This will be our 15th Chatham Cup meeting with Petone in our 54th Cup season.  Olympic has not played any other Club more than seven times (Napier, Miramar, Wanganui and Tawa).


- As CYFC, the Club won 2-0 in 1971 (goals from Jeff Allen and Andrew Yiavasis) but lost 1-2 in 1978 (which side included Nick Halikias, Harry Kotsapas and George Bertos Snr)

​​​​​​​

- As Wellington Olympic, the Club has won 12  straight (41 goals to only 13 against) with the biggest margin being 5-0 in 2005 including a Graham Little hattrick.  The closest margin was a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win in 1984 to break a 4-4 draw

​​​​​​​

- No individual player has been able to score more than a total of three goals over the 14 Cup challenges against Petone.  The only ones to do so were:

     - Graham Little (scored a hattrick) in his one          and only match against Petone in a Cup;

     - Spiros Androutsos

     - Jimmy Haidakis

added to that, there have been three own goals scored.

​​​​​​​
