The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are gearing up to turn their season around after suffering two difficult losses at the beginning of the campaign. This weekend, they are set to face the Hurricanes in a highly anticipated match at home, with a forecast of rain adding an extra layer of excitement.
Coach Glen Jackson is optimistic about the upcoming clash, believing that the anticipated sizable crowd will energize his team. “It’s going to be a great game. There’s going to be a bit of rain around, which will bring the heat down, and it’ll be awesome to have a massive crowd. Everyone knows that we love playing in the wet,” he remarked.
Jackson emphasizes that the gloomy weather could work in favor of the Drua, who typically play a physical and direct style. This could prove especially beneficial when facing a Hurricanes side known for their extensive high-performance preparation.
The history between the Drua and the Hurricanes has always been marked by intensity, and fans can expect another thrilling encounter given their past matches. Jackson also highlighted the contributions of young players who are stepping up early in the season, bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to the squad.
With newfound determination and valuable lessons learned from their opening games, the Drua feel they are on the verge of delivering a complete 80-minute performance. Fans can look forward to a promising showdown at Churchill Park in Lautoka at 3:35 PM on Saturday, with the match available for viewing on FBC Sports.
The opportunity to rally together with the home crowd could be just what the Drua need to ignite their season and showcase their potential.
