2023 Ray White NASH CUP
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 101 – 36 AOTEA Premiers
In the match at Rugby Park Dannevirke and with the team carrying a few injuries and an Aotea team that has been picking up bonus points every match this wasn’t a game to take lightly. We started slowly as Aotea piled on the pressure however our defence kept them out and it wasn’t long before live-wire wing Michael Beech scored a great try. Jonty added the conversion. Aotea hit straight back with a converted try as they caught us napping down the short side 7 al with only 12mins gone. 5 mins later we were in again as we started to build pressure with a try to the Wairoa Wizard Paoraian Manuel-Harman. Aotea hit straight back with a penalty and after 20 mins we were up 14 -10.
The flood gates then started to open as we held onto the ball for long facets of play and our forwards started to dominate and this allowed our backs to work their magic. We ran in six unanswered converted tries in the next 20 mins to lead at Halftime 56 -10. The 2nd half was much the same however to Aotea’s credit they never gave up and consistently let us know, that if were to take our foot off the throat then they would score a few tries themselves and they did. However 7 tries in the second half for us meant we secured the W on the road and stay in the top 6. Final score 101 – 36
Tries for the Day – Paoraian Manuel – Harman 4, Micheal Beach 2, Kere Penitito 2, and 1 each to Craig Sharplin, Josh Gimblet, Ikapo Tana, Tulitalua Faleiva, Luke Foster, Kade Manuel and Jonty Stewart. With Jonty Stewart kicking 13 out of 15 attempts. A fantastic result. Onto Taradale at home next week and a real test against a top 6 team in the last game of the 1st round.

Two weeks in a row…..!
Certainly looks like Premier Reserves captain Willie Mead is making
a habit of this as he is recipient of another trophy. This week it was
the Pratt Trophy presented by HB Rugby director Mavis Mullins as
winners of the Town & Country Final at Tremain Field yesterday.
Pratt Trophy – Town & Country FINAL
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premier Reserves 29 – 0 OTANE
The Richard Kepka premier reserve team had the honour of hosting Otane at Tremain Field for the Pratt Trophy. Our second final in 2 weeks so we knew it was going to be tough to back up the result from last week.
For the second week in a row the boys started strongly and we opened the scoring with a great break from Johnny Lauano and pass to Paul Lapa to score close to the posts after just 5 minutes. 20 minutes later we crossed again after pressuring their line with Cory Wilson scoring out wide. After upgrading from a cone to a kicking tee Hamiora Miringaorangi slotted the sideline conversion with ease. Some back and forth footy saw us end the first half with a penalty shot in front of the posts. 17-0 at half time.
Some wise words from the coaches at halftime helped the boys start the second half strong, we knew we couldn’t afford to give this quality Otane team a sniff. Some strong forward play close to the line saw Taleni Moananu grab a meat pie, followed not long after by a try out wide to Kitiona Moleli. 29-0 up with 15 minutes to play. This was to be the final score. A great team effort and a very well deserved result. I’m told it’s the first time we have held the Jack Swain Cup and the Pratt Trophy at same time so this is a great achievement. One more cup to go. Congrats to the coaches, it’s taken a few weeks but the boys look to have hit form at the right time. 91-0 over the past 2 weeks with the 0 being the most pleasing aspect. Special thanks to Simon Lamy our French lock, played 43 minutes yesterday while his taxi waited in the carpark to take him to the airport, and a shout out to all the Mothers associated with the team, hope the boys recognise you today.
Tries Paul Lapa, Cory Wilson, Tasleni Moananu, Kitiona Moleli. Conversions to Hamiora Miringaorangi 3. Penalty to Hamiora Miringaorangi 1

Maury Coady Cup
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Thirds 17 – 46 TARADALE Thirds
The Taradale team beat us by 100 points last season so this years result is a great improvement on that. It was a tough game against a big Taradale side with two of our players, Dan Fridd & Adam DeLautour, suffering injuries.
We have a bye coming up in a couple of weeks so hopefully we don’t miss their services too much.
Good to see plenty of our supporters on the sideline. Thanks for your support. It is always much appreciated.

