As of 05 April 2025 | |
The 2025 season is the 117th season since the founding of the Auckland Rugby League in 1909.
The men's senior season began with a 3-round qualifying competition for the Fox Memorial Shield where there were 3 pools of 4, with the top 2 teams from each qualifying for the Fox Memorial Premier competition. Richmond Rovers, Papakura Sea Eagles, Te Atatu Roosters, and Point Chevalier Pirates automatically qualified due to finishing in the top 4 in the previous season. The six teams who finished in the top two and won qualification to join them were Otahuhu Leopards, Mount Albert Lions, Manukau Magpies, Bay Roskill Vikings, Marist Saints, and for the first time in many years the Ponsonby Ponies. The teams who had been in the first division who were in the Sharman Cup for 2025 were Howick Hornets, Glenora Bears, and Otara Scorpions. The Steele-Shanks Women's Premiership reduced from seven teams to five with Richmond Roses dropping into the championship (2nd division), and Otara, Taniwharau, and Pakuranga failing to field senior women's teams at all. The competition was made up of teams from Mount Albert, Papakura, Otahuhu, Marist, and Mangere East.
The Otahuhu Leopards completed a remarkable season when they won the Fox Memorial Shield for the 13th time following a hard fought 8-4 win over the Mt Albert Lions at Trusts Arena in Henderson on August 17. They went undefeated with 17 consecutive wins while their reserve grade side also went undefeated to win their championship. The Papakura Sea Eagles women's team went back to back when they beat the Mt Albert Lionesses 32-24.The Otara Scorpions caused an upset when they beat Hibiscus Coast Raiders 22-20 and ruined their undefeated run in the competition. It was the third time Otara had won the Sharman Cup. Joshua Tanielu was awarded the Fox Memorial Player of the Year award, being the first time in Bay Roskill's history that one of their players had won the award.

Premier competitions
The Fox Memorial Shield competition will begin after a 3-week Fox Qualifying competition. Due to covid disrupted seasons from 2020 to 2022 the Auckland Rugby League decided that “2023 and 2024 will work as a bridge between the 2022 shortened season and by 2025 will see a return to a more exclusive Fox Memorial Premiership competition”, with the 2025 season seeing only 10 teams in the Fox Memorial premiership, down from the 12 teams of 2023 and 2024.[3]
Club teams and grade participation
Glenfield and East Coast Bays fielded a combined team in the Under 16 grade. The 55 teams in the Manurewa club was an increase of six from the previous season. Overall there was an increase of 20 teams from the 2024 season though the teams in the senior grades (men's and women's Premiers and Reserve grade sides, Senior B's and Open Age Restricted) decreased from 72 in 2024 to 66 in 2025.

Round 4
Manukau claimed a rugged 22-6 win over Richmond at Moyle Park. They opened the scoring with a try to Taunga Arama before Richmond leveled the scores in the 32nd minute with a converted try to Delamo Atai. On the stroke of halftime the Magpies retook the lead with Paea Fotu crashing over for a 10-6 lead. The second half saw the game stopped for ten minutes after Koronato John was knocked unconscious going in low for a tackle on a Richmond centre. He was eventually able to slowly walk off the field and went to hospital as a precaution. Fred Muller extended the lead to 6 with a 64th minute penalty and then Manukau held Richmond out for repeat sets which included Richmond captain Casey Tomai busting through and nearly scoring but sustaining a head injury and having to leave the field. Manukau moved on to attack and a second try to Arama sealed the game in the 77th minute, with Desmond To'ofohe sneaking across from the play the ball on full time to blow the score out. The Manukau coach told the Counties Sports Hub that "we definitely defended our way to victory... we lost three players through injury the week before against Marist and then another three on Saturday, so we had to put forwards in the backline... through adversity they worked really hard for each other which allowed us to get the win".[40] At Fowlds Park, Mount Albert ran away with the game in the second half with backs Thompson Karena and Isaiah Fale both scoring doubles and Navajo Doyle converting all seven of their tries. Otahuhu continued on their way with yet another thrashing, beating Marist 62-4 at Bert Henham Park after leading 26-0 at halftime. William Fakatoumafi scored twice and added nine conversions for a personal tally of 26. Last years Fox player of the year Fine Vakautakakala scored his first try for his new club in the 30th minute. Tevita Mikaele and Phoenix Hunt also scored doubles. At Prince Edward Park the visiting Te Atatu side nearly sprang a surprise, tying the score in the 76th minute with a try to Moses Oge. It capped a furious second half comeback which saw 16 points in 14 minutes to bring them back from 26-10 down. Francis Leger missed the go ahead conversion before Papakura were awarded a penalty in the 79th minute which James Dowie goaled for a 32-30 win. Tamehana Paruru scored a double for the Sea Eagles while Patrick Ioane-Unasa did the same for the Roosters.

