Palmerston North United are proud to confirm the squad that will represent the club at the upcoming Napier Men’s U19 Tournament, taking place over Labour Weekend (25th–27th October).

This year marks our debut appearance at the prestigious tournament, with the Hunters Concrete U19s competing in the Satellite competition. The event provides a fantastic opportunity for our young players to test themselves against some of the country’s top youth sides in a competitive and high-profile setting.

Our squad features a blend of talent from across the club, including players with First Team experience in Central League 2, key members from our Men’s Reserve Team in the Horizons Premiership, and several rising stars from our successful U17 campaign earlier this year.

The Hunters Concrete U19s will take on Cambridge FC, Lower Hutt City FC, Otumoetai FC, Tawa AFC, and Wainuiomata AFC in the group stage, with all fixtures taking place across the three-day tournament.

We’re aiming to livestream all five matches on our Academy YouTube channel, allowing supporters to follow the action from home:👉 Palmerston North United Academy on YouTube

A huge thank you goes to our team sponsors — Hunters Concrete, Mastercraft Kitchens by Healey, Married by Kev, and Team Robinson Real Estate (Jess & Ian Robinson) — for their incredible support in making this campaign possible.

Good luck to our players and staff heading to Napier — we know you’ll do the club proud!
