The women's first team ended their AFF Division 1 league season with a 3-0 win over Papakura City FC at Pukekohe High School on Sunday.
The home side were good value for their victory with Rose Kraakman scoring twice and youngster Olivia Willetts also getting on the scoresheet.
The Maroons used the ball intelligently and created several chances before Rose gave her side the lead 25 minutes in when she turned and curled the ball into the bottom right corner from the edge of the area.
That goal was good enough for the lead at the break before the home side, playing in orange, suffered a scare when Papakura were awarded a penalty.
However, the spot kick was put wide of Laura Johnstone's goal and from there the Maroons dominated and finished the game off with Rose grabbing a second before Olivia completed the scoring on the end of a well-worked third goal.
Nikita Lieshout made her debut for the women's first team as a second half substitute at left back.
The women's side could yet have one more match with a possible fixture against Fencibles United AFC's Women's Premier League side in the next week or so.
