The other games in other rounds have all had time and/or date changes so hopefully that means we have an updated draw.

Yes it doesn't look good at the moment. We are only 3 games off finishing the Southern League, so we will be ready to go before the Northerners. But with longer lockdowns in Auckland it's not looking good, which sucks when Coastal are in 2nd place to qualify and have a great run in!
settled? it needs final

Getting real interesting now, certainly didn't expect Uni to get 6 points from 6. And they've got GI next... could be 9 from 9.
Wait, aren't our banana skins Tech, Suburbs, ChCh Utd, Selwyn and any team from Dunedin??
Looks like Round 1 catch-up game now confirmed
Sunday 1 August Midday

Any hope for CashTech and Uni in the upcoming Chatham Cup games? Tbh I can see at least one reaching SFs. Uni on much better form than NSU albeit in a worse league, and Hamilton have been really shark lately. But cup football can be a bit of a unique beast...
Do we know any games that are televised?

Cashmere Technical's progression in the Chatham Cup has led to changes in this weekend's fixtures:
Otago University v. Cashmere Technical Sunday 8th August 1pm Logan Pk Turf
Selwyn Utd v. Cash Tech and Otago Uni v. Green Island have been postponed from 7th and 8th August respectively to later mid-week dates, yet to be advised.

Ah I see, was a bit confused at first why NZF site was showing those two games as being delayed. Should be a real test of Uni - time to show if they really are a contender against the dominant team of South Island footy!

Good bunch of games coming up this weekend, hard to pick most of 'em.
Coastal look in tune and Christchurch United not been impressive at all so far, but both have good teams. Coastal to grab another 1-0 win maybe.
Royals and Suburbs both not as many points as perhaps hoped by now, Suburbs winless but have had hard fixtures. Long way to travel, think that home advantage could be pivotal in this one so Royals to win 3-1.
Uni been really good so far and playing some great football... Cashmere I suppose had the blip against Coastal but all in all still look a classy team, gave Hamilton a footballing lesson. Cashmere 4-2 in my book.

Cashmere easy-peasy over Uni today, caught a bit of the other game, Nelson dreadful from what i saw, from what i heard, SCR should've had a least 4-5?
Round 3 catch-up game between Selwyn and Cashmere Technical will be played this Wednesday - 11 August at 7:30pm at English Park.
Honestly wouldn't say so, yes Royals had a lot of chances first half and could have scored more than two, but Nelson had their moments too and dominated the second half in all honesty, a game that could have gone either way. Big three points for Royals but boy was it tight.
Didn't focus much on the other game, seemed like Cashmere were quite clinical first half then dominated the second? Certainly looked like Uni had their moments first half but seemed to simmer down second half once the game was done. Best score updates we've ever had from another game as we just have to turn around and look who is celebrating when we hear a roar!

Feel a bit for Nelson as with 1 point from 3 games they're all but out of National League contention, seems they've played three tight games against good opponents but only come out with a point to show for it.
Probably making determinations too early but for me looks like the current top 5 are the teams in contention... but we'll see what Selwyn show against the Mainland and then Southern champions first.

So are Nomads officially promoted as per Mainland's and their own Facebook? No playoff with Blenheim?
Perhaps Blenheim/Richmond/FC Nelson have expressed that they don't want to play at that level?
From NZ Football a few minutes ago - Southern League is considered as part of the National League:
All competitions and community football and futsal suspended this weekend
All competitions and community football and futsal suspended this weekend
Following the government’s move to Alert Level 4 last night after a community case of COVID-19 was discovered, New Zealand Football can confirm that all community football and futsal across the country, as well as National League, Chatham Cup and NZ Football Foundation Kate Sheppard Cup matches, are suspended this weekend (21/22 August 2021).
While only Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula are currently set to be at Alert Level 4 for the weekend, with the rest of the country’s initial three-day period set to end on Friday 20 August, due to the short turnaround time between moving down Alert Levels, and the possibility of a lockdown extension, the decision has been taken to suspend all activity out of an abundance of caution.
Daniel Farrow, General Manager, Football at New Zealand Football said:
“We never want to be in the position of suspending activity across Aotearoa but to give clubs and players certainty, New Zealand Football and our federations believe this is the best decision for the game.”
“Even if the areas outside of Auckland and the Coromandel do exit Alert Level 4 after three days, it gives clubs very little time to make the necessary preparations for activity the next day. With the Delta strain of the virus we felt it made sense to not rush this process and make the decision now to allow clubs to inform their members in good time”.
At Alert Level 4 all football and futsal activity is suspended across the country. This includes this weekend’s semi-finals of New Zealand Football’s cup competitions where Miramar Rangers v North Shore United and Cashmere Technical v Western Suburbs in the Chatham Cup, plus Coastal Spirit v Hamilton Wanderers and Wellington United v Eastern Suburbs in the NZ Football Foundation Kate Sheppard Cup, will be rescheduled.
For information on what activity is permitted at Alert Level 4 please visit Sport NZ’s website. New Zealand Football will be publishing football and futsal specific return to play guidance when Alert Level changes allow activity to resume.

Surely the National League national round is in jeopardy now

actually didnt mean to put this in the Sthrn Lge ha. But yeah Northern has like 5 games?
Yer I guess they could postpone the National League so it was just before and just after Christmas perhaps?
But they'll just cancel it I guess.
But they'll just cancel it I guess.
Still reckon it could be done. With the Northern League and perhaps even the Central League, surely it could just be called as is? Central NL spots and relegation is sorted and Northern looks relatively settled.
That would put Auckland City, United, ESFC, Birks, Miramar, Olympic, Wests, Nix Reserves, and probably Cashmere and Coastal in the national round.
