2026 Men’s National League – Week 4
Miramar Rangers vs Auckland City
Three rounds down and Miramar Rangers were sitting at the summit. Very early days but two wins and a draw had given them an excellent start, particularly the flowing 4-1 win down at Ferrymead Bays last week inspired by Owen Smith who contributed to all four goals. With Auckland City having rallied back for a very late leveller against Wellington Olympic in their previous game, that gave us two undefeated sides for this clash at David Farrington Park. Tantalising match-up... especially when you recall that Miramar actually beat ACFC 3-0 in this corresponding fixture last season.
Same eleven for Miramar as did the damage against Ferrymead. Couple changes for Auckland City though, with round three hero Dylan Manickum not making the trip. Nathan Lobo made his first appearance of the term coming in at left-back while Fergus Gillion and Gerard Garriga were added to the midfield. Ryan Watson also returned to the eleven. All set for a great contest... but first someone had better nail down that net. You never know when it’ll come in handy having a registered builder in the line-up...
You won’t be shocked to read that Miramar’s strategy was to get the ball to Owen Smith early and often. But in the same way that Mike Tyson once said that everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face, any genius concoction for beating Auckland City becomes a whole lot harder to implement when they score an early goal. Ninth minute of the game and Nathan Lobo latched onto a headed clearance and ripped one in off the post from twenty yards out.
City are a dangerous beast when they’re able to play from in front, they’ve been through a few coaches in recent years and yet that suffocating possession identity never changes. They hold the ball, they draw you out, and they punish mistakes. They also counterpress really well. But Miramar are a good team and Smith wasn’t far off with a free kick that he’d won himself (Christian Gray had been booked for tripping him on the move). He also played a sensational through ball for Adam Hewson although, as with last week, Louie Caunter was swift off his line and got on him in a flash. Matt Oliver, having put his hammer down, was equally sharp to deny Pavel Osmančik at close range, while Regont Murati and Michal Douděra both went close to doubling the lead as well.
Miramar found a bit more encouragement to begin the second half, though again it felt as though it had to be Owen Smith or it wasn’t going to happen. ACFC were too slick with that back four and the protective midfield supplements of Mario Ilich... so after Watson drew a save out of Oliver and a few fouls began to tally up in both directions it fell upon Miramar to change something. On came Liam Shearer and Jordan Lamb. It’s funny how much a goal changes things because without that out-of-the-blue strike from Lobo, the same questions about the lack of final ball quality would have been true of ACFC who were much better at working into shooting positions but hadn’t made the most of anything else since the goal.
A cheeky snapshot from Lamb did catch the outside of the post. Rangers weren’t going down without having a swing. However, it was a substitute in the other colours who eventually scored a delicious goal in stoppage time to ensure that Auckland City took three points with them on the plane back to Auckland, thanks to a very controlled, organised, and disciplined performance. Sometimes an early goal makes all the difference, aye? Miramar didn’t even have the dignity of a consolation goal as Mario Ilich cleared a Connor Gaul header off the line in the final moments.
There weren’t as many attacking third highlights as would have been preferable yet this was an enjoyable showing from ACFC – one for the purists. They had Gillion and Garriga both getting into advanced areas while Douděra and Watson were tucking in, making for a very fluid and smothering Navy Blues. They also offered up a few minutes for Bono Kačurov via the bench – a 17yo forward with good size and strength for his age and a sweet touch. Plus he’s got Croatian heritage. Somehow they’ve already found their Stipe Ukich regen. This result deals Miramar their first defeat and leaves just two teams remaining without a notch in the loss column. Those two teams play each other in round five.

Wellington Olympic vs Eastern Suburbs
That Miramar game ended and attention immediately shifted across town for Wellington Olympic vs Eastern Suburbs. The Greeks were seeking to take the good stuff from almost beating Auckland City away while the Lilywhites were coming off their bye week having lost to ACFC before that while very uncharacteristically conceding four times. Eastern Suburbs brought Eber Ramirez and Tyler Lissette into their starting eleven. The only change for Olympic was Josh Zatorski getting a crack in midfield... though there was of course some difference in the dugout because after Ekow Quainoo was relieved of his job and then Taylor Hall-Jones got sent off in his first game as interim coach. Jeremy Field and Matt Calcott were listed as coaches on the teamsheet, so presumably one of them took the reins. Three different gaffers in three consecutive games.