Round 6
Otahuhu continued their dominant run beating last years champions, Richmond, 50-0. Phoenix Hunt scored a first half hat trick with Soakai Taufa scoring tries either side of half time. William Fakatoumafi scored a try to go with 7 conversions. At Walker Park, Mt Albert were 22-14 winners in a game between two form sides with Mt Albert also claiming the Lani Latoa Cup. Latoa died after falling on a ball and breaking his wind pipe while playing for the North Harbour Sea Eagles at Carlaw Park in 1995.[53] The Lions opened the scoring after they regained possession after contesting a kick. A shift to the left saw Kalepo Paualaisa cut through to score. The Lions moved out to a 16-0 lead before Taipari Wikitera scored twice and Garry Tuilekutu once to bring the Pirates back to 16-14. The Lions finished the game off when Kahil Johnson scored by the posts. An injury plagued Te Atatu side struggled against Manukau who had Samuel Nati back from injury. Semisini Lopeti scored a 90m intercept against the run of play early in the game but from then on it was all the Magpies with experienced players Kahn Munokoa (3), captain Desmond To'ofohe (2), Sione Toutai, and Samuel Nati scoring tries. Te Atatu scored a couple of late consolation tries. Following the 79th minute try to Kane Lefleur the referee Leon Williamson called out Manukau centre Paea Fotu from the Manukau huddle and ordered him from the field. Prior to their game with Bay Roskill, the Papakura coach, Ruka Loza told the Counties Manukau Sports Hub we are "looking forward to the game this week as we look to build on the things we did well last week... Bay Roskill have a decent back five so we need to do a good job on trying to limit their metres and be clinical on out attack".[54] Papakura moved out to a 22-0 halftime lead before Bay Roskill mounted a comeback with three tries to narrow the score to 22-16 before late tries to Walter Fifita and Viliami Lolohea sealed the win for the Sea Eagles. At Victoria Park, Marist led 16-0 after 14 minutes but Ponsonby replied with tries to Timor Williams and Molisoni Faiva. Marist gradually widened their margin though to win 44-22. For the Saints, Lani Graham-Taufa scored three tries and Sione Langatau two with Doux Kauhiva kicking six goals.

