2023 Ray White NASH CUP
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 52 – 10 CLIVE Premiers
Today was a huge day for the boys for 3 reasons – 1 the news of Gus Meech, an ex NHSOB player passing during the past week. 2 Pouvi Falialofa 150th for the Premier side and 3 we needed to get the green machine back on a winning track.
We started strongly and had most of the ball and in the 7th min Mitchell Gibson crossed the line for a strong try. Jonty added the conversion. 0 -7. We fell off a few tackles and Clive exposed us outwide and they scored straight back. 5 -7. The rest of the first half was all one way traffic with tries to Kere Penitito, Josh Gimblett, Josh McIntyre and a 2nd one to Mitch Gibson. Jonty Stewart kicked all the conversions. Up at halftime 5 -35. Although we were up at the break we were still letting ourselves down when we attacked in their 22 with 6 dropped balls at important times.
The 2nd half started well and Player of the Day prop forward Johnny Faleiva score a great try as he had a huge game as the metre-eater and ran well and into space proving hard to put down. Jonty added the conversion. From here ill discipline from Clive made it hard to stick to our structure. However in the 58th min Bain Champion found some space with no one in front of him 60 metres to run only to get mowed down from behind 5 metre from the line, luckily Jonty Stewart was on hand to cross for a great try.
We had to wait until the 71st min before Kere Penitito scored his 2nd and the last for the day. Kere had a strong game and was very hard to stop and looked good on his feet and starting to show why he is in the HB academy. Nic Ennor had a strong game at lock and was great to see him start his 1st competition match. Other strong games came from Jonty Stewart who is really developing and kicking very well. Dylan Homan was also strong off the bench. As well it was great to see josh Gimblett back after a couple of weeks off as he had a strong game too. A great day out at Farndon Park winning 52 -10. We are really looking forward to our home game next week which seems such a long time since we were on our home track against a tough MAC team.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Reserve 34 – 15 HAVELOCK NORTH Reserve
The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves headed out to Anderson Park to take on Havelock North on their club day. For the third consecutive game we let the opposition cross our line within the first 5 minutes. We struck back soon after with a try to Cory Wilson, then followed a period of handling errors, giving away penalties and not holding onto the ball. Havelock scored again after 25 minutes, again we struck right back with a try to Te Rima Whenuaroa before Havelock closed the half with another 5 pointer. A frustrating first half saw us down 10-15 at the break.
We held onto the ball better in the second 40 and played the game in the right half. It took a while before Dylan Kiwara crossed and soon after no one was stopping a charging Laulu Taa 5 meters out from the line after a quick penalty tap. The Havelock forwards started to tire and we crossed twice more through a nice grubber and chase from Migao Lauano and another bolstering run from big Ali Alivale. Final score was 34-15 but the feel is we still haven’t played our best footy. The boys will have a rest this coming Saturday as Maraenui have defaulted, and with maximum points in our 4 games to date we will go into the town grade final the following week.
Tries: Cory Wilson, Te Rima Whenuaroa, Dylan Kiwara, Laulu Taa, Migao Lauano, Ali Alivale. Conv. Pierre Salamagnou (2)

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Thirds 33 – 41 MARAENUI Thirds
Turning out to be a fine afternoon NOBM 3rds played Maraenui. We went out with great intent of winning, but yet again numbers to the breakdown and tackling let us down. This confirms that training on a Thursday is a must !
Half time saw us within reach at 29-19. Two quick tries in the second half saw a win in our sights, however it was not to be. Try scorers for NOBM – Adam, Ali, Martin, Dan, Ginge. Conversions – Dan

Points – 16 Havelock North, 15 Clive, Taradale, 10 Pirates, Maraenui, 6 Tamatea, Flaxmere, 2 NOBM, 1 Bridge Pa
Arthur Brown Cup
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST COLTS 0 – 69 TARADALE COLTS
After having good numbers at training and a positive start to the game the boys got their heads down after a couple of quick tries against them. Halftime came round and we were down 33-0.
2nd half was much the same as the 1st however a couple boys stuck it out and showed some true character. Final score 69-0 and was disappointing to see a couple boys just walk off before full time and give up on their team.
Onwards and upwards from here boys.