This was a stylistic clash. Wellington Olympic love to play fast and direct whereas Eastern Suburbs are defensively proficient and very organised with how they like to build up (though are neither compact nor negative about it). You could see that from the outset as ESAFC sought to get the ball wide and deliver, either in the air or for underlapping runners, whereas Olympic simply wanted to go forward by any means. But there are some common non-negotiables between these teams hence it was no shocker that the referee was under more pressure than either goalkeeper in the opening 25 minutes as the battle for territory ensued. Scott Basalaj did make a good stop from a Tino Contratti header inside that spell, otherwise not a lot going on in the attacking thirds with both sets of centre-backs dominating their contests.
That was until Kailan Gould booted a defensive clearance down the field to where Gianni Bouzoukis was running. Some clever movement wrapping behind Noah Billingsley caused the Suburbs defender to slip over and that had Bouzoukis running it straight at a retreating Contratti which was never going to end well for the Lilywhites. Bouzoukis breezed straight past him and then finished with the poise of a striker who has scored 129 goals for his current club (one short of equalling the record). Billingsley stayed down for quite a while after that slip – may have been that he actually had his heels clipped, may have been an ankle twist, may have been a ploy to get the play called back, may have been all of the above. Didn’t look to be moving well straight afterwards but he did last the ninety minutes.
Scrappiness resumed from there. Lots of heavy challenges, lots of complaints to the referee. For Eastern Suburbs that was simply a continuation from the five yellow cards they collected against ACFC in the previous match... and that’s something they’re going to need to be more careful with because it spoiled what was still a very close game where, aside from the Bouzoukis goal, it was Eastern Subs who’d probably come closer to scoring. They would have been well in this contest had they kept their heads but alas their heads were not kept because Eber Ramirez went sprigs up and late on Will Vincent at the start of the second half. Initially given as a yellow, then upgraded to a red after consultation with the assistants. Don’t really see how there could be any arguments, to be honest.
Ten men against Wellington Olympic is begging for punishment... though it wasn’t all happy days for the Greeks because Bouzoukis pulled up in plenty of pain after jumping for a free kick delivery and had to be subbed immediately – hopefully a rolled ankle rather than an achilles tear. Leave that one for the doctors. Ignacio Machuca came on for Suburbs around the same time and promptly drew a very good save out of Basalaj to almost level it against the odds. Then Basalaj punched the resulting corner away and Olympic gassed it down the other end where Luke Stoupe, only just on in place of Bouzoukis, scored a screamer of biblical proportions...
Goals don’t come much better than that.
Roughly five minutes later, Hoy fed Gould into the area where he chopped inside and got chopped in return. Olympic’s specialist penalty-taking centre-back Ben Mata stepped up to take it while Jack de Groot went through the usual goalkeeping tactics of jumping around and trying to make a distraction of himself... during which he dislodged the crossbar from the goal-frame and was booked as a consequence. Kailan Gould had to jump on someone’s shoulders to put it back in place while Mata, unfazed, bounced the football around and practised his jump shot. And once they got it sorted, he buried it for 3-0. Tag that one as a Classic Moment in the NZ National League.
Jack-Henry Sinclair came on and had a shot cleared off the line by Billingsley. He also laid one on a platter for Stoupe, in search of a second, but De Groot made an unreal save scrambling across towards his back post, then another to thwart the same bloke from a later 1v1. JDG has developed into one heck of a gloveman... very unusual to see him having to pick the ball out of the net as often as he has done these last two games. He’d have to do so once more before this game was over because Luke Stoupe got his own back when he took a sumptuous first touch around the advancing JDG after Sinclair hit him with an early ball in behind. Empty net, no worries. 4-0 to the Greeks, how about that?
The scoreline was exaggerated by the red card, can’t deny that. It had been finely balanced at 1-0 when Ramirez got reckless and only in the last half hour did Olympic run away with it – discipline was the issue for the Lilywhites, who picked up five yellows in their previous game and topped that this time with five yellows and a red. Believe it or not, the eight goals they’ve conceded in those two fixtures are only one shy of the total amount of goals that got past them during 18 Northern League matches. Crazy stuff. This keeps them winless after three matches.
