The Northland Tailevu team is slowly finding its feet in the Digicel Senior League.

Last week the side defeated an experienced Tavua team 2-1 on their home ground at Garvey Park.

The upset win over Tavua after nine years has really boosted the morale in camp as the side prepares to take on Rakiraki this weekend.
