Fifth time in the last five years at Cashmere Technical have made the final 16. Not the same drama as the recent MPL but in the end Tech took their chances and Coastal only has limited chances to score.
Interesting couple of selections in the starting 11 for Coastal with Zac playing in the in the midfield, great to see coaches thinking outside the box, and the recent signing from FC - Evandro.
Would have been interesting if Coastal had taken out the tie as I do not think Evandro meets the rules for the Chatham Cup re the numbers of days since transferring, but I may be wrong.
Found the Chatham Cup 2016 Regulations looks like I was correct here is the appropriate section:
7.4 Club player eligibility
7.4.1 In all matches of this competition, each player, except where he has played for his club during the previous season and has not played in any match for any other club in New Zealand during the current season, must have been registered with his club for ten business days prior to the playing of any match in the competition.
Two teams that had won in the earlier rounds in the Chatty Cup this season and one in the Women's KO Cup have had their the results reversed to a 3 - 0 won to their opposition due to playing an ineligible player.
