2025 Men’s National League – Week 2
Wellington Olympic vs Western Springs
There’s always an angle in the short, sharp National League of Aotearoa and you didn’t have to search far for this one: Central League champs vs Northern League champs. Wakefield Park was the venue. Both teams were coming off victories. Both teams use a variation of 3-4-2-1 as their starting shape – although Western Springs like to refer to it as a 3-2-4-1 which lets you know the attacking intent of their wing-backs. They were unchanged in the outfield from last game, although they did bring back first choice goalkeeper Oscar Mason.
Wellington Olympic made just one change with Justin Gulley taking Noah Boyce’s spot, leading to a few positional tweaks with William Vincent and Isa Prins in the wing-back roles and Jack-Henry Sinclair starting as the striker. Fascinating tactical concession there from Ifill/Quainoo, allowing for a slightly imbalanced formation in order to keep Jordan Hackett under wraps. When Olympic were in possession, it was their normal shape, but out of possession Vincent was dropping deep enough for it to look like a back four, thus allowing the Greeks to more comfortably match up when the Springs wingers got up there.
As for JHS, that idea was all about ensuring they had some serious zip up top so as to keep the Springs back three honest. Can’t allow them to step forward and condense things. Within ten mins, JHS had twice gone close to scoring: once chesting the ball down and striking high from the edge of the box, once intercepting a square pass and driving into the area for a low shot across goal that Oscar Mason tipped away for a corner. Not a huge amount of action beyond that but Olympic were doing most of the running. Oscar Browne had the best early chance for Springs fizzing over the top from the edge of the box.
Olympic thought they’d taken the lead after half an hour when a looping JHS corner kick went deep to Sam Mason-Smith whose header dropped in off the crossbar... except Oscar Mason had been impeded hence it got disallowed. One minute later, Western Springs scored. Quick transition. Ry McLeod with a thumper finish from a tight angle after running onto a pass from an overlapping Oscar Browne. Not so long ago, Browne was a winger/attacking midfielder and now he plays centre-back for the Swans but one of the reasons they love him there is because he still has the ability to stride forward and create moments like that.
All that tactical chat and Wellington Olympic still found themselves behind as the shadow on the sundial neared half-time... until an equaliser emerged out of nowhere. Mason had taken a goal kick short to Aidan Carey who played it back to him when he probably shouldn’t have. A wee bit too casual and Jack-Henry Sinclair pounced with the goal-scoring tackle, basically from on the line. That’s another benefit to having JHS up top.
The pace picked up in the second half with Mason doing well to kick away a Tiahn Manuel shot (both of Manuel’s younger bros, Jackson and Riley, played for Western Springs last year) while McLeod stayed hunting and forced Scott Basalaj into a nice stop from another fizzer of a shot. Hectic stuff. Both sides were asking questions from corner kicks. But it was Western Springs who were doing more – with Caspar McGavin coming on and going close with a header before testing Basalaj’s hands with a running shot later on... Basalaj was definitely the busier goalkeeper in that second half.
And then in the last fifteen minutes it swung again. Isa Prins had been very quiet until he almost buried a headed chance. Set piece after set piece. The crowd was pushing them onwards. Then sure enough Adam Supyk went and won the bloody thing in added time. Of course it began with a corner kick, half-cleared, falling to Supyk to strike on the half-volley. That shot smacked into a teammate but Luke Stoupe (an U20s signing on board from Petone, on club debut) nodded it back to him and the second attempt was golden. Low through traffic and into the net. Pandemonium on the hill. Wellington Olympic won 2-1.
Cool moment there for Adam Supyk considering he scored an own goal last week. The Greeks were so good in the Chatham Cup final but they’ve been a bit slow in these Nats thus far – it was only the last fifteen minutes here that they finally seemed to hit top gear... yet they’ve won two in a row. They probably wouldn’t have won this one without a flawless Scott Basalaj performance in goal. Also Tor Davenport-Petersen made his 150th appearance for Wellington Olympic in this game.
