Another unbeaten record has fallen. Christchurch United have been looking imperious this year but they got popped 2-1 by Coastal Spirit on Sunday in a crazy finish.

Auckland United have done the business at the Oceania Champions League. Having progressed easily through the group stage, they met Henderson Eels (Solomon Islands) in the semis and scored three times in the opening seven minutes…

This is where we take a cheeky excursion to Tahiti where the OFC Champions League is taking place. Auckland United had their 55-game unbeaten streak snapped just prior to leaving but they’ve already started a new streak.

It wasn’t the most notable defeat of the weekend’s footy but woah Auckland City lost to the Auckland FC Reserves. Jonty Bidois scored the decisive goal with fifteen to go, right after Jerson Lagos had been sent off for City.

Wellington Olympic’s quest for a fifth-consecutive Central League title is going swell. They’ve won five out of five and were as convincing as it gets with an 8-0 victory away against last-placed North Wellington on Saturday.

Busy times up North. They always are over Easter Weekend. Busy times often mean crazy times and that’s exactly what we got with a full slate of Northern League fixtures held on Good Friday and then a whole other set on Easter Monday.

Saturday was a very busy day for Auckland City Football Club. At 3pm they hosted Western Springs at Kiwitea Street in Auckland and then at 7pm they faced Hekari United of Papua New Guinea at National Stadium in Honiara, Solomon Islands.

It’s been the question on everyone’s lips lately (if not then it should have been): Is Anna Leat actually playing as an outfielder for Hibiscus Coast? The answer is yes.

Last week we got the two Northern competitions (properly) underway and this week the rest of the country got its turn with the other four top tier comps all kicking off

The Northern League actually began a week ago as Auckland City crammed in a couple quick fixtures to clear up space for their imminent trip to the Oceania Champions League. With a Club World Cup jaunt in June, it’s shaping to be a very busy year for Auckland City.

We just had one of the most open, competitive, and unpredictable Men’s National League seasons we’ve ever witnessed and would you believe it the damn thing ended with Auckland City as champions

After another thrilling season of National League football... the expected outcome prevailed for Auckland United to complete their quadruple and make it through the entire calendar year undefeated

The Men’s Grand Final didn’t have the same clearly defined champ and challenger dynamic as the Women’s one did. For starters, the defending champs were Wellington Olympic and they didn’t even come close to qualifying this time

The stage was set at North Harbour Stadium, with Auckland United one game away from an absolutely unprecedented achievement. Not only were they on the brink of a quadruple but they were also ninety minutes (maybe more) away from going through the entire calendar year undefeated

The Men’s NL had four teams still with hopes of qualifying for the final as week nine began and none of them were playing each other so almost all of the games had ramifications. The WNL did not have such consequences

Right around the same time that the Cashmere-Birkenhead game reached it’s midpoint, this one was kicking off. Last year’s champions Wellington Olympic were at their Martin Luckie Park home trying to finish the season on a high

The Phoenix Reserves have found some recent form as first team players have been freed up to participate. But like the Men’s Reserves, the academy goes way beyond those prospects with A-League contracts

Wellington Olympic didn’t get their best case scenario with those other results but a win against the WeeNix would at least keep them in with a mathematical chance of defending their 2023 championship

You know it’s going to be a good game when the bouncy castle is up. Western Springs hosted Cashmere Technical in the second game of a club double-header, their WNL side having earlier beaten Central 6-0…
