South Island United will have a big chance to secure a third spot if kings lose their first match against Auckland FC in the national stadium at 7pm this evening.
Solomon Kings will meet two tough opponents in their round 4 matches in OFC Pro League here in Honiara.
The second game of Solomon Kings will be tougher game against South Melbourne FC on Thursday March 19th.
In an interview with Island Sun yesterday Solomon Kings head coach, Mr Ben Cahn said they will show what they have against Auckland FC at 7 pm.
He added that the game against Auckland will not be easy.
Ben Cahn head coach of Solomon Kings FC appeals to all Solomon Islands supporters to continue rally support behind Solomon Kings towards two matches in the home ground.
According to OFC Pro League standings Solomon Kings secured third spot, leading the South Island United with 4 points up.
Speaking to the paper as well yesterday was South Island United head coach Mr Rob Sherman who said that they have drawn a lot of games and in truth the game that they lost heavily was against South Melbourne.
Sherman said it is not a bad thing because they learn from it and sometimes just drawing or winning games, if you’re not careful you don’t learn.
“So hopefully we’ve learned some lessons from that and we’ll see whether we can execute those solutions against PNG and against the Buller FC,” he said.
South Island United will meet PNG Hekari FC today in Honiara at the national stadium at 3pm.
Meanwhile, their second match will be against Bula FC on Thursday March 19th.
He said it is going to be a tough game today against PNG Hekari but they just need a win to accumulate their points up.
“Well for our second match we will do our best when meet up with Bula FC and we just need a win.
“I think we played friendly here about three times and I came here with OFC when I was consulting,” he said.
He said in fairness, not every pitch in New Zealand is pristine so the boys are used to variations.
“It’s a great facility in fairness and so there’s no excuses, so ultimately, we’ll cut it up for everyone else, it’s an excellent facility and there’s no complaints,” he said.
