2023 Ray White MADDISON TROPHY
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 22 – 21 TECH Premiers
After the wet few days we have had you would think running rugby just wouldn’t happen. However, the skills these guys have now days it was all on at Whitmore Park. We started well with a nice easterly breeze at our backs and after some good quality ball went wide saw Captain Pedro Bezanilla sliced through to score out wide. 5 nil. Tech hit back and were hammering away at our line but our boys defence was up to with some big hits coming in and holding Tech out. However, after a good 5 mins Tech scored close to the posts and got the conversion. Down 7-5.
It didn’t take our boys long to get back into their work and were hard on attach again with great line break from Mitch Gibson. Attack we did and winger Josh McIntyre went over for a great try. Jonty converted up 12 -7. Tech again came back strong and were throwing the kitchen sink at us but again our boys defence was outstanding and kept them out, unfortunately Tech scored out wide through what looked like a forward pass thrown to their winger. They added the conversion to go up 14-12. We hit straight back as we had their defence under pressure and Matt Monaghan scored a great forward try next to the posts. Jonty added the conversion, and we went into half time 19-15.
The second half was tough and against the wind and our boys still in the hunt for a top 4 finish. Our boys defence was solid some big hits from Bear Williams, Mitch Gibson, Pulea Faleiva, Dylan Homan, Josh Gimblett. Tech scored a converted try halfway through the 2nd half as we spent a lot of the time in our half. Tech up 21 – 19. However Iceman Bain Champion kicked a penalty to put us back in front 22- 21 with 12 mins still to remaining. Tech came back hard but our boys defence was outstanding and we managed to hold the Texans off and win 22 -21. A great and deserved result.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premier Reserves 45 – 10 TECH Premier Reserves
The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves took on 3rd place Tech at Tremain Field this week. With the conditions as they were we were expecting a tough forward battle and for Tech to push us hard.
As per there were points scored in the first 5 minutes but on this occasion it was us who crossed early with a try to Migao Lauano, easily converted by brother Johnny. We got back down and crossed again through captain Willy Mead, again converted by Johnny we found ourselves up 14-0 after 10 minutes. A great turnaround from our tendency to start slow.
Tech scored soon after and converted to bring it back to a 7 point game. Playing into the wind we held onto the ball well when we had it and our defence really stood up. This led to a Terry Marsh try after 30 minutes, converted by Johnny before Tech kicked a penalty just before halftime to have us leading 21-10.
Playing with the wind and our set piece working really well we were looking good. George Moleli crossed twice in the 10 minutes that followed the break before a pristine lineout drive 5 meters from the line saw Terry Marsh grab his second. We kicked well and our scrum and defence continued to dominate even after the bench was emptied, very pleasing to see. Some great back play saw Va’a Utumapu scamper in out wide in the 70th minute to close out the scoring. A 45-10 win in these conditions put smiles on dials.
With a home semi final already in the bag we will still look to close out the round robin in style versus 2nd place Pirates at home next weekend. Tries Migao Lauano, William Mead, Terry Marsh (2), George Moleli (2), Va’a Utumapu. Cons Johnny Jauano (4), Hamiora Miringaorangi (1)

Ron Parker Memorial Trophy
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Thirds 3 – 22 HAVELOCK NORTH Thirds
The official score shows Havelock North with 19 points, but they scored 4 tries so I don’t know where the 19 points came from. Anyway, we started the game well with plenty of possession and took an early 3-0 lead. But as the game wore on, the conditions played to the strengths of the Havelock North team which resulted in them scoring 4 tries.
Havelock North were good in the close quarter part of the game and good with rucks and mauls, getting quite a bit of turnover ball that way. Our team is clearly more suited to a dry ground. We still had our chances to score tries, but good defence and a slippery ball robbed us of chances.
A big shout out to our supporters who braved the weather conditions to come out and support our team. Thank you. We need to mention our French import, Thibaud Thouroude who came back for one last game before heading home to France. We presented him with a special rugby top at the clubrooms last night as a memento of his time playing for Marist. We are currently showing as second on the points table and our grade goes straight into a final next weekend. We are waiting to see if we get a home final as we beat the top team Tamatea by default.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Colts 7 – 50 ONGA-TIKO Colts
We woke up to the newS that state highway 50 closed, as we were playing Onga Tiko there. We had to do some ringing around to find out more information. As it turns out the road leading up to Onga Tiko rugby club was fine. So off we went in the wet and cold Saturday afternoon. When we showed up the field looked alright but with closer inspection it was very soft and was going to cut up very quickly.
We started off very strong going up within the first 5 mins. We just about scored again soon after, which I believe would of been the start of something special in this team. But with all good Country rugby teams they just know how to play in poor weather conditions. By the end of the game you couldn’t tell who was who and the boys were looking forward to a warm shower.
Thank you to Onga-Tiko clubfor your usual country hospitality it’s always a good time going down there.