Three of those Olympic goals came from counter attacks that began deep in their own half (and the other was a penalty). They actually should have scored a fifth when Stoupe missed the target with only the keeper to beat from up close, spoiling a chance for his hatty in the final minutes. Still had a superb impact off the bench though. Lots of good performers for the Greeks who stayed in the grind until the red and then made hay while the sun shone. Ben Mata and Adam Supyk were strong at the back – big game for Mata, this was his 200th appearance for the club and his 150th as captain. He also made it 43/48 from the penalty spot in his time (he’s scored 73 goals in those 200 games overall, including a rebound from one of those rare spot kick misses). Nobody could keep Luke Stoupe out of the game after he was subbed on. Kailan Gould and Gavin Hoy each contributed assists from their creative warehouse. Even though they couldn’t hang on for the win last week, these past two games (since Taylor Hall-Jones took over as interim coach) have been much more like the Greeks of old.

Cashmere Technical vs Auckland FC Reserves
The A-League season began for Auckland FC with an encouraging 3-1 win over Melbourne City at Mt Smart on Saturday arvo. Fantastic crowd of 20k in attendance as Lachlan Bayliss scored a couple sumptuous goals on debut while his namesake Brook added a third. Luka Vicelich was really good in only his second ever ALM start, having come up through the Reserves, while there were debuts off the bench for Pro League veterans Isa Prins and Dan Normann. Hints along the way of how new coach Pedro Moreira intends to adapt the team’s playing style to be a little more malleable in possession. Then the following day, everyone who wasn’t injured and wasn’t involved in the A-League game hopped on the plane for Christchurch to kit up for the Ressies.
That meant... well, it meant the same two scholarship blokes as last week: Marley Leuluai and Aaron Cartwright (it’s not a big squad after all). There was also another start for 15yo central defender Luke Carter. NZ U20s winger Dejaun Naidoo made his first appearance of the campaign, remember how good he was in the 2025 National League. Eli Jones replaced the injured Liam Hill in goal same as he did in the 2-2 draw against Auckland United a week ago. Little bit curious to see Harley Hill rotated to the bench after scoring in three straight although that did give Charlie Hale a chance to lead the line. On the other side, Cashmere Tech had picked the same eleven three weeks in a row but defeat against Napier City may have trigged a couple rethinks with Lachlan McIsaac in at fullback and striker Rory Hibbert given a start up front alongside Garbhan Coughlan.
Last time that Tech played at Garrick Park, they were 2-0 up after four minutes on the way to a 10-0 win against the Wellington Phoenix Reserves. They were a little slower out of the gates this time... it took them a whole seven minutes to go two up. First goal was a penalty after Coughlan had jumped on a loose ball in the area and been hacked by Matt D’Hotman who didn’t even know he was there until their shins collided. Coughlan smoothly sent Eli Jones the wrong way. Then a loose pass from Carlos Ranui went straight to Hibbert who fed Coughlan who fed Lyle Matthysen who rustled the net with a thumping finish dashing inwards from his left wing.
That didn’t take long. But before you get any ideas, no this did not reach double figures. It didn’t need to... AFC had already made two critical mistakes via the fullbacks who’d been so awesome last week, digging themselves a hole that it was unlikely they’d be able to climb out of. It nearly got worse when Lyle Matthysen whacked one off the crossbar soon after and then Zander Edwards missed a header from within the six yard box.
Credit to the young’uns though, after that difficult initial period they were able to get the air conditioning working to cool things off. Much of that was down to Cashmere Tech taking it easy although AFC certainly steadied things too – Marley Leuluai got on the ball in the middle, James Mitchell and Luke Carter stepped up from the back. It kinda looked like they should’ve gotten a penalty when Nick Murphy leaned all the way into a dribbling Naidoo and squashed him to the ground. Ref said nah bro. But Naidoo and Cartwright both kept dribbling and if the final deliveries from the boys in blue and black had been sharper then who knows they might have gotten a goal back before the break.
Two goals down and having steadied the ship, AFC had a go at it by subbing Harley Hill and Nathan Martin on at half-time (granted, Cartwright was one of those replaced). Lo and behold, within a couple of minutes Hill had already had two half-chances and Auckland FC were keeping some nice possession in good areas. Would have gotten really interesting if they’d scored next... but of course Garbhan Coughlan had to teach the kids another lesson when Carter gave him a step too much room in the area and he whipped a finish across his body. It’s the definition of fine margins going up against Coughlan. Ninth goal in four games for GC. Sixth assist for Lyle Matthysen in the same amount of time.
