The Nasinu Sentinel

A knee injury of the worst kind for Revans Reddy
81 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Nasinu lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A fracture rules Epeli Valevou out for 40 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Nasinu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Desmond Udoka 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 The request is on a desk at Nasinu, and it is not being withdrawn.
Player ratings6 Mar 2028
A first appearance Matt Colvey will want to forget — 5.37
Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.37, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Taniela Rakariva signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Taniela Rakariva and Nasinu agree another 3 years.

Graduation day at Nasinu
5 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.
Match4 Mar 2028
A bad afternoon for Nasinu against Navua
1‑2 to Navua, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Tempers go at Nasinu
Epeli Valevou was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Nasinu promote Tevita Lal from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tevita 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.
