2025: A Year to Remember – The Perfect Ending:

Our wee club from over the Hill proved that some stories do have the perfect ending in 2025. The final two games of the season only added to what's already become the most successful year in our club's history.

Against all odds, after coming away after the first leg lsoing 3-1, our Men's First Team pulled off an incredible 4–1 win in the second leg of the playoff against Athletic, earning promotion to Central League 2.

After being promoted to Cap 2 for 2026 our Men's Reserves earlier in the same day as the play off claimed victory in the Cup for Cap 3 & 4 Final, bringing home silverware and finishing their season on a high.

Our newly formed Women's Team made an immediate impact—earning mid-season promotion to Division 3, and then securing their spot in this division for 2026 with a solid finish.

And to top it off, the Men's Masters 4 team – Pasifika Originals finished 1st in their division and will be promoted to Masters 3 for 2026.

2025 will go down as the most successful—and most enjoyable—year in our club's proud history. Here's to everyone who played a part in making it happen!
