Broonie, not that you are, but yourself and tech should never have to apologise for your success. Other clubs should be trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between themselves and you, even if they don't have the same resources rather than dropping their bottom lip every time they get beat by you.
I can't imagine Xavier and coastal were complaining when the beat the two division 1 sides in close battles in earlier rounds.
If all clubs in Canterbury were half as aspirational as Cashmere Technical then we would have a much, much more competitive region. Too many people happy to stand and point fingers rather than attacking the issues head on like tech do.
I myself will be cheering tech on to get a 3rd consecutive Chatham Cup!
