Eastern Suburbs thump Ellerslie 6-0, so with Cashmere also through to the CC final we just have to wait to see if NZF give them the home double-header they deserve.

A New Zealand Football spokesperson told The Star Christchurch was in the running to host the finals.
“One NZ Stadium is among several venue options being looked at. Should there be no Christchurch representation in either of the cup finals, it’s unlikely the Kate Sheppard and Chatham Cup final would be held in Christchurch.
“NZF aims to have a decision made by August 17.”
Sounds like we will know the host today!

It has a stand that can hold more than 550 seated, plus hills at both ends of the ground and of course standing room around all sides of the pitch.

I predict ES will be too strong in this one. I just hope it stays close for the home crowd, ES can be wasteful in front of goal. Of the CT side, Lara Wall is the only one who I see could get a start in the ES side and even then she would have to play RB.
+1

Totally agree about the stadium, it’s ideal for football - I’m a few rows back in the upper tier (with an entire row of kids in Cashmere shirts in front of me) and the view is great.
Really hoping for a Cashmere win for the home crowd, not to mention seeing the Cup come south of the Bombay Hills.
Edit: Jinxed it
