Technical earn redemption with last-gasp victory

Technical has now won the English Cup eight times, all of them in the past 11 years.

The club has also won the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup five times, including the last three seasons in a row.

Technical has won both cups in the same season twice before - in 2019 and this year.

After the men’s final, Technical’s Lyle Matthysen was awarded the Steve Sumner Medal for his MVP performance which included a first-half hat-trick.

Matthysen was the sixth Technical player to win the medal, which is named after the late All Whites legend.

It was the second time Matthysen has claimed the medal since 2020.

Anya Stephan’s two goals in the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup final saw her named MVP.
