The integration of young talent aims to rejuvenate the team and foster a sense of potential moving forward.
Ledua respects the caliber of competitors like Lami Cavaliers, stating, “Lami Cavaliers is a tough team, but the boys really worked hard throughout this season.” The team’s strategy going into the match was focused on earning a bonus point, which they successfully achieved. Looking ahead, Ledua expressed optimism for the upcoming match, reflecting the team’s commitment to improving and competing at a high level.
