The Trakai Courier
Match4 Mar 2028
The wait goes on for Trakai
17 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Trakai leaking at the back
17 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

A one-man rearguard from Aidas Vaitkunas
There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Kevin Torena signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kevin Torena and Trakai agree another 4 years.

Arnas Barauskas is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Edvinas Paulauskas 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 Trakai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom6 Mar 2028
Graduation day at Trakai
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
Trakai come up short against Suduva
Suduva left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Trakai promote Darius Sernas from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Darius Sernas 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.
