Our first playing season saw us entered into The Counties Manukau League with a staggering 21 teams. This was a lot more than was anticipated, and in the 220 children making up those teams 60 were Girls.
We entered The Counties Manukau League with 36 teams, including 23 Rep Players. 1999 also saw the end of Counties Manukau and the formation of Federation 2
With the formation of all 7 Federations throughout New Zealand things got off to a tricky start, Teams aged 11 and above played in the Federation 2 League. Tough as Auckland Kids can be we did very well
with two teams winning their League. We started the season with 50 teams (too many) and we squashed them down to 46 teams. One team disbanded in the middle of the season due to there being no Coach but the children were placed throughout all the other teams. Four
children aged between 12-13 years made it to the National
Academy for the year 2001 .We finished off the 2000 season on a high note.
We started off this season
with 40 team. 31 teams aged 4yrs to 10 yrs. The Youth section lost 2 teams of under 19 players who went off to
play senior football . Another successful year was had by all.
2002 started with a
wonderful feeling. We have 33 junior teams and 11 youth teams. 44 in total. That
is an increase of 4 teams . The year would one of our best with quite a few
teams doing well in the Auckland league and 2 teams undefeated again.
2003 has started off once again with extra teams and children playing . We have 34 teams in the
Junior section and 14 teams in the Youth section. An increase in 4 teams
over all.
Total 48 teams. This year we passed at the AGM to go seniors for 2004. A great
move.
We had our first Premier team (10th Vipers ) who
finished second and we ended up with 24 teams in the club finishing in the top
3.A wonderful outcome.
