Musa Mohamed damages knee ligaments — 126 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 126 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The small margins put Posta Rangers out
Out, 1‑2 to Bandari, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Brian Marita signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brian Marita and Posta Rangers agree another 2 years.

The crowd has taken to Kelly Madada
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
