All 4 are up for grabs

Coastal need a win tonight. 

Western need some points for sure. Given how they have chosen to not run a junior club and lost their WPL  they have to keep their Prems Men's team.

As a former junior player of Western (many many years ago now) it's sad the state of the club. Used to be big and reasonably successful. Family members used to collate the old team cards that were dropped off to home after games on Saturday. 

Was always a big game in my youth/senior era. Times have changed.

Yup - I remember the hardest games we had were always against Western teams back in the day (very long days ago now)  Wasn't long ago though we were talking about the end of ChCh United as a club as well when they got banged down to Div1 (now QL) a few years back - but they seem to be working their way through to ensure club stays alive.  Western will get there I'm sure of it.
