Labasa coach stresses they have enough depth to replace Mateisuva

Labasa soccer coach Ravneel Pratap says they have enough depth in the squad to replace former captain Akuila Mateisuva who has joined Suva.

Pratap says they have Atunaisa Naucukidi and Misiwane Nairube.

He says they have a number of young players coming through to replace the ones that have joined other districts and the team will perform to the best of their ability.

The side will be relying on other experienced players such as Lekima Gonerau, Iliasa Lino, Ratu Anare Apenisa, Ashnil Raju and Edwin Sahayam this season.

Labasa will play Nasinu in the opening match of the Digicel Premier League at 12pm at the ANZ Stadium tomorrow.

In other matches at the ANZ Stadium tomorrow, Rewa takes on Ba at 2pm while Suva hosts defending champions Lautoka at 4.30pm.

Nadi will take on Tailevu Naitasiri at 1pm at Prince Charles Park tomorrow while Navua hosts Nadroga at the Uprising Sports Centre at 3pm.