Round 7
In the live streamed game Te Atatu suffered their 5th consecutive loss with Bay Roskill moving ahead of them on the points table through a six tries to three effort. Amanaki Veamatahau and Lawrence Mamia both scored doubles.[60] After three consecutive losses Richmond came up against Ponsonby who had not won since round 1. Richmond scored nine tries and ran away with the game in the second half after it had been 20-16 at halftime. Mike Williams scored a double against his former team while Caleb Savelio-Thompson and Oscar Su'a also crossed twice each. For Ponsonby Max Riechelmann scored at either end of the game. The top of the table clash between Mount Albert and Otahuhu at Fowlds Park was closely fought. A penalty goal by Navajo Doyle gave the Lions an 8-6 half time lead. Midway through the second half Otahuhu took the lead through a grubber kick by Fine Vakautakakala which he fell on over the line. The Leopards continued with their simple game plan of using their size to gain yardage and wear their opponent down though they upped the tempo in the second half. Vakautakakala scored twice as did Jamel Hunt and his brother, Phoenix Hunt also crossed for a try. The win gave the Otahuhu side the Roope Rooster trophy for the first time since 2010 and was the third time it had changed hands so far this season. Marist's co-captain, Sunia Akau'ola brought up his 100th game for Marist in their match with Papakura at Murray Halberg Park.[61] Papakura was in control of the game at halftime 18-6 and held off the Saints on the back of two tries to Walter Fifita, and one each to Stedman Lefau, Siave Togoiu and Viliami Lolohea. Manukau continued their promising season with a come from 22-14 behind midway through the second half. They scored tries to Fred Muller, Kahn Munokoa, and Paea Fotu to take the win with Muller kicking five goals.

The games were played in a mixture of showers and sunshine following a wet few days across Auckland. All the suburban fields were soft but in otherwise good condition. At Grey Lynn Park the visiting Pt Chevalier side prevailed in a seesaw battle with the lead changing hands four times. Pt Chevalier took an early lead after Richmond let a kick bounce and Pt Chevalier regained the ball and shifted to the right for Malakai Cama to cross easily. Later in the half Kaylis Lundon charged down a kick and threw a pass infield to the supporting Trujon Nomani-Brown who picked up the bouncing ball to score. At halftime Pt Chevalier led 16-12 but Richmond scored three converted tries to take a 28-20 lead. The Pirates finished the strongest with Blade Collins-Kamuhemu who was playing his former side dummying out of dummy half and forcing his way over with the conversion narrowing the deficit to two before a 76th minute penalty by Caleb Laiman tied the scores.[67] He then crossed for the match winner three minutes later. At Bert Henham Park the Otahuhu side ran away with another heavy victory, 72-6 over Te Atatu. Viliami Kuli had a hat trick in 30 minutes and Toaiti Ramsay also went in for three tries while Dylan Tavita and Andrew Nansen scored doubles. William Fakatoumafi added 20 to his season tally of points with a try and 8 conversions. Te Atatu's lone points came from a try to Semisini Lopeti converted by Lucas Adams which had made the scores 6-6 through 12 minutes before the Leopards completely took over. The win also meant that Otahuhu defended the Roope Rooster for the first time after taking it off Mt Albert the previous week. Their opponents, Te Atatu had been the side which began the season with it in their possession. Papakura led 10-8 after 25 minutes following tries to Walter Fifita and Stedman Lefau at Fowlds Park however the Mt Albert side responded with a try to Tommy Beale before halftime and John Aitu in the 55th minute to take the lead. With twenty minutes to go Papakura broke away on the left edge and with Siave Togoiu going in to score Fifita threw a forearm at Jeremiah Poutu in the back play and the try was ruled out with Fifita being sent to the sin bin. Poutu was helped from the field after the incident. The game then swung further Mt Abert's way with Phoenix Sorensen scoring after a break down the left sideline before they swung the ball across the field for Sorensen to exploit the stretched defense.[68] Papakura right winger Jamie Henry replied with a late try but James Dowie's conversion to tie the scores fell short hitting the padding of the left upright. Henry was on debut for his new side and had been playing rugby union in Japan since 2013 and had represented Japan in Sevens and one full international in 2018 against the All Blacks as well as playing for Toyota Verblitz (2017-21), Kamaishi Seawaves (2022-25), and the Sunwolves in 2019. Mt Albert then sealed victory on full time with Marcus Fraser diving over from dummy half.[69] Kahil Johnson converted three of their four tries. At Moyle Park, Manukau won their third game in a row to solidify 4th place. Samuel Nati opened the scoring after dummying and bouncing out of a tackle and scoring under the posts. His second came just before halftime in almost identical fashion. Fred (Leti) Muller finished the scoring with a swerving run which he converted to have 5 from 5 for the afternoon. Timor Williams was the sole scorer for Ponsonby who remain at the bottom of the table on points differential from Te Atatu.

