The Air Pacific Fiji U-21 Netball team is a step away from reaching the 1/4 finals in the World Youth Netball Championship in the Cook Islands.

After beating Samoa 57-43 and Botswana 43-31 last night the Melissa Walker coached side still have two games at hand with South Africa on Saturday and an uphill battle against top favourites Australia on Sunday.

A win against South Africa will secure a 1/4 final berth for the Asilika Sevutia led side.

Fiji will take on South Africa tomorrow at 10am.
