A lot of one-sided games for the last 16! Were the draws in prior rounds a bit uneven because I don't remember a ton of upsets...

Quaterfinals
Fencibles United vs Auckland City
Hibiscus Coast vs Napier City Rovers
Cashmere Technical vs Miramar Rangers
Nelson Suburbs vs Auckland United

Edit: Whoops, didn’t read the competition calendar properly.

Trump must be a Napier fan with the draw they have had 

Quarterfinal times and venues confirmed:

Sat 25/7 6:00pm Fencibles United vs Auckland City (Riverhills Park)

Sun 26/7 12:30pm Cashmere Technical vs Miramar Rangers (Garrick Memorial Park)

Sun 26/7 1:00pm Hibiscus Coast vs Napier City Rovers (Stanmore Bay Park)

Sun 26/7 1:30pm Nelson Suburbs vs Auckland United (Saxton Fields)

I'll be up in Auckland that weekend to watch Spurs beat some no-name team, so might try to make the Fencibles/ACFC match on Saturday.

Fencibles v ACFC sure delivered the drama, even for a visiting neutral. It looked like it was going to extra time until Fencies scored in the 88th minute, only for City to be awarded a penalty right at the end of injury time.

When Fencies’ keeper saved it the crowd on the clubroom balcony went wild!

Full-time
Cashmere Technical 2 (Zander Edwards, Garbhan Coughan - pen) Miramar 1 (Joseph Harris) HT 0 - 1
Nelson Suburbs 2 (Trevin Myers - pen Johnny Reynolds) Auckland United 1 (Ben Wallace) HT 0 - 1

For all my heart was with Miramar out of Wellington pride, now that Cashmere are through I hope they draw a home semi - a CC/KSC double header would be fun.

Also, rough weekend for AU…
