In S21, North Shore finished fourth in the minor league, which is actually the worst they have performed since the minor/major league split. While the team had a strong showing from their defense and goalkeeping, a big problem this season was the lack of goal scoring as the team struggled to get more than a single goal in a number of matches. But, the future is bright and there are a number of efforts that should be noted. Zaza Banana led the way with ten goals and was named Player of the Match three times in his first season with the New Zealand based club. Mikko Rashford III had a good overall game scoring six goals and six assists while leading the team with 53 interceptions. In his final season before retirement, Furious Chicken was stellar on defense, leading the way with 58 clearances and the best passing with a 91.72%. In net, Denis Mobek had a strong season with six clean sheets and all ten wins for the club. However, his time with the organization is over as he was selected in the expansion draft by Xelaju Cosmico FC. The team also says goodbye to Chris Warrick and Kika Bahl as they both wound up on expansion clubs. With the team losing some solid players, it will be interesting to see if they can make it back to the top of the leaderboard once more.
