Defending Suva Zone 2 boy’s division champion Marist Brothers High School will be all out to defend their title at next month’s zone meet.
After completing their inter-house yesterday, the red fire squad has some big names to boost their chances in the zone meet and during the coke games.
Team Manager Navitalai Waiwalu said even with these athletes they will not be counting any school out.
Athletes in the likes of former Dudley High School Intermediate boys high jump gold and Pacific Games silver medalist Sikeli Waqa, former Suva Muslim College middle distance ace Zubair Dean and former Suva Primary School champ Simon Lilicama have joined the Red Fire brigade.
19 year old Sprint King Banuve Tabakaucoro said they will be relying on some of their younger and new athletes to restore their lost pride.
Marist beat Suva Grammar in the Zone meet last year but the table turned around on them in the Coca Cola Games where they had to settle for the second spot.
Meanwhile, Lambert House was crowned as the 2012 winner yesterday at the Marist inter-house.
