It was a fun filled Club Day last Saturday, with the weather not putting a dampener on celebrations. The bouncy castle was a hit, and it was great to see all our Marist teams playing at home.

The Clubrooms filled up despite the rain as the Premiers played, and stayed full well into the evening, as Club members made the most of the drinks specials and DJ.

Well done to all involved.

MARIST NH SENIORS

RECREATIONAL SERVICES PREMIER 1 
Sat 20th May: In what was an exciting day for the Club, the weather unfortunately didn’t come to the party. 

Blustering winds and spots of rain resulted in a shift of mindset to how the team could perform to the best of their ability in the given conditions. 

Disappointingly the conditions had no impact on our ill-discipline and inaccuracies in the tackle. These mental slips led to early scoreboard pressure. After slowing Takapuna down, the team was excited for what they could do with the wind behind them in the second half. Unfortunately poor decision-making restricted Marist from gaining any momentum. It was disappointing to see a great opportunity slip by, particularly on club day with the community braving the poor conditions. 

The highlight of the day was the atmosphere in the Clubrooms afterwards - seeing players, management and supporters from Junior and Senior teams mix and mingle. We are very excited for the opportunity at our next home game, but in the meantime, we have an exciting challenge ahead of us against ECB.

Sat 27th May: Recreational Services Premier 1 vs East Coast Bays, 2:45pm, Windsor 1.

MITRE 10 ALBANY COLTS (U21's)
Sat 27th May: Mitre 10 Albany Marist Colts vs Takapuna, 1:00pm, Onewa 3.

BLUEBELLIES (PRESIDENTS)
Sat 20th May: The weekend's match was a truly terrible day to play Rugby in.  Conditions were wet and windy and made for a game of two halves in playing style. The Bellies were playing with the gale at their back in the first half and led by three tries at half time. But it nearly did not prove enough, as Kumeu came back strongly to jump into the lead with 10 minutes to go. After some good counter attack and keeping the ball to hand, two late tries enabled the Bellies to come out on the right side of a 4 all draw.  Great work by Matt Hoskin who ran it up all game to lead the forward effort.

This week it is Massey under lights on Friday night.

🏉 Player of the Day: Matt Hoskin

Fri 26th May: Bluebellies v Massey, 7:00pm, Moire 1

U11 GIRLS RIP SAPPHIRES
Awesome effort today from our U11 Girls in some rather chilly weather. After a more experienced opposition made for a challenging first half, better organisation led to a decent try count in second half AND several handovers after getting all the opposition rips. It’s great to see the confidence of individuals increasing!