The last twenty minutes were a matter of formalities after that. Terrible start from the AFC Ressies but pretty good thereafter, just couldn’t quite get the last pass or shot to click against a very punishing opponent with the runaway MVP leader in their ranks (you can guess who that refers to). Still winless after four games and they’ve now matched the goals conceded tally that they had in the full ten games last year. But lots to like from within all that. Naidoo and Cartwright posed threats. Harley Hill gave them some direction when he came on. Luke Carter looks like an incredible prospect.
Back to winning ways for Cashmere Tech and back to the top of the standings after getting the job done early and then coasting on the back of their excellent defence. Guys like Coughlan and Mathysen get the hype but Danny Kane is a unit in defence and Pieter-Taco Bierema in goal is as steady as they come. You get the feeling they had more goals in them if they needed them but they were polite about it. Coughlan has three assists to go with his nine goals, by the way. It’s a treat to watch that man play football every week.

Auckland United vs Ferrymead Bays
Ferrymead Bays had their Welcome To The National League game last week when they got whacked 4-1 at home by Miramar Rangers... but they were very good in the two games before that, so the challenge as they travelled all the way north to Keith Hay Park in Auckland was to recapture that version of themselves. Which, for the most part, they did. Unchanged goalkeeper, defence, and midfield for them as has been the case in every game. First MNL starts for Joel Newsome and Luca Marson further forward though.
Their hosts, Auckland United, were undefeated after three rounds albeit draws against both A-League academy sides weren’t nearly as flattering as the 7-1 win against Napier City. Freddie Martin got his second start in goal as coach Ben Sippola keeps the rotation going with the gloves. Adama Coulibaly and Ben Wallace also came into the eleven after strong showings off the bench last time. Coulibaly in midfield (loving seeing him return to that position) and Wallace, of course, right up topskees.
Auckland United appreciated the opportunity to really get their defensive line high up the pitch against a compact opposition shape. They worked some nice things through their midfield... granted without very many clear shots at goal on the end of it. They got better as the game went along – the two closest chances coming in the closing minutes of the opening stanza. There was Jack Beer with a free kick that Evan Ovendale was able to push over the crossbar on the stretch. Then there was Wallace whacking one off the framework on the spin from about twelve yards.
That’s closer than Bays had gotten in that time, however they weren’t without encouragement either. They were knuckling down at the back but they also had runners going the other way. Their best moment of the half was probably when Newsome nearly pounced after Martin misjudged a bouncing ball. Both Abdi Khaled and Adama Coulibaly were booked in the first half for AUFC which is not really what you want against a counter-attacking team. As the whistle for half-time sounded, it felt like this might be one of those First Team To Blink situations where a mistake would be the difference. Either that or something magical.
Give it another twenty minutes of footy and it still felt that way... which was fine by Ferrymead Bays. They’d surely have taken a 0-0 draw at kickoff, playing away in Auckland for the first time during this National League run. Not that they were settling for it – having subbed on Treye Butler and Jacob Killick on the hour. With Auckland United having also dipped into their bench options, this game was right there for the taking... whereupon Oliver Campbell provided that moment of magic that we’d been waiting for.
Much better than the game being decided by an error. Or worse, a dreaded 0-0 draw. Ferrymead Bays already had one of those in week one. We forgave them because it was their first game at this level but a second goalless draw in a league famous for hardly ever having goalless draws... look, if they’d had two in the same season then NZ Football would have had to banish them.
Naturally, that goal changed the state of the game by forcing Ferrymead Bays to go searching... which played into Auckland United’s hands as their press came into effect. Ten minutes later, Will Mendoza delivered a fine finish from just inside the area for his sixth of the season (four of which came in one game) and there you go. United actually had a couple more chances to add to that. Ferrymead had a couple wee hints themselves. Nothing stuck and therefore 2-0 was how it finished.
Guts to Bays who dug in their heels and got most of the way towards a result, showing the grittiness that was on display from them against Eastern Suburbs and Wellington Olympic. Luke Pritchard and Noa Prestel led the way from the back. But they were undone by a very, very good goal from Oliver Campbell – who had an excellent game for AUFC at right-back, as did Leo Hall on the other side. Big energy from those lads. Adama Coulibaly was excellent as the holding midfielder too. Not an easy three points by any stretch of the imagination but United did always seem the more likely candidates to whip something up and having done so they now sit second in the standings with two wins and two draws. The Dominion Road Derby is up next.
