There are yet more things to celebrate as the season has finished.These are the incredible times where a player who is in goal, scores a goal, and because the feat is so rare, we can talk through every one.On 18 May, OMY earned their first penalty of the season, and as is tradition, their goalkeeper Caleb Ihaia stepped up to take the pen. He coolly slotted it in order to open his account for the season.Upon realising this table exists, the very next week, Scot stepped up to take a penalty for Odd Sox. His pen was saved, but he was first on the scene to finish the rebound, earning himself a spot on the table alongside Caleb.3 weeks later, Scot stepped up again and took the lead on the table, this time scoring from the spot.On their last gameweek of the season the Panther tried to earn their spot on the table, but unfortunately the pen went over the crossbar.Saving the best for last, Caleb scored on the last match of the season from his OWN BOX!!!Congrats lads on your outstanding feats, especially Caleb whose stats must be unmatched across Auckland, 2 shots, 2 shots on target, 2 goals! ...

As the season has finally come to a close, we can celebrate our winners and show you the final tables for our Golden Boot and Glove.While he was challenged fairly close throughout the season, Jorge had the goods to hold out Teagan and Danny. Jamie and Sophie round out the top 5, meaning that 3 of the top 5 are in their teens. The future of our club is truly bright!The list continues on through over 100 players and finishes with Brendan Williams, who must have strong shoulders to hold up such a heavy table, which includes 102 players and 436 goals!Congratulations to all, but especially to Jorge! ...

As the season has finally come to a close, we can celebrate our winners and show you the final tables for our Golden Boot and Glove.As predicted at the start of the season, Scot Harris led from start to finish and finished 3 clean sheets clear of his nearest rival, Shaun. Scot had 8 clean sheets and Shaun's late run had him finish on 5, which was enough to catapult him into second place late in the season. Izzy Wilcox from the 16 Panthers rounds out the podium in third.It's also fantastic to see every team we follow represented on this table.Congratulations Scot! ... See MoreSee Less
Following prizegiving on Saturday just gone, we have a week of celebration.To start we remember the tournament played the week before, ironically, the tournament in which we remember those who we have loved and lost.Football was absolutely the winner on the day, with sportsmanship pride of place. The day was not short of some silky skills, some fantastic plays, and some throwbacks -Bradley Holmes bicycle kick anyone?The Invitational team were able to hold the trophy for a short moment, but as is the spirit of the day, it was handed back to the club, to be displayed in our trophy cabinet year round.Thanks to everyone who took part and made it a fantastic day, but special thanks to Fabs and Dean who once again organised a fantastic event, that raised $830 for I Am Hope, to which the club will be adding $250. ...

It's heartbreak for the Odd Sox in the Cup Final.The boys did us proud against a team from almost a whole division above them, but didn't manage to come home with the trophy. A fantastic goal from Tony wasn't quite enough to get them across the line. This does not bring down the fact the team went unbeaten on the way through the season, and they managed to sneak in a photo with a plaque in order to reflect this.We would like to thank the Gold Sponsor for the Odd SoxMuang Thai Pukekohe Restaurant...
