U15 Nike cup: 6 chch and 3 nlsn teams entered in mainland leg. Local prelim rounds will cut it to 4 and 2. Expect chch teams to make it to next stage will be cashmere fc20 Halswell with waimak nomads coastal battling it out for the 4th spot. Nelson pretty strong at this age group at rep level, not sure if one of the clubs has the upper hand. My pick is cashmere because the team is chock full of lads who have played together for a while ( canty school of football, FTC, reps etc), plus a coach who has been with them all that time ( terry hall) plus Fred Simpson's experience with the age group in this comp last year. Players to watch: Halswell GK, 2-3 Nelson lads of Cambodian background, cashmere left winger, coastal midfielder, FC striker. Chch prelim round sat 2 feb.
