The knee: Mato Sucic out for 41 days
41 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. NK Domzale lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Triglav Kranj come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and NK Domzale did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Graduation day at NK Domzale
7 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Rok Brekalo steps up from the NK Domzale academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rok Brekalo 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.

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maj Fogec is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
In brief
- Boardroom No investment in the facilities at NK Domzale
- The dugout When it matters, Vid Sesko plays
- Looking ahead A reunion for Maj Fogec
