Mainland Premier League

Coastal Spirit defeated Dunedin Technical 2 - 1 in the quarter finals of the National Women's KO Cup.

Vim's picks good this week. 

Uni drew 1-1 with Halswell. Not 3-1 loss.

Big game up next for Uni vs Nomads.

Oh yer, so they did. Still.   

Yes a big two weeks ahead for Uni with Coastal the week after.  Interesting league this year all things considered. 

Yep. Uni will be out for some revenge after 1st round results. Nomads cant score enough goals, could be their downfall. 

A shame Suburbs started so poorly. They look the most likely to challenge for the title ..but it's basically already won by Tech.

Coastal drawn away in the next round on 19/20 July to the winner of 1/4 final between Claudelands Rovers vs.Forrest Hill Milford set down to be [layed in Hamilton on 29 June. Forrest Hill Milford currently lead the Northern Preimer League and Claudelands Rovers in second place. Belinda Van Noorden and Emily Jensen play for Forrest  

not such a good draw. 

Jack Pelter transferred to Cashmere Tech in April  - haven't noticed him playing yet. 

What gives?

If he's playing at all it's likely to be in their div 1 team; that's where his mates are (and his dad is coach I think). A bit more "relaxed" than first team environment.

Parklands United beat FC2011 1-0 in the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup tonight

Any feedback from the Mainland and Club meeting held tonight?

Still going on maybe??

So - Chances of games on this weekend - or will it be mass ground changes?

will not be enough grounds to get a full round in. 

I reckon all grounds will stay shut tomorrow to conserve as many as possible for Saturday. 

1 positive is if no training then time for an ale 

Picking MPL only; at ASB

I didn't think MPL was on at all this weekend - only the Chatham cup games.  So Say, Div1, WMPL and thats it?  As Ive driven around a bit of chch last 2 days - there is a lot of surface water on them pitches.

No MPL this wknd, Chatham Cup rounds.  My guess is there will be no football at all apart from WPL and Div 1. 

well with these 6 team leagues they have some breathing space in the juniors...senior leagues should have some space too?

I'll be gutted if we don't play

I live for Saturday Morning football

Watch Australia v chile live

Football is on for all grades.

Well - for Senior Grades.  Masters 45 then 18th Grade Down all postponed. 

Chatham Cup game moved to ASB Park

 Mainland doing the dirty on the junior grades again. Almost all the Intermediate and junior grounds available to be played on just the odd few with only one game allowed.

Pay a Fee and get shafted with no refunds for lack of performance by the provider.

really poor call 

Juniors have been stiffed

Moan, groan,  whinge

maybe juniors shouldn't have all the time off in holidays too

Really if all juniors played, then you would all be moaning about the state of pitches in a week or two. What choice did Mainland have ?

And I coach a youth team that has been postponed also.

they could of at least played the Div 1 of each grade.

a number of grounds are hopeless after 5 minutes rain let alone 5 days

Todays results and scorers

ASB Chatham Cups

Cashmere Technical 2 (Andy Barton 2) Halswell 1 (Steve Neame) HT 2 - 1

Mainland Women's Premier League

Coastal Spirit 2 (Mel Cameron Lauren Dabner) Cashmere Technical 1 (Megan Shea) HT 2 - 1

FC Twenty11 1 (Orla Dawson) Parklands HT 1 - 0

Western 1 Nicole Wakefield) University 7 (Gabrielle Brodie 2,  Liz Gilchrist 2, Anika Tiplady, Milly Conner, Kathryn Mason) HT 1 - 4

I see ChCh United defeated Waimak 4 - 3 to stay on top of Div 1. 

Ended up playing our Div 3 game at ASB park after Edgar Mackintosh was pulled due to water logged pitch (Thanks ref) then to Nunweek park - which was terrible due to PDL game played on it - they all need a diet. So Kick off 4pm - Thanks to Cashmere Tech and Halswell for being our Curtain Raiser!

Western 4 - Selwyn 2  (Damnit! - but they provided Beer - so it was a win)

Last time Coastal played Richmond in the Chatham Cup was at the same stage at tomorrows game in 2011 with Coastal winning 5 - 3.

The last time only one ChCh side made the last 16 was in 2009 when Woolston Technical was knocked out by Nelson Suburbs 2 - 0, so no pressure Coastal.

Which coastal will turn up? They have been hot and cold this season.

Ouch.
