He says that he played a lot of schools football back at home in England and the Lami midfielder had some nice touches and also set up two goals.

According to McGirr he’ll play again for Lami in the Futsal tournament in Suva next week.

Both teams played with a lot of passion in the first half with four goals scored, both sides contributing two each.

Locked 2-all at half-time, Lami came out firing and netted their third.

However, the lead was cancelled when Bua equalized with a screamer five minutes later.

Bua plays Taveuni tomorrow while Lami faces Dreketi.
