Phoenix enjoy new Porirua home

Porirua City Council

The Wellington Phoenix women’s side may have found a happy home at Porirua Park.

Playing their first game at the venue, instead of Wellington’s Sky Stadium, the team found their groove, beating Western United 3-1.

The match on 12 November was played in front of more than 1700 fans, who voiced their approval regularly as the Nix continued their strong start to the A-League campaign. The Jerry Collins stand was rocking with chants and noise and the food trucks did a roaring trade, showing the ground was an inspired choice for six of the Wellington club’s home matches through until mid-March.

The recently upgraded venue hosted the South African team during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Porirua City Council has plenty of free tickets to give away as the season progresses, so make sure you visit our Facebook page in the week of matches at Porirua Park.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
