Sport: Only Samoa and Guam left in Pac Games race

From , 3:03 pm on 28 August 2017

Samoa and Guam are in a two-horse race to host the 2019 Pacific Games after a lack of government support ruled Tahiti out of contention.

The Pacific Games Council has visited Samoa and Guam in the past fortnight, to evaluate their bids, and the Council's Executive Board intends to decide on the new host by the end of the week.