Round 9
Manukau had a 30-10 win over Bay Roskill after taking a 16-0 lead at halftime.[75] The Vikings threatened to make a game of it when Mackenzie Kata scored in the 44th minute and Joshua Tanielu converted but from the next set Tanielu tried to tap on a pass which went to ground and winger Kahn Munokoa picked up the loose ball and raced 70 metres to score. A penalty to Leti Muller and a try to Karekake Holamotu gave them an unassailable lead. At Jack Colvin Park an improving Richmond side ran in four first half tries for a 22-0 lead before Te Atatu scored their only points just after halftime with a try to Kane Lefleur. However the Bulldogs scored four more tries with Trujon Nomani-Brown finishing with seven conversions. The game between Marist and Mt Albert was transferred to Marist's second home ground, Margaret Griffen Park due to the recent wet weather. The ground was in very good condition for the live streamed game.[76] The Saints scored twice early to take a 10-0 lead. Their first try came after Jeremiah Poutu fielded a kick but threw a wild pass infield that went to ground for Laurence McFall to eventually gather and dive over. Mt Albert replied with a brilliant piece of work from Kalepo Paualaisa which gave AJ Ulugia space to beat the remaining defence. Poutu then made a long run down the right edge before the Lions swung it to the left for Paualaisa crossed in the left corner. Paualaisa put Ulugia away down the left side who passed back to Dion Fraser in support to cap an 80 metre effort and then Poutu bumped off a defender to make the halftime score 22-10. Kahil Johnson scored for Mt Albert early in the second half when Marist dropped a bomb, before Lani Graham Taufa, the twin brother of Moala Graham-Taufa crashed over to make the score 28-14. Navajo Doyle scored a 65th minute try to go with five conversions. Paualaisa capped off an excellent attacking performance winning the race to a short grubber from Fraser close to full time. At Prince Edward Park, Papakura opened the scoring with a try to Walter Fifita before Malakai Cama, Taipari Wikitera, and Juelz Baker crossed for tries to put the Pirates in front 20-16 at the break. Stedman Lefau scored twice for the Sea Eagles while Fifita added a second in the 72nd minute. James Dowie converted five of their six tries while Tyrone Hurt-Pickering only converted two of the Pirates five tries with Juelz Baker scoring a double. At Victoria Park the Ponsonby side found themselves level with Otahuhu 8-8 after half an hour after Mitchuel Elima ripped the ball off Emeliano Mikaele and dived over with Charles Gabriel's conversion and penalty soon after. However the Leopards were ultimately too strong with Toaiti Ramsay scoring two tries as did Tevita Mikaele, while Ben Wharton-Benedict scored a try in his 100th appearance for Otahuhu. Bostyn Hakaraia converted seven of their ten tries.

Round 10
Mt Albert solidified their position in second place with a 50-12 win over Ponsonby at Fowlds Park. Big winger, Jeremiah Poutu scored twice, while Navajo Doyle kicked five conversions. With Moyle Park in Māngere unfit due to recent consistent wet weather Manukau's home match against Marist was transferred to Margaret Griffen Park in Mt Roskill. Manukau continued their good form and ran out to a 32-0 halftime lead before adding another 26 points in the second half to a solitary try to Isileli Ula. Paea Fotu scored three tries, while Taunga Arama scored twice and Leti Muller converted seven of their 11 tries. At Blockhouse Bay Reserve, Bay Roskill scored a minor upset coming back from 16-6 down at halftime to win 30-22. Their win was built around towering spiral bombs from fullback Josh Tanielu with the Richmond fullback, Mose Newton either dropping or failing to get a hand on the majority of them. There were three tries which came directly from them in the same play with a noisy home crowd celebrating each of them with the last bomb from Ben Henry with Tanielu lying injured in his own half. Richmond threatened to draw the game when they made the score 28-22 with five minutes to go after a try to Mose Newton but on fulltime Bay Roskill were awarded a penalty following a one on one strip by Henry which Tanielu kicked. At Walker Park, the home Pt Chevalier side led 34-6 at halftime before Te Atatu showed some late fight by keeping the second half score to 16-10 in the Pirates favour who scored ten tries in total. At Bert Henham Park the undefeated Otahuhu team continued their trend of easy wins by beating Papakura who were in third place by 46 to 4. William Falatoumafi scored a try and kicked seven conversions. Standoff Bostyn Hakaraia scored twice for the Leopards with Walter Fifita scoring Papakura's only try.

