2017 ISPS HANDA Chatham Cup

Happy with Central's draw haven't been to Taharoto Park in a long long time. 

It's pretty much always been the next round, when there is 2 Mainland teams and 2 Football South teams left, when they are drawn together.

Matamata Swifts Vs North Shore Utd looks very tasty.

Agreed, but this said differently

Ah. So it does. I agree then!

that came from NZ Football so you can take it with a pinch of salt!

At least they didn't draw any teams that had already been knocked out this time

the entire game on Youtube here:

Journey Fan I pinched a couple of your facts, hope you don't mind:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/9392606...

No probs, I just read that article and thought you may have!

You still headed to Napier? I might be keen plus one other

Aye DM me on Twitter

Petone have all the cup experience in their squad and coaching staff though :)

I'm already lining up "age and experience over youth and enthusiasm" if Petone manage a Cupset! :)

Central region Chatham Cup scores from today

Petone 0 Wests 7 (3rd game in a row in Chatham Cup Wests have scored 7)

Stop Out 3 North Welly 2

Miramar 3 Tawa 0

Napier v Rapa tomorrow 2pm ko

Mainland Fed Result

Cashmere Technical 7 (Lyle Mathysen 3, Gary Ogilvie 2, Tom Schwarz - pen, Ben Stroud) Nomads 0 HT 2 - 0

Went to Hibiscus v Onehunga at Stanmore Bay.

Half Time saw prospects of a cupset with HBC 1-0 up although the only action the Onehunga keeper had was to pick the ball out of the net after a crashing 20 yarder.

2nd half saw the difference in class take over and Onehunga ran out 5-1 winners.

First time I have seen Onehunga this season - interesting to see Adam Milne in a playmaker role rather than a left sided defender that was common at Auckland City . Was the best player on the pitch.

The young 16 year old LB for HBC Curtis Mogg who is off to the WPSS in Wgtn next year looks promising.

Wish some Referee would shut up Fletcher in the HBC goal - he is an embarrassment in my view.

Andrew Milne. Class player, still only 25. More than a few ACFC fans sorry to see him leave. Ramon seemed to prefer promoting Alfie Rogers to keeping Milny. Or maybe Milny got the hump.

FT: Nelson Suburbs 1 (Ross McPhie) Coastal Spirit 0 HT 1 - 0

Caught the first half of Stop Out vs North Welly.  Stop Out were behind for most of the first half in a pretty swampy Hutt Park after an early goal but had the best of play for the rest of the half.  Midfielder/goalkeeper Karl Romijn in goal for North Wellington was busy but kept things tight.  

Off field highlight of the match was perpetually injured younger brother of coach Sambrooke being asked if he was Sambo's son.

Then nipped over to Petone to watch the Oles trample all over Petone.  Petone had patches where they were competitive but Wests carried on the 7 goal cup form and the league form from last week vs Wairarapa to win it at a canter.

Once again thanks to Capital Football who for the third round running have had the decency to cancel or postpone the Nighthawks for me.

Does anyone know when the draw for the next round will take place? Also will it still be divided into Northern, Central/Capital and Mainland/Southern regions or will this be the first round when they aren't allocated into regions?

Tuesday midday

Northern (8 teams), Central (4 teams) and South Island (4 teams) are the regions, though I'm wary Nelson Suburbs' involvement may lead to Mainland and Southern regions staying split, as it's a wrinkle that hasn't been present in recent years. We'll see. Hopefully not.

Nelson Suburbs will get Queenstown Rovers away!

Home teams first, round to be played weekend of 15-16th July.

Northern/Auckland

Three Kings v Birkenhead United

Central United v North Shore

Onehunga Sport v Melville United

Western Springs v Bay Olympic

Central/Capital

Wairarapa United v Miramar Rangers

Stop Out v Western Suburbs

Mainland/Southern

Cashmere Tech v Caversham

Queenstown Rovers v Nelson Suburbs

...

Dear 'rapa folks pls let us know schedule ASAP.

KTHXBI

rigged draw? nah it's just that Nelson Suburbs haven't been competing in the Chatham Cup for the last few years due to cost and so when I saw who was in the draw, knew it would just have to be that - apparently the Nelson Suburbs fans called it in the club rooms after winning the Coastal Spirit game. If they beat Queenstown, they'll no doubt get an away trip to Auckland!

Anyway I went to Napier on Sunday for the Napier v Wairarapa game. 

Here is my write up (don't worry I<3 Nix I didn't mention you breaking my car ;-))

And some photos

he took a 1 in 3 shot and got it right.

that's a better ratio than when I played as a striker!

1 in 6 surely - called opposition and home/away.

This is the truth.

Highlights: Western Suburbs v Petone

Central United (NPL) v North Shore United (NL1) #CENvNSU

Sunday 16th July, Kiwitea Street, KO 2pm

Two Chatham Cup giants, both clubs have won the cup 6 times apiece. 

Although it is very much a case of the old and new guard, North Shore's last triumph coming in 1986. Kevin Fallon was reminiscing in his blog about when he was in charge there and commented  "These days Shore are a club in decline. The grandstands are relics of a bygone day when people paid to support the team. Very little if anything has changed. It's as if time has stood still and North Shore United is in a 1980's time warp"

In the 1980's Central United were in the bottom Northern league division (4 north) and just starting to make their climb up the leagues, they won their first Chatham Cup in 1997. It's the first time in 10 years the clubs have met in a competitive fixture

Previous Chatham Cup meetings

1991 Central United (NL1) 1 North Shore United (NL) 5

2007 Central United (NLP) 3 North Shore United (NLP) 1

Best performance

Central United – Won x6 (1997,98,2000,05,07,12)

North Shore United – Won x6 (1952,60,63,67,79,86)

Gonna be bloody freezing at Masterton on Saturday night

for the wins - West, Wairarapa, Caversham, Nelson (would like qtwn to get up though), Onehunga (but be supporting melville), Bay Olymp (love to see western springs topple them), Birko, Central
