Finn McKenlay (on the pine) now with AFC II in the OFC League I see.

Pretty sure he wasn't an initial naming, so some movement between their ALM & OFC League squads.

Can we not come back to Melbourne next year? Far out this league is short on luck with weather conditions

Threat of lightning?  The players and coaches look a bit puzzled walking off.
Apparently very hot & humid in Melbs.

0-0 late first half.

0-0 at HT. 

Isa Prins with 3 great chances to score early on, including having his penalty attempt saved (he won the pen) and then blasting the GK's save rebound over the bar.

Tahiti with a shot banging off the upright.

Poor playing out from the back by Tahiti and Matt Ellis puts the Knights infront

1-0 it finishes to Auckland. A scrappy game but they get the job done they'll be happy with that

VERY open start here! South Melbourne nearly scored on a breakaway early on, SI got a penalty on VAR and then Feutz had it saved, South Melbourne now with a free kick edge of the box, promises to be much like the first

4-1 now. A really disappointing performance and result from South Island United.

Anyone else notice Tsetso as part of the South Melbourne Technical set up? Good to see more familiar faces in the Pro League

And the surprises keep coming in Melbourne... Hekari, who lost to Bula and the Kings, beating Vanuatu United 3-1, who beat Bula and the Kings!

Solomon Kings 2-0 Bula - Kings solidifying third but Bula remain under real pressure. 

Big game coming up between Bula and South Island - I think these are the two teams under the most pressure rn

First game of the day Tahiti Utd vs PNG Hekari has just kicked off 45 minutes late - but I haven't seen any reasons given on the broadcast or on OPL socials as to why?

Edit: Just a Fifa+ app issue, game started on time

Kicked off on time. You might have got the wrong time

Yeah just realised before it was an issue with my Fifa+, it starts at the start of the broadcast rather than going to Live - despite clicking 'Watch Live'

Decent game between Tahiti and Hekari, both definitely had good spells and swathes of momentum, too many chances missed for Tahiti but at least they hold on to the lead this time.

Makes for a VERY close table... a pivotal game tonight between South Island and Bula. SI United will end the round in either 4th or 7th!

A poor but very competitive game between South Island and Bula - both created chances aplenty to score but it's clear they lack confidence at the moment. A bit for both to work on before we're in Honiara in 11 days time.

0-0 draw.

Cantab and ex Weenixer, Matt Foord got a game in goal for Bula FC. Club debut?
Bula with another Cantab in Adam Supyk also starting.

Circuit finishes with Sth Melbourne playing Solomon Kings tomorrow.

SM finish the Melbs circuit/hub with a crushing 5-0 win over Solomon Kings.

Next stop, Honiara.
Conditions should favour the Island teams, remembering how a number of the AFC II players basically melted in Port Moresby.

But for now Auckland & Sth Melb with a gap on the rest of the comp.
They are also two of the 4 teams with a game in hand.

2nd game for Foord. Made his debut in the 1-1 draw with South Melbourne over in PNG.

Bula and SIU probably the most underwhelming sides in the league so far. Didn't expect the world from them, but respectfully I did expect a lot better showing from the pair of them.
