“We all know that every settlement has a group of boys joining into this drug trend that’s going on and everyone is trying to smoke, peer pressure and all that. We’re just hoping that we can grab a few boys and show them that there is more to life than drugs and alcohol.”

Green Valley hopes taking part in highly competitive event will be a platform to create awareness in the Tamavua-i-Wai community.

The team won their first match against Nadera Red 2 sets to 1 at the LICI courts in Laucala Bay, Suva.
