International soccer confirmed
Details of New Zealand’s home-and-away soccer series with Australia later this year will be finalised at the New Zealand Football Association’s council meeting in Auckland this weekend; In confirming that the two internationals are definitely on, the secretary of the N.Z.F.A., Mr Gwyn Evans, said that dates should be announced early next week. The matches are likely to be played about the end of October or early November. New Zealand’s domestic competition, the Rothmans League, will end on September 28. The two-
legged Le Coq Sportif Chatham Cup final will be staged on October 4 and October 11. The last time the teams met was in the World Cup qualifying matches nine months ago. On that occasion, Australia won, 2-0, in Sydney, after the teams had played a scoreless draw at Auckland in September. In 1983, New Zealand beat Australia, 2-1, in Auckland and 2-0 at Melbourne, when the Tasman rivals played a brace of friendly internationals within five days. Mr Evans hopes regular competition in non-World Cup or Olympic qualifying years can be planned.
