Chatham Cup champions Wairarapa United will begin their defence away to New Plymouth Rangers on Queen's Birthday Monday following today's second round draw for the 89 year old knockout competition.
The Masterton based Central League club, who had only one home game in the six victories that took them tolast year's final in Palmerston North will again begin on the road with a trip to the Taranaki Premiership club.
With all remaining seeded teams entering the draw, there are some mouth-watering clashes between regional powers around the country.

However, a couple of Waikato upstarts have avoided the big names with Waikato Unicol drawing Auckland-Northern conference side Oratia United at home, and fellow Waikato-BOP federation league club Otumoetai away to Waitemata.
Auckland Sunday Leaguers Bohemian Celtic will host Northern Premier League side Onehunga Sports while Invercargill's Old Boys heroics in beating Green Island on Saturday have earned themselves a trip to the Caledonian Ground to take on Southern Premier League leaders Dunedin Technical.
Westlake Boys High School has home advantage against two times winners Manurewa, while Stop Out have the chance to add the scalp of another cup winner to their collection, drawing 2009 winners Olympic after ousting three time winners Western Suburbs on Saturday.
