Kapiti Coast United held their Annual Easter Club Tournament over 3 days – Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday for Grades 10-14 and U17.
This year, for the first time since 1991, Onslow Junior Football Club were the overall tournament winners, which is made even more amazing by the fact that we don’t enter a team in the U17 division.
Please visit our tournaments page for more details.

Come and check out the new Northern Hills Football Pathway launching Sunday 20th March at Alex Moore Artificial Turf 11.30am – 5pm. A family fun day will involve:
Food and Coffee available.
It has been created to ensure that players from all the Junior Clubs and Colleges are aware that there is a Football pathway available in their neighbourhood once they go to College – ultimately being able to play for the local Senior Football Club – North Wellington AFC, who have just been promoted to Capital 1.
Steps have been taken to ensure that training programmes are available for Junior players; and that College players will be mentored so they can maximise their footballing programme. Come down and see what it is all about.
Northern Hills Football Pathway – We are One!
Nicki Sutherland has informed us that she is going out to the first cannons creek school on Thursday March 17th (am) to hand out all of the wonderful football boots which were donated throughout the year from Onslow Junior Football Club. There is a possibility of a second Cannons Creek school, but is currently on hold depending on how many boots are left over. If there are any volunteers who would like to help hand out the boots this Thursday 17th March then please contact Nicki on njc_sutherland@yahoo.com.au as soon as possible.
An update on the success of the event will be given later.
On Sunday 7th February, 30 children from OJFC had a memorable afternoon as Honour Guards at the Pheonix vs Perth Glory match at the Westpac stadium.

The Infintiy Foundation have recently provided OJFC with a grant of $2,000 which was used to part fund the purchase of 19 sets of goal nets for the Club. The purchase of these nets has allowed for a greatly enhanced playing experience for a large number of the Club’s members and OJFC would like to record our gratitude to Infinity.