Interesting that after Jordan Hackett was so good in week one, this week it was the opposite winger Ry McLeod who was most involved for Western Springs. Also interesting that they only made one substitution. The Swans have a starting eleven as good as anyone’s but coach Scott Hales isn’t a big rotator and perhaps they don’t have the same impact available on the bench as other squads (Caspar McGavin’s fast emerging reputation aside). Regardless, fix that one sloppy moment at the back and they would not have lost this. Nor would they have lost playing this way against quite possibly any other club in the competition. These are two contending clubs, don’t doubt that for a second.
Wellington Olympic 2-1 Western Springs

Christchurch United vs Miramar Rangers
Here we had two of the most impressive winners from week one, despite neither of them having been regional champions. Christchurch United went up the country to beat Auckland United 2-0 whereas Miramar Rangers may have had a favourable match-up against an understrength Auckland FC Reserves but their 3-0 win didn’t flatter them at all. Originally this game was meant to happen at Christchurch United’s usual home complex but a late switch to English Park meant a thirty minute delay of the kickoff. Unchanged eleven from Miramar. Christchurch United were confident enough to start Joel Stevens on the bench, with Jago Godden jumping into the midfield and Travis Graham – in his final appearance for the club – sliding to defence with Ollie van Rijssel moving to wing-back.
Miramar threw the searching punch after a super bit of control from Owen Smith got linked through several pairs of boots before Jordan Lamb’s blocked shot... if he’d skipped the extra touch that could have been 1-0 in a hurry. As it happens, they’d have to way ten minutes before Sam Gates provided that breakthrough. Nicolas Bobadilla started things by drifting wide and then backheeling infield for Sam Wall who dribbled to the byline and squared across the six yard box for his namesake Sam Gates to convert.
But the Rams weren’t long in answering. Just like last week, the trick was to get Noah Karunaratne carrying the ball forward. He beat a couple challengers and then helped it wide to where Van Rijssel’s chipped cross was headed home by an intercepting Riley Grover at the back stick. Wing-back to wing-back. These teams each kept clean sheets in week one but this meeting was 1-1 after 17 minutes.
Karunaratne continued to thrill although he had a task on his hands trying to evade Brad Whitworth’s defensive attentions. Then just as Chch Utd appeared to be getting a handle on things... they conceded again. Smith with the chipped switch in behind. Lamb’s initial control failed as the ball bounced into his face but that worked out even better for him as he banged it past the keeper. 2-1 to Rangers after 38 minutes and they kept it that way into the break thanks to a sweet save by Jack De Groot off a Shogo Osawa header.
The second half belonged pretty convincingly to Christchurch United. It only took them five minutes to find another equaliser and those sneaky wingbacks were to thank once more. OVR sent in a cross. Miramar only cleared it as far as Tollervey who flipped it across to Grover pushing high. RG gave it a nudge and there it was. Second of the day for that man. And it only got trickier for Miramar when Jackson Cole and Joel Stevens were subbed on. Stevens is the MNL icon there but actually it was 19yo Cole who sparked the goal that put the Rams ahead. His sharp pass out wide sent Godden dashing away. Godden fed Shogo Osawa angling a run across the defensive line. And that man megged the keeper for 3-2.
It should have been four when Karunaratne danced past a couple tackles and set up Osawa only for the Rams’ top scorer to blaze over. It was around that time that Graham picked up a knock which ended his Christchurch United career about ten minutes earlier than he’d have hoped. Great reception as he walked off. Really sweet moment for the South African import who has been with the club for two years – you don’t often get imports building that kind of connection in that space of time. He’ll leave a big hole in this team.
