Solomon Islands soccer defender Javin Wae is expected to start for Campbelltown City when they take on second placed Adelaide City on Friday 9th May in the South Australia (SA) National Premier League (NPL) round nine match.
Wae returned from injury to feature for Campbelltown in their 2-1 victory over third place Adelaide United last weekend.
Campbelltown who are in ninth place will take on second place Adelaide City on Friday night at the Adelaide City Park, Pitch 1.
In the SA State League One, another Solomon Islander Rovu Boyers is also expected to start for his West Adelaide club against South Adelaide on Saturday 10th May.
Boyers is a key player for third place West Adelaide having scored consecutive goals in round seven and round eight. He could be emulating his scoring prowess in this round nine match against bottom side South Adelaide.
Another SA State League One match on Saturday will feature Adelaide Cobra who has Solomon Islander William Komasi as one of its defenders. They will take on second place Adelaide Blue Eagles. The Cobras are eighth on the table.
Tenth place Vipers FC who has Micah Lea’alafa among its players are also playing on Saturday, this time against top side Sturt Lions.
In the SA NPL level, Solomon Islands wing back Junior David is expected to appear for his Croydon FC side against FK Beograd on Sunday 10th May.
Croydon FC is fifth on the SA NPL table whilst FK Beograd is seventh and Wae’s Campbelltown City is in ninth.
FK Beograd currently has one ni-Vanuatu international Jared Clark who plays as a defender. It is the same club that Lea’alafa played for in the 2023 season of the SA NPL.
Meanwhile another Solomon Islander Raphael Leai and his Wollongong Wolves club will take on Marconi Stallion FC at Marconi Stadium on Saturday 10th May in round 14 of the New South Wales NPL.
Leai had a disappointing round 13 match for the Wolves against NWS Spirit last weekend when they lost 1-0 and will be seeking to make amends for that performance on Saturday.
