When? 13 December, 2020, 3 pm kick off

Where? Madills Farm, Auckland

They say:

Kane Wintersgill, Eastern Suburbs assistant coach
“I think we learn a lot from the first half [last weekend’s game against Waitakere United]. I think it was good to be able to perform second half and get a result out of the game and take a good learning away from that without losing. But there's definitely some things that we know we can do better, not just for when we play Waitakere next time, but also going into our game this week against a very strong Team Wellington side.

“I think again it's early on, we’re just kind of taking things a game at a time and want to try and perform as well as we can in each game before the Christmas break. I think that the spirits are high and the boys have worked hard, so hopefully we can put together another good performance at the weekend."
