Winning streak comes to an end but promotion secured

It certainly has been a season to remember for Wainuiomatas Womens first team known as Ziggyz.  Coached this year by Adam Smith with Josh Wilkie by his side they helped maintain the fine run of form for the team.  Midway through the season they had been promoted to Division 2 and were on an unbeaten streak of 23 games.  Unfortunately the run was brought to an end with a 1 - 0 loss to Lower Hutt but the team bounced back to win promotion again to Division 1 leaving them just one step away from promotion to Wellingtons Premier Division next season.

It didn't end there for the team either, they battled their way into the division 2 cup final and after an epic tussle with Petone Pins ended in a 2 - 2 draw after extra time the match went to a penalty shootout.  Petone however held their nerve to win the shootout 4 - 3 and deny Ziggyz a second consecutive league and cup double.  Best of luck to the girls next season in their quest for promotion.
