The return of Labasa defender, Waisea Druna has given the side full confidence to take on Suva in their Fiji Sun/ GP Batteries National Football League macth at home on Sunday.

Association secretary, Satishwar Chand says Druna’s inclusion is timely as senior rep, Livai Duguca serves his one-match suspension.

“Livai Duguca has been Red carded and he has to one match suspension but there are a few other young boys, who are students and they have been training with us very well and I assume that the coach is going to put them in the first line-up."
