OFC Men's Olympic Qualifier 2012
CHANGES TO DAY THREE MATCHES
Extreme weather conditions in Taupo have resulted in changes to today�s matches at the OFC Men�s Olympic Qualifier, Tuesday 20 March.
The matches will now be scheduled as followed:
American Samoa vs. Solomon Islands:
POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 21 MARCH, TIME & VENUE TBC
Tonga vs. New Zealand:
2:00pm TODAY, VENUE TBC
Fiji vs. Vanuatu:
4:00pm TODAY, VENUE TBC
A venue announcement for today�s first match between Tonga and New Zealand will be made at 12:00pm with the options of Owen Delany Park or nearby Crown Park, off Crown Road, depending on wind conditions.
The venue for today's second match will be announced by 2:00pm at the latest while the time and venue for tomorrow's postponed match will be confirmed in due course. The decision to postpone American Samoa vs. Solomon Islands was made since the result has no bearing on the overall competition.
The kick-off times for the Tonga vs. New Zealand and Fiji vs. Vanuatu have been adjusted to ensure there is enough daylight hours. Power cuts have been reported across Taupo meaning stadium lighting is not guaranteed.
