Soccer tour cancelled
AUCKLAND The Auckland representative soccer team visit to New Caledonia has been! called off at the eleventh hour. The two-game visit which, was to have begun tomor- ( row has been cancelled because of what the chairman of the Auckland Football Association (Mr Chari;e Dempsey) terms “the tight; schedule of the association. ! “The New Zealand associ-l ation declined to allow us to switch the Mount Wellington v Hamilton Lion Chatham Cup game to Sundav' July 13 — a day later than scheduled — and because of this we were unable to fit in with the arr—made in New’ Caledonia.” Mr Dempsey said. “The most regrettable aspect about the cancellation is that the tour was ar-i ranged as a reward for the' players who had done so w’ell for us in the matches, against Middlesbrough. Glasgow Rangers and Manches-I ter United. "We hope to make it upj to the plavers at a later ; date.”
