Burndale set for clash
The national league soccer side, Waitakere City, may have beaten Christchurch United and Mount Wellington this season but its Chatham Cup quarter-final opponent, Burndale United, does not fear the Auckland team.. Waitakere City, a newcoiher to the national league this year, bundled Mount Wellington out of the Cup last Sunday with a 2-1 victory. Earlier this season it downed Christchurch United by the same score in a fourthround league match. Waitakere, which is coached by the new All Whites assistant coach, Keith Pritchett, is currently in sixth place in the national ■ league with . a record of six wins, two draws and four losses after 12 games.

Burndale made the quarter-finals last year, bowing out, 0-2, to the eventual winner, Waikato United. “We could cause a bit of an upset,” said Archer. “It is not beyond us to

United beat Waterside, 4-2, in the first round of the league.
