A huge weekend for women’s football
These two derbies will showcase local football to the many visitors pouring into Auckland for Saturday’s draw for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup being held at the Aotea Centre.
Labour Weekend has made it possible for the Women’s National League to hold two full rounds of competition.
The four fixtures on Friday/Saturday will be reversed for Labour Monday.
That means Suburbs will travel to Auckland United, and Springs will head to Rovers’ McFetridge Park.
Here’s how the two rounds of fixtures line up for the weekend of October 21-24:
