Last week, a scuffle left an 18-year-old male with a fractured collarbonewhich had cast doubt on the match. Pupils and staff would enter from gates behind the western embankment and be required to stay on the embankment (western) side of the ground. Senior Sergeant Jason McCoy, of Oamaru, said there would be a strong police presence, and a private security company to help quell any trouble. "Obviously, the police presence will be there and will deal with any breaches of the peace or breaking of the law."
