Reigning Champions

The ATMS-sponsored Nadi Local League came to end when Malolo Transmitter side over came DCA Sports by 2-1. This was the first time for both the teams to play in the finals of Nadi Football League. The Dominion Transport sponsored Malolo Transmitter side were boosted by the services of national reps Illimotama Jese and Vereti Dickson. Also available for this encounter were Ratu Veresa and Lekima Gonerau. On the other hand AFL DCA Sports was led by Nadi’s marksman Uraia Loki and Ratu Josevata. In the 17th minute of the first half. Transmitter striker Sumit Singh put them ahead through a defensive blunder. Both teams were carefully orchestrating their attacks on the muddy surface of Prince Charles Park. With the upper-hand Ratu Veresa was introduced to the play and he proved to be lethal as he headed away the winner from a corner kick in the second spell. The Malolo Transmitter president/manager Mr. Ravin Kumar was delighted with the performance of his boys. Luck was just not on DCA Sports side as they missed on various occasions. Ratu  Josevata sliced the cross bar twice with his free-kicks on both the ends of the park. But a late consolation goal was enough by midfielder Alfaz to settle the game to an end. Both teams have qualified to represent Nadi District in the National Club Championships later this year with the venue still not been decided yet.
