Keinzley said Wairarapa would not only have been strong enough to be competitive but could have won the national title.
"We were absolutely rapt with the quality of players who had already signified their intentions to play for us," Keinzley said, adding there was no saying whether Wairarapa would apply again next year.
"We'll have to sit back and think that through, now isn't the best time to be making any predictions on that."
Meanwhile, Wairarapa will be on their guard when they play Tawa in a Central League match at Howard Booth Park in Carterton tomorrow.
The form book says a comfortable win to Wairarapa is on the cards but they aren't taking anything for granted.
History shows Tawa to be a side that often produces something special when they have their backs to the wall.
Also, Wairarapa know that a loss - or even a draw - could seriously damage their chances of winning the Central League competition for the first time.
For the latter scenario to occur the equation is simple: Wairarapa trail Olympic by two points but with a game in hand and three points for a victory the title is guaranteed if they can win all their remaining six games.
If they don't manage that then not only Olympic but also the fast-closing Napier City Rovers and Miramar Rangers - both of whom Wairarapa United have still to play in the second round - will come into serious contention.
Fijian international Esava Naqueleca seems certain to make his debut in the Wairarapa colours tomorrow, probably off the bench in the second half. His versatility is illustrated by his playing at fullback for Fiji at senior level and in midfield for their under-23s.
Wairarapa will again be without striker Seule Soromon, whose goal-scoring stats - over 100 goals in something like 70 games for the club - spells out perfectly his value.
