Tawa v Olympic - CANCELLED

Were these late decision? Did the ref declare the pitched to be unfit for play?  Just got back from driving to alex wembley to see a couple of seaguls.

I think tawa would be pretty guttered about getting cancelled.  Would have had a good chance again raf-less olympic on the mud field

Not as gutted as Wharfies, losing home (mud)field advantage to Miramar...

I see the game has already been rescheduled for next Saturday, so Olympic will still be Raf-less....

and redwood will still be a mud field

both teams turn up to alex moore to decide the game will now be played next sat... reason game wasn't played at kura street instead of alex moore for tawa... club pres can't find key for kura changing sheds .... *(jaw drops)*... un f**king belivable.

Wests 4-0 over Island Bay pictch was horrendous! 4-0 after 50 min game basically over and calcott took off Jenkins, Cheriton, Etc and wests lost there way a bit but got the job done. Think goals were Dave Johnson, Sam Jenkins 1 or 2 and Roddy Brown 1 or 2 couldnt quite see cause was in my car in the parking lot.

Yeah your exactly right it was kinda like beach soccer required skills cannot believe they went ahead with the game! the funniest bit was early in 2nd when jenkins got through against the goalie and slotted it past him only for the ball to stop in a massive puddle on the line!

LH vs Marist cancelled after ref's decision with players out there.

Incessant rain (Lower Hutt the wettest place in NZ today according to the news, 23mm since midnight) left standing water on the pitch, ref considered transferring it to Fraser Park, but with a match there already having being called off it never happened.

Taupo's Cup Thunder Stolen by MAGS Drama -->

June 2

NZF/AUCKLAND - Taupo AFC pulled off the biggest upset of the 81st Chatham Cup�s second round but their stunning 5-3 win over Northern Premier League Tauranga City United was overshadowed by a nine-goal epic between Fencibles and Mount Albert Grammar.

Taupo stunned a Tauranga City side two divisions above them but neither that, nor Bay League Te Puke�s 5-4 upset win over Rotorua United, could compete with the drama and controversy unfolding at Fencibles� Riverhills Park

Zane Christensen�s sixth minute penalty was saved as an early indication of the excitement to follow and after just 15 minutes of play Fencibles had a 2-1 lead with Norm Archery and Christensen both responding to Mark Withers� opener within the space of 90 seconds.

Sean Gillham put Fencibles� further ahead in the 22nd minute but in another burst of scoring Zane Sole and Jonathan Raj had the schoolboys level again within three minutes.

Second goals to Christensen and Raj sent the sides into halftime locked at 4-4, but the scoring dried up until Zane Sole grabbed the winner for MAGS seven minutes from time.

The drama didn�t finish there � with Fencibles missing a late chance to send the game to extra time � and may yet continue with Fencibles planning to protest MAGS fielding a player sent off in the schoolboys side�s previous match.

Elsewhere, current holders Central United eased into their defence with a 9-2 romp over Oratia United, while Glenfield Rovers and East Coast Bays also enjoyed lop-sided wins in the top half of the North Island.

In the South Island, the progress of first round giant killers Cashmere was halted by a 2-3 loss to fellow Christchurch Premier League side Avon, while the cup dreams of Timaru�s Northern Hearts and Invercargill�s Old Boys were crushed by 0-8 defeats to respective Southern Premier League giants Dunedin Technical and Caversham on Saturday.

Nelson Suburbs claimed another previous winner�s scalp with a 3-0 win over Woolston Technical � who won the cup as Tech Old Boys � to add to a round one derby win over Nelson United, while Dunedin�s Northern needed a penalty shootout to get past Otago University after a goalless stalemate.

In Wellington, Petone handed Central League neighbours Stop Out a 7-0 thrashing, while three-time winners Miramar had an easier-than-expected victory by the same scoreline over four-time champions Waterside-Karori.

It was a heartbreaking round for Manawatu teams as Palmerston North End and 2005 finalists Palmerston North Marist both lost five goal thrillers � to Inglewood and Napier City Rovers respectively.

Tawa�s match against Wellington Olympic and (Wellington) Marist�s trip to Lower Hutt City were delayed a week due to inclement weather in the capital, but those sides will have the luxury of knowing their potential third round opponents when the draw is released on Wednesday.

Was at the Waiuku v Onehunga Sports game. Bit of an upset, a good win for Waiuku. Highlight of the game was seeing Ross Nicolson sent packing from the dugout for gobbing off at the ref. 

Was at the Birko v Mangere game. Enough said.

Was at the bay olympic v melville game, if mike hester is nz's top ref we need to have a good look, at least 3 or 4 bo players should have been booked for agricultural tackles (tsk) in the first half, nothing and then he sends off melville centre forward for tackling his own player in nthe 79th.... at least che bunce popped up with a screamer to win it for melville that was very richly deserved.. And those Bay olympic fans that abused the melville supporters wuth the dog and mutt calls need a life, at least theu support there side on the road.

Wharfies possibly could've had a pen early on before Mar scored their first....that could've been your 1....

Allen Chote was my man of the match - his goal was a ripper but he played very well coming forward all arvo and tracked back tirelessly to nulify most of your left sided attacks.

Was it 3 or 4? I was told by someone watchting that it was 4. What happened ,was one disallowed and no-one noticed? Browner_2008-06-02 23:49:46

Hmm.

Barry Lewis.

Jamie O'Conner.

Nuff said?

fair enough Steve, I am just going on what I saw on Saturday and your goals against for the season = 15...

after seeing the results yesterday, maybe there is a bigger gap than I expected between the leagues.  Island Bay and Wharfies will be there or there abouts pushing for promotion all season, but were handled yesterday. Even more so considering the weather which tends to be a leveller.... 

Still think Tawa had/has the best shot, but after yesterdays rsults that chance is probably lower than I thought..

Actually no not enough said i'm afraid. Mangere are a racist club/team who only pick Fijian Indian players, regardless of whether you are good enough or not. Can you imagine the uproar in this country if a club/team decided they would only pick White players? They're a joke club who won't gain any respect ever if they keep up such an absurd policy.

Rant over and out.

They haven't always.  Stack used to coach them and Miro Major was there then among others.

I wonder if Buffon would be saying this if Birkenhead hadn't copped a 4-1 stuffing on home turf?

I believe Richard Gillespie even played in goal there for a season and he isn't fijian!

here's the latest rigged draw

I need a rainy day in the next two weeks.  Then there is a good chance I'll be on Endeavour 2 while that cup game is on.

Does anyone know the Northern draw yet
