Chatham Cup 2011

Fifteen-nil.  Bloody hell.  Anyone get 6 or 7 for United or were they shared?  Or did you lose count?

I was down at Stembridge rd for a highly entertaining cup tie twixt Ngongotaha and Rotorua Utd- 3-2 at the break and again at full time. Ngongotaha were young, fit and fast and fully deserved the win.
Love that Ngongotaha home ground with the mist rolling down the mountain and the hard case locals commentating on the hill. choice one.

Three hat-tricks and the rest shared around.

Emi 4 in a half hour cameo off the bench I believe

I stayed for the first 25" mins and WU were very composed.

Feel for you.

 From where I was standing I thought you'd clearly handled it. Talked to another guy and he was adamant you were in the right!

Dairyflat's new top distracted you!!

Yeah it was tough for the ref, he could of over-ruled his lino but he didn't have a clear view of it - tbh if it had hit my hand I'd happily admit it but I never went in trying to make a fingertip save or anything. Even the SO players agreed it was rough. Definitely hit the side of my chest, I had a red ball mark on it in the showers!

I watched Island bay v. Marist today.
James Eadie conceeded an own goal in the fist half to open the scoring for Marist.
Game finished 3-2 to Island bay. Marist unlucky to lose, Had plenty of chances.
Eadie got one back for himself too.

MAGS came to grief at Old Blues. They passed the ball around well, had a couple of decent centre defenders, but didn't stretch the home defence wide enough. Very wet though probably helped the locals.

classic coverage from *smoked trout* to *hard out scores with multiple hat-tricks* and lots of 'correspondents' a wee ways from home

Easter footy-web haha

For the record, face is alright

funny this..

when is the draw made for the next round?

Today I think.

Paekakariki were 3-1 up in their contest, half time 3-3, before running out of puff in the 2nd half.

My mob, Pukekohe, were absolute mud. Played like they'd never seen each other before and got exactly what they desrved, a 3 - 0 whupping. Could've been worse if our keeper hadn't saved a penalty.

Draw out now.

Love it - Lower Hutt or Wests out in the first round, but thank God that Inglewood will safely make it to the second...

Two absolute cake walks for Island Bay and Stop Out

Eastbourne followed by Olympic...hmmm

Agreed, Inglewood so deserve to be there.

Ellerslie away. Love it.

..........Stokes Valley v Miramar around 1987 was a absolute cake walk too....except they forgot to tell Stokes Valley who won 3-2

Northern draw, my predicted winners in bold:

Norwest Utd v Mangere Utd
Westlake Boys High School v Taupo AFC
Glenfield Rovers v Mt Albert-Ponsonby AFC
Hibiscus Coast AFC v Otumoetai
Ngaruawahia Utd AFC v Papatoetoe AFC
Old Blues v Eastern Suburbs AFC
Kerikeri AFC v Waiuku AFC
Lynn-Avon Utd AFC v Tauranga Boys College
Manurewa AFC v Onehunga Mangere Utd AFC
Waitemata AFC v Papakura City FC
Bohemian Celtic v Fencibles Utd AFC
Ellerslie AFC v Birkenhead Utd AFC

Fencies are pretty bad actually and i can see them coming unstuck here. Would also pick Matamata to beat Albany out of that lot. Never easy down there on the small pitch and spongy grass, Albany are hot and cold and will be in for a tough time.

Game of the weekend in WGTN. Olympic v Wgtn United at Newtown Park.

replay of the same round last year which diamonds won???

I think I'll try get along to the Warkworth v Ngongotaha game. If pushed for time then possibly Norwest v Mangere although I think that will not be a pretty one to watch, especially so if you're cheering for the boys from the West.

Seems the balcony at Harcourt Park upper Hutt is going to be rocking this week to [according to the local rag] with the local lads taking on wharfies who are now coached by the previous UH coach [changed ship in the off season] should be a good match top v bottom of the table with a bit of the bragging rights thrown in.

Does anyone know if NZFootball keeps records like youngest player to ever play Chatham Cup?

Not that I know of and even if they could access club databases for player ages that wouldn't capture the young schoolboy players. MAGS had a kid called Monty Patterson who played in the cup this year; he's still 14 but I bet there have been younger players than him.

Ian Quilter - player/coach at Waikanae - on Newstalk ZB Wellington/Kapiti at 7.20am tomorrow ahead of their clash with Island Bay.

Okay. Nelson Suburbs have a player who just turned 14 on their bench for tomorrow's clash with FC Nelson. But the school aspect does kind of change the significance there. Would be one of the youngest club players that's for sure.

Not necessarily Stop Out had a couple of young 14 year-olds last round come of the bench against naenae.