Rangers had their best chance in ages when Albie Francis-Alles got a shot away within a goal-mouth scramble... only for Jago Godden to get his body in the way. Huge game from that bro running the midfield and getting involved in both penalty areas. That could easily have been a third for Miramar but the intrigue ended after 87 minutes when Harry Chote threw his torse at a Cole shot and despite claims that his arms were tucked at his side (they were) the ref wasn’t convinced. Penalty. Joel Stevens did the rest. 4-2 final score in favour of Christchurch United.
Harsh on Rangers with the penalty but they were already losing so it was the finishing blow rather than the decisive one. There was enough time left for Louis Fenton to try and win a penalty back the other way... except he got booked for diving. Martin Bueno also got booked for arguing. Take nothing away from an outstanding second half performance from Christchurch United going from 2-1 down at half-time to 4-2 up at full-time. Godden’s power in the midfield, Karunaratne’s incisive dribbling, Stroud’s commanding defence, Osawa’s sharp movement. Cole and Stevens brought some great energy off the bench too (Cole was subbed back off after getting hurt near the end). Again, Graham will be a loss as he moves on to overseas opportunities but these guys have had two really impressive wins to start things off and they should beat the Wellington Phoenix Reserves next week (depending on how many U20 World Cup players are available). Jury’s still out on Miramar, we should get a better idea after they play Auckland United next. Owen Smith is a baller on the wing though. Learn that name in a hurry because he’s got three assists in two weeks.

Auckland FC Reserves vs Wellington Phoenix Reserves
Okay, settle in now, grab yourself a cuppa, because we’re reached the round’s headline act: the derby has arrived in the National League. Three times these clubs met in the A-League last season and three times Auckland FC came away victorious at the expense of their yellow-and-black rivals. They did split a pair of women’s U17 games a few weeks ago but that doesn’t really count, those were friendlies and it was more like an invitational squad for AFC who have only recently kicked off their women’s Talent Development Centre. There’s some more on those games in here. Which brings us to this first ever meeting of the pair at this level... awkwardly timed so that the best players from both squads were still away at the U20 World Cup. Fred Taylor Park was the venue for an AFC home fixture – and that meant the support on the sidelines was putting a heavy emphasis on the ‘Port’.
Everton O’Leary returned at right-back for AFC and wore the armband (with Carlos Ranui, a former WeeNix prospect, switching to the left side). Ryan Mackay started in central defence. Nathan Martin also got the nod in midfield while Van Fitzharris played off Sam Lack in attack. Dejaun Naidoo’s presence on the wing thus made it four changes and a couple of positional shifts for Luke Casserly’s lads ahead of this one. For the Phoenix, Dylan Gardiner returned from suspension to partner Mac Munro in central defence while Athan Thompson came in at left-back and there was an exciting debut for Joe McIntyre in midfield – that makes him the first player from this year’s NZ U16 squad to play National League (narrowly beating out Benjamin Perez Baldoni who’d emerge off the bench for Auckland FC later in this game). Another funky twist is that each team had a bloke called Mitchell: James Mitchell for AFC, Luke Mitchell for WP. They’re not related but they were teammates at Eastern Suburbs in the 2024 National League before taking diverting paths.
The first couple A-League derbies between this pair were defined by late goals and even in the 6-1 result AFC didn’t score until the 31st minute (though they scored three in ten from that point onwards). This reserves game was different... both teams were on the board after barely quarter of an hour. At first it was all Auckland as a short corner routine between Naidoo and Lack led to a tap-in for Semi Nabenu. Then five minutes later, following near constant AFC pressure with Aston Burns and Dejaun Naidoo also going close (it took a stunner block from Gardiner to keep it at 1-0), the WeeNix won a corner and scored from it. Fell to Gardiner who took a touch then dispatched it top bins. Boom, what a strike. 1-1.
Both goalies, Blake Callinan (AFC) and Eamonn McCarron (WP) were quick off their lines to deal with anything over the top (albeit not always flawlessly). The rain was tumbling down with even Luke Casserly having his brolly up but the heat stayed high on the pitch, the Phoenix having found their confidence with the goal and were now matching the intensity. What it settled into was a stereotypical AFC vs Nix dynamic where Auckland were holding their shape and countering at pace while Wellington had more possession but fewer chances. Fitting the cliches. Here’s a bit of biffo between Everton O’Leary and Luke Flowerdew...
