We’re excited to be here in the final of this historic Women’s Football Cup Competition against Halswell United, the first winners of the cup. Being able to represent Tech’ in the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup final is a special moment for us all and coming into this game we’ll need to be at the top of our game against a team that is yet to concede a goal in the competition and we’re ready to embrace the challenge that the Hawks will bring.    

The 2024 season has been a special one for us all, and the team has worked tirelessly throughout the season, played some really eye catching football, scored some great goals and defended ruthlessly to showcase our style of football. But none of what the team has been able to do is without the dedication and support of our club, friends, families and supporters it would not have been possible to have such a special season, bringing us under the bright lights of English Park.

A final big thank you to all our supporters, and we can’t wait to hear you all cheer us on loud and proud.

Halswell United heads into the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup final with a sense of accomplishment after a season marked by mixed results and a third-place finish in the New World Premiership.

As we step onto the pitch, we acknowledge the journey that has brought us here, the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the camaraderie forged within the team. 

We know we are up against a solid and classy Tech side, who have had a successful Southern League campaign. Tech is clinical in front of goal, so we’ll need to be sharp from the first whistle to get anything out of this game. 

After a one sided battle the last time we meet, we hope to bring more of contest to Tech this week. The girls are ready to take on that challenge.

As a coaching staff we are proud of what the team has managed to achieve this season and it is a shame all three of us are away for this final game. We wish them luck. 

To everyone supporting both teams, enjoy the match.

2024 Teams

There were 9 teams from 11 clubs who entered into the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup this year.

The Reta Fitzpatrick Cup 

Named after the late Reta Fitzpatrick who was one of the early pioneers for the women's game in Canterbury.

Reta, or "Mrs Fitz's" as known and called by all the players, was a manageress (called the team chaperone in the 70's) for many seasons at club level for Rangers (now Coastal Spirit). She also occupied this role for Canterbury from 1976 until 1992. Outside of this responsibility she also filled many other roles on the committee at Rangers as well as serving on the Canterbury Women's Football Association - (CWFA) for three decades and was made a life member at both Rangers and the CWFA. 

The Canterbury Women's Football Knockout Cup was first contested in 1974 when the top women's clubs included the likes of Halswell, New Brighton, Rangers and Nomads. Halswell went on to win the very first Cup competition in 1974. In 2005 the Knock Out Cup was renamed The Reta Fitzpatrick Cup with Reta on hand to hand over the trophy for the first time to inaugural winners New Brighton.  This was somewhat fitting as the New Brighton coach was Rowena Fulham, who had played at Rangers and Canterbury for a number of season's when Reta was the manager. 

It is testament to Reta's legacy that the Cup remains a much sort after trophy on the Canterbury sporting landscape - and we pay homage to the numerous hours of volunteer support Reta gave to football within the region.
