Soccer semi final canceled over muddy Deakin Oval
Officials and club supporters attacked Interior Department reps after the Croatia Deakin versus Olympic semi final was called off. A morning ground inspection found six inches of slime mud from recent junior rugby fixtures leaving the surface unplayable. Federation officials blamed the Parks and Gardens branch for lack of alternative venues. They estimated the cancellation cost the federation at least 400, and noted the match could have drawn about 1,000 spectators. The match may be moved to Ainslie Oval next Sunday.
