Solomon Kings FC and South Island United are aiming to secure third place as Round 4 of the OFC Pro League continues in Honiara.
Solomon Kings are currently sitting in third position on the table with 14 points despite their recent loss to Auckland FC over the weekend.
The local side will now look to bounce back in their final Round 4 match when they face South Melbourne FC on Thursday, March 19, at 7pm at the National Stadium in Honiara.
Solomon Kings head coach Ben Cahn said the team is determined to secure a win in their final match of the round.
He said the players have learned valuable lessons from their defeat to Auckland FC and are focusing on improving ahead of the upcoming match.
He said the team will work on a few areas that need improvement as they prepare for their final match of the fourth round against South Melbourne.

Cahn thanked his players for their efforts despite the loss and also acknowledged the strong support from fans during the match.
“Thanks very much to everyone for rallying behind Solomon Kings and to the Kings Army for the wonderful support through their voices, raised hands and banners during the game,” he added.
He encouraged supporters to continue backing the team as they head into their final Round 4 match and the remaining Round 5 matches in Fiji.
Meanwhile, South Island United are also pushing to secure a higher position on the table as they prepare for their final Round 4 match.

He also called on supporters both at home and in Honiara to continue backing the team.
Sherman said the upcoming match against Bula FC will be important for the team as they aim to secure valuable points in the competition.
