Round 3 of the Kate Sheppard Cup is on this weekend 23/24 June
SATURDAY 23 JUNE
Upper Hutt City (WL) v Wairarapa United (WL), Maidstone, KO 12pm
One meeting between these clubs in the cup, Rapa won 9-0 in 1999 on their way to the final. Last years semi finalists, Upper Hutt have been struggling with a small squad this season, while Rapa have taken their position as main challengers to Wellington United.
Both league games have been close, a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 win to Rapa
PICK : Rapa - I've been picking against the Upper Hutt men's team so much that the club has asked me to keep doing it, as I have always been getting it wrong, so if I pick Rapa here, same thing should happen for the women right?
SUNDAY 24 JUNE
Waterside Karori (CP) v Wellington United (WL), Wakefield, KO 1pm
First meeting of these clubs in the cup. Both teams unbeaten in their leagues. Expect Karori to put up a good fight but it won't be enough for Wellington United who should have Mickey Robertson and Jayme Lee Hunter playing and if not they will have to settle with Jemma Robertson (pending injury) and Dani Ohlsson as well as Susan, the Dutchie from PEC Zwolle
PICK : Wellington United
