Big game today for the U16s. Kicks off in one hour.
They lose against hosts Solomons and they are won't make the semis, and no U17 WC next year. Would put Martin Bullock's position as U17s coach under heavy scrutiny with the now annual U17 WC in Qatar later this year.
Good news is I think the game is at the flast new stdium in Honiara which hopefiully has a good surafec.
Not the old bumpy Lawson Tama stadium with that grass banked amphitheatre that so many Kiwi teams hated visiting.
