Head coach Danil Kornilov said "It’s been a great season with the boys. It was a pleasure to see the boys individual development, their dedication when even though they were injured, they were always with the team and their hard work paid off. 4 titles this year is the result of this. Besides that, the boys showed some really good impressive football and it was visible on the field that we were playing in Christchurch United style. I'm proud of my boys and it was an honour for me to be on the sideline with them and try to help on their journey. The recent South Island Tournament was a great experience, full of nice memories and despite the tiredness, the boys showed commitment over 3 days and claimed the cup.
Overall, this year was amazing. The boys improved not only as players but also as people which in my opinion is very important as it perfectly aligns with the club's values.
Big thanks to Trent and Diego without who my year would've been very tough. They had a really positive influence on the team.
I'm looking forward to 2023 as I'm sure the club will achieve a lot in the following year. I'm very proud of my team, thank you guys for the season and I hope to see everyone on the field next year"