HERE and THERE . . .
Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
I’M NOT . . . one to talk about politics. From my many years involvement with many sports one thing is sure. There’s more politics in sport than there is politics! With that in mind, just what is a political football? Is it actually played with a ball at all? How long is a game? Due you have subs? What kind of field is it played on? Do you use a referee or an umpire? So many questions and surely none of these can be answered by any political party. To solve my dilemma, I consulted the Cambridge Dictionary. “A political football is a problem that politicians from different parties argue about and try to use in order to get an advantage for themselves.” Well at least the game allows advantage!
THE FOURTH . . . round of the Maddison Trophy last week there was 20 tries scored, 14 conversions and six penalties kicked. 146 points in all three matches played. Top points scorers for the season are Jordan Soli (CHB) 132, Jonty Stewart (NOBM) 126 and Tech’s Sheridan Rangihuna 125. Top try scorer is Tech’s Falealli Popoalii with 14. Another three players have 13 each, Aotea’s Sam Jones, Taradale’s Majella Tufuga and Ikapo Mapu. The Green Machine’s top try scorer is The Wairoa Whiz Paoraian Manuel-Harman with 10.
THIS PAST . . . week, the 22nd of June saw the 30th anniversary of the 1993 Hawke’s Bay Magpies 29-17 victory over the touring British and Irish Lions side at McLean Park. Napier Old Boys Marist supplied three players to the starting XV, Simon Tremain, Neil Weber and Simon Kerr. All three managed to get on the score sheet. Also, part of the fixture was our current Patron Ian MacRae who was the HB Magpies manager. Amongst the ball boys were Michael and Ross Clements along with Tim Coull. The curtain-raiser between the Magpie and Waikato Colts also featured NOBM loosie Tony Giles. But wait there’s more! Two current NOBM club members myself and Eddie Wilson were involved in putting the match day souvenir program together. The program price $4.00
WHEN . . . the Chiefs won their first Super Rugby title in 2012 their squad contained seven current or present Hawke’s Bay Magpies players. The two former players were Kane Thompson and Mahonri Schwalger. The current players were Andrew Horrell, Sona Taumalolo, Brodie Retallick, Ben Tameifuna, Hika Elliot.
Cheers McGoo
THAT after missing out on the cut for the latest All Black squad for the upcoming RWC, Brad Weber’s selection for the All Blacks XV’s two match Japan tour is some consolation. The matches the team will be playing are vs Japan XV, Sat 8 July, Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, Tokyo and vs Japan, Sat 15 July, Kumamoto. From there he will be heading for a taste of French rugby where he has signed by French club Stade Français. Napier OB Marist members will be wishing Brad all the best for a successful and fulfilling experience of rugby on the continent.

The Leprauchan Comments
Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died.
He quickly phoned his best friend Finney. “Did you see the paper?” asked Gallagher. “They say I died!!”
“Yes, I saw it!” replied Finney. “Where are you callin’ from?”
Michael O’Leary of Ryanair goes into a Dublin pub and asks for a pint of Guinness.
“That will be one Euro, please,” says the barman.
“That’s a very fair price,” replies O’Leary.
“Would you like a glass with that, sir?” asks the barman?
An Englishman, A Scotsman and an Irishman are working on building a Skyscraper. They spend their working day atop the steel structure and have their lunch sitting on one of the steel girders.
One day the Englishman opens his lunch box and scoffs “Damn. Corned Beef? Again?”. The Scotsman opens his lunchbox and bemoans his Corned Beef sandwich as well. The Irishman opens his lunchbox and he also has a Corned Beef sandwich.
The three of them agree that Corned Beef sandwiches are hideous and the Englishman sarcastically says that if he get’s a Corned Beef tomorrow he has good mind to jump from the building because he’s absolutely sick of eating them. The Scotsman shares his sentiment and agree’s saying “You and me both Pal!”. The Irish man concurs and says he’ll jump himself it’s yet another Corned Beef sandwich.
The following day, the three meet up to have their lunch. The Englishman opens his lunchbox and he has a chicken sandwich. “Excellent” he says. The Scotsman has a cheese and ham sandwich. “Lovely” he exclaims. The Irishman opens his lunchbox but, lo and behold, it’s Corned Beef. Again. He excuses himself, stands up, leaps from the girder and falls to his death below.
An inquiry is opened by the construction company and it reveals the talk the three friends had the day before about the frequency of getting hideous corned beef sandwiches for lunch and their sarcastically joking about killing themselves if they got it again the next day. The company summons the Irishman’s grieving wife to shed some light on the situation.
They explain the circumstances which lead to his death but she tells them “I don’t understand, he always makes his own lunch!”.
