SIVBF President Mr Morris Maitaiki said he expects all pool matches to be completed by Tuesday.
“We expect all our pool matches to be covered by Tuesday due to the postponement.
“Once all pool games are completed then we’ll move into the Multipurpose Hall on Wednesday Thursday and Friday for our finals,” Maitaki said.
