Surprise, surprise. The last two Dunedin-based teams left in the Chatham Cup are Caversham and Dunedin Technical.
The teams meet today at the Caledonian Ground in a round of 16 clash.
They have dominated the club scene for more than a decade with Caversham coming out on top more often than not.
But in the Chatham Cup anything can happen and often does.
Caversham suffered a huge form reversal last year, losing to University 1-0 in the first round, after it had beaten it 7-0 just two days earlier in a Football South Premier League match.
Dunedin Technical was knocked out in the quarterfinals by Mangere United last season but has a good record in the tournament.
It won the Cup in 1999 and made the final in 2008, losing 1-0 to East Coast Bays.
Caversham skipped the tournament in 2014 due to financial constraints but made three consecutive appearances in the semifinals between 2010 and 2012 and reached the quarterfinals in 2013.
On form, Caversham will start favourite.
It is unbeaten in the local league this season with 11 consecutive wins, including a 2-1 win against Dunedin Technical in round seven.
It has put 37 goals past its opponents while conceding just three.
While his side was in dynamic form, Caversham captain Rhys Henderson said everyone was well aware of what happened last year and will not be complacent.
And Dunedin Technical possesses way too much talent to take lightly.
"Everyone is up for it and we just want to get through [to the quarterfinals],'' he said.
The centre back said Chatham Cup fixtures brought an extra edge to game day and he expected a tough match.
A lot of Caversham's play will pivot around powerful midfielder Andrew Ridden.
"He is pretty key for us and gives us lots of drive in the midfield. When he is on, he is pretty much unstoppable.''
Talented striker Lewis Jackson will shoulder the responsibility of putting the ball in the net, while experienced defender Craig Ferguson is another instrumental member of the team.
Ferguson and Henderson will be kept busy trying to stop Alistair Rickerby adding to his haul of goals this season.
He is the leading scorer in the premier league and a potent force for Dunedin Technical.
If Rickerby manages to get off a few shots, he still has to get the ball past quality keeper Liam Little.
"It is always a challenge playing Cavvy but we always enjoy the battle,'' Dunedin Technical captain Tim McLennan said.
"On any given day anyone can cause an upset and that is why it is so good to watch.''
Aside from Rickerby, Dunedin Technical will look to Josh Stewart and Ben Allan, who have been going well in the midfield.
Defender John Curwen has been playing well at the back. He is strong in the air and a solid tackler, while keeper Tom Batty has a safe pair of gloves.
Finding a way around Caversham's defenders and keeper will be the big challenge.
"When you look at Caversham's stats you can see they are a pretty difficult team to penetrate but we found the net last time against them and we are quite capable of finding it again.
"It only takes one goal to win.''
Queenstown Rovers will host Gore Wanderers at the Queenstown Events Centre today in the other Chatham Cup fixture in the region.