Auckland United 2-0 Ferrymead Bays

81’ | 2-0 | AU | Mendoza (Beer)
Birkenhead United vs Napier City Rovers
Champs of the Northern League versus champs of the Central League. Both have had up and down starts to their National League efforts but both won in week three to get the vehicles pointed in the right direction. Shepherds Park in Beach Haven was the venue, where kickoff was delayed after some morning flight cancellations. Couple key absences for both sides: Birko were without Monty Patterson, Napier City’s Jim Hoyle still hasn’t recovered from his knock a couple weeks ago. That meant room for Rayhan Carlson-Du Toit to step into the striker’s role for Birkenhead following his influential work off the bench last week, where he scored the winner against the WeeNix. Shiv Nair was the other change for Birko. Napier City made one alteration from the win over Cash Tech with Caleb Hunt called into the back three.
This was a wonderful occasion for aficionados of the long throw. Must have been at least twenty of them launched into the respective penalty areas. Defenders had to be on their toes at all times, shoulders braced. Seconds balls would be crucial. These are two sides who don’t hesitate to go after it and the end to end consequences of that were on display immediately with Dion Buckingham putting a header onto the crossbar for Birko in the third minute (probably via a defensive deflection). Ten mins later, it was Buckingham who fired a deep pass over the top that caught the Rovers defence a step too high and Josh Redfearn got in behind. Took a touch to go around the keeper and was clipped for a penalty. Having conceded the foul, William Tønning made immediate amends by not only saving Redfearn’s spot kick but then blocking the rebound attempt too. That’s his second penalty save of the season.
It was a difficult game to get a feel for because of all the set pieces. Long throws and corners and free kicks and even a penalty. Couple cards in there. Midway through the first half the ref had already had to call the captains across for a cheeky word. Napier City had a couple hopeful shots at goal before Devin Slingsby curled one in from the wing for Birko, only to have it (fairly) ruled out for obstruction on the keeper. Dino Botica cleaned him out so can’t really complain. But it was certainly Birkenhead who were going closest. Carlson-Du Toit would glance one off the post latching onto a shanked clearance in the box... meaning Birko hit the sheds for half-time having struck the crossbar, struck the post, missed a penalty, and had a goal disallowed. All they needed was an open goal miss and a goal-line clearance and they would’ve had bingo.
The fans on the balcony wouldn’t have to wait much longer for something to shout about. Less than five mins after the resumption, Slingsby chipped a ball towards the back post where a defender got the first contact ahead of Buckingham but it was gentle contact and Josh Redfearn swooped in to finish from six yards. Down on the chest and then bang with the right boot. Can’t say it hadn’t been coming.
The question was whether Napier City would have anything in response and, well, they didn’t. Closest they came to scoring was a Liam Schofield volley off his left that was about a metre away from being a goal of the season candidate. That back three of Dion Buckingham, Dino Botica, and Christian Rodriguez was imperious, forever busting things up when Rovers went long... and if they tried to progress through the midfield they were getting hustled there too. Particularly after Birko went to their bench to restore some legs in a very physical game, something that Napier City lacked the same depth to be able to do. It was two substitutes who combined for the clincher at the end: Hamed Basiri with the intercept and driving run to set up Kian Donkers for a tap-in at the back stick. Rovers battled hard, particularly with how they defended their own 18-yard box, though they lacked a little polish.
This is much more like the Birkenhead United side that went undefeated throughout the Northern League. Two clean sheet wins in a row where they kept their goalkeeper Oliver Pocock almost unchallenged. Should have scored a few more goals both in this game and the WeeNix game (although due respect to the defences that they faced) and that squad depth is something serious. They did this with a handful of injuries too. With AFC Reserves and Ferrymead up next, Birko should keep this winning streak going and put themselves right there in final contention like we assumed they would be before the 4-0 thumping at the hands of Cashmere Tech. Meanwhile, Napier City Rovers have now lost both games in Auckland which sucks for them because they’ve got two more to come (AFC Reserves and Auckland City)... the quirks of the draw have given them 4/5 Northern League away games.