Pat Ryan Memorial Trophy
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Colts 7 – 92 HASTINGS R&S Colts
The second round began on Saturday with us hosting Hastings on a fine autumn afternoon. Hastings began the game well starving us of possession and commanded the majority of territory. Some poor tackling lead to Hastings scoring early and the flood gates were opened as they managed to score at more than a point a minute during the first half.
The second half began slightly better as we managed to secure some possession only for a few handling errors to let us down. The backs tried to keep us in the game with some fantastic scramble defence from Reid, Tim and Caleb. Hastings ran away with the contest and to our credit we never stopped attacking and were eventually rewarded with a try of our own in the last play of the game with Tim converted. Although the score line was not flattering the boys showed plenty of heart right to the final whistle.
We are home to Havelock next week and look forward to everyone’s support….

DID YOU KNOW
THAT Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby would like to welcome Ashley on board as our new club caterer for the season. She has prepared an amazing menu which will be available from 1.30pm on Saturdays.
THAT We extend an Invitation >>> We hope you will round up some of your old clubmates and come along to our ‘home’ games at Tremain Field and then spend some time chewing over just what it was like back in your day. Your fellow club members and our current players will appreciated YOUR SUPPORT……. See YOU on Saturday
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 . . . . Last week the wheels stayed on the cart . . . With all team members playing their part . . .
Today down to Danne Vegas we do roam . . .Taking on Aotea at the place they call home . ..
So Green Machine from our time in the sticks . . . We must snag max points to stay in the top six mix . . .
MANY OF US . . . older ones will well remember a cartoon character from the Rugby News by the name of Loosehead Len. How many would know that this cartoon character, created by journalist Phil Gifford was actually based on a very prominent New Zealand rugby administrator from back in the day, one Tom Pearce? Pearce was overlooked for the All Blacks against the 1937 Bok. Rumour has it, off field incidents were largely responsible for him not attaining ABs honours. However, he went on to a career as administrator for the Auckland Rugby Union and was team manager in the early 1960s as well as All Blacks manager to South Africa in 1960. As Susan of Herne Bay rightly said, “You can’t keep a good man down.”
AFTER . . . eight rounds of the Nash Cup top clubs try wise:- NOBM 49, Taradale 47, Tech 45, CHB 42 and Pirates 34. The top three individual points scorers:- Jordon Soli (CHB) 86, our own Jonty Stewart 79 and Texan’s Sheridan Rangihuna 73. Top try scorers are Central’s Sam Jones 10, Kaliava Mocetandra 9 and Ikapo Mapu (TRSC) 8. Last Saturday there were 66 tries scored, 37 conversions and four penalties kicked.
THIS WEEKEND . . . in WA Premier Rugby they had the Belt Up round. Although it may sound like it, it has nothing to do with the players belting the crap out of each other. It was, actually a road safety awareness campaign that promotes wearing of seatbelts on Western Australian roads. The campaign partners with grassroots community sports allowing their message to be delivered directly into players hands.
TOP . . . points scorers for the NOBM Premiers so far this season are Jonty Stewart 79, The Wairoa Whiz Paorian Manuel-Harman 35 and Mitch Gibson 25, There’s now been 19 different scorers in total. First-five Jonty Stewart is still averaging 66.67% off the tee from eight games and 48 shots at goal.
RUGBY . . . (noun) A collision sport of elegant violence where the ball is moved forward by throwing it backwards. Some say it is the best time person can have with 14 other people and a hooker.
Cheers McGoo
THAT former Premier player Campbell Devine really hit the Jackpot this past week when his business Devine Plumbing was recognised as the 2023 NZ Master Plumber of the Year at the NZ Plumbing Awards in Christchurch. The judges referenced the company’s outstanding work in the wake of the recent Cyclone Gabrielle which saw Cam’s Napier based company, which employs some 25 staff spend 20 days on full pay after the cyclone volunteering by clearing out people’s homes and properties and putting its diggers and trucks to good use in the massive cleanup. Well done to Cam and your ‘team’ Napier Old Boys Marist are proud of you and your boys…..
We would also like to thank Cam for his generosity toward our Napier Old Boys Marist Club with the branding on all of our 300 club T-shirts.

