Match

Labasa out of the cup

Navua ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Luke Savu asks to leave Labasa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Aporosa Yada beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A falling-out at Labasa

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

Squad

A row about effort at Labasa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ilaisa Vulimainavuso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Dave Verevou faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Dave Verevou after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Misaele Kaumaitotoya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Misaele Kaumaitotoya commits to Labasa for another 3 years.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Christopher Wasasala

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout

Netani Suluka has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Labasa 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.

Transfer targets

Lautoka tell Labasa: Atunaisa Naucukidi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Akeimi Ralulu 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 Labasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Isikeli Bari steps up from the Labasa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Isikeli Bari 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.

Market

Labasa promote Akuila Sauturaga from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Akuila Sauturaga 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.

Epeli Kaumaitotoya steps up from the Labasa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Epeli Kaumaitotoya 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.

Market

Labasa promote Amani Nakaci from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Amani Nakaci 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.

In brief

  • Squad Words at Labasa training over how hard people work
  • Squad The training reports on Sitiveni Rakai are not good