Round 11
Richmond scored two early tries to Seiulili'i Harrison Sutton and Ollie Horgan but then Marist replied with two tries of their own to narrow the score to 12-10 at halftime. However Richmond dominated the second half scoring four tries to take a 20 point win. At Victoria Park the Bay Roskill Vikings continued their good form with a 46-6 win over Ponsonby after a 20-0 halftime lead. Nixon Leaso scored twice while Jarvis Leaoseve scored three tries with Josh Tanielu converting four and Ben Henry one. The win kept their playoff hopes alive. At Prince Edward Park the home team suffered a second straight defeat going down to Manukau 25-22. The lead changed hands a few times during the match with Manukau eventually scoring the winning try in the 71st minute with Kahn Munokoa scoring his second after earlier running 80 metres to score his first. Leti Muller's conversion gave them a two point lead before he kicked a drop goal in the final stages. Raven Togiafofoa also scored twice for Manukau while for Papakura, Stedman Lefau scored two tries. Perhaps the try of the match went to Siave Togoiu who finished an attacking move which went the length of the field to score one of their other tries. Mt Albert sealed second place in the regular season with a 28-6 win over a gutsy Te Atatu side which defended well for much of the game, mainly only conceding tries on the edges. Te Atatu lost two chances to score on the left edge through a forward pass and a foot in touch, the second would have narrow the score to 16-10. Late in the first half Chaz Brown was sinbined for a leg trip on Lucas Adams who picked up a loose ball with a clear field ahead, while soon after Francis Leger was sinbinned for arguing with the referee following a penalty early in the second half. Mt Albert's points came from two tries to huge winger Jeremiah Poutu, while others went to David Jardine-Ngauamo, Thompson Karena, and Solomon Vasuvulagi, while Navajo Doyle converted four of them. Te Atatu's only try went to big prop Tasimani Lopita. Otahuhu extended their unbeaten run this season to fourteen after they ran out to a 30-0 halftime lead. Captain, Connor Taurua Purcell scored twice as did Toaiti Ramsay and Willam Fakatoumafi kicked four conversions.

