The Ba soccer president Rishi Kumar said his players will try their level best to defend the CVC Series title this season.

Kumar says they will enter tonight's opening game against Lautoka without 11 key players, with some taking a release while afew did not turn up for training and one or two players are recovering from injury.

Kumar says they will still put up a good team which can give Lautoka a run for their money and believes that his side can claim the first victory tonight.

The likely Ba team for today's clash will be : Jone Ralulu, Malakai Kanahawe, Jone Vesikula, Manueli Kalou, Avinesh Swamy, Keni Doidoi, Roneel Kumar, Malakai Tiwa, Meli Codro, Josaia Bukalidi and Maviliko Nakama.

Meanwhile Lautoka soccer president Shalen Prasad said revenge is on their mind as they have played twice against Ba in the CVC series and lost both encounters.