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.
THAT been just notified of some sad news from the King Country……. Piopio Bowling Club President Dan Weinberg passed away yesterday. Many of you older members of the former Napier Marist Rugby Club will have known Dan who was a Premier player, coach, Hawkes Bay Magpie and Waikato player who was a hard man and a top bloke. Dan will be sadly missed by wife Wendy and family and friends.
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.
Josh Symes Brock James
THAT Magpie head coach Josh Symes who had been with the Hawkes Bay coaching structure since late 2017 when he was appointed technical advisor and then assistant to head coach Mark Ozich. With Ozich’s move to the Western Force at the end of the 2021 season Symes stepped up to the head coaches role for 2022 campaign. An off NZ season coaching position in the United States with Old Glory RFC has now seen Symes move further afield to a professional coaching position in Italy with the Zebre Club which play in an international club competition. This must have been a surprise to Hawkes Bay rugby officialdom who have since been on the front foot and appointed his recent assistant Brock James to the head coaches role. An Australian, James a former Queensland Reds and Western Force Super Rugby and an international Sevens player should bring plenty of experience from a playing perspective to his new role for the 2023 campaign.
THAT Congrats to Jonty Stewart with his outstanding kicking performance yesterday for the Prems v Aotea – 13 conversions from 15 attempts. Not a bad effort mate.
THAT If you or anyone you know are interested on donning your boots and joining our Sideline Bar Thirds please don’t hesitate on giving ‘thirsty’ 3rds co-coach John de Lautour a call – 027 276 7952 – New Players Always Welcome.

Wayne Smith
“While we are disappointed that Josh has decided to move on especially just out from the start of the NPC , we do understand the international coaching market and that the offer was simple too compelling to turn down.”
HBCEO Jay Campbell
“From the very start, you learn humility. There are these structures in place, like the fact that we always leave the changing room as clean as it was when we walked in. So you’ll often see the likes of Richie McCaw and the coach Steve Hanson sweeping the shed.”
Dan Carter’s insight into how the coach and captain instilled the culture they wanted in the team.
“You can go to the end of time, the last World Cup in the history of mankind, and the All Blacks will be favourites for it.”

The Leprauchan Comments
Shortly after take-off on an outbound, evening Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so very sorry, but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service.
I don’t know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals.
I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience.”
When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she continued, “Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat, will “receive free drinks for the duration of our 10-hour flight.
Her next announcement came about 2 hours later,
“If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available.”
“An Irishman wakes up one morning with the filthiest hangover and no recollection of the night before. Slowly opening his eyes, he sees a bottle of aspirin and a glass of water on the bedside table.
He looks around the room to find his clothes are on the dresser, neatly folded, with a clean shirt on top. The bedroom is immaculate. On the bedside table is a note, which says, ‘Darling, your breakfast is in the kitchen. I love you.’
Downstairs, he finds his favourite cereal, croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice and freshly brewed coffee laid out waiting for him, along with the morning paper – and his 15-year-old son, who is finishing his own breakfast.
’Tell me, son,’ he asks, ‘what happened last night?’
‘Well, says the boy, ‘you came home so blind drunk you didn’t even know your own name. You nearly broke the door down, then you were sick in the hallway, then you knocked the furniture over and when Mum tried to calm you down, you thought she was the police, so you gave her a black eye.’
‘My Gosh!’ says the man. ‘Then how come my clothes are all folded, the house is tidy and my breakfast is ready?’
The son replied: ’when Mum dragged you into the bedroom and tried to get your trousers off to put you into bed, you shouted at her, ‘Get your filthy hands off me, floozie woman, I’m married!'”
