At Napier Old Boys Marist we promote a strong work ethic, we play with a special passion and honesty which is fun to be part of, but we also expect our players to carry that honesty through to their work and personal lives.

NOBM’s Duff Penitito makes sure of this as he grounds the match-winning
try in yesterdays hard fought encounter against MAC at Flaxmere Park.
2023 Ray White MADDISON TROPHY
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 22 – 17 MAC
It was a Cracking day for running Rugby at Flaxmere Park for the start of the 2nd round with the top 6 teams.
Both teams were up for it and the early contact was heavy as we lost our winger Josh to an HIA. We defended well but after 4 mins we were down on the score board 5 nil to an MAC who found some space in behind our defence and scored a try out wide.
However, the rest of the half we played well and looked good with ball in hand with tries to hooker Reilly HannAn in the 14th min Kade Manuel in the 34th min and on the stroke of half time Duff Peniteto. Halftime 15 – 5 up.
The 2nd half was tough and bruising and MAC scored 2 tries and a conversion and to retake lead for most of the 2nd half 17 – 15. However our boys were not done yet and Duff Penitito had the run of the day bulldozing through tackles and had the legs to score next to the posts in the 78th min to give us the win 22-17.

DID YOU KNOW
Michael Patrick Dennehy
R I P
THAT the funeral for Mick was held last Thursday 1st May. A requiem Mass was celebrated in front of a packed congregation at St Marys Catholic Church, Greenmeadows. The celebrant was Fr Damian Cacciopoli. Those attending comprised a real cross section of the Hawkes Bay community, family, work associates, friends and the rugby fraternity which including many of Mick’s former team mates both club and representative and friends…… The following is a brief summary of Mick’s senior rugby time with Marist rugby……
Flashback 35 Years
‘TeamTalk’ 1988
Rear: Napier Marist players Dean Brassington, Stu Bennett, Mick Dennehy who were on exchange and playing
for the Skerries RFC in Leinster and Robert McCawley (Skerries) who had earlier been an exchange player to Napier Marist.
Below: Napier Marist All Black brothers Greg Cooper and Matthew Cooper and Skerries RFC’s Mick Kumnig,
who had also previously had a season with Napier Marist. This ‘reunion’ photo was taken in the Skerries clubrooms.
‘TeamTalk’ 1991
Try scorer supremo Mick Dennehy above about to dot down for one of his hattrick of tries for Hawkes Bay in their 43-6 win over Poverty Bay in 1991. Mick also picked up the name “The Leinster Express” during his time in Ireland with the Skerries Club as a prolific hard running try scoring winger.
Known as the ‘Leinster Express” during his time in Ireland Mick scored his first Premier try for Napier Marist on April 30, 1985 vs MAC. And his last try for Napier Old Boys Marist on April 30, 1994 v Flaxmere. In 1991 he scored 25 tries for NOB Marist – Spillane Cup (4), Nash Cup (15) and the Maddison Trophy (6).
The 1991 winter season was certainly a vintage one for NOBM Premier winger Mick Dennehy who topped the club try scoring tally by a country mile. From Premier club games Mick notched up a total of 21 tries. On top of that he also score 4 tries at the Easter Spillane Tournament plus 3 for Hawkes Bay ‘A’ vs Poverty Bay bringing his tally to an amazing 28 Tries. Who said Mick didn’t Try ?
At the end of the 1987 season he went overseas to play for the Skerries Club in Leinster and returned back to Napier for the 1990 season. Magpie number 1298, Mick played nine games for Hawkes Bay 1990-1992, scoring four tries. He debuted at fullback for Hawkes Bay vs Mid Canterbury. And scored three tries vs Poverty Bay, Queens Birthday 1991.

