Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby Cricket Club

This is the webpage for Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby Cricket Club, formed by the Marist Rugby Club in 1980 so that their rugby players had a semi-social way of staying together over the summer months. Although this has gone on to include many other sporting personnel other than rugby as well as from other clubs who have been drawn to the team’s ideals and way of playing.

From the Napier Marist Brothers Old Boys Rugby Football Club “Team Talk” archives:

Team Talk December 1980:
Marist Rugby Cricket. This year for the first time, the Rugby Club is fielding its own cricket team, which is playing in the 4th grade B competition. This team is completely independent of the Marist Cricket Club. The team organiser Mark Kearney, aided by a number of our club members, have some thirty interested part-time players on their books. At the time of going to print the rugby cricketers have recorded 1 win & 2 losses. Mark assures us that the boys will soon have their act together and improved results are on the way. The team is being sponsored by Graham Price of the Westshore Hotel.

Team Talk June 1981:
A rather belated inaugural Presentation Evening was held at the Westshore Hotel for our Marist Rugby Cricket XI :
Best Bowler – Batsman : John O’Rourke
Best Fielder : Dave Scott
Duck’ : Dave McNally
Plus a special award to Graham Price for assistance to the team.
