Nasinu against Nadi in their Vodafone Premier League match played in February
The Nasinu football team has a mammoth task ahead of them this week.
Nasinu will play the most successful side in the Vodafone Premier League, Ba, on Saturday.
Even though 11 players applied for their release from Ba in the mid-season transfer window, it failed to have an impact on the Men In Black as they defeated Navua 5-3 over the weekend.
Nasinu Football President O’Neil Chand says playing Ba at their home ground is quite challenging.
“It will be quite a good exposure for us as well going into their home ground I would say last year same time we went and played with them and we almost won so the boys are eager to go and give the best shot in the first game”.
The Nasinu side is seventh on the VPL table with four points after winning one out of their four matches.
