Defending Coca-Cola Suva Zone 2 champions Suva Grammar School will field a total of 173 athletes for the zone at the ANZ Stadium tomorrow.

While speaking to fijivillage, the Grammarian Lions head coach Jone Delai says the atmosphere in Grammar is normal but the students know deep down inside that they have a job to do and they are prepared to compete.

Delai says they started their preparations in November with a small training squad but stayed focused despite the restrictions and struggles and slowly built on the team.
