Kāpiti Coast United, Waikanae, Paekākāriki, Ōtaki, and Manakau football clubs have all joined forces to launch a new club, Te Kotahitanga. 

The historic rivals are teaming up to give players on the coast every opportunity to play top level football, without the need to head down and play for a Wellington team. 

Te Kotahitanga technical director Scott Easthope joined Adam Cooper to explain how the collaboration began.
