Flying Kiwis – June 8

It’s still an undefeated start to the season for Ali Riley and the Orlando Pride but only just after a tricky game away against Washington Spirit. It was the home side who started much sharper, hitting the crossbar early on…

Welly Nix: A Season In Three Acts

If the Phoenix miss out of the finals, that missed penalty by Ulises Davila is going to echo painfully in many minds... but we all know that the real problem was their form in the early portions of the season. It just took them too long to settle into things.

Flying Kiwis – June 1

Many moons ago, digging deep into the past to the year 2012, West Ham found their path back into the Premier League thanks to a 2-1 playoff final win over Blackpool. He’s currently on loan at Brentford and oh would you look at that Brentford just won promotion to the Premier League through the playoff final.

Flying Kiwis – May 25

Last week the Zebras were confirmed as relegated with two games to spare, having not won a single league game all season. Not quite how they were hoping it’d go down... but they still had those two games to get through and Hannah Wilkinson wasn’t letting that moment slip.

Flying Kiwis – April 20

The Woodsman has a surprisingly decent record away against Manchester United of late. In fact Burnley as a team always seem to play well at Old Trafford these days. They’d gone four games in a row without defeat at that ground dating back to February 2015.

Flying Kiwis – April 13

And so it came to this. The 2021 W-League Grand Final. Seven kiwis got minutes throughout the season and two were still standing as Melbourne Victory took on Sydney FC for all the glory. Two who’d still be standing (metaphorically) at the end of 120 minutes of pressure-cooker football.
