The MSG Prime Minister’s Cup 2024 kicked off yesterday in Honiara, offering local football fans a chance to witness the fresh talent joining their national team. Among the notable newcomers were Rovu Boyers and Don Keana, both of whom played important roles in securing the team’s first three points in the tournament.
Their performances have created discussions among fans about the evolving landscape of national football, especially as the once popular young star, Raphael Leai, started the game from the bench.
One fan shared their thoughts, stating that this shift could represent a change in both style and face for the team. While Leai is known for his amazing pace and focus on sprinting and through balls, Boyers displayed a more composed approach. “Rovu plays with calm control, not just relying on speed, which is something we’ve seen less of in recent years,” the fan remarked.
Boyers, along with Keana, brought a sense of command to the field, particularly Boyers, who was praised for his steady presence.
As the tournament progresses into its second day, fans are eagerly awaiting to see if this new style of play will define the future of the national team.
While many are questioning, is this face of football in Solomon Islands changing?
