A knee injury of the worst kind for Peni Krishna
37 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Labasa lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Full time on the season at Labasa
Position 8 on 20 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Hayyaan Khan, 20, steals the show — 7.74
Marked 7.74 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Sailimone Ravonokula puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Labasa, and it is not being withdrawn.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Jolame Domonikibau is a medical away from Labasa
The deal with Rewa is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Words exchanged at Labasa
Akeimi Ralulu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Luke Savu did the work nobody counts — 7.30
12 combined actions and 7.30. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.
The terraces12 Jul 2027
One of their own: Hayyaan Khan
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match10 Jul 2027
At last: Labasa win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Ba. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
In brief
- Match Hayyaan Khan sends Labasa past Ba
- Squad Labasa lose Epeli Goundar
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Rusiate Doidoi
