Six-time winners Christchurch United kick off this weekend’s Chatham Cup first-round ties with a floodlight match against Parklands United on Friday.
While Southern League leaders Christchurch United are favourites to win the tie, Parklands United have started their season well, and sit second in the Canterbury Premier League, having conceded only two goals in their six matches.
Christchurch United won the cup in 1972, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1989 and 1991, and have appeared in nine finals.
