JOSH LEADS THE CHARGE
NOBM Premiers lock Josh Gimblett is all power heading for the line as
Hastings Rugby & Sports opponents close in to halt his progress.
2023 Ray White MADDISON TROPHY
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premiers 44 – 37 HASTINGS RUGBY & SPORTS
Well it doesn’t get much bIgger with a must win at home on Tremain Field on Club day. Playing into a strong wind, we started really poorly again and were down 14 nil after 15 mins. We had to wait until the 17th min before strong running winger Kere Penititi scored a great try in the corner. 5 – 14. A few minutes later we saw the pace of left winger Josh McIntyre who ran down the left hand touchline to score a great try. 10-14 and it was to HRS. Playing into a strong headwind any mistake cost us as we let HRS in for another five pointer and a penalty. Now down 10 –22 we were strong on attack and HRS were infringing off side as we piled on the pressure before halftime. A penalty was awarded and a chance to kick to the corner and set up a lineout drive and Dylan Homan obliged to make it 15 – 22 to HRS at halftime.
Come the second half and the wind had dropped away to a mere breeze. And it didn’t take long for our boys to get into their work as strong running 2nd five Duff Penitito broke the line to score in the corner 20 – 22 to HRS. Halfback Mitch Gibson was next on the scoresheet as he broke the line and showed a clean pair of heels to run 40 metres under the posts. Jonty Stewart converted. Up 27-22 and looking good. Winger Kere Penitito looking dangerous everytime he gets the ball in his hands and scored another try. Jonty Stewart converted to stretch the scoreline out to 34-22 in credit.
This stung HRS and the Hastings side hit back with a converted try to close it up again and make it 34-29 to NOBM and the pressure was back on. We were looking good with ball in hand and were back hard on attack. A well worked move then saw our fullback Paoraian Manuel – Harman score and Jonty Stewart obliged with the conversion. Back out to a comfortable lead 41-29. HRs hit right back with a try and then a penalty to close the lead to 41-37 but replacement Bain Champion stepped up and took the penalty to make the finally score 44 -37. A great win with a bonus point to catapult us into 2nd place and a home Semi bank against the Texans next Saturday.

NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Premier Reserves 42 – 25 PIRATES Reserves
The Richard Kepka Premier Reserves took on second placed Pirates on Tremain Field No.1 yesterday to finish the round robin. As we usually do we gave the opposition a head start and Pirates up 0-12 after only 8 minutes. We then went to work into the wind and replied with 3 tries of our own. Pirates took a drop goal and grabbed a couple of tries at the end of the half to lead 19-25.
We turned around well and with the wind at our backs scored 4 second half tries to come away with a 43-25 win. We knew already we had a home semi but it was nice to keep the momentum going. Next week we take on Tech at home who we know will be better and will certainly out to get us.

Division 3A Final
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Thirds 17 – 37 TAMATEA Thirds
We never looked like winning this game as Tamatea came out firing and scored early points which proved to be enough for them to win the final. We came back with 2 late tries, but at that stage Tamatea were too far in front for us to be able to catch them.
Still, it is the first time in about 12 years that the Marist 3rds have played in a final, and we won more games than last year and had a full squad of players for most of our games.
So all in all a good year, with talk of who we might recruit for next season.
With Division 3A being new this year, the Rugby Union came up with a new trophy – the AJ Gardiner trophy. Which acknowledges everything AJ has done for our team, the club and Hawkes Bay rugby as well. The trophy was awarded by Hawkes Bay Rugby Ambassador Gary Macdonald, which was also fitting for all he has done for the game and Hawkes Bay rugby.
The Tamatea team did a Haka for us and their supporters once they received the trophy, which was appreciated by everyone. A classy way to finish the game and season.
We didn’t award 3,2,1’s to individual players, but the Player of the Day went to the team for their commitment throughout the whole season.

Pat Ryan Memorial Trophy
NAPIER OLD BOYS MARIST Colts 19 – 44 TARADALE Colts
The boys were eager to impress the crowd that turned out on club day. Playing with a stiff breeze behind us in the first half Taradale managed to starve NOBM of the ball for the first 20mins of the first half applying plenty of pressure which our defence managed to cope with. Although being without the ball we managed to turn defence into attack and were able to capitalise on a couple of Taradale’s errors and scored some long range tries which were converted to give us a 14-0 lead after 25min. Taradale came back at us with plenty of gusto and were rewarded with some quick tries which saw us go into the break 15-14 down.
The second half started with the boys playing much tighter due to the stiff head wind. The team was directed around the field brilliantly by captain Caleb Peterson. However Taradale used the wind to their advantage and pinned us down deep inside our half and we made some unforced errors which they were able to make us pay for. Although Taradale managed to score a few more tries, NOBM fought back hard and were rewarded with a try to close the gap to 6 points before Taradale scored 2 more late tries to take the final score to 44-19.
Many thanks to the supporters who braved the chilly weather to support us it was much appreciated. The Colts still have two games left for 2023 to try get that elusive first win.

