National reps Atunaisa Bale and Ilaitia Qalo were in action for Komo.

Team captain Bale says many didn’t expect the result but they believed in themselves.

“We didn’t score too many points because we only had 85 runs and Suva have a very experienced squad, there’s only a few of us in the team who have represented Fiji”.

Some of the players know how important the Easter championship is because this is also a chance for them to impress the selectors.

Komo will enjoy the win for now, however, they know the job is not done yet as the competition will run for the next two weeks.
