FINANCE REPORT 2023
Financial Performance
The 2023 financial statements show a net loss after depreciation of $1,897.
This is a change of $8,000 compared to a profit of $5,898 last year.
The major changes in income and expenses are as follows:
Positive
Increase in Bar Sales of $19,000
Increase in Sponsorship Income of $12,500
Increase of Grant Income of $22,500
Increase in Sundry Income of $23,000
Negative
Increase in Bar Wages of $8,000
Decrease in Clubroom Hire Income of $14,000
Increase in Repairs and Maintenance of $10,000
Increase in Rugby Expenses of $13,500
Decrease in Net Junior Income of $30,500
Bar Profit
Gross Bar Income was up 14% to $153,500. This was due to additional functions as well as hosting home semi-finals. Maintaining a Gross Profit Percentage of 45% this added $8,500 to bar Gross Profit. However, this was required to offset the increases in the cost of bar wages due to increased wage rates and reduced voluntary hours.
Sponsorship Income
Sponsorship Income increased due to having a colts team sponsor again as well as finding a new shorts sponsor. Thank you to all of the sponsors, the club wouldn’t be able to operate without your support.
Grant Funding
As well as the successful usual applications to Pub Charity and Grassroots, the club was also successful in receiving $15,000 from Eastern and central Community Trust. Due to a change in contract with Sportslink, the cost of applying for funds was also reduced.
Sundry Income
This includes $20,000 from NZRFU being the club’s share of the capital payment from the Silverlake deal.
Clubroom Hire
Last year the club was hired out as a vaccination centre.
Repairs and Maintenance
The clubroom lights were all replaced at a cost of $8,000 and the signs on the outside of the clubrooms were installed at a cost of $2,000.
Rugby Expenses
Bus Hire a Travel expenses increased by $9,000 as the club went to Spillane this year. Costs were more than usual this year due to the Napier/Taupo road being closed following the cyclone. Playing Gear and expenses were up due to replacing more Jerseys, these were funded by Pub Charity.
Net Junior Income
The change in Junior Club relates to timing differences between when money comes in and is spent on team trips. The main club operations are break-even and they have good cash reserves.
Financial Position
The club still has a strong balance sheet with equity of $550,000 and no borrowings.
The cash position has increased due to the surplus for the year.
Capital assets purchased during the year include the new projector and TV.

Presidents Report 2023
It is my privilege to present my Presidents report for the 2023 rugby year. Due to shortening the playing season, the format of the competitions was changed this year, resulting into a 6 team Maddison Trophy competition and other divisions and trophies added as grades were split for the 2nd round.
For Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby the seasons competitions commenced with the defending of the Spillane Cup in Taupo, which due to Cyclone Gabriel closing the Taupo Road, meant a long 6 hour journey each way to attend. Thanks to those players and officials for making this extended journey, just losing a close 91st Spillane Cup final 25-14 to Hamilton Marist.
Once again, we fielded 4 senior teams with mixed results. Our very young Colts team continued to develop with mixed results, but great to see that this team progressed extremely well towards the end of the season, so looking good for 2024. Our Senior Thirds continue to represent our club with a mix of experienced and new players and remain an extremely important part of our club. Our Senior Seconds were once again our shining light team of the season on the field, being unbeaten throughout the season winning numerous trophies. Congratulations to all involved. Our Premier team were required to finish in the top 6 in Nash Cup to qualify for the new format 6 team Maddison Trophy competition. This was achieved easily, it created a very tough and competitive 2nd round with no easy games. Sadly, beaten in the semi-finals, but it seems to be consensus that this 6 team shootout is here to stay. Our club continues to clearly be a “Premier Club” within Hawkes Bay.
Congratulations to all our prize winners this year and especially those players who were selected for further HBRFU representative teams after the club season had finished. A special shout out to our “Sportsman of the Year” Josh Gimblett who played regular game time in our very successful Magpies Team.
Off the field, as per the Club Management Report, our facilities and social side of the club continue to result in a very pleasurable place to be on a Saturday afternoon and our financial report shows that we continue to be financially very sound with a solid balance sheet. Our bar turnover this year has seen extremely positive growth.
Being amongst our junior teams every Saturday morning, due to several grandkids playing, I can see the ongoing strength of this sector of our club. Once again, thanks to Condy and his junior committee and coaches etc for the huge effort to keep our junior club as strong as any in HB. Congratulations also to Josh Wynands, who will be taking over as junior chairman for the 2024 season.
Thanks to all the volunteers who make our club what it is. We always need coaches, managers, and people to do the many little maintenance jobs. Thanks also to our bar staff and kitchen workers and of course our very essential sponsors. Your contributions are very much appreciated.
Lastly, my thanks go out to our hard-working board of directors, Terry, Chris, Matt and Wade for bringing it all together. Special thanks to Terry Gittings for his ongoing work. Terry has now completed 20 years as a board director and chairman and his organisational skills and MC humour has meant our club is in a better place due to his contribution. Thanks Terry. I know with coaches and managers all in place for next year and the pre-season training plan being finalised we all look forward to the 2024 season.
Have a great Xmas.
Regards
Mike O’Connor
President, Napier Old Boy’s Marist Rugby Football Club.

