The upcoming match for Labasa in the second Pillay Garments Champion vs Champion series is set to take place this Saturday at Subrail Park, where they will face Rewa. After trailing 1-0 from the first leg, which was held at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori, Coach Alvin Chand has emphasized the urgent need for a victorious performance. He described the situation as a must-win for the team, highlighting that anything less could jeopardize their chances of claiming the title.
Chand remarked that the previous leg’s result is a clear indication of the pressure on the players, referring to the second leg as a “baptism of fire.” He made it clear to the squad that a poor result would mean losing the chance at the Champion vs Champion title for good.
In a positive development for the team, Chand confirmed that key player Meli Codro will be available for selection, which could bolster Labasa’s chances of overcoming their deficit. Fans can tune in for live commentary of the match on Radio Fiji 2, adding an extra layer of excitement for supporters looking to rally behind their team.
