Rising star Salauneune

HE WILL turn 19 in August this year, but Jone Salauneune is already making waves on the local football scene.

With great acceleration, vision and the ability to dazzle the opposition with equally good footwork, the Ba marksman is tipped to shine at the 2012 Vodafone Fiji FACT starting at Ratu Cakobau Park this afternoon. He comes from a footballing family. Watch him tear the opposition defence to shreds over the next four days.

Salauneune and Ba are up against Nadroga tonight at 8pm. Savusavu and Lautoka get things underway at 5.30pm, Tavua meets Labasa at 6.45pm and Suva takes on Rewa in a southern derby at 9.15pm.
