2018 ISPS HANDA Chatham Cup

Yes, it wasn't a typo. I watched this game. 0 - 0 at HT after a fairly even first half. 2nd half was Upper Hutt's with 3 unanswered goals. The  NCR players appeared shell-shocked at the end of the match. The UH supporters also appeared amazed with their team winning, let alone the final 3 - 0 scoreline.

When is the next round drawn?

Thursday at midday.

Thank you sir!

not actually an Olympic fan but i have been very impressed with their last few results

So, 8 teams left in Wellington, part of me hopes the big 4 (Wests, Olympic, Stop Out and Rapa) draw each other and give the under dogs a chance (Wharfies, Nth Wellington, Palmie Nth Marist and Upper Hutt) to go further, but then some of me says nah we want our big guns to represent our region when it goes national.

I left at 2-0, was bloody cold! Well done Upper Hutt.

Rumour has it, Marist will be at home vs Olympic, waiting for draw to confirm.....

Nope, Marist at home to Stop Out

olympic home to Rapa - match of the round so far

I don’t think our (Wellington) teams are as strong as other years. 

From all those teams, Wests will back themselves to win it. There is nothing in there that should scare them.

Quarterfinals v Oceania Under-20s will scare them, as will the final v Oceania Under-17s.

In all there have been 22 cup games between the different iterations of these clubs, Waterside Karori winning 10, Wests 11 and 1 draw!

Upper Hutt City currently 3rd in the table, 19 points behind North Wellington who are unbeaten this season. Score was 4-3 to North Wellington when they met in the league

PICK North Wellington

Wellington Olympic (CL) v Wairarapa United (CL), Wakefield, KO 5:45pm

Yayyyy a late game so us anoraks can get to see at least two Chatham Cup games in a day!

Both past winners of the cup, this is the first time these clubs will have met as they are. in 1977 Christian Youth (as Olympic were known) lost 2-1 to Masterton, who are now part of Rapa

League meetings this season have both gone to Olympic 2-1 (h) & 4-2 (a)

PICK Stop Out

Sorry Piney & Siggie but come on Upper Hutt!!

? what's Piney got to do with North Wellington?

Didn't he used to play for them many moons ago?

don't think so, I know he did play for Wellington United and Nelson Suburbs and thought he played for Tawa most recently

They got out muscled last year.  Bay Olympic must had a couple of inches and 10 kilos on average over them and were just stronger in any 50/50 situation.  Not illegal play just much stronger and larger.

confirmed didn't play for North Wellington, did play 250 games in National, Central & Capital leagues between 1990 & 2010

Tawa (73 games, 7 goals)

Nelson United (7, 1)

Nelson Suburbs (36, 6)

Wellington United (55, 19)

Wellington United reserves (51, 20)

Miramar Rangers Reserves (3, 0)

BNU (11, 1)

Cheers.

olympic is gonna kill wairarapa, huge new signing up the front will comfortably give them the win. prediction 6-1 to olympic

Huge and a striker? Must be Ronaldo. Or Adriano. Maybe Jardel.

didn't think Henry Fa'rado was that huge! - good signing though!

Peter Crouch? or the bus who used to play at Wimbeldon

he is going to have a huge impact on the cup, other teams beware of the big man

How recently was he signed? Can he play in the Cup? He's only just recently arrived in the country..

Thought he needed to play two games before a Cup appearance.

nah just ten days registered i think

That rule went a few seasons back as feverish states

north Wellington 3.2 over upper hutt

Coastal Spirit’s famed defence lived up to its reputation, holding out Cashmere Technical for 120 minutes (first time this season they have been unable to score from open play). But in the only thing that counts, the penalties went Cashmere’s way, 3-2.

Second time as was scoreless between the two sides in round 2 of the MPL back in March.

Blenheim Rangers 0 Nelson Suburbs 1 (Eddie Sillars 47 min)
