🔥 GAME DAY THIS SUNDAY! 🔥
⚽️ Thirsty Whale Napier City Rovers vs Cashmere Technical FC 
🏆 Dettol NZ National League Championship
📅 Sunday 11 October 
⏰ 1:00PM 
📍 Bluewater Stadium
It’s a HUGE one in the Championship! 💙
We welcome Cashmere Technical, who sit top of the table after two games, with an impressive 14 goals scored and 0 conceded.
But there’s history between these two sides. Cashmere knocked us out of the Chatham Cup semi-final, so you can bet the Rovers will have plenty to play for. 🔥
Now it’s time to settle the score.
Bring the noise. Bring your mates. Get down to Bluewater Stadium and back the boys!
