“They’ve been part of our Silktails program for the last two years and they got rewarded for that with an opportunity to play in the Queensland Cup. They had an opportunity to come back here as well so they decided to do that and now they’re going to be a great addition to our young team.”

Naiqama says his side will have the advantage this weekend as they play on home ground.

He adds it’s the home crowd that motivates the players.

Their match against St.Mary’s will kick start at 12pm tomorrow at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