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 . . .
WHAT A . . . fantastic turnout out last Thursday of many past and present club members to farewell our fallen brother Mick Dennehy. Mick aka The Leinster Express a former Premier and Magpies winger, passed away on 27th May. His passing at just 59 years of age is a stark reminder to us all, of just how fragile life can be and we need to treasure and embrace every day we have.
STRATFORD-ELTHAM . . . fullback Brendon Croup equalled the Taranaki Premier club record last Saturday scoring 6 tries against Inglewood. The feat of the 21yr old, first year Prem has only been done twice before in the last 40 years. The others being 2002 by Shayne Austin Eltham-Kaponga who finished that season with 30 tries and Tukapa wing Brent McAsey in 1984. Hawke’s Bay Rugby union statistician Adrian confirmed with me that the feat has been achieved at least three times in Premier club rugby also. Although the Hawke’s Bay wide competition has only been going since 1990 so he’s not seen any records from the Central HB-Dannevirke, Taupo and Wairoa competitions. Our own Premier winger Michael The Eel Buckley was the last Premier player to bag 6 tries that was against Central last year. Back in 2018 he bagged 5 against MAC and finished the season with 35.
WHICH . . . Hawke’s Bay Premier rugby club has used the most goal kickers this season? The answer is Tech with 7 followed by Tamatea and Havelock North with 5 each. At the other end of the scale NOBM have only used Jonty Stewart.
ANOTHER . . . interesting stat from the just completed Nash Cup is the clubs with the most different point scorers. Hastings RS led the way followed by NOBM and Tech with 24 each. The fewest amount of point scorers was Aotea with only 13.
THE WAIROA WHIZZ . . . Paorian Manuel-Harman a Brisbane Broncos supporter like me, was having trouble finding any Broncos apparel to wear to the clash with the NZ Warriors at McLean Park last weekend. But as luck would have it, he ran into McGoo and Sue at The Coffee Club and I loaned him my number two Broncos shirt off my back. One very happy chappy, especially since our team won 26-22.
HOW MANY . . . noticed that the NZ Warriors, the home team came out of the away teams dressing rooms at McLean Park last weekend? Whereas, the away team, the Brisbane Broncos came out of the home teams dressing room.
Cheers McGoo
IRISH LOGIC – May the best day of your past be the worst day of the future….

THAT they are back on again with popular ‘Thursday Night Roasts’. Available from 6.30pm on starting next Thursday commencing with a Pork Roast. Text club caterer Ashley 022 023 7136 to place your order – don’t miss out.
THAT the following excerpt from TeamTalk is a Flashback to 1993. With the dust now settled we now have time to reflect of what the past season might have been. On the club front we narrowly missed out on a finals berth by losing to the eventual winners Taradale. At least one consolation was that Old Boys Marist were the only team to beat Taradale in the 1993 season.
THAT of more far reaching consequences was the demise of the Hawkes Bay Draught Magpies, who had promised so much with their early season form and the exciting brand of attacking rugby that they were playing. Capped off with a meritorious 29-17 win over the touring British & Irish Lions at McLean Park. Actually in that match Napier OBM players scored more points than the entire Lions team – first five Simon Kerr I drop goal, penalty and a conversion (8), Simon Tremain 1 try (5) and Neil Weber 1 try (5). And then their failure to win a single national championship fixture which was indeed unfortunate saw them relegated into division two for the 1994 season at least.
THAT the former St John’s College student Darren Shand must be the longest serving All Blacks All Blacks manager on record having fulfilled the role for the past nineteen years including three World Cups tournaments., with a fourth on the horizon. Shand took on the job in 2004 with Sir Graham Henry after four years with the Crusaders. His role involved leading all team operations and managing the New Zealand Rugby business objectives as they relate to the team. He is resigning from the role at the end of the year.
THAT the North Dunedin based Alhambra Union RFC New Zealands oldest rugby club, is in for a big Kings Birthday when they celebrate their 150th Jubilee over this weekend. We wish them well for the next 150…….
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 As usual we apologise for any errors or mistakes you may find in this edition. Ed

The Leprauchan Comments
The man from the window company called Miss O’Leary on the telephone. “Miss O’Leary, he says, you haven’t made a single payment on your new windows. Is there something the matter?”
Bristling with annoyance, Miss O’Leary replies. “I may be up in years, but I still have my wits about me. Wasn’t your man after telling me those windows would pay for themselves in a year.
“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!'”
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
