• Sam Mitrakas and Kailan Gould reached the 50 game mark against Auckland City on 11 March and Wellington Phoenix Reserves on 7^th April respectively. They are the 83^rd and 84^th players to do so.

• Of Sam’s 50 appearances, a record  31 have been off the bench beating Johnny Gerondis (29), Nathanael Hailemariam (27), Jimmy Haidakis (25) and Spiros Androutsos (25).

• Conversely, in the National League Final in December 2022, Justin Gulley became the first outfielder since Geoff Brown in 2006 to have 50 starts in his 50 first appearances (goalkeepers James McPeake and Scott Basalaj have also achieved this feat in this timeframe).

• Kailan scored in his 50^th match – the 15^th player to do so since Wally Allen in 1972, the first whose goal was the match winner deep in injury time.

• Our matches against Auckland City (National League Final and Oceania Champions League Play-Offs) were the first time we have played the same opponent in three consecutive matches.

Olympic Streaks: 

• 10 consecutive Central League wins dating back to Round 14 last season at Park Island in July. This ties with the run from June 2021 to April 2022 and is one behind the 11 wins from June 2010 to April 2011.
• 21 matches unbeaten (16 wins and 5 draws) away from home in the Central League. The last defeat was at Dave Farrington Park in October 2020.
• 20 matches unbeaten (19 wins and 1 draw) against Petone in all competitions. The last defeat was at Petone Memorial Park in 2011 in the Central League. The only draw during this run was in 2014 with 14 straight wins since then.
• In the match against Whanganui Athletic on 15 April 2023, all 11 starters had at least one goal (fifth time that this has happened - all in six months - helped by Scott Basalaj's penalty against Wainuiomata in 2021) but amazingly only three (Gavin Hoy, Tor Davenport-Petersen and Jack-Henry Sinclair) had more that one goal.