There was plenty more where that came from with tackles whizzing around in the slippery conditions, culminating in a few yellow cards. Nothing that crossed the line though. Just good competitive stuff (and to be honest it was nice to see some bite from the WeeNix). As to the football, Flowerdew and Jack Perniskie each had a few snapshots. Naidoo missed a good chance up the other end. It carried on that way for a long time with the keepers and centre-backs dominating however the AFC counter was always the more likely outlet and sure enough Aston Burns gave The Port something to salute when he won it with a barging run through in the 74th minute...
Check out how he bumps off midfielder Hayden Thomas. Burns is strong as well as rapid and his finish was made of stainless steel. The Nix just didn’t have the sauce to respond in what time was left (although they did score an offside goal). Couldn’t sustain enough ball in the right areas with their squad more stretched by international call-ups than AFC’s. So it goes. That only means that Auckland FC’s perfect derby record has continued into the National League after a 2-1 victory. Lots of good performers for both sides but Ryan Mackay and Semi Nabenu’s CB efforts deserve some hype (Mackay is a menace at the back, man... these AFC scouts know how to pick them). Dylan Gardiner was arguably even better for the Nix. Aston Burns of course, he’s been dangerous in both games. Lewis Partridge made a few things happen for Wellington. Yeah nah, really enjoyable game of footy where the academy team mentality went out the window and the desperate chase for victory was what mattered. Pity we don’t get to do it again until next year.
Auckland FC Reserves 2-1 Wellington Phoenix Reserves
6’ | 1-0 | AFC | Nabenu (Naidoo)
16’ | 1-1 | WP | Gardiner
74’ | 2-1 | AFC | Burns (J.Mitchell)
Western Suburbs vs Coastal Spirit
Last season, there were four instances of a team scoring 5+ goals and three of them involved Coastal Spirit:
Western Springs 6-2 Coastal Spirit
Coastal Spirit 5-0 Western Suburbs
Auckland City 5-1 Coastal Spirit
Wellington Phoenix Reserves 0-5 Western Springs
Two of them were defeats, one was a win. The win was against Western Suburbs and this fixture right here was a rematch of that occasion. Both teams lost in week one, though both were very competitive. Wests went down 3-0 away to Western Springs while Coastal were beaten 2-1 by Birkenhead at home. It’s hard to anticipate how any National League game is going to unfold but sweet jeezus you couldn’t have guessed this one (even though there were some historical indicators).
They played this one at Alex Moore Park due to renovations at Wests’ usual home ground of Endeavour Park. Western Suburbs made one change to their team, bringing Reilly Marlow-Jones into the midfield. Coastal Spirit made a pair of attacking alterations with new addition Derek Tieku up top and also a bit of Jack Mitchell in there too. Very close to what we saw in those encouraging defeats. And for the first few minutes there was no indication of anything funky as the two teams poked and prodded.
Then came an instance in the seventh minute when Kaelin Nguyen fed Tyler Freeman in way too much space over on the left. Freeman rounded the keeper but couldn’t keep his touch on the turf, having to cut back in and round him again before Adam Braman made a genuinely spectacular save with his outstretched foot... but the pattern had been set. Five minutes later, Seb Barton-Ginger dashed up the right wing and his sharp cross found Nguyen wide open at the back post. On 20 minutes, Nguyen busted through again and this time he crossed. The keeper did well to cut out the first ball but Noah Tipene-Clegg crunched home the loose ball.
Quarter of an hour later it was a simple ball over the top from Freeman, dropping deep, that isolated Nguyen against one defender and KN was too fast, beating Braman at his near post. Just so simple, so easy. Two further minutes later the same pair combined again with Nguyen ghosting behind his marker and then flipping it over the keeper to complete his hatty. Coastal were in chaos. Robbie Stanton went to his bench after 40 minutes with Mason Stearn introduced. Liam Cotter would also come on at the break. 4-0 down already, what the heck was going on?
