Still smiling despite defeat - Waterside Karori's squad at the conclusion of the biggest game in the club's history.
Some talented players in this team, among them Tui Dugan, Football Fern #184 Sarah Morton, Tessa "TMac" McPherson, 2022 NWL MVP Renee Bacon,
and imports Nikki Furukawa and Emma Starr. They'll be stronger for this experience, but on this occasion they were playing a team hellbent on making history.
