A National League Championship result has been overturned due to an ineligible player being fielded. 

On 6 October 2025 Western Springs, in their game against Canterbury United Pride, fielded the player, breaching the women’s National League Championship competition regulations. 

In accordance to the NZF Disciplinary Code, the original result, a 3-3 draw, has been overturned and will now be recorded as a 3-0 win for Canterbury United Pride. 

Western Springs, as is permitted under the competition regulations, were given the opportunity to appeal the decision but elected not to. 

The match result will therefore be amended with immediate effect and both teams points adjusted.
