Napier Marist Football Club

A huge congratulations to all our 2026 Unison Medal winners!🏅

The Unison Medal recognises one outstanding performer from each junior team who has shown fair play, a great work ethic and discipline throughout the season.

We’re incredibly proud of all our Marist recipients and the way they’ve represented their teams and our club this year.

Congratulations to all our winners, very well deserved 💚🤍

Just three games remain for our Women’s side as they head into the final bit of their season ⚽️

Get down and show your support as they look to finish the season strongly 💚🤍

That’s a wrap on the winter league for our Div 2 and Div 3 sides ⚽️

Div 2 signed off with a 2–1 win, while Div 3 were edged out 3–2 in their final match of the season.

A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, volunteers and supporters who have been part of both teams throughout the season.

Our Women’s side still have football to come and will be back in action next week 💚🤍

🌧️ JUNIOR FOOTBALL UPDATE | SATURDAY 15 AUGUST

Game on! ⚽🙌

The final fixtures of the junior football season are going ahead this morning!

It’s a little drizzly out there, but conditions are good enough to get the last games of the season played. 💙

With the pitches a little soggy, please keep the sliding to a minimum 🙏🌱 We’d love to look after the grounds and leave the pitches in good shape, especially with the Unison Junior Festival coming up next weekend!

Enjoy the final games of the season! ⚽🌧️

Another weekend of football is here for Napier Marist ⚽

Div 2 and Div 3 are both in action on Saturday afternoon, before our Women’s side round out the weekend on Sunday morning.

Best of luck to all our players, coaches and volunteers representing the club this weekend.

Get along and show your support! 💚🤍

This week’s sponsor shoutout goes to 313 Construction! 💚🏠

A huge thank you to the team at 313 Construction for their continued support of Napier Marist Football Club and, in particular, our Div 3 side.

Support from local businesses like 313 Construction plays a massive part in helping our club continue to grow and provide opportunities for our players each season.

We’re incredibly grateful to have them behind the club. Thank you for supporting Napier Marist! 💚🤍

🌧️ JUNIOR FOOTBALL WEATHER WATCH | SATURDAY 15TH AUGUST

We’re keeping a close eye on the weather and forecast across Hawke’s Bay. 🌧️⚽

We’ll continue to monitor conditions and provide an update by 7.00am tomorrow morning.

Please keep an eye on the Central Football page for the latest information.

Thanks for your patience and stay dry out there! 💙⚽

Before a game, we can hype kids up:
“You’ve got this!”
“Have fun and enjoy the game!”
“I’m so proud of you for all the hard work you’ve put in!”
“Give it your best shot and leave it all on the field!”
“I can’t wait to see you in action!”
“Let’s see that awesome smile and great sportsmanship out there!”
“No matter what the result, I’m proud of you for trying your best!”

Then bring that positive energy on the sidelines by cheering them on, and celebrating their efforts.

But let’s let the coaches handle the instructions of what to do
and where to go - before & during the game.
