Fiji pearls players to prove their worth against Silver Ferns

The Fiji Pearls players will have to prove themselves if they are to be selected in the starting lineup to take on the Silver Ferns in their first match of the Oceania Tri Series later this month.

Team Manager Ruby Ann Sorovaki said she has had discussion with coach Kate Carpenter about selecting the right mix of players for their first match against New Zealand.

Sorovaki added they are happy with the fitness that the girls have shown during the training sessions and they have to prove their worth for selection.

Players that are expected to feature in the starting seven for Fiji include captain Mere Neiliko Rabuka, Matila Waqanidrola, Maria Lutua, Vaiti Waqatabu, Unaisi Rauluni and Nina Cirikisuva.

The Oceania Netball Tri Series starts on January 19th where Fiji will face the Silver Ferns in their first game at the Vodafone Arena.
