New Zealand Marist Rugby Football Federation

The First New Zealand Marist Colts Team (1974)

The inaugural New Zealand Marist Colts team took the field on a muddy Petone Recreation Ground in Wellington on Saturday, September 28, 1974. They triumphed over a Wellington senior second and third division representative side with an 11-6 victory.

OrganizersThis historic match was organized by Ray Smith, fondly known as "Mr. New Zealand Marist Rugby," and John Patete, who was the Secretary of the New Zealand Marist Rugby Football Federation at the time.

Selection CriteriaThe selection process for the Colts team, a novel approach, involved representation from every Marist club across the country. Each club, from Invercargill to Whangarei, had the opportunity to field one or two players in the national Marist Colts side. This approach has been enthusiastically supported by both smaller and larger clubs throughout the Marist rugby network for the past 50 years.

Coaching and ManagementThe 1974 team was coached by Mick Horan, who had previously captained the Wellington Marist club to Jubilee Cup victories from 1962 to 1964 before moving into a successful coaching career. The team was managed by Eddie Comerford and Brian Mulvey, both of whom had strong South Island roots. Comerford, a lawyer from the West Coast, had played in Wairoa Marist's first-ever game in 1944.

Notable PlayersThe first NZMC team included future rugby knight Sir Gordon Tietjens (Rotorua), along with A Bartlett (Nelson), LJ Baker (Te Awamutu), MJ Donoghue (Hamilton), J Gardiner (Gisborne), RJ Gundry (Ashburton), G Hooper (Christchurch), R Jackson (Wellington), M Karetai (Dunedin), T Karipa (Wanganui), PK Kenny (Masterton), C McDonald (Invercargill), BH (Bernie) Monk (Greymouth), PA Olsen (captain – Putaruru), ML Priest (Morrinsville), JD Reilly (Palmerston North), M Richards (Auckland), D Story (Wairoa), A Vickers (Whakatane), J Wallace (Hokitika), WJ Wootton (Hutt), and G Yortt (Hastings).

Impact and LegacyThe first NZMC Wellington game became a unifying project for the approximately 30 Marist clubs scattered across New Zealand. However, the selection criteria meant that top young Marist players, such as John Kirwan, the Brooke brothers, Bernie McCahill, and Terry Wright, were often unavailable due to commitments with first-class representative fixtures.

Despite this, other notable players, including Dion Waller (NZMC 1993), Saimone Taumoepeau (NZMC 2001), and Shannon Michael Frizell (NZMC 2014), represented the Marist Colts before earning All Black jerseys. Additionally, future All Black coach Sir Steve Hansen and international test referee Paddy O’Brien played for the Colts in the late 1970s.

FundingThe New Zealand Marist Colts were initially funded through levies from the national Marist rugby club collective. With the advent of professional rugby in 1996, partial funding came from hotel pokie machine trusts, coordinated by figures like A Meachen and N Murphy.

Coaches and ManagersProminent Colts coaches over the years included Ian MacRae and Neil Thimbleby (Napier), Sir Gordon Tietjens (Bay of Plenty), All Black prop Steve McDowall, and Maori All Black winger Pat Ransley (Gisborne). Regular tour contributors like M Donoghue (Whanganui) and long-serving NZ Marist president Richie McCrea played significant roles in coaching, managing, and player liaison.
