The Tailevu/Naitasiri football team is set to rely on their Under-19 players for the upcoming FMF Inter-District Championship (IDC), scheduled to begin on October 15. Head coach Priyant Manu mentioned that the team will prepare thoroughly before heading to Churchill Park in Lautoka.
They are placed in Group B of the Premier division alongside Tavua and Savusavu. Manu noted that Tailevu/Naitasiri has previously won the Senior division at the IDC and is eager to claim the Premier division title this time.
He acknowledged the challenge posed by their opponents, specifically Tavua, who have just been promoted. “We will give our best shot,” he stated. “Most of our under-19 and youth players will be given a chance at the IDC for invaluable exposure. We plan to make a significant impact on game day.”
The IDC competition will take place from October 15 to 20.
