A new champion will be crowned in the Pillay's Garments Champion vs Champion soccer series this season.

Labasa, who were the champions failed to qualify this year after losing to Ba 2-0 in the deciding National soccer league match last season.

This year, 14th time champions Ba will take on Lautoka in the first leg at Govind Park tomorrow.

Both teams have not prepared so well for the opening match, as they did not have proper training grounds and some of their top players have been ruled out because of injury.

Ba will be without Peni Finau, Malakai Tiwa, Jone Sarolo and Kini Viliame while Lautoka will miss the services of striker Jone Vono Junior and defender Ilaitia Tuilau.

Lautoka has been tipped to win the first leg and also win this CVC series for the first time ever. The match will kickoff tomorrow at 3pm at Govind Park.
