Legge praises Lautoka support, eyes strong turnout in Ba

McDonald's Fijian Drua Women head coach Mike Legge has lauded the home crowd in Lautoka for their pivotal role in the team's recent comeback victory. Legge credited the "energy from the stands" as a significant factor in the second-half turnaround against the Western Force, describing the Lautoka turnout as a "major boost" for the players on the field.

"The fans really got us up in that second half. It was a really good crowd in Lautoka and we’re expecting the same from Ba," Legge stated, expressing his hope for a repeat of the fervent support. The upcoming match against the Brumbies in Ba marks the Drua Women's first game at that venue this season. Legge believes the team owes its supporters a compelling performance, both those in attendance and those watching from across Fiji and internationally.

"We’ll certainly put on a show and probably raise a few blood pressure. But we’re expecting a really good turnout and we want to put on a positive performance for our fans in Ba and everyone watching live around the world," Legge added. The team is focused on building momentum and strengthening its connection with supporters throughout Fiji as they prepare for the Saturday clash, which kicks off at 2:05 PM and will be broadcast live on FBC 2.
