Cambridge Farms Nadroga will be aiming to hold on to the Inkk Farebrother Cup for another week as they face an experienced FMF Suva side during the 3rd challenge that will be held at Sigatoka’s Lawaqa Park tomorrow.

With a mixture of experienced and young players, the Stallions are beaming with confidence after recently defeating Namosi and Naitasiri in the first two challenges this year.

Former Flying Fijians and Nadroga back-rower Manueli Ratuniyarawa says they have a few areas of their game that need fine-tuning ahead of this match against Suva.

He says the boys stuck together including the substitutes that brought on the fire against Naitasiri, but they have got a few areas that they need to polish before playing against an unpredictable Suva side.

Ratuniyarawa says they will work on their set-piece moves, maintain possession, avoid knock-ons and apply pressure on the opposition.

Suva earlier defeated Nadroga in their round 1 encounter of the Skipper Cup Competition securing an impressive 31-17 win at Bidesi Park and are expected to give Nadroga a tough challenge this weekend.

Nadroga will host Suva at 3pm at Lawaqa Park.

Ticket prices are $30 for grandstand VIP bucket seats, $20 for flat grandstand, $15 for embankment and $5 for children 12 years old and under.
