The Kaiviti Silktails have put any religious concerns behind them as they prepare to play Windsor Wolves in Round Four of the Ron Massey Cup, with the game being brought forward to Good Friday.
Originally the match was set down for Easter Saturday afternoon at the Windsor Sports Complex but with that ground still heavily water-logged from the recent wet weather, the game has now shifted tomorrow to Hammondville Oval in Moorebank.
Several players in the Silktails 28-man squad have a strong Christian faith, so playing football on one of the holiest days in the calendar might have been an issue but coach Wes Naiqama maintains his players are comfortable with it.

Local rugby league players have a chance to change the course of selecting the Fiji Bati team to this year’s Rugby League World Cup in England.

The 16-team RLWC will be in England from October 23 to November 27.
“We have another eight months to prepare our team,” FNRL acting chief executive officer Don Natabe said.
