NZF have just announced Ford as a major sponsor of the women's programme, including it's involvement in the Nix ALW team - whatever that involves. Paying Gemma Lewis's wages I presume one small part of it.
The AWs now look like needing a host of A League players (incl Nix) for the start of that OFC tourney in Qatar. And for that to happen they will need assistance from the Nix, re getting players released. Rejigged ALM draw or Nix just agreeing to field a weakened ALM team, whatever is the solution.
Anyway looks like both Bodies need each other's help, more than ever! Both with significant challenges next few months.
