The article noted that with 2,620 members, we have the honour of been the country’s largest sports club, being split between nine codes, and including over 400 coaches, managers and administrators. It is them, and our sponsors I would really like to thank. Without your support in all sorts of ways the club, and all its codes could simply not function as we do. Special thanks goes to The New Zealand Community Trust, The Eastern & Central Community Trust, The Lion Foundation, The Higgins Group of Companies and to The Shamrock Club for your valuable support, it is much appreciated. From a governance perspective, the Council of Codes, made up of representa- tives from each of our codes, meet regularly throughout the year. The feedback from those meetings then inputs to the Marist Board, which meets approximately six times a year and provides oversight and support for the codes, but importantly challenges itself with the future of our club. In this respect, work has been undertaken at the moment to consider the clubrooms, the future development of those clubrooms, and the integration of Pascal Street site with sport in the Manawatu. The codes have and will continue to be asked to input into this process, and for those of you who are regular attendees, particular over the winter period, you will see that at times the clubrooms are full to capacity (A great challenge to have). Paul O’Brien assures me that there are not many times during the year when the clubrooms are not being used in some way, shape or form. Look out for the Chairmans cocktails, and the AGM, both of which will be held in November. The Chairmans cocktails function is a thanksgiving evening for those who administer and sponsor our codes. As usual, we will also be celebrating St Patrick’s Day, so if you have not been to one of these functions for a while, come along and enjoy the hospitality. My congratulations to all of the players in our sporting codes, many have enjoyed tremendous success during the last year, and in the junior codes as I have commented on previously our numbers are just outstanding! The future looks bright!

  • Fiery Net Spell Sees S Lanka Turn Tables on New Zealand
    Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 2016 45 Marsh finds pace to scratch ‘pad rash’ itch MELBOURNE: Having spent much of the home sum- mer suffering “pad rash” from waiting to bat, Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has put the pent- up energy to good use when thrown the ball. With paceman Peter Siddle hampered by an ankle injury, Marsh stepped up to take 4-61 to help close out victory in the second test against West Indies on Tuesday on a Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch offer- ing little for bowlers. High-fives from team mates were no doubt plentiful in the dressing room, with Marsh having played a big part in preventing them all from having to come back on a fifth day to take care of the West Indies tail. His fast bowling colleagues and selectors will also have been impressed with the 24-year-old’s pace. The speed gun clocked some of his deliveries at over 140 kph. Australia coach Darren Lehmann remarked that Marsh could shape as a de facto third seamer for the third and final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground if selectors picked two spinners. “It’s quite flattering NELSON: Tillakaratne Dilshan (R) of Sri Lanka plays a shot in front of New Zealand wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi during the to hear that, but the biggest thing for me is just play- 3rd One Day International cricket match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Saxton Oval in Nelson yesterday. — AFP ing my role,” Marsh told reporters in Melbourne. “Over the last 18 months I’ve worked really hard with (bowling coach) Craig McDermott to try and get Fiery net spell sees S Lanka a few extra K’s (kph) on my bowling and certainly over the last few months I’ve felt like I’m just getting turn tables on New Zealand a bit faster and faster in every game that I play.
