Zero new cases today is like scoring in the 85th min to go 2-1 up. Feels like youve done it but the reality is youve gotta stay focused, keep the processes, dig in and see it out. Cant celebrate until the whistle goes! Dont loose you heads now NZ, get the job done.

- Great night in Auckland, delighted with the response from the team. We were brave with the ball & played with great energy. Then showing the other side of whats needed, finishing the game with strength & resilience. The work ethic was incredible. Now time to rest.
- It’s nice to get the rewards to play our style & creating this new identity. Some superb performances, incredible impact from the bench & an evolving togetherness. Nice feeling to get the first W, there is still more to come from us. Thanks to our fantastic supporters who stayed.
- Can’t express how much it means to have the team back home. Amazing night with 24,000+ people. Watching Ben Old make his pro debut alongside Waino & Sutts was just magical. Thank you to the fans for creating a dream come true atmosphere. #COYN
- Thank you to our amazing fans for coming out to Porirua Park today. @YellowFever_NZ just the best!! We heard you all day, creating an amazing atmosphere. That moment at the end was my favourite of the season.

- As if she wasn’t already.. MacKenzie Barry is officially a legend of the Phoenix, as she becomes @WgtnPhoenixFC ALW leading appearance maker. I’m so glad she’s in our team & we don’t have to play against her! Congratulations Mack.
- Lots of talking points but the message is clear, the players were absolutely unbelievable. I saw unity, spirit, energy, fight & determination. I saw some great football & a team who was never going to lose that game today. I could talk glowingly about every single one of them.
- Very grateful to the club for the opportunity. Can’t wait to get started, build on the good foundations and take the team forward. I also want to thank the @WgtnPhoenixAcad staff, they are an amazing, supportive group of people.

- Can we just watch this goal again… that’s a young kiwi making himself known to the World, if they didn’t already know who he is they do now.
- Not the result we wanted. There was lots to like in our performance, also lots to come in terms of improvement. This process will take time and we’re all committed to it. Hopefully the supporters got a feel for the identity of this team & whats to come. Thanks for your support.
- Players were brilliant today, played with passion, togetherness & desire while being brave enough to play through the lines. Exactly the way we wanted to respond after last week. We continue to learn & grow this season. Thanks to the 2.5k who came to support us. Happy Christmas.
- We changed the tune. 🎶 Been a long time coming, so proud of the team’s performance bouncing back with energy, desire, playing identity & quality. It felt like we re-discovered ourselves again. Some great football & goals. Big week coming up now. Onwards & upwards.
- Congratulations Manaia. Not sure if admin has been watching the ALW but she’s not a defender, be nice to get that right.
