The difference was eight hours when the situation was reversed, now you are 10 hours ahead of us in The Netherlands(GMT+1) and eleven hours ahead of Britain (GMT, no DST at the moment) if I'm not mistaken. So it is GMT+1+10 what you should calculate for the match. I saw Australia has several different timezones and the rules for DST differ too among the states, and were even changed for the the Olympics there were you live, in New South Wales? Some fascinating stuff to read I thought on below links but maybe that's just me. Regards, Eelco http://www.dstc.qut.edu.au/DST/marg/daylight.html http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
