Despite coming off to a slow start this season, Naitasiri under-20 head coach Dan Ligairi says his player’s determination is what brought them this far in the Skipper Cup competition.
The side secured a hard fought 17-12 win over Suva at Bidesi Park yesterday, which sees them face western powerhouse Nadi the final.
“Starting of the season was very hard for us, a lot of hiccups along the way which kept drawing us back but we keep pulling through. Then we reached the round robin, through to the quarter-finals and then the semi-finals.”
He adds that reaching the finals alongside their senior team is a special one for them, and are calling out their fans to rally behind the two team as they look to bring both trophies home.
Nadi is not a new opponent to Naitasiri, and while they respect the side, they will be going all out in their final this weekend.