Round 12
Otahuhu defended the Roope Rooster Trophy to retain it for the summer, and were also awarded the Rukutai Shield for winning the regular season. Ben Wharton-Benedict was also presented with his 'Leopard Ring' for playing 100 games for Otahuhu. Their 26-4 win over second placed Mt Albert was also their 15th consecutive win of the season. After Jeremiah Pouto scored for the Lions in the 4th minute they may have held hopes of an upset but those were to be their only points with Otahuhu scoring four converted tries to Tevita Mikaele, Conor Taurua-Purcell, Fine Vakautakakala, and Viliami Kuli with William Fakatoumafi converting all of them and adding a penalty. Richmond struggled to overcome Ponsonby for a long time in their game at Frey Lynn Park where the new seating area had been opened. Ponsonby led 14-10 at halftime before Richmond then began to dominate running in six second half tries including two to Trujon Nomani-Brown who also kicked five conversions. The loss meant that Ponsonby finished last on points differential behind Te Atatu. Papakura fullback James Dowie was said to be playing his 50th game for the club in their narrow 22-16 win over Marist who put up a much stronger showing than recent weeks and had led 14-10 at halftime. The win for the Sea Eagles assured them of a home quarterfinal for the following week. Bay Roskill gave themselves a chance of making the playoffs with a comfortable 44-18 win over Te Atatu. Nixon Leaso scored three tries while Josh Tanielu scored two and kicked four conversions. For Te Atatu centre Lucas Adams converted all three tries, one of which was scored by Noah Godfrey who was on debut. At Walker Park Pt Chevalier needed a win to guarantee a playoff spot with Bay Roskill and Richmond both winning their games. With time nearly up Jovilisi Jake Sloan scored but the Pirates were unable to convert the try from wide out with a draw meaning they missed the playoffs for the first time in many years. Manukau secured third position with the draw. The Pirates had jumped out to an 8-0 lead after 6 minutes with a double to Juelz Baker but the Magpies quickly replied when Samuel Nati gathered a kick allowed to bounce under the crossbar and fell over the line and then Kahn Munukoa regained the ball from a kick and ran over near the posts. Then in the second half Leti Muller cut through the defence and beat Setu Tu to score under the posts.

Playoffs
Quarterfinals
Before a crowd of around 600 at Moyle Park in Māngere, the home side, Manukau Magpies pulled off a stunning comeback win over Bay Roskill Vikings. The Vikings had dominated the majority of the game by continuously moving the ball when in possession, running in 5 tries. Zion Tanielu dived through for his second try in the 51st minute to give them a 22-6 lead, and then Justus Leaoseve recovered a loose ball from an attacking kick under the posts with Josh Tanielu's conversion making it 28-12 with ten minutes remaining. Manukau began their comeback with a try on the right edge to loose forward, Aisake Tauatina, who was put through a hole by Leti Muller, then 6 minutes later Moreketai Moananu took a pass from Samuel Nati with the Vikings defence in disarray to score to the left of the posts. Muller converted both tries to narrow the score to 28-24. Then from the kickoff they attacked down the right side with Kahn Munokoa sprinting down field before being taken to ground. He wasn't held and got to his feet to offload, the ball eventually finding its way into the hands of Paea Fotu who beat the scrambling defence in the dying seconds of the match before an excited home crowd. Muller kicked the conversion from wide out on the right to win the match and send Manukau into the Fox Memorial semi finals for the first time in many years. Their opponent would be the Mt Albert Lions. At Prince Edward Park, Papakura ended Richmond's title defence in a replay of the 2024 with a 32-24 win. The Sea Eagles opened the scoring with a try to standoff Liam Prendergast in the 3rd minute converted by James Dowie. Richmond replied soon after when Waikare Ratima crossed for Trujon Nomai-Brown to level the scores. Papakura then retook the lead when they scored tries to Dowie and Arthur Crichton. A try to Kaylis Lundon, converted by Nomani-Brown meant the home side led by just 16-12 at the break. They extended their lead when Crichton scored his second try five minutes into the second half with the teams trading points with Mike Williams try which was converted putting the game in the balance at 28-24 with 20 minutes remaining. However winger Chris Masina Tuivai-Lopa gave Papakura an eight point lead when he crossed in the 63rd minute and they were attacking on full time when the final whistle went. The win meant that they would travel to Bert Henham Park to play Otahuhu in the other semi final.

