Tough clash

Solomon Islands Koloale will meet group leaders Amicale in the final O-league match for the season this Saturday at Lawson Tama stadium in what is anticipated to be an tough clash.
Koloale, who make the revenge from their previous loses are expected to continue the fight to regain their pride when they take on the Vanuatu champions and given their success so far Amical will have to work hard to maintain their winning form. Amicale have done well throughtout the season and will looking to confirm their place in the O-league final playoff with Auckland City who have already qualified courtesy of their 3 wins and 2 draws.
The challenge for Koloale will be dealing with the in-form Fennedy Masauvakalo who is the current top scorer in the O-league and his excellent finishing record will be something that they need to look out for.
On the other hand, koloale's firepower of Benjiman Totori and Ian Paia expected to be the craceker for koloale. The pair have been in great form in their past two games that they won.
The major concern for koloale is the absence of George Suri who play important role in the stopper position. This will create a gap for Amicale forwards to capitalise upon and his effect against opposing corners and crosses will be sorely missed by the Koloale outfit.
Amicala will also be missing some of their key players including Star Futsal sensation Jack Wetney and Solomon Islands national rep Alick Maemae who are missing from their line up for the match but still they have other players to fill the vacum.

History and Culture

Malaita Island

Malaita Island is an island having a rich culture and lying in the north of Guadalcanal in Solomon Islands. The Malaita Island has a large 'bush people' population as well as artificial islands built by inhabitants if the west coast around Langa Langa Lagoon. These artificial islands are the most important sightseeing attractions of Malaita Island and have made the Malaita Island in Solomon Islands a hotshot tourist destination. The transportation system in Malaita Island has become much more advanced when the new Solomon Airlines services started connecting Honiara to the northern atoll of Ontong Java. There are various things worth watching in Malaita Island but the custom of the Malaita Island especially of the Kwaio people is something that will really interest you. This custom is the worshipping of shark as one of the prime deities. This is because fishing is the main profession of these people and they want to have themselves safeguarded from the sharks. The artificial islands of Malaita Island are built at the Langa Langa and Lau lagoons. These islands have their drinking water supply from the rainwater or it is carried from the mainland. These artificial islands are home to the 'shark callers'- people who practice the tradition of calling out to the sharks, and Laulasi which are 'haunted houses' easily identifiable because of their high roofs. Know the shark callers and see them in action in front of the sea. Another island that is worth visiting is Ferasubua which is located at the eastern tip of the Lau Lagoon. It is said to be built by a warrior called Marukua from the Walo tribe of the Morodo. Lilisiana is another artificial island which is famous for its golden sand beaches and the industry of making currency by using shell. There are various cultural villages such as Aofia, Mae'aena, Anoano, Alite, Mana'afe, Aumea and Uru. These villages are worth visiting because here you can find the indigenous people of Malaita Island and get to know their various customs. The Busu cultural village is also worth visiting site. The main administrative center of Malaita Island that is Auki is another worth visiting site and most scenic among the towns of Solomon Islands.

Malaita - History and Cultural Relations

Malaita was largely avoided in the early whaling and trading period (pre-1860) because of its inhospitable coastline and inhabitants. About 1870, Malaitans began to be kidnapped (and were later indentured) in the labor trade to Queensland, Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia plantations, a process notable for violent confrontations and heavy loss of life. Mission enclaves were established at the turn of the century. Pacification of Malaita began in 1909 but was not completed until 1927, after the assassination of a district officer by Kwaio warriors. Malaita was mostly spared the direct ravages of World War II, but laborers working with American troops were central in a postwar anticolonial resistance movement, Maasina ("Marching") Rule, focused on recognition of customary law and the codification of custom, indigenous representation in the process of administration, improved pay, dignity, and working conditions, and communal reorganization along military lines. The Solomon Islands gained Independence in 1978, and today Malaitans play many important roles in national life.
