His twin brother Jesse scored a try in that final which the twins' grandfather and former New Zealand Maori and Magpies halfback Hepa Paewai saw before zapping over to McLean Park to witness the other twin's hattrick.
"Hopefully the Bay under-19 coaches were here too. I want a starting berth in that team now the club season has finished," Paewai added.
On Saturday's form it would have to be a given.
Havelock North co-captain and winger Jacob Kennedy said the 37-15 hiding Taradale gave his team during the Nash Cup was the turning point in their season. They remained unbeaten for the next 15 games.
"We're a bunch of misfits but our coaching staff kept us grounded," Kennedy added referring to former Magpies Davis Norman, Richard Kinnear, Luke Ottley and Simon Halford who wanted to focus on the celebrations before making a decision on their availability for next year.
All of the Havelock North players deserve praise for their polished performance, particularly during the first half when they established a 30-0 lead. Fullback Shannan Chase was always a threat on attack while centre Adam Bradey, who collected a fourth Maddison Trophy winner's medal, displayed the benefits of his vast experience.
Halford's work with the villagers scrum paid off big time. While the Taradale forwards enjoyed some memorable patches in the second half the villagers were in cruise mode by then.
Prop Joe Simeon and lock Reon Watts provided quality impact off the Taradale subs bench. Their loose forward trio of captain Andrew Gardner, fellow flanker Jaaron Fritz and No 8 Kaleb Sweet all had dominant moments as individuals but not enough as a unit when they could have done more damage.
First five-eighth Manihera Eden's never-say-die approach impressed but his Havelock counterpart J'ndre Liebenberg had the upperhand courtesy of the dominance of his forwards and regular quality ball.
Taradale co-coach Blair Cross agreed poor ball retention proved to be his troops downfall, particularly in the first half and as expected the villagers were quick to capitalise on spilled ball.
While the loss wasn't the send off he wanted after three years with the team he said his players can still hold their heads high after winning the Nash Cup with an unbeaten run and helping their club secure the Black and White Shield for the Bay's top club two weeks before the end of the season.
