Tonight's two title-deciding matches will be held at different venues and kick off at the same time, the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) decided last night.

At an emergency meeting of the HKFA last night, attended by the four clubs involved, it was resolved that tonight's Coolpoint First Division league double-header would be split up.

Originally, both matches were to be played at Mongkok Stadium, at 6pm and 8pm.

The match between Sun Hei and Fukien will move to Siu Sai Wan Stadium in Chai Wan, while Happy Valley and Kitchee will meet at the Mongkok Stadium as scheduled.

Both matches start at 8pm.

'The request was made by Sun Hei and agreed by the three other clubs,' said Martin Lam, secretary-general of the HKFA. 'We will therefore sort out the required logistics as quickly as possible so that we can have the two matches at two different stadiums.'
