Good soccer draw for Cashmere or United
By
DAVID LEGGAT
Cashmere-Wanderers and Christchurch Mogal United have the ready-made incentive of a home tie in the fourth round of the Adidas Chatham Cup when they meet in their postponed third round match tomorrow evening. In the draw, announced by the New Zealand Football Association’s secretary, Mr Gwyn Evans, yesterday, the winner will be at home to the bottom-placed Rothmans League team, Dunedin Technical. Fourth-round matches are scheduled for the week-end of July 2-3. Christchurch’s other Cup representative, Western or Woolsten W.M.C., depending on which team wins their S’ ' >d third-round tie on y, will travel south for a much more demanding match against Dunedin City.
It is possible that the eight quarter-finalists will all be national league clubs. That has not happened in the Cup in the 13 years the league has been in existence.
Five of the national league clubs have been kindly treated with home advantage against regional league sides. The full draw is: Cashmere or United v. Dupedin Technical, Dunedin City v. Western or Woolston, Napier City Rovers v. Rose City, McKee Nelson United v. National Mutual Miramar, Gisborne City v. Wellington City, Mount Manganui v. Hanimex-North Shore, Manurewa v. Takapuna City, Mount Wellington v. Ellerslie.
The final, meanwhile, has been brought forward a week to the week-end of
September 17-18, because of a clash with the start of New Zealand’s Olympic Games qualifying campaign.
The venue for the Cup final has not yet been decided, the Press Association reports.
New Zealand is scheduled to play Japan at Mount Smart in Auckland on September 25, and will probably meet Taiwan there a week later, in its bid to be one of the three AsiaOceania countries at Los Angeles. Japan and Taiwan meet Indonesia and Papua New Guinea respectively in a preliminary round, but New Zealand Football Association officials are confident that the two former teams will advance to meet New Zealand in a home-and-away contest.
