plus feverish chch football is
CURRENTLY lagging behind dunedin as far as the winter competitiion is concerned and has been since 2004/2005
Southern football has offered so much in the past 5 or 6 years and acheived what? No Chatham Cup glory, no All Whites and certainly obsolutely nothing in the NZFC. If Christchurch teams were to put their top 30 players in two teams, we would have more luck in national club competitions. So good on ya if you think that Cavy v Coastal is a fair representation of Southern v Mainland football, but at the end of the day what will/have you really acheived.
You are right about the cup Cavvy an Tech have had many chances over the last 5 years to go on and do it but choked at the final hurlde but I think if you look at the Caversham team nearly all there players come throught there reserve team from a young age except maybe one local player that came from Roslyn and the 3 players that come down for university from Chch they are friends and wanted to play for the same club?I could be wrong let me know
As for Tech n Roslyn im not sure.
Is the Regional Football Chatham Cup Forum?
Fair enough Cavvy in particlar probably should have done better in the cup, they threw it away last year, but the point is what have Chch teams done in the Cup in the last 5 years, Have they even made a semi in that time? I can't even rember the last time they made a Quarter Final.
If the SPL is so inferior to Mainland why do our teams to better and players from the SPL (Wild, Overton, Schwarz, Dugdale...) play for Canterbury Utd.
Can't talk for Tech, but the majoirty of the Roslyn side played Jnr football at the club and have a few students as well. Although to be honest who really cares where they come from originally?
Did Chch Utd supporters care that Mike McGarry was from Mosgiel when he was winning Jack Batty and Cup winners medals?
. Where is Dunedin anyway?
