The men will travel to New Zealand for a challenging away fixture in the windy city on Saturday, while the women will host Wellington at Woy Woy Oval on Sunday.

With both teams in the bottom half of their respective league ladders, 10th in the 13-team men’s competition and 7th in the 12-team women’s league, these games carry significant weight as the season enters its critical second half.

The Mariners have endured a turbulent season, a far cry from last year’s highs.

Yet, under the leadership of their talented coaching staff and driven by a club culture defined by resilience, both squads have demonstrated a “never back down” attitude that resonates with fans.

The men’s victory over the Wanderers showcased their potential, with clinical finishing and disciplined play bringing much-needed confidence to a side hungry for consistency.

Meanwhile, the women’s defensive grit against a formidable Sydney FC side highlighted their ability to compete with the best in the league.

As the Mariners prepare for their upcoming challenges, supporters can take heart in the team’s determination to fight for every point.
