“We had a real connection with the kids in the school. For them to come and support us, it really meant a lot to the players.”
Auvray says the players made it a priority to acknowledge that support after the match.
“When the game was done, the first thing we wanted to do was go and see the kids because they really helped us today.”
He describes the overall experience as a memorable one for the team.
Bula FC will now look forward to playing in front of their home supporters as the OFC Pro League shifts to Fiji for the next round.
