The Lautoka football side has set a target of playing in the semi-final of the Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants, which gets underway in Ba on Friday.

The Blues have not won the tournament since 1985 and also been in the doldrums lately with their performance in the league not up to par.

Lautoka football president, Sanjay Prasad, says they will enter the tournament as the underdogs.
