Presidents Report 2022
It is my pleasure to present my first Presidents report covering the 2022 rugby year. Once again the format of the competitions were changed and the season shortened due to Covid and information gathered by HBRFU from stakeholders within the club rugby environment. It seems this will impact the competitions and length of the seasons going forward.
For Napier OB Marist Rugby the season also did not include defending the Spillane Cup which was scheduled for Taupo in March, but which had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions. By the time the season commenced we were ready to go with 4 senior teams.
As emphasised by Terry at last year’s AGM meeting, the key objective for 2022 was to ensure we fielded a Colts team again, after not having one in 2021. A huge effort was put in by many people so thank you all for this. Although the results were not the best, the important thing was we had the numbers which also looks good for next year. Our Senior thirds had a better year, achieving a few wins which was great for them. Our senior seconds were once again a very high standard team just missing out on finals spots in the end and our Premier team finished 2nd in the Nash Cup and beaten semi-finalists in the Maddison Trophy. Our club continues to clearly be a Premier Club within Hawkes Bay. Congratulations to all our prize winners this year and especially those players who were selected for further HBRFU representative teams after the club season had finished.
Off the field, as per the Club Management Report, our facilities and social side of the club continue to result in a very pleasurable place to be on a Saturday afternoon and our Financial report shows that we continue to be financially very sound with a solid balance sheet. Income was certainly helped with the hireage fees from the clubrooms being used for Covid vaccinations.
Being amongst our junior teams every Saturday morning, due to several grandkids playing, I can see the ongoing strength of this sector of our club. Thanks to Condy and his junior committee and coaches etc for the huge effort to keep our junior club as strong as any in HB.
Thanks to all the volunteers who make the club what it is. We always need coaches, managers, the lawns mowed, and clubrooms kept clean and tidy. If you think you can help and add value to the management of any part of our club then please come forward. Thanks also to our bar staff and kitchen workers and of course our very essential sponsors. Your contributions are much appreciated.
It was great to see so many past and present players and administrators of the club attend the AJ Gardiner Family Trust fundraiser dinner in October. A great re-union of so many people in support of AJ and his family and we all wish him the best in his continued recovery.
Lastly, my thanks go out to our hard-working board of directors, Terry, Chris, Matt and Wade for bringing it all together. I know with coaches and managers all in place for next year and the pre-season training plan being finalised we all look forward to the 2023 season.
Have a great Xmas.
Regards
Mike O’Connor

DID YOU KNOW
THAT The fellowship of rugby runs deep with many players, no more so that between Ardie Savea and Siya Kolisi. The South African captain is in his hotel room in Genoa before the Springbok’s test against Italy, missing his family and feeling emotional. Down the line, Kolisi offers some words of advice to Savea. “Rugby is not like it used to be brother, We are here to help each other.” They sign off the conversation with a plan to meet for dinner in London on Sunday night. “People have this mentality that we are supposed to hate each other, which is old school,” Savea says. We are best of friends. We will go out to dinner three days before we play each other in a game – but the one guy I want to smash on the field is Siya,” he adds, rolling forwards in his chair as he laughs.
Theirs is a friendship forged through rugby. Last year, Savea 29, and Kolisi, 31 captained against each other when New Zealand and South Africa marked a century of intense and sometimes politically charged rivalry by playing their 100th test. On three occasions, New Zealand ceded to a demand from South Africa’s apartheid regime that no black players should tour their country. “How crazy is this? One hundred games and two people of colour captaining,” Kolisi said, after giving Savea a warm embrace.
THAT to our Sponsors and Members – 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.
THAT an important message to all players. – Invite your workmates, family and friends to ‘Team up with the Greens’ in 2023. You can assure them that we will find a NOBM team that they can fit in with.
THAT We had a good team on paper. Unfortunately the game was played on grass !
IRISH LOGIC – There’s nothing so bad that it couldn’t be worse…
THAT despite playing in the drawn test against England overnight All Black lock Brodie Retallick turned in a cracker of the game in his sides 25 all but disappointing result. It wasn’t the outcome he would have wished for to mark his 100th game for the All Blacks.
THAT an important message to all players. – Make 2023 the year you introduce a New Player or Supporter to our Club. We are always on the lookout for new talent as we will have vacancies in all teams …. Also support with team management as well as on the sidelines. 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

THEY SAID IT
“All of a sudden, someone blows some magic dust, the passes start to click, the lines are a bit sharper, and our finishers come on and improve the game we wanted to play. Sometimes that happens.”
England’s coach Eddie Jones.
“It’s 25-all, there is a lot of drama, some close calls with TMOs but you have to take your hat off to England. I am proud of the first 70. We played the kind of rugby we have been searching for. I thought we dominated for large parts of it. Test matches are tough. I am pleased with our growth, I am pleased with our young guys and where we are going.”
New Zealand head coach Ian Foster.
“I feel I have been put on this earth to be more than just a footy player.”
Ardie Savea
“”We’re in a good space. I like where out game is going.”
All Blacks coach Ian Foster pre England test comment.
“I’ve just had a fairytale ending of Winning the World Cup – that’s more than I could have asked for.”
Black Ferns retiring halfback Kendra Cocksedge
“I played ten injury-free years between the ages of 12 and 22. Then, suddenly, it seemed like I was allergic to the twentieth century.”
Former England national rugby union team scrum half and captain Nigel Melville
“There’s no doubt about it, he’s a big bastard.”
Gavin Hastings Scottish rugby player on Jonah Lomu.
“We’re going to tear those boys apart.”
Message pinned up on changing room wall by England skipper Will Carling before his team ran out to face the All Blacks in the 1995 World Cup semi-final in Cape Town. It took 70 seconds for New Zealand to score their first try as they demolished England 45-29.

The Leprauchan Comments
One day St. Peter had the day off and St. Patrick was left in charge of the pearly gates of Heaven. After a short while an Irishman, a Scotsman and an Englishman are stopped at the gates by St. Patrick, who says, “Sorry, it’s crowded up here, you each need to answer a question correctly, or else you can’t enter Heaven.
St. Patrick looks at the Irishman and asks “What was the name of the famous ocean-liner that sank after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage?” “Oh, that’s easy,” the Irishman replies, “the Titanic.” So St. Patrick welcomes him into Heaven.
Next he asks the Scott, “How many people died on that ship?” “Oooh, that’s tough, but I saw the movie, and I think that it was 1,500.”
St. Patrick steps aside and the Scott walks into Heaven.
Finally, St. Patrick turns to the Englishman and says, “Name them.”
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were boasting about how famous their uncles were.
“My uncle is a bishop,” said The Englishman, “and when he walks down the street, everybody says, ‘Your Lordship.'”
“My uncle is a cardinal,” said The Scotsman, “and when he walks down The street everybody says, ‘Your Eminence.'”
“My uncle,” said The Irishman, “weighs twenty-seven stone, and when he walks down the street everybody says, ‘God Almighty!'”
An Englishman and a Scotsman each had a horse but they couldn’t tell them apart.
So the Englishman cut the tail off his horse and all went well for a while,
but then the Scotsman’s horse lost his tail in an accident so they were back where they started.
Finally, they consulted an Irishman and he said, ‘You two are a right pair of fools.
Anyone can see that the black horse is three inches taller than the white horse.’
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
