Club
Christchurch United Senior Men's Team is undoubtedly having a sensational year in 2023, and todays victory against Dunedin City in the Southern League has only added more glory to their remarkable unbeaten streak. After an emphatic 3-1 win today, they now stand tall as a formidable force in three different competitions – Southern League, Chatham Cup, and English Cup.

The statistics speak for themselves; having played 19 games across these competitions, Christchurch United has secured an impressive 18 wins and a single draw, showcasing their unwavering determination and skill on the field. With a staggering total of 63 goals scored and merely 6 conceded, they have truly displayed their dominance and tactical brilliance.

Their pursuit of excellence and victory has brought them tantalizingly close to automatic promotion into the prestigious 2023 National League, with only one point standing between them and this momentous year on year achievement. It's evident that the players, coaching staff, and supporters have created a synergy that drives them forward, propelling the team to perform at their best and overcome every challenge they encounter.

As the quarter-final tie against Hamilton Wanderers approaches on the 29th of July, the excitement is palpable. Christchurch United has proven time and again that they have the mettle to emerge victorious, but this is the moment where they must dig deep and push their limits to secure yet another triumph on their journey to win this silverware for the first time since 1991.

Moreover, their upcoming English Cup Semi-Final clash against Halswell United on the 2nd of August has everyone on the edge of their seats. The chance to reach the final and potentially lift the cup is a testament to the team's dedication, hard work, and unwavering ambition. The prospect of writing history and etching their names in the annals of New Zealand football is within their grasp.

The question on everyone's mind is whether this indomitable unbeaten run can continue in these crucial cup ties. While the opponents may pose stiff challenges, Christchurch United has already proven that they have the talent, with Sam Phillip hitting 17 goals, Scott Morris leading one of the best defences in New Zealand from between the sticks, Eoghan Stokes contributing to many successful plays, Dan MacLennan scoring when its needed most and 3 academy graduates receiving their debuts in 2023, the team spirit to overcome any obstacle in their path is clear. The players' skills, their camaraderie, and their passion for the game are the driving forces behind their success and with 4 of the current senior squad being selected for the New Zealand U17s in August, the future also looks bright.

The supporters of Christchurch United have been an integral part of this journey, cheering and motivating the team with their unwavering loyalty. Your continued support fuels their determination and helps them raise their game to unprecedented heights.

So, let us rally behind our team as they take on Hamilton Wanderers and Halswell United in these critical matches. The dream of a historic season is within reach, and the journey to success is paved with hard work, dedication, and belief. Together, we can witness Christchurch United etch their name in football folklore and continue their extraordinary unbeaten run.

Go, Christchurch United! Keep the fire burning and keep making us proud! #OneClubOneDream
