Match8 Feb 2027

Hawke's Bay United refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 24 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market8 Feb 2027

Dane Singh 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Stefan Boxall stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Stefan Boxall and Hawke's Bay United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Both of them Marco Lockyer's — 8.65

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market18 Jan 2027

Bill Lewis hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hawke's Bay United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Clayton Payne stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Clayton Payne and Hawke's Bay United agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

A hand in 2 of them from Ben Sutton — 7.97

Marked 7.97. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Hawke's Bay United

Clayton Payne 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.

Match16 Jan 2027

Hawke's Bay United get the job done against Canterbury United

A 3‑2 win over Canterbury United, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Clayton Payne

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Clayton Payne, and the manager let it.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A promise honoured for Ryan Cacace

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Hawke's Bay United told Ryan Cacace something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Tommy Tuiloma

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Jake Stamatelopoulos scores twice — 8.58

Two goals and a mark of 8.58 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A one-man rearguard from Clayton Payne

There were 7 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.

Match11 Jan 2027

Hawke's Bay United refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 21 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market11 Jan 2027

Ben Lockyer 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.

Match9 Jan 2027

Team Wellington take the points off Hawke's Bay United

Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match9 Jan 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

7 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Clayton Payne 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.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Noah Fenton was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.05. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Ryan Cacace

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Dane Singh signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Dane Singh and Hawke's Bay United agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Hawke's Bay United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jackson Ross is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
