Chatham Cup 2011

Fulcher is a midget and was in welli last season

Are Onehunga quite strong at home? Cavy might win this in extra time i think.

Big ask for Dunedin Tech tomorrow, Bay Olympic would have the best line up in nz club football at the moment? but it might snow in Dunners tomorrow, so you can't count tech out of it

haha good luck Bay Olympic, just watching the weather on the news, most of their players wouldn't have played in these conditions before.

Objectively, Sports ground looks nice but it takes 15 mins to turn to custard. With the Auckland weather, it will be boggy, the ball will hold up and you should bring long long studs. Mud bath will be approriate.

Sports are not a great team but Prince is looking more like a footballer than a complete headcase in a central midfield role. Generally speaking, I would not pick Sports to win this based on the fact that Caversham traditionally go deep in the cup. I have to be honest and say I don't know who plays for Caversham but I would doubt there would be anyone in the Sports team that would scare them. Lovemore is the only one but he is not there. Fulcher was there early on but I'm not sure about recently.

I just hope its an entertaining game.

Will be at the Tech game 2mro. Can't get on here on my fone, but can get on twitter and will tweet some updates using the hashtag #chathamcupIf anyone can do that at other games, It'd be much appreciated.

Heading over to the 'Rapa vs Waitak game, will do the same.

Bring something warm Steelo. Weather up to its usual standard. Advice to anyone looking at coming over to the Rapa game today from the Hutt. Head all the way through Carterton then take the last left (Kent Street). Go over Railway tracks, and about 300m up the road is closer access to Howard Booth 3. Grandstands are on this side. Saves having to walk all the way from the clubrooms.TSMA2011-07-24 08:47:06

No scored in Dunedin after 30 minutes between Dunedin Technical and Bay Olympic, stopped snowing 5 minutes before kick-off and heard Caversham is leading 3 -nil over Onehunga Sports, that game started at 1pm.

Half time in Dunedin 0 - 0 and unsure if the Caversham game has finished yet but they were leading 4 - nil into stoppage time. Was told 4 red cards - 3 dished out to Onehunga and one to Cavvy.  AllWhites822011-07-24 14:59:53

2all ncr stu again

sabatu scores 4-1,

Must surely be over now. Wonder how the Dunedin game is going.

Went to the Cavvy-Sports game. Was a bit of a farce in the end. Pitch was dreadful and made it hard for both sides to play. For a scrappy game there were still lots of chances though and even possession. Ref lost control midway through the 2nd half with 3 reds in 2 mins. Cavvy deserved it though and look extremely potent going forward. #6, #8 and #10 were all very impressive for Cavvy.

ET in napier game

Extra time in Dunedin with Dunedin Tech scoring late in the game. Started to snow at the game.  AllWhites822011-07-24 15:55:30

Tried to get to the Dunedin game but couldnt get up Lookout point from the south (Snow has compacted and dangereous), looking out the window it is as white as an Engerland Shirt..

Convincing win for rapa. Game in the bay sounds epic

napier 3-2 up matt single

Dunedin Tech scored so now up 2 - 1. First period of extra time just ended. 

When was the last time no Auckland based clubs featured in the semi finals? Could be possible today!

Well done Rapa.
