We are entering the 2025 South Island League season with a focus on development and growth. While the competition promises to be tough, the team is ready for the challenge.
The first match is against Dunedin City Royals, who made it to the semifinals of the prestigious NZ-wide Kate Sheppard Cup in 2024, signalling the strength of their squad. This opener will be a tough test, but it's an exciting opportunity for the team to showcase its progress.
Under the guidance of a dedicated coaching and management group, the team has been building for the future. The team’s development phase means they are still growing, but the foundations are in place to make the most of their potential. The league’s high level of competition will provide invaluable experience, and every match is a chance for the team to improve.
The season ahead will be one of learning, hard work, and determination. With the right mentality and a focus on continuous development, Halswell United aims to compete at a high level and lay the groundwork for future success in the top end of the women’s game. It’s going to be a challenging year, but the team is excited for the journey!
