The Navua soccer team will still be able to field a strong line-up against Lautoka in the opening leg of the Champion vs Champion series this afternoon although they will miss the services of 3 key players from last season.

Coach Gurjeet Singh who is also eyeing to add the CVC title to his name will be without players like Pita Bolaitoga who has joined Labasa, Alvin Avinesh and Lorima Dau who will play for Lautoka today.

Singh has brought in Suva's Henry Dyer to fill Avinesh's position in the midfield while former Ba rep Maciu Dunadamu adds strength in the striking force.

Also former Rakiraki player Jale Vota could get a taste of playing top level soccer today after he signed a contract with Navua.

Players like Pene Erenio, Ben Amenio, Siga Ali, Simione Tamanisau and Praveen Chand who won the IDC for the side will again take the field for Navua this afternoon.

The Navua and Lautoka game will kick-off at 3pm and live commentary on our sister radio station Sargam.
