The Wellington Phoenix reserves will look to continue their good form in another home double header in the penultimate week of the 2024 National League.
Both women’s and men’s reserves matches will be played at Fraser Park on Sunday, November 17.
The Phoenix women’s reserves kick off the afternoon against beaten Chatham Cup finalists Western Springs at 1pm.
Coming off a 6-0 win against Central Football, Western Springs will provide a good test for the Phoenix as they look to finish the season strong.
Wellington will want to make it three games unbeaten as they continue a good late-season run of form.
At 4pm, the men’s reserves take on reigning National League champions Wellington Olympic in a match with huge implications for the league table.
Olympic, who feature a number of former Phoenix academy and first team players including head coach Paul Ifill, sit fifth but can still secure a top-two place and qualify for the grand final.
The Nix had their own morale-boosting victory last weekend, beating Auckland City away in a rollercoaster game that finished 4-3.
In the youth National League, the Wellington Phoenix U-17 girls’ side will take on Western Springs at 10.30am at Fraser Park on Sunday, November 17.
They wrapped up the league title last week by beating Southern United, but will still aim to finish the season with a win in their final game.
