Five teams go into the weekend as the only remaining unbeaten sides at the top levels of competition in the Northern and WaiBOP regions.
And as the winter season heads to its late stages, the question is how many of them, if any, can make it through to season’s end without a loss?
They are: Auckland City (Northern League), Ngaruawahia United (Lotto NRFL second division), Northern Rovers (Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier League), Waikato Unicol (WaiBOP Premiership) and Hibiscus Coast (NRF Women’s Championship).
Here are all the fixtures for all the top men’s and women’s competitions for the weekend of July 22-24:
