PICTURE GALLERY: Henry Dyer meets Meli Vuilabasa in Lautoka City, 30 July 2017.

One of the great traditional features of Fiji Soccer is that when the tournaments are held in a town or city (FIJI FACT, BOG or IDC) everyone in the soccer community heads to that place and you will never know who you will meet. With the BOG just completed in Lautoka, the city still had some soccer buzz remaining in it on 30 July 2017 when Nadi and Fiji legend Henry Dyer (right) met Ba and Fiji champion Meli Vuilabasa (left) by chance in Yasawa Street, only one street away from Namoli Village where Henry grew up. This picture shows the view looking south down Yasawa Street in the direction of Naviti Street, Leon's Nightclub, and Vitogo Parade.

Nadi stuns Ba to remain top and unbeaten

Jacks Nadi made a gallant comeback against Ba this evening at Govind Park after being down 1 - 0 at half time to win 2- 1.

Ba started brightly with the U20 reps in the lineup nd Saula Waqa took advantage of error from Nadi defense to put Ba up 1- 0 in the first half.

Nadi failed to settle early and had to dig deep in defence to keep Ba attackers at bay and it stayed that way until the half time.

Stern words from Nadi coach Kamal Swamy at the break  and Nadi came out firing and shocked the vocal Ba Fans inside the first 20 seconds of the start to make it 1-1. Striker Samuela Drudu scored to the delight of Nadi fans who had traveled to Ba to support their team.

After the goal Nadi was all over with Ba having no answer and Nadi displaying wonderful football that has seen them being unbeaten and top of the table.

A tactical change from Nadi coach saw keeper cum striker Ben Aminio replace National U20 player Matasai Toma and it was Ben who scored a stunning goal to give Nadi 2 - 1 win.

The win sees Nadi extend the lead at the top of the table to 7 points over second placed Suva.

Who says our fans don't have the noise and passion of European soccer?

Nadi 4 defeated Tailveu-Naitasari 0 in the first match of 2014 IDC @ Prince Charles Park, Saturday, 4 October 2014. This game showed the huge gap in class between the top six or seven teams (Nadroga is borderline) and the next group of teams such as Navua and Tailevu-Naitasari. This is a perpetual problem for Fiji football. It was here 30 years ago and is still a problem today. Perhaps new clubs should be formed in places such as Namaka, Saru, and Sabeto, and/or there should be a second Suva team. These teams might make up a more competitive bottom half of the national league.
