A Fraser Park double header for the Wellington Phoenix reserves sets up a big weekend in round 6 of the National League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides play at home on Sunday, 3 October, with the first game being the women\u2019s kickoff against Central Football at 1pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it has been a tough season so far for the Phoenix, as they are still looking for their first points of the campaign, the return of six players from the U-17 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup will bring reinforcements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will also hope to capitalise on a difficult run for Central, who last week lost 10-0 to Eastern Suburbs and 8-1 to Southern United in a previously postponed game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediately afterwards, the men\u2019s reserves will take on Western Suburbs at 4pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a battling defeat last weekend, the Nix will aim for their second win of the league campaign against a Western Suburbs side who have struggled and currently sit bottom of the ten-team league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also a big weekend in the youth National League, as the national finals stage begins for the U-17 boy\u2019s side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will face Auckland City at 1.45pm at NZCIS on Friday, November 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U-17 girl\u2019s side also continue their own title push as they face Central Football at 10.30am at Fraser Park on Sunday, 3 November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
