Got down with the kids to watch Miramar v Phoenix Reserves this afternoon.
Pretty enjoyable game in the sun, even if the scoreline ended up a bit one-sided. Finished 4-0 to the Phoenix, but it wasn't that sort of game for a long time.
It was 0-0 at halftime and I thought Miramar did well. They didn't just sit back and defend, they actually tried to play and had a few decent spells. Considering the quality the Phoenix had out there, I thought they gave a very good account of themselves.
The difference in the second half was probably fitness and quality. Once the Phoenix got the first goal they looked pretty comfortable. A couple of nicely taken goals and some tired Miramar legs saw it end 4-0.
Phoenix had some sharp players. Bangalan and Eglinton were both very good, Candy looked classy on the ball, and Brazendale's pace caused problems. I also noticed Bev Priestman behind the goal when we went to grab some halftime drinks, guessing she was having a look at the next crop and there's no shortage to choose from. Women's side of things at the Phoebix look to be in a very good spot.
As for Miramar, they looked a lot better than the side I saw get steamrolled a couple of times last year. They competed well and never really stopped working. Number 18, Green, was probably the standout for me and looked dangerous whenever she got on the ball. At Ht I spoke with one of the Miramar player's parents and they said they've got new coaches this season and they are encouraging the team to play a bit more freely and enjoy it. Early days, but they seem to be heading in the right direction, which is good for the league.
Overall, a nice way to spend an afternoon. Good crowd there, plenty of support from both teams, and I spotted a Yellow Fever banner in the stands too - good work!

Not the game I saw, I thought the result could have been much much higher. The Phoenix looked a little 'going through the motions' at times and were quite wasteful with their many opportunities. The GK also made a number of important saves. In contrast the Phoneix Keeper wasn't tested.
But I do agree with you in that the Miramar team are a much better than last year.

I can't find the post anymore but I assume it stops being regional from here and goes national? Also shoutout to Cashmere who got here with a 10-0 win over Nelson, crazy scoreline.

I believe this round is the last one that is still regional. So Karori will play Nix Reserves and Cash Tech will play Royals.
Draw to determine home/away and Northern match-ups

It is a pity the draw is not national at this stage. Is it a gender inequality thing or a reflection of fact that Chatham Cup generates twice as much entry fees as KS so has double the funds in the travel pot.

And 4-0 to the Nix at the final whistle - Lily Brazendale got the second, super-sub Ruby Barber the third and fourth.
Semifinals are weekend of August 15-16, so I guess the draw is this Wednesday? I see Ellerslie are through as well as Cashmere, but we’ll have to wait for the postponed AU-Eastern Suburbs game to be certain of the final four.

Does anyone know why Napier City Rovers didn't enter a team in the cup this season? They're dominating Fed league and look like they would do solid in WCL.
I'm guessing that a large part of it would be down to how much Fed League travel would cost but seems strange.

Cupset! Eastern Suburbs knock Auckland United out, 1-0 thanks to a 4th-minute Charley March OG, and will face Ellerslie in the semi.

They'd have to play the men's game at 12pm, which would be tough to do on a Saturday. Need to get Napier down either Friday night or early Saturday morning for that to happen.
Unless they can work something with the Phoenix Reserves for the KSC game to kick off later, maybe 2.30pm or 3pm, or see if they can take the early slot and get Napier down for the afternoon. Unfortunately the most likely outcome is the women playing Saturday and the men on Sunday.

Not a shock. A shame for the club who I know would have loved a double-header if they could make it work, but not to be.

What a finish! Cashmere score in the 89th and 92nd to reverse last year’s semifinal scoreline.
I just hope now that the Cashmere men win their CC semi tomorrow and NZF arrange a double-header final at Te Kaha, and of course that the Cashmere women go on to beat whichever Auckland team they end up facing.

No it was definitely Lily Brazendale.
Pretty gutting way to end the match conceding 2 late goals. The Reserves dominated quite well in the first half.
Cash Tech struggled to get much possession during the first 45 - But they were much better in the 2nd and had some good shots saved by Neary. Late on, after conceding the 2 goals, the Reserves just couldn't really get create any meaningful chances, and Cashmere Tech closed out the game pretty effectively
