The Avatiu side gave Titikaveka a difficult battle to win last week but fell one goal short.
In this week’s Friday’s match, the Avatiu men’s team hopes to cause another huge upset and are preparing themselves for another difficult take.
Through both rounds the Avatiu team have proven themselves to be a difficult one, and will need to portray the same willingness in order to defeat Nikao once again.
Top goers Nikao Sokattak, who also went down last week to Tupapa, will be looking to gain another threee points in order to further their lead, and keep a firm grip on their top spot.
The Nikao side have found it comfortable at the top for the past few games but last week’s defeat will have hopefully pulled them out of their comfort zone and back into their normal hard to beat style of playing.
A win for them today could boost their chances at keeping their placing and will hopefully silence the murmurs from their last loss to Avatiu.
In the islander women’s division, playing their matches on Thursday, the Avatiu women’s team have had little luck in their previous matches, and will want to earn themselves a win.
The Nikao Sokattak side haven’t been their usual selves on field, and after their loss to Tupapa last week, will want to come away with a win in today’s match, both will have to mimic their best games in order to triumph.
The U15 BSP Boys will be the drawer starts for the women’s game today at 4pm, while the U15 BSP Girls will start the premier men’s match on Friday.