THAT the following is a FLASHBACK cutting from the former Napier ‘Daily Telegraph’ after Napier Marist completed two consecutive Maddison Trophy wins in 1986. The team also went on for another win to complete the hattrick in 1987. The ‘special’ run of T Shirts worn by the three club personalities featured in the Telegraphs rugby headlines and on the back of the shirt were match headlines from the former Hastings ‘Herald Tribune’ featuring goal kicking maestro Peter O’Shaughnessy.

THAT to our Sponsors and Members – Your loyal backing in the current, as in past seasons with our various funding options has always been really appreciated and is once again we look forward your Support again in 2024 >>>>>> THANK YOU
IRISH LOGIC ~ “Irish Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. “
HERE and THERE . . .
Celebrating 28 years of News, Views, Opinion and Stats from the man in the stand . . .
THIRTEEN . . . of the 46 players named the 2023 Rugby World Cup final are signed to play in Japan League One next season (28%).
ONE THING . . . for sure is that former Japan, England and Wallabies coach Eddie Jones was always good for a quote. Here’s a couple of his more recent ones. “Never wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty, and besides the pig likes it.” And this one of his best. “Sometimes you have to eat shit for others to eat caviar further down the track.”
WHEN IT COMES . . . to departing long serving All Blacks it’s interesting to see a split in their first-class games. I’ve only done five here to show how little NPC some of these guys played. Brodie Retallick 13 games for Hawke’s Bay, Sam Whitelock 22 for Canterbury, Beauden Barrett 28 for Taranaki, Aaron Smith 47 for Manawatu and Dane Coles 66 for Wellington. When it comes to total first-class games Smith has 365, Whitelock has 361, Barrett 312 and Retallick 253.
AUSSIE CRICKET . . . umpire Rod Tucker is about to bring up a century of ODI games during the current Cricket World Cup in India. The 59 year-old has currently stood in 98 ODI matches.
NEXT WEEK . . . Just who will take over the Wallabies and where is the missing Linc?
Cheers McGoo
THAT It would have been a nice little Christmas bonus for the AB’s had the result gone the other way. Already assured of a bonus of $35,000 for making the final, a win would have put a Bonus of $150,000 in each player in the tour squads bank account……

THEY SAID IT
“The bit I’ve always struggled with and will continue to struggle with is when that abuse comes to my family. Threats of sexual violence, threats of we know where you live. It crosses the line.”
Wayne Barnes tells BBC sports editor Dan Roan.
“When people make threats against your wife and kids they should be held to account and punished.”
Wayne Barnes after his wife Polly revealed after the final that the family had received death threats.
“The problem is the way that we’re controlling the game, it’s being refereed in replay.”
Sir Steve Hansen.
“This means a lot to the country because rugby always unites us even though the country is facing so many problems.”
Springbok supporter Joseph Malherbe.

The Leprauchan Comments
Father Flanigan’s phone rang and he picked it up. The voice said, “Good morning, are you Father Flanigan?”
“I am”
“This is the Revenue Service. Can you answer a question?”
“I can”
“Do you know a Tom O’Halloran?”
“I do”
“Does he belong to your church?”
“He does”
“Did he donate $5,000 to your orphans fund?”
“He will.”
Two Irish men walk out of a Bar….
No really, It could happen !
O’Malley’s wolfhound died and O’Malley was despondent. He decided to ask the local priest for a favor.
“Father,” O’Malley said, “is there any way you could say a mass for my poor dead wolfhound? He was a lovely animal, he was, and I’d like his soul to be at peace.”
“I’m afraid not,” replied the priest. “We can’t be sayin‘ mass for animals now. The church forbids it. But you might ask the Protestants. There’s no tellin‘ what those heathens will do.”
“Okay thanks, Father, “said O’Malley. “By the way, do you think 5,000 Euros would be enough to offer them for the service?”
“My God, O’Malley!” exclaimed the priest. “Why in heaven’s name didn’t you say the dog was a Catholic?!”
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
