Chatham Cup Final - 26th August Newtown Park

Bohemian Celtic v Onehunga Sports – Bill McKinlay Park
Mt Albert Ponsonby v Eastern Suburbs – Anderson Park

Oooh, home matches both against good teams. Bohs' goal for this Cup is to get far enough so that we can have a drunken supporters' bus trip somewhere, but getting past OneSports will be no picnic, even if you don't get ants on artificial. MAP will have to pull their socks up to progress also.

Norwest away. Piss easy.

Bay Olympic in the 1st round. Geez

We will be the only Shore team left come round 3 at this rate.

Double digit scoreline coming up for Birko.

I'd love to knock them out.

Does anyone hate Easts or OneSports, so one of my teams can knock one of them out?

I'd like both your teams to win to open up the possibility of another easy draw for Birko in the next round.

Although the way Suburbs are going that would be easy too.

Didn't MAP only beat the Auckland Grammar school kids on penalties? Hard to see them going much further tbh

Waikato Unicol are the only non-top league Waikato side left, beat Glenfield Rovers - the joy of the cup. No way I predicted that one.......

Bay v ECB will be the game of the round 

just going to have a wee punt at the northern region

Diamonds  v. Mar should be an early cup classic

wanganui city v island bay

anyone know much about the island bay team travelling to wanganui today.

wanganui city unbeaten so far this season 6 wins and 2 draws not sure how they will go today but hopefully a good game, a little damp in wanganui today but not to bad to play football. i think it is a 2.00pm kickoff thinking about going over to watch if the weather holds off.

Played them yesterday

Young team, very good on the ball. basically if u let them play they will dominate most teams with there speed and passing but if you bully them in midfield etc then you can get on top. But it would def be a good game to watch

cheers macca, i think wanganui are the type of team to play like bullys have not watched many of their games this year as we always seem to be playing at the same time as them. i have to make a my mind up walk over and watch football or sit by the computer and watch football.

Just about to head off to the Olympic vs Bays game. CMON BAYS

Any of the scores up anywhere?

4-3 To Olympic over Bays. Some very dodgy referring. Pretty much Olympic took there chances and bays didn't. Bays were down 3-0 and came back to 3-2. Got a player sent off as a 2nd yellow.

Tbh I thought ECB were the better team and had a lot more chances.

Roslyn 4-1 over Queen's Park, goals from Foster, Govan, Watson and Fernado.

Some scores, best I can do:

Ham Wanderers 8 Papakura 0

Melville 3 Ranui Swanson 0

Bay Olympic 4 ECB 3

Oratia 3 Waikato Unicol 0

Central 4 Tauranga 0

Birko 8 Norwest 0

Takapuna 3 Ngongotaha 1

Mirimar 2 Wellington United 0

Coastal Spirit 2 Universities 1

Three Kings 6 Waiuku 2

Nelson Suburbs 9 FC Nelson 1

Wairarapa United 7 New Plymouth Rangers 3

Mainland Region.

Cashmere Technical 6 Halswell 1

University of Canty 1 Coastal Spirit 2

Western 3 FC Twenty11 0

FC Nelson 1 Nelson Suburbs 9 

Dn Tech 11-0. 7nil at the break. 6nil up after half an hour. A few young players bought on by Fridge in 2nd half. Red card to Old Boys CB for double yellow. One team in it.

Olympic are cup chokers. 

Not 100% about these scores but heard Stop Out beat Olympic  4-2. Upper Hutt beat Palmerston North Marist 4-3. Lower Hutt 3-0 over Taradale.

Westlake Boys 7 Manurewa 2.

Varsity 1 Nthern 0

Caversham lead Braes 1nil at the half.

Aye I was told one nil to Napier. Wharf had one disallowed with five to go and Napier scored at the death

Ah sorry you are correct! Wires crossed with Lower Hutt game.

Napier 1-0 over Karori. Wanganui City 1-0 over Island Bay. Heard Maycenvale went to extra time with Inglewood and eventually won 4-0

Scores corrected/edited.

Olympic -Stop Out game was madness

Olympic 1 nil up after 10, then one all till half time.

Stop Out go 2-1 up, Gulley finishing from top of the box brilliantly. Olympic then had Chaz sent off for second yellow. Olympic then score with five to go.

First half of extra time nothing much.

Then in the second half, McPeake injures his leg taking a goal kick, plays on. Stop Out then score a fairly average goal. McPeake then makes a wonder save and completely shags himself. Olympic had made all their subs so were down to 9 players now. Sub goalie rugby tackles a SO guy round the neck and Gully curls in the free kick to make it 4-2.

Olympic were better then SO in regulation time. Abba just couldn't score/SO keeper had a bloody great game

Slightly harsh, there were two teams, one stood in the head lights and smashed. 

upper hutt v palmy marist

upper hutt up 4-1 with about 20 to go, made 3 subs, brought on two 16 year olds and changed the game.

pretty scrapy game but upper hutt deserverd to win

Mixed weekend for stop out.

Is being sent off seen as an honorable thing at Olympic? 

waitemata 3 or 4-0 against otumoetai. Waitemata dominated the game but forgot how to shoot, 1-0 at half time should of been 4-0 at half time. otumoetai must of missing players they were quite poor.

shooting practice for waitemata.

Joining them in the draw made later this week are Westlake Boys High School, who thrashed Northern Premier League side Manurewa 7-2 with Dylan Stansfield – who normally plays for Manurewa – one of three players to net twice for the schoolboys.

How can he do that? Anyone know how that works?

I'm not sure but I imagine he can choose which side he plays for and that is the side that he has to stay with for the rest of the cup. Clearly he made the right choice.
