one of his four tries in yesterdays convincing outing against Tamatea Premiers.
2023 Ray White NASH CUP
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 81 – 14 TAMATEA Premiers
The Benson Properties Premier team looks to have got their season back on track with a dominant and clinical performance over 70mins against Tamatea. The green machine came out of the blocks quickly and looked focused and determined resulting in an opening try in the first 5mins to winger James Mitchell, the first of 13 throughout the game, with Paoraian Manuel – Harmon bagging 4 for the match. The forwards again delivering a solid platform for the skilled backs to execute and finish. Winger Kere Pentito nabbing POD with Lee Moleli and Josh Gimblett deserving of an honourable mention.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Thirds 38 – 22 FLAXMERE Thirds
The 3rds had an historic day yesterday. The first time in 10 years that the team has won back to back games!
It was a good game against Flaxmere with the lead changing a number of times early on. Flaxmere had some good ball runners, but very good Marist defence kept them at bay.
As the game wore on, we started to exert dominance which lead to the final published score of 38-22 to the Marist 3rds. My records show a final score of 40-22, so there will some discussion around that!
Dan Fridd our 1st five scored 2 tries and 5 conversions. Ali Upumapu, our big right winger scored 3 tries. Tom Grant scored 1 try.
Congratulations to the Reserve Grade & the Prems for their wins yesterday.

Arthur Brown Cup
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Colts 14 – 46 PIRATES Colts
An agreement was reached early in the week to have our game played on Thursday night.
This gave both teams some experience with night time footy. A special thanks to Matt Wyatt for allowing us to have a few (9) players from St John’s College, without which we would struggle to field a full team. We wish them well for their season.
We started the game off slowly allowing pirates to cross for an early converted try after not taking the kick off cleanly. However we replied shortly after with a converted try of our own after the forwards retained possession and provided good go forward ball. The first half was made up of a lot of pressure applied by the Marist forwards with Pirates defending in their 22 for long periods of time, however handling errors would prove costly and allow pirates to counter attack and score long range tries. We went into the break down 27-7
2nd half began with Marist scoring first and able to convert from wide out (Well done Tim). Again the Marist forwards got plenty of go forward ball but again our handling would let us down allowing pirates to score more long range tries to put themselves further ahead. Final score 48-14 but this colts side has shown huge improvement since playing Taradale a few weeks ago. Was also good to see members of the club come and watch and support the boys.
2nd round begins with us at home vs Hastings see you all there!

THAT to our Sponsors and Members – Your loyal backing as in past seasons with our various funding options has always been appreciated and is once again awaiting your Support in 2023 – THANK YOU
HERE and THERE . . .
Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
ODE vs TAMATEA . . . Some parts of last week’s game were officially poor… Made worse by being on the wrong end of the score . . .
My scarf and letterbox numbers have virtually been unemployed . . . It’s high time boys against Tamatea today they’re redeployed . . .
NICE TO SEE . . . This season’s Match Fit series is focusing on the league boys. What astounded me is that Rueben Wiki was the Kiwis leading test player with 55. I well remember when old Pinetree Meads retired his 55 tests seemed massive. But nowadays the All Blacks have had up to a dozen pass the 100 test mark. When one delves a bit deeper into rugby league tests one can see how poorly they fare with union test wise. Over the ditch the most capped test player was Darren Lockyer with 59 (38 as captain) and in England the most league tests played is shared between James Graham and Ryan Hall with 45 each.
AFTER . . . seven rounds of the Nash Cup top clubs try wise:- Central 42, Taradale 41, Tech 38, NOBM 37 and Pirates 30. The top three individual points scorers:- Jordon Soli (CHB) 86, Sheridan Rangihuna (NTOB) 65 and our own Jonty Stewart 58. Top try scorers are Central’s Sam Jones 10, Kaliava Mocetandra 9 and Ikapo Mapu (TRSC) 8. Last Saturday there were 48 tries scored, 262 conversions and two penalties kicked.
CONGRATULATIONS . . . to NOBM’s Riley Hannan and Mitch Gibson for both making HBRU Premier team of the month for April. Funnily enough over in Perth they go as far as selecting a team of the week from every weekend’s Premier games.
TOP . . . points scorers for the NOBM Premiers so far this season are Jonty Stewart 58, Mitch Gibson 25, Five players have scored 15 points each. There’s now been 16 different scorers in total following Pedro’s touchdown against MAC last weekend. First-five Jonty Stewart is averaging 66.67% off the tee from seven games.
A BRIDE . . . on her wedding night says to her husband, “I must confess darling, I used to be a hooker.” He says, “that’s a bit of a shock dear, but I must admit, I find it quite erotic. Tell me about it.” She replies, “Well my name was Nigel, and I played for Wigan!”
Cheers McGoo

“The French selectors never do anything by halves; for the first international of the season against Ireland they dropped half the three-quarter line.” –
Nigel Starmer-Smith, BBC TV (1974)
“They don’t overcomplicate things, they keep it pretty simple. They just trust in their men getting those post-contact metres.”
Highlanders captain Billy Harmon on their Chiefs opponents.
Harmon continues……. “Obviously Damian McKenzie has been one of the best players in the comp around attacking and kicking, so if we can limit the opportunities to play the game, then we’ll be in a good spot.”

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy and Joseph were walking home from Mulligans Irish bar on Halloween night. They decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery, they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel chipping away at one of the headstones. “Jaysus Man, ya frightened the life outa us”
Paddy called as he caught his breath.”You scared us half to death — we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?” Joseph called. “My friends are such fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelt my name, and here I have to correct it!”
An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course his car is weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over.
“So,” says the cop to the driver, “where have ya been?”
” Why, I’ve been to the pub of course,” slurs the drunk.
” Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you’ve had quite a few to drink this evening.”
“I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile.
”Did you know,” say’s the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, “that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?”
“Oh, thanks heavens,” sighs the drunk.
“For a minute there, I thought I’d gone deaf.”
Paddy runs into the Pub and shouts to Mick, “Someones stolen your car.”
Mick says “Did you see who did it?”
Paddy replies “No, but I got the registration number !!!”
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
