Mainland Premier League

Big comeback from Western now 4 - 1 up.

Full Time Coastal 1 Western 4

Interesting result in Div 1, Turtles inflict first defeat of the season on Chch Utd 1-0, Waimak win over Mid Canterbury takes them top

With the top four sides all winning the gap between top half and the bottom half as increased:

Technical 21, Western 18, Bays 12, Suburbs 12, Halswell 7, Coastal 7, Nomads 5, University 5.

Will the gap increase in the next round (17 May as Chatham Cup next weekend) as the top four again play pteams in the bottom half of the table.

Cashmere Technical vs. Nomads

Ferrymead Bays vs. University

Western vs. Halswell

Nelson Suburbs vs. Coastal Spirit

Really, hard to believe that result after playing both those teams in the last few weeks, Parklands beat FC2011 1-0 today in a scrappy game on an awful field at Avonhead Park

Yeah our pdl vs chch utd didn't have a ref. Rough on a golf course is being polite, cows wouldn't look out of place on it!

Coastal v Western Men's Reserves had officials. 

Going to be a long hard season in the WPL for promoted Parklands. 

Some of the ref appointments didn't go online til late.... Unusually not many refs scheduled for women's div 2 Sunday morning, but this year that seems to have become the norm.... So does this mean less refs now? I know Brad used to do a Sunday morning, plus another 2 who aren't any more

Tech V Uni tonight 7:30pm? confim

Tonight's English Cup result: Cashmere Technical 2 University 1.

Thought that was a decent game. 

Uni had a couple of great chances in the first half, and were all over Tech between their goal (50th) and the equaliser (65ish). 

Interesting to see Clapham playing,

Bit of shameless self-promotion - grab a copy of tomorrow's Star for a full preview of this weekend's Chatham Cup action by yours truly.

Wow, Tech get scored against for the first time!

Tech were at full strength apart from Kelly I believe. As a neutral I thought it was a great game of footy. Scratching my head as to how Uni are where they are on the ladder. Tech keeper kept his side in the game with a couple of good saves in first half. Anyone know what the reason was the Uni coach was sent from dugout? If it was language I heard plenty of that from the Tech bench from the stands

Peter Taco Biema, Dan Terris, Dan Schwarz, Tom Schwarz, Aaron Clapham, Shaun O'Brien, Ash Wellbourne.. Just the 7 canterbury players who Started the game (one all white as well of course) along with Danny Boys, Nick Wortelboer and Cory Mitchell off the bench. Didn't see the game myself but heard Unis were on top

How come the Tech Bays game is on Sunday.  Hope to see some twitter updates throughout the day tomorrow. @asbchathamcup #chchmpl

Tech played uni in English cup midweek ?

That happens every week tho...

Nomads beat Selwyn 4-2 @ Brookside in Chatham cup tie.

Coastal Women's won on pens (4-1)  over University

1-1 FT, Uni equalized in 92min.

Chat Cup was 1-1 v Western late on, heard a huge roar so fingers crossed we got a  winner

Bays wanted to play the game on Sunday.

Played Sunday

FC Nelson vs. Richmond and Ferrymead Bays vs. Cashmere Technical

The Women's KO Cup was a great game with University dominating the 2nd half, scoring in the 89th and then alot of extra time with both keepers pulling out some great saves with maybe experience getting Coastal over the line. They play each other in the league next Saturday.

DRAMARAMA in women's premier league today. Western v cashmere. Gist of it is: Full on cat fight. Western walk off the pitch. Ref abandons game awarding it to tech who were up at the time. Any eye witness reports?

Do not think it was a full on Cat Fight, only two involved, with a red given to one of the player. At this stage unsure if game was awarded or not, yet to come out in the wash. (I was not there)

On a postive note in the other Women's PL game was Parklands 0 FC Twenty11 0, so concratulations to Parklands for picking up their first league pioint.

could the champs be crashing out the cup?

Ronaldoknownononono has been known to drop it in 

maybe it's an Eastside thang
