Adverse weather conditions forces change to PS4 NPL semi

Following consultation with stakeholders, Football Federation Australia (FFA) today made the decision to reschedule today’s PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues 2017 Semi Final match between Edgeworth Eagles FC and Brisbane Strikers.

Adverse weather conditions prevented the Strikers from departing Queensland as planned yesterday (Friday). 

Match 6 of the competition will now be played tomorrow, Sunday 24 September 2017 at Jack McLaughlan Oval, Edgeworth, with a kick off time of 1:30pm.

The other Semi Final fixture (Match 5) between Heidelberg United FC and APIA Leichhardt Tigers at Olympic Village in Victoria remains unchanged, and will commence at 1pm today.

Tickets for both Semi Finals will be available at the venues on match day, while every match in the PS4 NPL 2017 Finals Series will be streamed LIVE via www.nationalpremierleagues.com.au, as well as on PS4 consoles and the official Hyundai A-League Facebook page (www.facebook.com/aleague).
