Wellington have clinched the final play-off spot in the New Zealand Football Championship following a 4-1 victory over Waikato in Wellington.

Waitakere finished top and today they drew 2-all with third placed Manawatu, Auckland finished second after a 5-nil win over Canterbury.

Hawkes Bay beat Otago 2-nil and were in the play-off picture for a while until the other results came through.

So in the semi-finals Waitakere play Wellington and Auckland play Manawatu.
