Welcome to Western<br />
It is with great excitement and anticipation that Western take on Caversham – a<br />
club that has proven consistently to be one of the best in the country.<br />
Realistically, for most clubs this is the beauty of New Zealand’s premier<br />
knock-out football cup competition – the chance to be pitted against teams from<br />
outside their own region and to gauge their own abilities against quality<br />
opposition.<br />
It has been several years since the two clubs met in any competition, an<br />
exciting game that saw Caversham run out 3-2 winners in the <strong>South</strong> Island<br />
<strong>Football</strong> Championship semi-final in 2009.<br />
For Western, several players remain and look forward to a rematch.<br />
Notably, a number of the red and black contingent were inexperienced youngsters<br />
in 2009, several have now won National Youth League titles and represented<br />
Canterbury United at National League level.<br />
Whilst Mainland Premier League form has been topsy-turvy to say the<br />
least, an exciting penalty shoot-out victory over reigning MPL champions (and<br />
bitter foes) Woolston-Technical in the last round has every Western player<br />
relishing the chance to come face to face with boys from Cavy – some of whom<br />
are known well to the lads (especially Blair Duncan who returns to his former<br />
club probably a lot sooner than expected).<br />
Best of luck to both sides and here’s to an exciting contest.<br />
Keen Eye, snot Western, its the pride of Culling park, El Technicos<br />
