Suva football pulled away from the demands of match preparation to engage in several off-field events in the Solway Community just outside Luganville in Vanuatu.

They were also hosted to dinner by the Fijian community in the area.

Now adopted by the Solway community, Suva should have plenty of support tomorrow when they face the Solomon Warriors in their final pool match at 4pm.
