We have experience and young players - Lutua

Maria Lutua commonly known as MJ of the Fiji Pearls is ready but knows how tough the Oceania Netball Tri- Series will be for all the three teams next week.

Lutua said it is a good feeling to have one of the top Netball team like the Silver Ferns to come play in Fiji and have Netball fans watch the match live.

She said it is going to be a tough competition for the team because everyone is prepared to win and for her personally she feels the same way.

She added the Fiji Pearls team has a good mixture of both experienced and young players that will be able to blend together.

Meanwhile, the Silver Ferns will arrive in the country today.

The Oceania Netball Tri‑Series will start at 6.40pm next Monday with the Fiji Pearls taking on the Silver Ferns in the opening match at the Vodafone Arena.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children under 12 years of age.
