2023 Ray White NASH CUP
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 29 – 31 MAC Premiers
Pouvi Fatialofa led the team out onto Tremain Field for his 150th game for the club in front of his own supporters. Well, our first home game for what seems like a long time and against a formidable opposition in MAC. We started well and held on to the ball and started to work our way down the field an put MAC under a lot of pressure – and after 6 mins we scored a great try to Jonty Stewart out wide. From here we fell off the wagon and let MAC back in the game with silly mistakes and the wrong decision making. Haltime 5 -14 to MAC.
The half time Rev up for from coach Edwin Meachen saw our guys come out the way we started with a great try to Johnny Faleiva with Jonty adding the conversion. 12-14. We started playing how we wanted to. To play hang onto the ball and build Pressure. Three minutes later Mitch Gibson was in for a great try and Jonty added the conversion. Back in front 19- 14 and playing well ten minutes later Pedro Bezanilla scored a great try out wide to make it 24 – 14. However never underestimate a hungry MAC team as they justwouldn’t lie down. MAC got a converted try back on us to make it 24 -21 to us. You could tell this was going to be a ding dong and go down to the wire second forty as we continued to let MAC back into the game with their offloads in the tackle. In the 70th min Kade Manuel scored an intercept try to put us out to a 29 – 21 lead. MAC needed to score twice and that’s just what they did. A converted try 5 minutes from time and a penalty for off side to go 29 – 31 up with 3 mins to play. In the dieing seconds of the game we had looked like we got over the ball to steel it off MAC but only for a referring decision to go against us and a card given. MAC with the win 29 -31.

The Victors….
Arthur Brown Cup
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Colts 21 – 50 HAVELOCK NORTH Colts
The boys dug deep to try restore some pride into the jersey. We started slow in the first half however once we were able to retain some possession and implement our game plan the forwards were able to stamp their mark on the game. Strong Carries from Michael Evans and co-managed to get us on the front foot for our first try. We went into the second half down 37-7 after a few mistakes.
In the 2nd half the boys hit the ground running and were able to score 2 more converted tries in a real spirited effort. Forwards really stood up in patches to really dominate and the backs combined well to convert the pressure applied by the forwards.
We managed to actually win the 2nd half and some positives can be taken from that to apply to training and next weeks game.
Final score 50-21 however huge improvement from the whole team this week. On to next week and hopefully carry on our the 2nd half effort.

A Message from our President
The season is now well underway with the club fielding 4 teams all having good numbers. The Premiers are on track for a top 6 finish in the Nash Cup, hence will play in the Maddison Trophy and are building well and have the strength and depth to go all the way. The Premier Reserves are unbeaten so far and contest the 1st round final this coming week. The Senior Thirds are tracking well and had a great win on Saturday and our most important Colts team is competitive and will improve as they get more game time together. They do need a couple of young props so if you know anyone that could join this team then please make contact.
Thanks to all the coaches and managers for the work you are putting in with all our teams so far and for the rest of the season.
The Junior teams all kick off this coming Saturday so thanks and best of luck to all involved.
The clubrooms, being the best in Hawkes Bay, continues to be a great socialising hub every Saturday, so if you are not a regular then please come and see for yourself.
I look forward to the remainder of the season as I’m sure everyone also does.
Regards
Mike O’Connor

HERE and THERE . . .
Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
FOR THOSE . . . don’t know for quite a few seasons now I’ve dropped a poem on social media every weekend preceding our Premiers fixture. Here’s this weekend’s edition:-
Today the Green Machine welcomes MAC to the field of Tremain . . . Our home, our heart, our domain . . .
We’ve been on the road for a wee while . . . Showing some glimpses of form and style . . .
So, in a week where we celebrate with a poppy . . . Let’s put it all together boys and cut out the sloppy . . .
IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA . . . they have a rugby grade called the Community and Championship that runs below the Premier Grade. This comp is very similar to our own Town and Country set up here in Hawke’s Bay. Eight teams play in the Championship Grade and eleven in the Community Grade. Some interesting team names abound in both comps like Arks, Kwinana Wolves and Mandura Pirates in the Championship Grade. However, the best name would have to belong to the Dunsborough and Busselton Dungbeetles, who play in the Community Grade. More on the Dungbeetles is sure to follow.
AFTER . . . six rounds of the Nash Cup top clubs try wise:- Taradale 39, Tech 33, NOBM 32 and Central 31. The top three individual points scorers:- Jordon Soli (CHB) 65, Sheridan Rangihuna (NTOB) 59 and the Green Machine’s Jonty Stewart 49. Top try scorers are Central’s Sam Jones and Kaliava Mocetandra with 8 each and Ikapo Mapu (TRSC) 7. Last Saturday there were 49 tries scored, 32 conversions and four penalties kicked.
ONE OF THE . . . strangest scorebook entries happened in the first test of the 79/80 Ashes series at the Waca in Perth. The Aussie team had fast bowling great Dennis Lillee and in the English side were two players Peter Willey and Graham Dilley. So, when Lillee was dismissed late on the first day, the dismissal was Lillee caught Willey, bowled Dilley.
TOP . . . points scorers for the NOBM Premiers so far this season are Jonty Stewart 49, Mitchell Gibson 20, The Wairoa Whiz Paorian Manuel-Harmon, Josh McIyntre and Josh Gimblett 15. There’s been fifteen different scorers in total.
SO, A MAN . . . jumps into a taxi and says, “King Arthur’s Close” and the taxi driver says, “Don’t worry, we’ll lose him at the next lights.” – Tommy Cooper