DID YOU KNOW
THAT CLUB DAY 2023
Great day out there yesterday, was awesome to see the clubrooms packed, the sea of Marist colours, and a pleasure to host our Life Members, Gold Card Members & Sponsors to show our appreciation for their support. The calculators took a hammering across the Bay today but with a gutsy win from the Benson Property Premiers, it will be a home Maddison Trophy semi-final next week vs Tech. The Richard Kepka Builders Premier Reserves kept their streak alive with another win and will also host a semi-final at home next week. The Sideline Bar Thirds unfortunately came up short in their final today but overall had a great season. And our Napier City Collision Repair Center Colts also fell short but have put in a good season and will be great to see them out there again 2024 building on this one. Remember NEW PLAYERS are always WELCOME to ‘Team up with the Green Machine’.
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
THAT a new trophy was presented yesterday to the Tamatea Thirds who won the 3A section of the Division 3 competition. The Rugby Union came up with a new trophy – the ‘AJ Gardiner Trophy’, which acknowledges everything AJ has done for our teams both as a player and coach, the club, and Hawkes Bay rugby as well as a former player. It was presented by our life member and club former President and HB Rugby Ambassador Gary Macdonald, which was also fitting for all he has done as a stalwart for the game in HB rugby over many years..
THAT an important message to all players and members – Make 2023 the year you introduce a New Player or Supporter to our Club. We are always on the lookout for new members.
HERE and THERE . . .
Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
FRANCE . . . have been dealt a Rugby World Cup blow after being denied the chance to select Toulouse lock Emmanuel Meafou till the end of 2023 season. The decision means the New Zealand born Aussie will be unable to play for the Frogs at RWC 23 in September. Meafou was born in Auckland to Samoan parents prior to shifting across the ditch as a two-year-old. The now 24-year-old stands at 2.03m and weighs in at 145kg has played 70 matches for Toulouse since 2019. He arrived in France in 2018 but with World Rugby changing residency criteria from 3 to 5 years, means he can’t represent France till the 2024 Six Nations. A request for a clearance was denied by World Rugby.
IN LAST WEEK’S . . . round of the Maddison Trophy there was 26 tries scored, 19 conversions and one penalty kicked (Bain Champion’s in-off and eventual match winner against the Texans). 170 points in all three matches played. Top points scorers for the season are Jordan Soli (CHB) 138, Jonty Stewart (NOBM) 130 and Tech’s Sheridan Rangihuna 131. Top try scorer is Tech’s Falealli Popoalii and Taradale’s Majella Tufuga with 14. Another two players have 13 each, Aotea’s Sam Jones, and Taradale’s Ikapo Mapu. The Green Machine’s top try scorer is still The Wairoa Whiz Paoraian Manuel-Harman with 10.
WITH THE NBA . . . draft taking place last week there was a likely HB Magpies basketball team posted on social media last week. This was the line-up:- Point guard: Brad Weber, Shooting Guard: Israel Dagg, Small Forward: Jason Shoemark, Power Forward; Brodie Retallick, Centre: Bryn Evans. A good mix there for sure!

THEY SAID IT
“Abuse is not a great thing. Especially through direct messages from some muppets on social media – and it’s not fun.”
Dane Cole on the abuse targeted at referee Ben O’Keefe following the Crusaders – Chiefs final at FMG Stadium…..
And continues..….”I think that Clayton McMillan and everyone has kind of reached out and supported Ben. It is important we show respect to the refs and the game, because they are doing a great job. Sometimes they don’t get it right, but it doesn’t mean we can go out and do what some people have done to him.”
“I thought the Chiefs, if they kicked it (the McKenzie penalty) they deserved it, well done. They’ve had a great season, Clayton’s put a good squad together, thyey’ve got and awesome team off the field as well, you can see it. Bravo.”
Scott Robertson.
“The Crusaders were a still a really quality side, and they dug deep, so we applaud them for that. You just have to admire their tenacity and getting the job done.“
Losing coach Clayton McMillan acknowledges his opponents performance.
“This year, we wanted to go to heaven. And we realised to go to heaven you’ve got a lot, we believe.”
Robertson revealing part of this years theme which drove the Crusaders.

The Leprauchan Comments
Three Irishmen were in charge of a branch of a bank in a little country village. One day an inspector from the central office went down to visit them and see how they were getting on only to find the bank closed during banking hours. When he looked in the window, he saw the three Irishmen playing poker with the bank’s money. Furiously, the inspector activated the alarm bell which rang loudly three times. Nothing happened for a few minutes – until a barman from the pub across the road from the bank arrived with three pints of Guinness on a tray.
Murphy lost a hundred dollars on the Melbourne Cup, a famous
Australian horserace. He also lost another hundred on the television
replay.
A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o’clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where he is met by a drunken neighbour who is standing in the pouring rain.
The neighbour asks him for a push. “Not a chance!” says the husband. “It’s three o’clock in the morning!” He slams the door and returns to bed.
“Who was that?” asked his wife. “It was Timothy Quinn, from around the corner. He is drunk and he wants a push.” he answers. “Did you help him?” she asks. “No, I did not! It’s three in the morning and its pouring rain!”
“Well, you have a short memory.” says his wife. “Can’t you remember about three months ago when our car broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him and you should be ashamed of yourself!”
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, “Quinn, are you still there?”
“Yes.” comes back the answer.
“Do you still need a push?” calls out the man.
“Yes, please!”
Is the reply from the dark. “Where are you?” asks the man. “I over here, on the swing.”
