Not done yet for Christchurch United due to the qualification using positions (not points), although it's a bit messy because you need outcomes where they finish directly behind Coastal.
Most likely is if Christchurch United win their last 3 matches (Nelson, Coastal & Northern) and Nelson don't (United, Ferrymead, Cashmere), then they just need Nomads (Ferrymead, Wanaka, Selwyn) to get one more point than Coastal (Cashmere, United, Wanaka).
This would put Coastal 4th, United 5th and Nelson 6th
If the other matches go as expected, it is still in Christchurch United's hands, although beating Coastal will definitely be a challenge (and neither Nelson nor Northern are easy wins).
Disagree that it is in United hands, as too many results that they cannot control, assuming United can reach 25 points, but we will have to wait and see. Certainly, puts added interest in the coming rounds, have a feeling that goal difference may have a say final placings for the top half of the table.
