Slightly off topic but is the WSPL happening this year? Feel like it should've kicked off already and the southern football site still only has the fixtures from last season

It's all sunshine and rainbows over at Cashmere it's it? Men's team dominating the South Island, Women's team dominating the South Island, from the looks of it they might've been a better team to represent the SI in the pro league than United lmao

Wouldn't say Cashmere are dominating South Island League until they play Royals (and possibly Otago Uni).

As well as they're doing, I have doubts they'd have the back for OPL (don't think they even applied) and if they did it'd probably end up being a role reversal.

It is however currently looking like a great season for them.

Today's result:
Otago University 3 (Ashley Geusebrook x 2, Bridget Merkel) NW United 0 HT 2 - 0

Nelson Suburbs vs. Dunedin City Royals - postponed due to unforeseen travel difficulties
