Lautoka soccer President, Shalendra Prasad is confident the Blues can win the BOG title without their nine key players who have been suspended.
Prasad said time has come to give the Under 20 players a chance to showcase their talent, which will also develop the young players for the O-league competition.
Prasad said he has no regret of losing key players like Alifereti Baleiloa, Samuela Kautoga, Semesa Nakosia, Valerio Nawatu, Osea Vakatalesau, Ilaitia Tuilau, Niumaia Tagi, Apisai Smith and Leone Vurukania who have gone against the association by failing to attend fitness test and boycotting training.
Meanwhile, Krishna Sami, Shameel Rao, Marika Madigi, Jone Vono Junior and Arvindra Naidu will play for Lautoka in the upcoming BOG and have been cleared of all charges.
Lautoka will play Nasinu in their opening BOG pool game on Sunday at 12pm at the TFL Stadium.
