[edit]

The Hurley Shield is a Challenge Shield, where only teams from Christchurch challenge for the shield. It is only up for challenge when the current holders plays a league home game, cups competitions are not challenge games. The challenging team need to win against the current holders in order for the shield to change hands; if the match is a draw, the current holders retain the shield.

The Hurley Shield current holders are Christchurch United, who defeated Coastal Spirit 0–1 in round 15 to claim the shield for the first time they have held the shield since July 2012.[7] They have defended the shield twice, once against Selwyn United and once against rivals Cashmere Technical.[8] Christchurch United have locked the shield up for the rest of the season, as there they have no more games left in the season.

Coastal Spirit before they lost the shield, they had defended it six times and were on a club record 22 games unbeaten in all competitions - Chatham Cup, English Cup and Southern League. Coastal's successful defenses were; twice was against Selwyn United (once in 2023 and once in 2024),[9] once against previous holders[10] and local rivals Cashmere Technical,[11] once against local estuary rivals Ferrymead Bays,[12] once against University of Canterbury[13] and once against Nomads United.[14]

Hawkey Shield

[edit]

The Hawkey Shield is a Challenge Shield, where only teams form Christchurch challenge for the shield. It is only up for challenge when the current holders plays a league home game, cups competitions are not challenge games. The challenging team need to win against the current holders in order for the shield to change hands; if the match is a draw, the current holders retain the shield.

The Hawkey Shield current holders are Coastal Spirit, who have defended it for multiple years in a row.[81] They have defended it against Selwyn United, Halswell United and local rivals Cashmere Technical. Coastal have locked the shield up for the rest of the season, as there are no more Christchurch teams left to play at home.

The 2024 Whero Cup is a Charity cup competition for all teams in Canterbury Men's Championship League, Senior Men's Division 1 & 2 and Reserve teams in Men's Premiership League. This is the 2nd edition of the Whero Cup.

In 2023, the Whero Cup helped raise awareness and support for Ronald McDonald House South Island. This season, the cup will again help raise awareness and support for Ronald McDonald House South Island.

On 1 May 2024, Mainland Football released the draw for Round 2. One notable difference was that Coastal Spirit U20 Reserves were drawn out from the cup, while the team that bet them, Nomads United U20 Reserves, were not drawn out. The day later, it was reveled that Nomads United U20 Reserves were withdrawn from all competitions, Whero Cup and Canterbury Championship.
