuff around him and Sam Cane…..it’s ridiculous how ruthless it’s been.”
All Black halfback Aaron Smith speaks up about the unfair comments that had been circulating about AB coach Ian Foster following the series loss against Ireland.
“We’re a wounded All Black team and we’ve got a job to do over there and we actually want to play a game that New Zealanders are proud of.”
Coach Ian Foster lays it on the line.

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!”
O’Malley is leaving his favourite bar when he is run over by a bus. He gets to the gates of heaven and St Peter tells him he cannot enter unless he passes a test. O’Malley agrees to try as he never was the brightest bulb in the box.
St Peter decides to go easy on him. “What has five fingers and is made of black leather?” he asks.
O’Malley scratches his head, thinks hard and finally gives up.
“It’s a glove,” says St Peter. “Let’s try again. What has 10 fingers and is made of black leather?”
O’Malley is clearly stumped. After a few minutes of pacing in a circle and scratching his head, he gives up.
“Why, it’s TWO gloves – don’t you see? Ten fingers, black leather?” says St. Peter, amazed.
Being in a generous mood, St Peter decides to give O’Malley one final chance and thinks of an even easier question.
“Okay. Who is the patron saint of Ireland?” he asks, thinking surely O’Malley can’t miss this.
“It wouldn’t be three gloves, would it?” says O’Malley.
An Irishman walks into a railway station and presents himself at the ticket counter.
“I’d like a return ticket,” he says.
“Where to?”
“To here!” says the Irishman.
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
