Kia Ora!

Welcome to the Southern Pioneers Whanau! 

With our 22/23 season fast approaching, the SP volunteer committee has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare everything you need to know.

22/23 SEASON COMPETITIONS

This season Southern Pioneers has taken the leap to participate in all 3x Auckland Region Competitions:

  • Counties Manukau Competition: 7x teams
  • Auckland Competition: 1x team
  • Franklin Competition: 2x teams

At Counties we will continue to grow our game starting with our Under 5s through to our Under 15s.  Our U17s have had to move into the Auckland Competition due to CMSA being unable to provide this grade.  Our Senior teams have decided to split between Counties and Franklin.  1x Open Mens team will compete in the CMSA Senior Mens Competition, and 2x teams (1x Mens & 1x Women's) will compete in the Franklin Senior Division Competition.

SP ANNUAL BBQ BREAKFAST

The Annual Opening Day BBQ Breakfast is an event that our committee feels passionate about ensuring its kept alive. A tradition passed down to us by our founding member John Huriwai, continuing this event helps us to keep his memory and intention for this club alive.

These BBQ Breakfast's are completely funded by donations from our volunteer committee. And delivered by volunteer members. Volunteers are the life force of community sport, without these selfless individuals we wouldn't be able to to provide this level of connection to our members.

This season our committee approached some of our local businesses to get some support. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Pak n Save Papakura for donating $200 worth of vouchers towards our 22/23 Opening Day Breakfast.
