The Main Event is a Masters Title Decider fixture.

All eyes will be on FDMC Pitch 1 at 3:00pm as Withers Moturoa AFC takes the pitch against FC Western in the ultimate high-stakes match. Sitting at the top of the table by a solitary point heading into the final round, the title race is on a knife-edge with three teams mathematically capable of taking out the championship.

A victory on Saturday would secure Moturoa AFC its first men’s league title in years outside of the senior first team's broad history of success. The lads need your support to bring the trophy home.

REVIEW - WOMENS FEDERATION CUP

History was made at Skoglund Park as the Reds and Western Rangers met for the first time in women’s football. To add to the occasion was the reward of a place in the 2026 CF Federation Cup Final for the winner.

In testing conditions, the ladies representing Excel Refrigeration Moturoa AFC controlled the contest, dominating more of the possession and creating the majority of the attacking opportunities.

Kate Carter’s brace, with a goal either side of half-time, proved the difference on the scoreboard but this game was won through full squad determination, attitude and game management.

Knowing the side to best adapt to the conditions was going to be an important factor, the side showed excellent attitudes and discipline.

The REDS stayed composed and together, managing the game brilliantly from start to finish to secure a deserved 2–0 semifinal victory and book their place in a seventh Federation Cup Final.

THE REDS ARE FINAL BOUND

If you are looking to support the final is on AUGUST 23RD with the location and venue TBC.... WATCH THIS SPACE !!!!!
