Team Wellington brought to an end Auckland City’s three-year reign as Southern Trust NZ Football Championship title-holders at Kiwitea Street on April 12, coming from behind to down the reigning champions 4-3 after extra-time in the NZFC play-off.
That result, the first time Wellington has downed Auckland in thirteen attempts, means that a new name will be engraved on the NZFC trophy for the first time in the competition’s four-year history, with the Wellingtonians heading to Auckland once again next Sunday to take on Waitakere United at Douglas Field in the NZFC Grand Final.

AUCKLAND CITY OVERCOME MANU URA IN TAHITI TO SET UP DECIDER
Auckland City set up an 'O' League decider against local rivals Waitakere City on 'WEDNESDAY 5pm AT TRUSTS STADIUM' when they overcame a stubborn Manu Ura side at Stade Paea on Friday night.
Defender George Suri made sure Paul Urlovic's header ended up in the net when he fired the ball into the net from close range in the 82nd minute.
It was a goal that coach Colin Tuaa was happy to see after his charges had dominated the game, but failed to apply the finishing touch on numerous occasions.
