Our Senior Wāhine First Team is the highest ranked in the WaiBOP Region after securing promotion to the NRFL Premiership for the 2025 season. We'll also have a Reserves Team playing in the NRFL Premiership Reserves League.
After a successful 2024 campaign we are looking to establish a sustainable presence at Premiership level so our youth and senior players can continue to benefit from the additional opportunities on offer at this level.
We welcome new players wishing to join us. If you'd like to try playing football at this level then register your interest at the link below and/or turn up for our open identification phase as detailed below.
Our season will begin on 21 January and the ID phase will run for 3 weeks to 6 February (Waitangi Day). We'll name a senior squad after that. Our focus will then shift to preparation and a series of pre season games through February and March. The NRFL Premiership season is scheduled to begin on 23 March.
Players aged 15 years and older are eligible to play senior football. For the first time, in 2025 we'll also have U14 and U16 teams competing in the NRFL Youth Girls competitions.
