Ricky Wadunah and the challenge of taking Stallions to National League’s semi-finals

After five months, the 2019-20 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League is ready to resume this weekend as five matches will be contested on Saturday – two in Lae and three in Port Moresby. With eight rounds to go until the end of the regular season, the possibilities are still open for all teams including the only club from Madang: Tusbab Stallions.

Currently in the fourth position with seventeen points in ten matches, Stallions are having a marvelous season but now they have to deal with the absence of rising star Stahl Gubag who left the team to join Lae City.

Despite Stahl Gubag’s departure, Tusbab Stallions still have a good squad for the National Soccer League: “Some new players joined the team while other players are going to have a bigger role now. We are working hard and looking forward for the upcoming matches,” said young midfielder Ricky Wadunah.

Ricky is a regular starter in the team and he is surely one of the most important players in the squad. When asked about the remainder of the season he was clear: “It is going to be tougher. All teams had time to work on their weakness“.

Stallions were performing in a very good level before the COVID-19 pandemics but the 19-year-old midfielder is sure that they can perform even better now to book a spot in the National Soccer League semi-finals.

Wadunah and his teammates will face Kutubu at Sir Ignatius Kilage Stadium in Lae. You can check the update schedule of the league by clicking here.
