Awesome result for Pride to go up there and win vs Northern who were chasing 3rd title in succession. With national club Knockout Cup win as well, fair to day - for now at least - Chch is the powerhouse of women's football in nz; and nz are ranked top 20 and rising. What can the men learn from the women?

Whooooa, hold your horses, one fortuitous victory and a solid win does not a summer make. Back it up with a couple of similar results in the next 2 years then ok I'm right with you. How many national reps do we currently have? Nowhere near as many as Auckland/Northern I bet. 

Maybe it's time for NZF to rethink their development strategy - Christchurch based training camps for National age group teams? We certainly seem to have coaches capable of improving players individually and as a team. Many of the girls in todays win and the Coastal cup triumph were losing finalists in the Cup 2 years ago and have made massive strides.
