Waiuku hosted Western Springs in the weekend, desperate to put behind them the hammering to second place Fencibles last week. On paper, Waiuku were nearly back to full strength for the first time since round one and with some confidence that they were going to be able to get some much needed consistency on the field. It took until the second half for the football to start flowing the Waiuku way but the game was probably over by then. Read more.....

WHAT A WEEKEND AHEAD!!  Waiuku Men's 1st Team at home in the 3rd Round of the Chatham Cup on Saturday & Waiuku Women's 1st Team at home in the 1st Round of the NZ Women's Knockout Cup on Sunday.

Well... The biggest day in Waiuku's Chatham Cup history!! :) Waiuku topple Premier League team Onehunga Sports in a spectacular performance!! Who could've imagined that little old Waiuku could ever compete at this level - let alone take away victories...

First stop at the office next day was the lunch room - to grab the Herald and check out the Chatham Cup wrap-up... we LOVE reading our name in the NZ Herald!! Scanning through the games... Taupo upsets Tauranga... Fencibles get pipped by Mt Albert Grammar... Central United cruise to victory... but NOT EVEN A SENTENCE ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE UPSET OF LITTLE WAIUKU TOWN TOPPLING THE BIG BOYS!!

The Waiuku AFC Kentish Premiers came home with the points on Saturday, winning 2-1 against Matamata, in their Chatham Cup match.

Waiuku's game against Onehunga Sport only took a mere 3 minutes for Jesse Smyth-Kirk to open the scoring after running onto a precise through ball from the midfield catching the opposition defence quite square.

Oh, so close to back to back wins, but the game can change in an instant. Twice we had the lead against Ellerslie but for now, the top of the table will have to wait for us.

Waiuku Premier Reserves played Fencibles at Massey Park in front of a large home crowd. The game started with great intensity with both sides looking to take the 3 points for a win.

Waiuku AFC's Kentish Premiers travelled to Western Springs in their first ever match in the new inter-Federation soccer league, and delighted their club and supporters with a convincing 2-1 win.

The Waiuku Premier Reserves' rise from division 4 to division 2 seemed to be a good call as they played Bay Olympic. From the outset Waiuku seemed to dominate the game with the strikers John Whittaker and Jesse Smyth-Kirk creating numerous chances which saw Whittaker score the only goal.

The 5-0 scoreline is a testament to just how clinical the Waiuku performance was down at Huntly on Saturday afternoon. It becomes even more impressive when put in context... with the game only lasting 55 minutes before a mutual decision between referee and team captains brought the game to an early conclusion.

Well... all in all it was a good day out for those who were able to make it, with a lot of promising signs for all concerned. It was always going to be a hard ask to take 3 victories out of the day (given that we really only had two teams worth of players) so the day's results were fairly satisfying. Congratulations to the Men's Reserves and Women's Reserves who both (with a small amount of assistance from a few existing 1st team players) managed to topple their opposition in tough games.

It was difficult to imagine what to expect from a Waiuku vs Papakura match up, but we’re pretty certain a dominant 4-1 victory (which could easily have been 8 or 9) was a much more exciting outcome than most were predicting.

Well... it wasn't Waiuku's 1st team... and it wasn't Taupo's either... and it wasn't a win... but well worth the trip down nonetheless!!

Saturday Feb 16th saw the first trip a Waiuku team has taken down to Taupo in more than 10 years. While it was really about blowing out the summer cobwebs, we'd like to think a good time was had by all - despite the 7 hours driving in one day!

First senior trainings are scheduled to begin in the first week of February.

Men's trainings will be 6:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from February 5th at the Waiuku Primary School field just across the road from the Soccer Club.

Women's trainings will begin 7:00pm on Wednesdays from February 6th at the Glenbrook training ground.

The first few trainings are open to all players of all levels, past, present and new! It's just an opportunity to get down meet the other members of the club and start getting the fitness and skills back up. So we look forward to seeing you there!!
