Market1 Mar 2027

Kosta Boxall asks to leave Hawke's Bay United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Tim Singh: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hawke's Bay United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Mason Cummings in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hawke's Bay United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market25 Jan 2027

Alex Kirwan puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hawke's Bay United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Ben Tuiloma signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ben Tuiloma commits to Hawke's Bay United for another 3 years.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Hawke's Bay United

Mason Cummings was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad25 Jan 2027

James Singh falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tim Singh gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market25 Jan 2027

The Oliver Tuiloma question follows Hawke's Bay United around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Oliver Tuiloma’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match18 Nov 2026

Hawke's Bay United march on in the cup

Canterbury United are out and Hawke's Bay United go through, 3‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match21 Nov 2026

Hawke's Bay United run riot against Team Wellington

6‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A brace, and Oliver Tuiloma takes the afternoon — 9.38

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Oliver Tuiloma provided it, and the 9.38 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Ben Tuiloma

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad23 Nov 2026

James Singh takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match21 Nov 2026

Nobody wants to play Hawke's Bay United right now

6 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Joe Garbett could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.42

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.42, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

No sign of nerves from Kosta Smith at 17 — 8.48

The hardest thing about being 17 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kosta Smith did not need any: 8.48, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match21 Nov 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Hawke's Bay United and Team Wellington in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

A debut Marco Bell will not forget — 7.54

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.54 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

No sign of nerves from Oliver Tuiloma at 21 — 7.73

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Oliver Tuiloma did not need any: 7.73, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tim Singh is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Alex Kirwan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alex Kirwan and Hawke's Bay United agree another 3 years.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Mason Cummings has improved at 27, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 4 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Hawke's Bay United

Mason Cummings was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom19 Oct 2026

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Hawke's Bay United

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match17 Oct 2026

Oliver Tuiloma sends Hawke's Bay United past WaiBOP United

It finished 3‑1, and it was Oliver Tuiloma’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hawke's Bay United.

The terraces19 Oct 2026

Hawke's Bay United supporters have found a favourite in Oliver Tuiloma

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Oliver Tuiloma has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Stefan Smith damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Tim Singh at Hawke's Bay United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Tim Singh is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Sani Mubarak in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hawke's Bay United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
