The Tailevu/Naitasiri team does not want a repeat of what happened 4 years ago in the Promotion-Relegation match against Nadroga this Sunday.
They last played Nadroga in 2008 for a spot in the Super Premier division but on both legs of the promotion-relegation, they lost to the Stallions and since then have remained in the lower rank of soccer in the country.
Coach Tagi Vonolagi has worked with this current squad throughout last season where they beat Rakiraki in the Viti Levu zone final before been crowned champion when they defeated Dreketi.
Vonolagi knows against the Stallions they have to do well in Suva with the return game in Lawaqa the following weekend.
Tailevu/Naitasiri will host the first promotion-relegation match against Nadroga at the TFL National Stadium this Sunday at 3pm.