THAT the Napier Boy’s High 1st XV Rugby are excited to announce they will be attending the Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament 2023. This is taking place in Fukuoka, Japan from 25th April to 7th May.
The invitation to attend this tournament came through during the week of Cyclone Gabrielle. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often. Despite the impact of the floods on our community and the short time frame the school has been humbled by the support of the players whanau and the wider Hawke’s Bay community. This has enabled a squad of 30 players to attend this major international rugby event.
The 2023 1st XV team is under the guidance of head coach and a former Napier Old Boys Marist player Bevan Lynch and manager Dave Russell. Following the retirement previous mentor and another NOBM man Brendon Ratcliffe.
THAT two old McLean Park rival rivals forwards passed away recently they were Napier Marist Premier forward and policeman Phil Schmidt, and Napier Old Boys frontrower and Ranfurly Shield veteran Gus Meech. Many of their former team mates from the sixties would remember Phil and Gus who were both top guys. We wish to extend our condolences to both Phil and Gus’ families
THAT an important message to all players. – Make 2023 the year you introduce a New Player or Supporter to our Club.

THAT @ Rugby Snippets – St John’s College 1st XV will be on a short tour to Sydney 29 June thru July 9. Details of the teams opponents still to be announced.
@ What a cracker of a game the intense clash between hosts the Chiefs v Crusaders last night in Hamilton. A thoroughly deserved win the Waikato Warriors over the southern men, the 34-24 win to Sam Kanes/Caines men was thoroughly deserved despite the lead changing several times over the eighty minutes. A great watch. And now nine in a row for Chiefs no wonder former Napier OBM man and Chiefs co-captain Brad Weber has a permanent smile on his face. Can you blame him?
@ Congrats also to our ‘Thirsty Thirds’ on their first win for the season in their clash v Tamatea Thirds . You guys really flew the flag for the Club well done. We know you will have enjoyed the aftermatch and the evening. Keep it up now you’re on a roll boys….
THAT – ‘Forty Years Ago Flashback…..
1983 Was a BIG year for the club which commenced with the hosting the 54th Spillane Tournament at Easter. Napier playing in the Division two Ham Cumming Cup section played Morrinsville St Josephs in the opening round winning 23-12. Easter Mondays cup final was a local derby which resulted in Hastings Celtic taking out the division with a 16-3 win. In the top Spillane Cup division final the powerful Marist St Pats side recorded a 22-9 win over northerers Hamilton Marist.
Napier also fielded a team in the Moran Cup division 4 of the Easter tournament losing their games in both outings vs Masterton Marist 15-23 and Counties Marist 9-12.
The second major occasion for the year was in August (26-28th) when the club’s 75th Jubilee was held over that weekend which saw a great gathering of past and present playing and non-playing members present for the various events of the weekend as arranged by the Jubilee committee chaired by Jim Blundell. The final act was a rugby fixture at McLean Park between the Magpies and a Marist Saracens Invitation XV. The match resulted in a convincing 35-9 win to the Bay. The ‘buy a brick’ campaign was launched to raise funds toward a proposed new clubrooms and move to Park Island (a scheme which was we all know never became a reality until seventeen years later under much different circumstances as a totally new club – but it came to pass eventually! )
McLean Park neighbours and keen rivals Napier High School Old Boys were the victors in the annual Brother Virgilius Cup duel with a thrilling narrow 22-21 win. The Senior coach and captain were Mick Cull and Hawkes Bay flanker John Luoni. The club hosted two Irish players, Brian West a loose forward and Mick Moylett a lock, both became key members of the senior squad. Moylett was about to be included in the Magpie squad but had to depart for previously arranged rugby committments in Ireland and he later went on the to become an Irish international. Taradale were the 1983 Maddison Trophy victors.
At the club’s Annual Meeting two new life members were appointed, club doctor Tony Foley and treasurer Terry Mahony. Greg Primrose was the club’s exchange player to the Skerries Club in Ireland. And the NZ Marist Colt for the South Island tour was senior midfield back Glenn Donaldson. The club fielded six teams in the Senior 1, 2, 3, Under 23, Under 21 and Under 18 grades.
The British & Irish Lions also had Hawkes Bay on their itinerary which saw the Magpies turn in a commendable performance despite losing a close encounter 19-25. Magpie Junior Paraha was red carded in the Bays 39-9 loss to Wellington at McLean Park. 32-3 was the scoreline of Hawke’s Bays Ranfurly Shield loss against Canterbury.
Marist Cricket’s Hawkes Bay reps were Pat O’Shaughnessy and Mark O’Dowd. The Napier Marist Rugby Club’s Sportsman of the Year was Peter O’Shaughnessy.

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy returned home to Ireland from watching a rugby match between Ireland and England.
At the pub, Paddy told the lads, “It was a savage competition, nothing short of brutal.
In the break, the Irish skipper came off the field with a bruised testicle!”
Mick said, “He must have been in agony.”
“Not at all,” replied Paddy. “It belonged to one of the Englishmen.”
At an pub in Glasgow a wealthy tourist announced that he had lost his wallet containing £10,000 and would give a reward of £100 to the person who found it.
From the back of the pub a Scot shouted, “I’ll give £150!”
One afternoon, five American tourists in Ireland are taking in the sights when they see a sign that says, Sean’s Pub – All drinks 20 cents! In disbelief they enter the pub, thinking that this is too good to be true. Sean is standing behind the bar and in a gregarious voice says, “Welcome lads, let me pour you a drink.”
After a couple of rounds, at only 20 cents per drink, their curiosity gets the best of them. Sean explains that he hit the Irish Lottery and quit his boring bookkeeping job to open the pub of his dreams.
As the Americans lifted their pints, they couldn’t help noticing a group at the other end of the pub that hadn’t yet ordered a drop. One asked Sean, “What’s with them?” Sean replied,
“Right, never mind them. That’s Angus and his crew from Scotland. They’re just waiting for happy hour.”
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
