Chatham Cup 2014

Played for then coached and managed Burwood at various times in 80s and 90s.  After my time the senior club disappeared.  Now living in Wellington and heard on the grapevine that they were on their way back.  After hearing this result looked them up on the Mainland website and saw that after 4 games they are 12 points with 36 goals for and 1 against.

We did that is the 80s (not quite that good) winning promotion 4 seasons in a row after starting in the lower leagues.  Some great Chatham Cup memories too as we came through the grades.  Losing at home 2-1 to New Brighton in 1985 and the same score away to Burnside in 1987.  beating Mid Canterbury (1 league higher) in 1996 at English Park and then losing 7-1 to Chch Utd the same year also at English Park, who had Danny Halligan and a young Ryan Nelsen playing.  Our young mascot that day was a certain Aaron Clapham.  Then beating New Brighton the following year at Bexley. 

Happy memories and hopefully more to come for the current generation at Clare Park

Be nice if UHutt vs Rapa was late so we could catch two.

CF website says Upper Hutt v Rapa is 1.30pm.

I've pleaded to IBU to have a late kick off. Get on twitter news.

2ndbest can you pls tip Tawa to win 

Yep

Need to get IBU to play at 5 and Upper Hutt to have a 7:30 KO

Havelock in with another good chance to progress

As a spectator it really would be nice if they did play some games at different times so if people wanted to they could go watch a couple of matches.

People will go and watch the game their club is in, but that doesn't mean they aren't interested in how other teams do.

I really do hope they get to play at Clare park.Its there ground and deserve to play it where they want.

So?

If every Chatham cup game is played at English park .... BORING!... and also you lose the magic of cup ties on away pitches; to say nothing of the home team making some dough by running a BBQ and clubrooms bar and atmosphere. Etc

I agree its a horrid pitch, but they deserve to have the tie at home. Be good to see the big boys from tech trying to navigate it

Last time I played at Clare I swear there was not a blade of grass to be seen on it. Game stops every time the ball is kicked across the motorway, the tech lads will love it. not quite the carpet they train on at cranford st.
