Napier City Rovers have cruised through to the final of the national club soccer championship this afternoon.
Rovers beat Dunedin Technical 3-0 in the replayed semi-final in Napier after leading 1-0 at halftime.
Chris McIvor, Martin Akers and Scott Pilcher scored the goals.
The Dunedin squad only arrived in Napier a few hours before today's game, after five hours travelling.
The team was forced to leave Dunedin at 7.30 this morning and fly via Wellington and Auckland.
The halftime break was also shortened to allow the Dunedin team time to catch flights back home.
Napier will meet University Mount Wellington in Sunday's final.
