The run at home goes on for Vaprus
11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Boardroom5 Mar 2029
A new deal for Konstantin Antonov
The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Words exchanged at Vaprus
Aston Visse 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.

Aston Visse the difference as Vaprus beat Elva

One of our own: Silver Ojamaa joins the Vaprus first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Silver Ojamaa is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
