Two players to watch out for in the future Ben Trenberth and Jack Clegg both 15. I've already heard good things about Ben Trenberth seems like he might be the next big prospect but probably won't see him get called into the first team til 27/28 season at least.

That Trenberth turn for the first goal 🤌

Give them time though. You'd think based off that evidence they'd be strong candidates for the U17 World Cup in 6 months time (and probably again for the 2027 version).

The task for Napier City Rovers is now a simple one: win their last four games and they’ll be champions of the Central League for the first time since 2018. No reason to think they can’t since they’re already on a four-game winning streak following a 2-1 triumph away to the Wellington Phoenix Reserves.

Mac Munro put the Ressies ahead after 33 minutes but Caleb Hunt tied things up right before HT (45+1’) to mess with the team talk vibes. Close game, not much between them, great effort from the WeeNix lads... but Jacob Fenton scored in the 85th minute to give Rovers the victory and keep them top of the table with four rounds left. That’s seven games without a win for the WeeNix.

Preseason training for the A-League team has started so they might be stretched thinner than usual from here on out, particularly with a heavy contingent also currently in the NZ U16s squad that’s over in Papua New Guinea. Cailean Hamilton made his first CL appearance of the year in this match. He’s the 32nd different player used by the Nix Reserves in the 2026 Central League.

Nice to see Clegg on the scoresheet for our OFC U16 win over Fiji.

Edit: Just saw that Trenbrerth got the Golden Ball award for the tournament as well.
