Two of the ASB Chatham Cup's most decorated clubs will clash in the fourth round with Waitakere City drawn to play Central United on the weekend of July 2 and 3.

The meeting of three time winners Waitakere and four-time winners Central headlines the draw for the last 16 with the winners of the final regional round entering a national draw for the quarterfinals.

Napier City Rovers, themselves four time winners, host 2005 finalists Palmerston North Marist while Wairarapa United will seek their first appearance in the quarterfinals by a Wellington United outfit keen to add a third Central League scalp to this season's cup run.

Waitemata, the lowest ranked side in the last 16, face their toughest test yet drawn to meet Northern Premier League leaders Bay Olympic at Olympic Park.

Northern first division sides Manurewa and Birkenhead United have been drawn together as have 2009 finalist Three Kings United and fellow Northern Premier League side Onehunga Sports.

At least one of the three Dunedin teams left in the 84th running of the competition will not make it through to the quarterfinals with Roslyn Wakari hosting Dunedin Technical in a cup derby. Fellow Dunedinites Caversham will host Christchurch's Coastal Spirit.
