US based Stephen Clemens and New Zealand based Salesh Kumar jetted into the country this morning to join the Navua soccer teams training run today.

The duo have returned to bring back the glory again for the Southern's as both had played a vital part for Navua in last year’s Courts IDC where the team lifted the prestigious trophy for the first time.

Coach, Gurjeet Singh will utilise the duo in midfield and this is an area where Navua will have an advantage against other teams as Kumar and Clemens combination was highly rated by soccer pundits last year.

Kumar who is a former Ba rep has been a regular import for Lautoka and Navua in the major soccer tournaments due to his exceptional capabilities in manning the midfield area and providing quality ball to the strikers.

Meanwhile, Seveci Rokotakala and Taniela Waqa have picked up minor injuries in training however the two are expected to be fit before their first match.

Navua opens its Courts IDC campaign against Labasa this Thursday at 5.30pm and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
