The 2017 final

edit

The 2017 final was played between two Auckland teams Glenfield Rovers and Eastern Suburbs at QBE Stadium before the men's Chatham Cup final. This was Glenfield Rovers seventh final appearance, having won three and lost three previously including the 2016 final, while Eastern Suburbs have only been in the final once before in 2005 where they lost to Lynn-Avon United. Glenfield went on to win the game 5–4 which was slightly generous to Suburbs in a game where Glenfield created more chances. Kate Loye from Rovers was the winner of the Maia Jackman trophy for the most valuable player.[1]
