Titikaveka and Sokattak women’s teams to clash

The Nikao field will play host to the visiting Titikaveka Football Club today with the scheduled matches to kick off at 1pm in the under 14 girls division.

Following the first match the under 14 boys will go head to head while the next match will kick off at 2.30pm in the senior women’s category.

Nikao Sokattak senior women’s outfit are currently sitting in second place with goal difference separating them from competition leaders Puaikura.

A win today against Titikaveka could see Nikao take over the leaders’ podium.

Nikao features a number of sturdy players playing in pivotal areas with the likes of Jennifer Akavi in the defence and Poko Manuela in the mid field while speedster strikers Tepaeru Toka and Teiti Tupuna aim to put those loose balls to the back of the net.

For sure Titikaveka will look to cause problems for Nikao who, like their opponents, hold a number of essential players in the different positions of play with the combination of midfielders Edwina Matenga and Ani Piri directing play for their side.

Note that due to a funeral no games will be played at the Takitumu School grounds today.
