In the draw just has Nomads unlike Halswell ChCh United and Coastal Spirit SAS.
After one Round top teams split off to play the top teams from down south, which if like last season will be over two Rounds, for the Southern League, or South Island Championship as it was called in 2022.
Ultimately NZ Football are looking for the Women's National League to be fully club based, which will lead to the demise of Southern United and Canterbury United Pride, Central and Capital in the coming seasons. This was announced several years ago and has already started to happen with four club-based teams coming out of the Auckland / Waikato regions for 2022 WNL.

Cheers Gavin. No Western or Bays. I’m surprised that Halswell and Chch Utd have combined. Utd could afford a stand alone team surely? Although several of their players have played for at the nest before. Would make more sense if Selwyn and Halswell combined. Is the Nomads team combined with Fc2011? So glad to see an 8 team league. Good idea to have combined club teams rather than only 5 entries. It means the players have more games- although disappointing to only have 1 round??? And more opportunities for younger players, and the lower teams still have games they can get something out of rather than getting pasted all the time and it’s a good challenge to take on the likes of Coatal and tech. A shame they don’t have a second round to judge how much they have improved and learned from the first round. I can’t think of any good reason why they can’t have a second round.
