Chatham Cup Soccer

Nelson Rangers made soccer history by being the first Nelson team to contest a Chatham Cup semi-final in Nelson, and they also came close to contesting the final, in a hard-fought game against Northern at Trafalgar Park.

A good crowd attended the park to see history made, and left well-satisfied after a closely-contested battle.
