The Suva soccer team will be banking on stylish mid-fielder Esava Naqeleca to guide the side to defend the King Irving Cup.

Suva takes on Rewa in the first leg of the King Irving Cup game tomorrow and will not give the Delta tigers any chance to touch the prestigious cup.

Naqeleca has been playing soccer in Vanuatu from the beginning of this year but is now back for the capital side.

Team President, Mahendra Prasad said his players know the task ahead of them and will come out firing in tomorrow night's southern encounter.
