Monday, August 16, 2010 9:00 AM
The Solomon Islands have claimed their third consecutive OFC Futsal Championship at Suva's Vodafone Arena on Saturday, finishing above runners-up Fiji and New Zealand who took third.
Dickson Kadau's side concluded the round-robin competition in style with a 21-2 win over Tuvalu which almost matched the tournament record of 23-1 set by the Futsalroos over Samoa back in 1996 when Australia was still part of OFC. Kurukuru sensation Elliot Ragomo showed why he is one of the best in the region, scoring seven goals in his final match to claim the OFC Golden Boot Award just ahead of teammate Micah Lea'alafa. Kadau says it was a team effort that took them to the title. "The experienced players were all impressive but I have to say some of the...

The National Futsal Team went down fighting against Asian powerhouse Iran in their final match at the Alfateh Intercontinental Futsal Championship in Libya.
The Iranians had obviously studied Kurukuru's game and relied on counter attacks and set plays to catch the youngsters. Their strategy worked well and they comfortably won by 6 goals to nil. Kurukuru was in control in the first three minutes of the game carefully guarding its possession and looking for a way in. Micah Lea'alafa almost scored quite early in the game but his shot went just wide. In the 4th minute Iran used a set play to go 1 ahead in the tussle.

The young Kurukuru side lost to hosts Libya in their first match but made for themselves a heroic introduction at the Alfateh Intercontinental Futsal cup.
The hosts, ranked 26 in the world, barely escaped with 6 - 5 nail biter against the young side which is ranked at 64. The island boys went as far as leading the hosts by 3 - 1 at one stage in the game. The game started with both teams going at each other neck to neck both in attack and in defence. "The game was played at a frantic pace," Team Manager, Mapuru Tausinga reported back from Libya. "The boys played very well against their much more experienced opponents." Kurukuru's pressure paid of quite early when Elliot Ragomo netted his first and the added a...
