The Gabriel Qoro- coached side Fijiana FANZ defeated Fiji Secondary Schools 37-24 in the third day of the Digicel Punjas International Secondary Schools Netball Challenge at the Vodafone Arena yesterday.

“Despite being with the girls for the past three days of the competition and with the outcome and performance delivered, I feel they have been very impressive.

“I feel we are one of the teams to be reckoned with after a good win and we are now on the track,” Qoro said.

“Our win against the ‘Baby Pearls’ yesterday boosted the morale of the players to keep striving to do best.”

Qoro is hopeful the team will make it in the top three positions.

“We are hoping to be in the top three after the end of the tournament.

“We will now look and identified areas which the side will improve on in our remaining games.
