The Kaiviti Silktails, led by Captain Gabriel Tunimakubu, recently celebrated a hard-fought 24-22 victory over the Newcastle Knights in Round 4 of the Jersey Flegg Cup. Tunimakubu credited his team’s triumph to their positive mindset and the strong support from family and friends at Lawaqa Park, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a competitive spirit as they navigate through the season.
Tunimakubu stated, “Our key points are just to roll through the middle and use the advantage of the sun, you know, the heat.” He also expressed a clear plan to win all home games to instill a winning culture within the squad. Reflecting on areas for improvement, he acknowledged weaknesses in both the backline and forwards that they will address in upcoming training sessions.
Looking forward, the Silktails are set to meet the Warriors next Saturday at Churchill Park, where they will aim to build on their recent success. This match not only represents another opportunity for victory but also the potential to further solidify the team’s camaraderie and skill development.
In an encouraging note, recent articles have highlighted the Silktails’ determination and resilience after a challenging start to the season. Their ongoing commitment to growth and improvement reflects the broader evolution of rugby in Fiji, with rising local support expected to bolster their spirits as they strive for success.
The Kaiviti Silktails’ journey is not just about seeking wins but also about harnessing the collective hope and energy of their community, which could play a pivotal role in shaping their competitive landscape this season.
