double header in the penultimate round of the competition, with the women\u2019s reserves beginning the afternoon against Western Springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A compact performance saw them go into the break 1-0 up, courtesy of Mackenzie Bryant\u2019s close control and strong finish in first half injury time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite hitting the woodwork three times, the Phoenix were unable to hang onto the lead, and ended up losing 4-1 to the Kate Sheppard Cup finalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next match saw the men\u2019s reserves take on reigning Chatham Cup winners Wellington Olympic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"

area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It remained deadlocked until the 77th minute, when Lewis Partridge produced a bullet that found the top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson added his second after a clinical counter attack almost immediately afterwards to secure the points for the Nix, and in turn eliminate the defending champions from grand final contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the day, the Phoenix U-17 girls\u2019 side had beaten Western Springs 4-1 in the youth National League, led by an Isabella Temple hattrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having secured the title last week, the Nix were awarded the trophy post-game, capping off a season where they were only beaten once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Main image:<\/em><\/strong><em> Ryan Imray\/Imray\u2019s
