HONIARA – Uncles FC’s 2-1 win over Walas has toppled Makuru FC from top spot in the DJ Graphics League in Solomon Islands. A sensational double strike from goal-getter Junior Billy catapulted Uncles FC into top slot with a slender one point lead over a Makuru team led by Solomon Islands international legend Bartram Suri.
The former Nelson Suburbs and Football Kingz striker is in deadly form at present after finishing top goalscorer at the recent DJ Graphics Beach Soccer "Road to France Cup" held at David Chow Senior Park just outside Honiara last weekend.
Kossa FC’s hopes of qualifying for the National Clubs Championship look slim despite its OFC O-League victory over Fiji champions Ba on Monday.
The Jacob Moli coached team trails Marist FC by fives points and rivals Koloale have a game in hand.
The top three clubs in the DJ Graphics Premier League qualify as Honiara Football Association’s (HFA) representatives at the Solomon Islands Football Federation (SIFF) National Clubs Championship.
The winner of the National Clubs Championship represent Solomon Islands in the OFC O-League competition for 2008/09 season.