It’s not like Coastal were without chances of their own, they regularly picked at the Wests defence... but nothing they did solved the fact that the wide pace of Wests, especially Nguyen, was shredding them at will. Barton Ginger scored a dipping volley for 5-0 (58’) and then ran all the way around the defence before chipping another beauty of a finish for 6-0 (60’). He should’ve had a hatty later on when he scooped one over the top stretching out in front of him, then he saw an attempt diverted over after a short free kick routine. No hat-trick for SBG on this auspicious day... but Nguyen would grab himself a fourth by reacting quickest after Alifeleti Peini flicked a second-phase ball in behind. Then, would you believe it, time still remained for Ryan Harrison to score an eighth when he pushed up from right-back, fed SBG, and kept on running. Barton-Ginger chopped inside and was blocked but Harrison jumped on the rebound. 8-0 to Western Suburbs.
Wellington Olympic won 7-1 against Manurewa in 2023 and 7-1 against Christchurch United in 2022. This clears both of those. It’s the biggest win in the Men’s National League since Eastern Suburbs beat the WeeNix 8-0 back in 2020-21 (in which Western Springs oldboy Ryan Feutz scored four times). The last time there was a bigger scoreline in the MNL was way back in 2013-14 when Auckland City won 10-0 against Southern United.
Western Suburbs did have a few winter season games where they ran up the scores but not against a team like this, the Southern League champions for crying out loud. Coastal left the pantry door open and let Wests eat whatever they wanted by playing too stretched across the backline, with their fullbacks too high up and their central defenders exposed, without enough pace to combat the zippy running of Kaelin Nguyen and Seb Barton-Ginger. Tyler Freeman didn’t get a goal to match them but the American forward did add two assists doing a great job of linking up. Crazy game of football. It’s so rare that one match-up weakness becomes so decisive. And guess what? Coastal Spirit host Wellington Olympic next week whose forwards are even faster and even better.
Western Suburbs 8-0 Coastal Spirit
12’ | 1-0 | WS | Nguyen (Barton-Ginger)
20’ | 2-0 | WS | Tipene-Clegg
35’ | 3-0 | WS | Nguyen (Freeman)
37’ | 4-0 | WS | Nguyen (Freeman)
58’ | 5-0 | WS | Barton-Ginger
60’ | 6-0 | WS | Barton-Ginger (Tipene-Clegg)
80’ | 7-0 | WS | Nguyen (Peini)
90’ | 8-0 | WS | Harrison
Birkenhead United vs Auckland City
There are bye weeks in the Men’s National League now. Mercifully, Auckland City were given theirs in week one after they returned from a 3-0 loss against Pyramids FC in Egypt for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup - possibly the club’s last in a very long line of FIFA tournament participations depending on what happens with this OFC Pro League thingamajig. This has been a ridiculously busy year for the Navy Blues entailing all sorts of challenges and that’s caused their domestic form to be all sorts of inconsistent. They barely qualified for the National League at all... but this is Auckland City we’re talking about. Their final task for 2025 is to try defend their status as MNL champions and it wouldn’t surprise anyone (though it might disappoint a few – specifically nine other clubs) if they did exactly that.
It was Birkenhead United at Shepherds Park to begin with. Birko picked an identical team to last week other than Rohun Kawale taking over for Liam Bailey... as he had done when Bailey got injured during the first half of the win against Coastal. Auckland City can have the full line-up exposure since this is our first sight of them. They went with Nathan Garrow in goal; back four of Jerson Lagos, Adam Mitchell, Christian Gray, and Nathan Lobo; Mario Ilich holding midfield behind Gerard Garriga and David Yoo; Matt Ellis and Orlando Thorpe out wide; Myer Bevan through the middle. Only one curious selection and that was 19yo Thorpe debuting after switching over from East Coast Bays. This, of course, was also a rematch of last year’s grand final... albeit there were just three starters in common for Birko (Dino Botica, Leon van den Hoven & Curtis Hughes) while ACFC had only had six (Mitchell, Lobo, Ilich, Garriga, Lagos & Bevan).
