The Pride of Cashmere Tech FC
Dominating the South Island
Our Women’s First Team is a force to be reckoned with, holding titles in the South Island Qualifying League (SIQL), South Island League (SIL), and the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup—winning all three competitions for the second consecutive year in 2024. We retained our Reta Fitzpatrick Cup title in 2025. As the only South Island club with a Women’s National League License for 2026, Cashmere Tech FC is dedicated to elevating women’s football to the highest standard.
Our goal is to qualify for the 2027 Women's National League.
Leadership
Cashmere Technical FC is delighted to announce our Womens 1st team coaching staff for the 2026 Season.
Shane Verma has re-signed as Head Coach and he will be joined by Assistant Coach (and 2025 Mainland Football Womens Coach of the Year) Duncan Reed. Brian Hoover will also re-sign as Reserve team Head Coach.
A word from the man himself Shane: “I’m excited to be coming back to rejoining the coaching staff for the 2026 season and working with Duncan again and we have more great staff to join us, who will be announced very shortly. Our Women’s First Team has been on a great trajectory for the past 4 seasons, which we will keep building upon across the 2026 season. Next year will be an exciting season and we can’t wait to bring everyone on the journey with us.”
After multiple highly successful seasons with our Women’s First Team in previous years, Cashmere Technical FC is thrilled to welcome Shane and Duncan back for the upcoming campaign. Their leadership has been instrumental in the team’s past achievements, and we’re excited to see where they can lead the team next.
With their return, we’re aiming not only to build on previous success of league and Cup wins - but to push even further toward securing a place in the 2027 Women’s National League.
