The HLB Mann Judd Suva futsal team demonstrated remarkable resilience even after facing a setback in the pool matches. Despite suffering a 2-1 defeat against 4R Electrical, Gabby’s Investment, and Rooster Chicken Ba Futsal, the team bounced back impressively to secure their place in the finals.
In the semi-final, Suva outplayed Nadi with a score of 4-2 and went on to decisively defeat Lautoka 6-2 in the final. Head coach Vivek Nadan emphasized that losing in the pool rounds turned out to be advantageous as it allowed the team to recalibrate their strategies for the elimination rounds. Expressing pride in his players, Nadan noted how they quickly regrouped and were determined to achieve victory once they reached the final stage.
Looking ahead, Nadan mentioned that the team will take a break in December before returning in January for the upcoming season, where they plan to continue their pursuit of excellence.
In the women’s division, Rewa emerged victorious, clinching the title after topping the points table. Both the men’s and women’s champions each received shopping vouchers worth $1,000 from Extra Supermarket, while the runners-up were awarded $500 vouchers.
This showcases not only the competitive spirit of the teams but also the positivity surrounding local sports, as they prepare for future challenges with renewed energy and dedication.
In summary, Suva’s persistence paid off as they claimed victory in the finals, highlighting the importance of resilience in sports. The positive outcomes for both men’s and women’s teams reflect a bright future for futsal in the region.