The last time these sides met, David Yoo scored a stoppage time winner for ACFC (one of several clutch goals without which they wouldn’t even be here). Both Northern League meetings ended 2-1 to the home side and Dino Botica scored in each of them. They went to extra time in the 2024 MNL final. No reason not to expect another close one, hence why Birkenhead’s early goal after ten minutes felt so consequential. Sam Philip had drifted wide and slammed in a low cross that picked out his strike partner Curtis Hughes with his back to goal. Hughes was able to wiggle a shot away which Garrow couldn’t hold. The balcony loved it. Birko had the lead.
Never ones to get flustered, Auckland City carried on like nothing had happened, still working the ball around and trying to find solutions to the way that the Birko formation was squeezing them in. Smith had to slap a David Yoo free kick over the top and then was sharp again to deny Christian Gray from close range. Gray has scored some famous goals this year and he’ll have been even more frustrated about not getting better contact on that attempt after Birko went long and direct with the ACFC defence out of shape. Lagos and Thorpe got stuck in a 2v2 which led to Thorpe grabbing Sam Philip and throwing him aside. They were thirty metres away from goal and Lagos has some heels on him but the ref said it was last man stuff so Orlando Thorpe was red carded, later bro.
Yellows followed in quick succession for Gerard Garriga (AC), Sammy Khan (BU), Dan Preece (BU), and Christian Gray (AC) as the pace stayed high and the tackles continued to fly. Even with ten men, City can still work some magic – it’s a weird tendency of ACFC’s that they often play better after they concede, as though it takes something like that to snap them into gear. But aside from one snappy effort from Bevan, Birko had were in their happy place. Their back three allowed them to be extra aggressive in doubling up and winning the ball with young lads Nathan Rostron and Isaac Bates doing plenty of heavy work.
Auckland City were always in the game at 1-0. David Yoo was the man looking like he could make it happen as more and more of the action took place in the Birko half. There was a contentious moment with 25 to go when Ellis went down under the challenge of Rostron, who’d already been booked, but instead it was Ellis who saw yellow for simulation. Could’ve been 10v10 otherwise. That didn’t happen and nor did an Auckland City equaliser. What did happen was that substitute Alex Connor-McLean shook free in the box and then saw his cut-back turned into his own net by Christian Gray. ACM then rocked the post with a long shot before repeated breaks eventually led to a third when Connor-McLean sprinted through from halfway and dinked past Garrow for 3-0. Auckland City ran out gas in the last twenty. Birkenhead absorbed pressure when they had to yet always kept up their counter-attacking threat, then put the ball in the net a few more times. That’ll do it.
It’s way too early to say... but this doesn’t feel like a National League season where any team is going to run away with the competition. Two weeks in, Birkenhead, Wellington Olympic, and Christchurch United have won 2/2 and none of those teams have had it easy. The Greeks needed a stoppage time winner against Springs. The Rams had to come from behind twice against Miramar. Birko were trailing at half-time against Coastal last round. Not to mention that they’ve all got to play each other. Teams can drop points and stay in contention.
Gotta love what Birko have shown so far... especially with Kian Donkers and Michael Suski (arguably their two best attackers) still to add to this squad. They’re looking dominant at the back and they clearly have the depth to take them to ninety minutes (and beyond). Alex Connor-McLean’s busy cameo here proved that much. Auckland City copped a rude one with how things panned out here but they’ll bounce back, they always do. By the way, Orlando Thorpe was the 38th different player they’ve used in competitive action this year. Will they get to 40 before the year is over?
