The Kaiviti Silktails suffered a disappointing loss, going down 36-14 to the Melbourne Storm during their Jersey Flegg Cup match held at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka. This defeat marks the Silktails’ twelfth of the season, leaving them at the bottom of the table with only eight points.
In the match, the Storm dominated, scoring seven tries, with winger Amaziah Murgha impressively netting a hat-trick. The Silktails’ efforts were led by Asalusi Nagicu, who scored first for the team in the 18th minute, followed by another try from Adrea Ramabuke in the 60th minute. Additionally, Melikiseteki Nacaginimasei contributed with a penalty in the 26th minute.
The Silktails’ season has highlighted moments of resilience amidst significant challenges. Previously, they managed to show some spark despite losses, including a narrow edge against teams like the New Zealand Warriors, which suggests their potential to grow and improve. Support from the community remains strong, and the team has an upcoming challenge against the Warriors next Saturday at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland, where they will look to turn their fortunes around.
As they prepare for the next game, there is hope that the lessons learned from this season, along with fan encouragement, will help the young squad find their footing and eventually perform better in the league. The journey of the Kaiviti Silktails thus continues, marked by determination and the promise of future growth.
