2024 Womens Team

Gisborne Soccer Club regrets to inform that due to the low number of interested players we are unable to field a Womens team in 2024.

We remain committed to fostering the growth of female football within our club, we are pleased to have strong number in our Junior program which acts as a pathway to the return of Senior football, to which we anticipate will be in 2025.

Gisborne SC proudly continues to facilitate the strong “Gisborne Tillies” program, enabling Women who wish to stay engaged with playing the game but not at a competition football level.

Cameron Emery, who was appointed our Womens coach for Season 2024, will remain at the club, he moves to the vacant Junior Boys U15’s role (our Junior Girls already have their coaches appointed) and will take the reins of the Womens team upon its return in 2025.

Womens Pre Season

Our Womens squad begin their 2024 campaign when they return to Pre Season training December 5.

Sessions will run every Tuesday & Thursday from 7:00pm for 2 weeks, then we have the end of year break.

Email enquiries@gisbornesc.com if you are a new player wishing to be part of our squad.

New Womens Coach

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Cameron Emery as our Womens Coach for Season 2024 and wish him well for the upcoming season.

Womens Shirt Presentation

Last night we launched the 2023 Senior Womens Season by revealing the new kit, along with announcing our shirt numbers for the year.

This years kit design features a unique striped zig-zag pattern in 2 shades of Sky Blue. “1998” appears on the back of the shirt, just under the collar, referencing the year the club was established.

We are also pleased to announce our Mens Shirt sponsors for 2023:

Builders Academy will feature on the front of the shirt. BA extend their partnership with us, having been on our title-winning Womens shirts in 2022.
