Wairarapa United's horror run with the Chatham Cup draw continued this week.
They have reached the fourth round on the weekend of June 29-30 and yesterday were drawn to meet Palmerston North Marist in Palmerston North.
To say they are getting used to away draws for cup matches would be a gross understatement. Of their last 14 games in the cup, 12 have been away from home. Little wonder coach Phil Keinzley was more interested in who they were playing, rather than where, when the latest draw was made.
"Honestly, I just took it for granted we wouldn't get a home game ... I'm pretty sure now it's all done alphabetically," he joked yesterday. "Starting with a W doesn't give us much chance, does it?"