THAT the first live telecast of a representative match in New Zealand was from Napier’s McLean Park ? It was a trial coverage back on 26 August 1972 of the touring Australian team in their fixture against Hawkes Bay prior to the third test against the All Blacks at Eden Park. The result of the game was a narrow 15-14 win to the Hawkes Bay. And incidently the result of the Eden Park test on 13 September 1972 saw the All Blacks beating the Wallabies 38-3.
Happy Birthday
THAT a real milestone was achieved yesterday when Life Member Morrie McGill celebrated his 97th Birthday.

Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
THIS COULD . . . only happen in Ireland. Competitors in last weekend’s Great Ireland Run have been informed the 10km race that included the Irish 10k Road Championship was short. Athletics Ireland have confirmed that the course was only 8.5km! Their initial explanation being that it was due to unforeseen circumstances. Spare thought for all the competitors that had short lived PBs.
ONE OF OUR . . . Marist affiliated clubs in Aussie is celebrating having two of their players selected for the Junior Wallabies camp on 23rd April. Joondalup RFC’s Marley Pearce and Ryan McGloin will be joined at the camp by two other Western Australia players.
FOLLOWING . . . five rounds of the Nash Cup top clubs try wise are:- Taradale 32, Tech 28, NOBM 24, Pirates and Central 21. The top three individual points scorers are:- Jordon Soli (CHB) 56, Sheridan Rangihuna (NTOB) 45, Clive’s Tianua Poto on 36. Top try scorer is Sam Jones from Central with 7. Last Saturday there were 46 tries scored, 29 conversions and four penalties.
TOP . . . three points scorers for the Green Machine so far this season are Jonty Stewart 32, The Wairoa Whiz Paorian Manuel-Harmon 15 and Penalty Tries 14. Seven players have 10 points and five has 5 points.
AN IRISHMAN . . walks into a bar in Toronto and orders a drink. The bartender, noticing his accent, asks him “What brings you to Canada?” The Irishman says’ so I thought I’d give it a shot.” “Well, I was in a pub in Dublin and the coaster under my glass said ‘Drink Canada Dry’, so I thought I’d give it a shot.”
Cheers McGoo

The Leprauchan Comments
Tim O’Rourke was walking his Irish Setter in the country side. He picked up a stick and threw it, the dog went and retrieved it and brought it back. Tim then threw it in a different direction and the dog once again went and retrieved it and brought it back. Tim then threw it in another direction and it landed in a small lake. The dog went down to the water’s edge, walked across the water, picked up the stick and brought it back. Well, Tim was astounded.
He couldn’t believe what he had seen and threw stick in the lake again, and the dog once again walked across the water to bring the stick back.
As he went into town, he promised that he would show his dog’s wonderful new trick to the first person he came across. Once in town the first person the dog owner came across was the town drunk Declan Dunphy.
Tim dragged Declan to the lake to show him what his dog could do. Once again, the dog owner threw the stick into the small lake and the dog went to the water’s edge, walked across the water, picked up the stick and brought it back to it’s owner.
Once the drunk saw that, he turned to the dog owner and said;”Why that’s great, mister! But when are you going to teach your dog how to swim?”
A man was on a walking holiday in Ireland. He became thirsty so decided to ask at a home for something to drink. The lady of the house invited him in and served him a bowl of soup by the fire. There was a wee pig running around the kitchen, running up to the visitor and giving him a great deal of attention. The visitor commented that he had never seen a pig this friendly. The housewife replied: “Ah, he’s not that friendly. That’s his bowl you’re using.”
It was Paddy and Seamus giving the motorcycle a ride on a brisk autumn day. After a wee bit, Paddy who was sitt’n behind Seamus on the bike began to holler …”Seamus … Seamus … the wind is cutt’n me chest out!” “Well, Paddy my lad,” said Seamus, “why don’t you take your jacket off and turn it from front to back … that’ll block the wind for you.”
So Paddy took Seamus’ advice and turned his jacket from front to back and got back on the bike and the two of them were off down the road again.
After a bit, Seamus turned to talk to Paddy and was horrified to see that Paddy was not there.
Seamus immediately turned the bike around and retraced their route. When after a short time he came to a turn and saw a bunch of farmers standing around Paddy who was sitting on the ground. “T’anks be to heaven, is he alright?” Seamus hailed to the farmers.
“Well,” said one of the farmers, ” he was alright when we found him here .. but since we turned his head back to front .. he hasn’t said a word since!”
