Last year I reported that the renovation work undertaken for the clubrooms had • Mike Keenan (Cricket) been completed and with outstanding results, providing us with a home we can be proud of and whose patronage has been outstanding. • Audrey Kendall (Tennis) Just at the end of our summer season Covid 19 struck as the global pandemic • Glynis Lye (Netball) spread throughout the world and found its way to New Zealand. Our St Patricks Day celebration proved to be our last chance for a catch up just prior • Paul McRae (Rugby) to lockdown happening and even that event was held with some trepidation. • Glenda Mills (Soccer) Many of us felt a huge disconnection from normal life during the lockdown period so it was with a lot of relief that we as a country travelled down alert levels and • John McOviney (Sports Club) got back to playing sport, initially in limited formats and latterly playing largely as • Dave Meiring (Cricket) normal. My sincere thanks to all administrators for their at times innovative ways of facilitating the recommencement of sport and the reconnection with our club and • Phil Metcalf (Rugby) clubrooms, and to Paul O’Brien, Phil Metcalf and their team for making sure this could happen and in a safe way. Well done! • Phil Monk (Rugby) On a sad note our senior life member Owen Gleeson passed away since my last • Paul O’Brien (Rugby) report. Owen’s presence and wisdom will be sorely missed. • Beth Quigan (Netball) On the playing front, many of our codes as you will see from their reports have performed well. We have extensive playing numbers which are now complemented • Martin Skinner (Soccer) by a wonderful facility. Junior numbers in most codes remain at a high level, which is outstanding for the future of our club. One of our greatest strengths are the • John Sullivan (Rugby) administrators your work is much appreciated. • Matthew Toynbee (Cricket) At the time of writing this report Covid 19 still threatens our shores and its effects are still deeply felt around the world so I ask you all to do the basics and look after • Andy Trow (Tennis) yourselves and your fellow New Zealanders so that we can all enjoy our freedoms • Keith Wedlock (Cricket) including life with your Marist sports family. Keith Wedlock Chairman 3 4 EDITORIAL 2020 was a Stirling year for Marist Sports Codes. Not only did they cut their financial cloth to align with the COVID economy but everyone maintained a healthy financial outcome. On top of that all Codes administered their sport to ensure members enjoyed as much activity as the Government restriction could allow. As New Zealand’ largest Sports Club it was a brilliant outcome and a leading example to our Region I acknowledge the Board in their foresight in providing financial assistance with catering, forgiving the annual affiliation fees and raising funds to assist with ground hireage etc. Enjoy the read. Paul O’ Brien Editor CLUB CHAPLAIN The past year has seen the whole world shaken by the Coronavirus. It has taken a huge effort here in New Zealand to stay relatively free of contamination. It has brought to the fore new ways of working, socialising and taking recreation. Participating in sport has also needed adherence to the protocols and requirements demanded by the Coronavirus. We have all had to adjust and cope as best we can! Especially with this difficult situation in mind I once again congratulate and thank all those in administration, coaching, and participation at the Marist Sports Club for the past year. You have provided an environment and structure for many to take part in sport and benefit from such an important ingredient for their wellbeing. Well done! I wish everyone a very blessed and holy Christmas and an enjoyable and safe holiday season! Monsignor Brian Walsh Chaplain 5 THE SHAMROCK CLUB Shamrock Club members continue to help create a funding pool to support Marist Sports Codes and well performed Manawatu sportspeople so that they can compete and/or gain experience at a higher level either in NZ or overseas or to obtain specialist coaching. This year we are pleased to welcome new Shamrock Club members Smart Phone Repairs NZ Ltd, Top Cat Contracting Ltd and Kristin Robinson, Equine Dental Technician. We also note business changes to Telfer Young Manawatu (formerly Blackmore Group) and Vince Basile Plumbing Co Ltd., a Branch of Foleys. As usual the 2020 St Patrick’s function celebrated this annual family event and the presentation of the Marist Sports Club awards. We are always pleased to see so many sponsors attending with club officials. The Covid 19 pandemic could have badly affected Shamrock Club membership this year thus limiting the available funding.