Semi Finals
Mt Albert held on to win 22-16 over a Manukau side which was unable to replicate its previous weeks come back feat. The Mt Albert forwards dominated much of the game and played error free football with Solomon Vasuvulagi and Lyrakai-Layke Posimani causing problems for the Manukau defence. Posimani opened the scoring when they outnumbered the defence on the left edge. Manukau had a few opportunities on attack but made errors then on the stroke of halftime Mt Albert attacked and made a break on the right before the ball found Jeremiah Poutu who fed inside to a supporting Kahil Johnson to cross to give the home team a 12-0 lead. They went further in front when Johnson kicked a penalty and then Poutu gathered a bouncing kick to narrowly stay in field and then in a tackle he offloaded to Thompson Karena who reached out to score. Manukau got on the scoreboard when Taunga Arama crashed over and Leti Muller converted but Mt Albert restored their lead when Poutu went over in the left corner after nice lead up play. With 7 minutes remaining Paea Folau crashed over and Leti Muller converted to make the score 22-12. Then almost on full time they scored in the left corner when Koronato John went over. There was no time for the restart and Mt Albert were left to celebrate their first grand final appearance since 2019. Papakura threatened a huge upset at Bert Henham Park when they held the lead late in the match before Otahuhu levelled and then finished stronger. Papakura scored in the opening minutes when Chris Masina Tuivai-Lopa crossed. Otahuhu replied with a converted try to Jamel Hunt, with the conversion putting them ahead. Papakura regained the lead when Tuivai-Lopa scored his second, before a Dylan Tavita try, converted by William Fakatoumafi gave the Leopards a 12-8 halftime lead. The Sea Eagles retook the lead when Jese Qarantiqo crashed over in the 52nd minute and James Dowie's conversion put them 14-12 in front. They held the lead until the 67th minute when Fakatoumafi kicked a conversion to level the scores and then two minutes from time a field goal put them in front. Then on full time Jamel Hunt scored his second to seal the victory and send them to their first grand final since 2011.

Fox Memorial Shield Grand Final
The grand final was played in West Auckland at the Trusts Arena on Sunday, August 17 in fine weather though the field was slippery with earlier rain. Otahuhu won a tightly contests match 8-4 with two second half tries to brothers Emeliano Mikaele and Tevita Mikaele. Mt Albert scored the only points of the first half when Navajo Doyle kicked a 33rd minute penalty. He doubled their lead ten minutes into the second half and when Dion Fraser broke through and passed to Jeremiah Poutu it seemed an upset win was taking shape. However the powerful Otahuhu side gradually took control making strong carries and dominating field position in the last 25 minutes forcing errors and repeat sets from Mt Albert. They came close to scoring several times before Emeliano Mikaele scored following a 60 metre run by Toaiti Ramsey before two tackles later they attacked the left edge with Sebastine Ikihihifo offloading in a tackle to William Fakatoumafi who put Mikaele over in the left corner. Toaiti Ramsey made another break running for 30 metres after breaking through the centre. Then Otahuhu forced an error from the following Mt Albert set ten metres out from their line and after shifting the ball across field Tevita Mikaele crashed through the tackle of Thompson Karena to plant the ball just inside the right corner. Ramsey made several threatening runs and Andrew Nansen was a constant threat at fullback for the Leopards. The Man of the Match was Sebastine Ikahihifo who carried strongly and offloaded several times including the crucial one for their first try. The match was live streamed on the Auckland Rugby League YouTube channel.[101]

Full season top try scorers and point scorers
The full season point scoring and tries is from the 3 Fox qualifying games and the regular season, and then playoff games for the Fox Memorial Premiership. Several games did not have points entered into the ARL online database while some matches had individual point scorers unnamed and some scoring entries may be erroneous so the scoring is unofficial and incomplete though for the most part an accurate representation of the leading scorers. William Fakatoumafi of Otahuhu was the run away point scoring leader, while his team mates also dominated the try scoring standings with Tevita Mikaele scoring 15 and Phoenix Hunt, Andrew Nansen, and Toaiti Ramsey scoring 14 each. Last years leading scorer Kahn Munokoa scored 14 also for Manukau.

Fox Premier Reserves
The Otahuhu side, like their senior team was undefeated through the season. After an exodus of senior players in the off season the Te Atatu Roosters failed to field a reserve grade team for the first time in five decades. As in previous seasons the Ponsonby club failed to field a premier reserve team also meaning the competition was restricted to eight teams.
