Squad

A falling-out at Nadi

Vishant Reddy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Jimson Abana knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nadi, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Clivert Sam has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Nadi will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Christopher Kumar in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nadi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Nadi rebuffed over Abishek Sauturaga

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Suva have kept their man, and Nadi go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Maleli Matai steps up from the Nadi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Maleli Matai has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Tito Goundar is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Nadi promote Anare Lal from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Anare Lal has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Malakai Goundar steps up from the Nadi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Malakai Goundar has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
