Natabua High School principal, Virendra Sharma said, his side has never been in a situation like that of tomorrow - the Under-18 Vodafone Super Dean's Trophy final.
However, Sharma said the entire school had its feet firmly on the ground as the team had prepared well for the historic match.
"For Natabua High School, it is the game. We have never been there," Sharma said.
"QVS has been there and understands the atmosphere and the intensity.
"They have walked the talk and have been on the podium before.
"Our school has never been prouder as there is no other sports bigger than the Deans in the school sporting calendar.
"This is a dream for us to make it to the Deans final. It is something big for us.
"My trust in my boys is unwavering. I believe in the coaches and the way they are preparing the boys."
Sharma said he could not take anything away from his team as they would take up the challenge with eagerness, keeping in mind what would be waiting for them.
He acknowledged the support from parents and old scholars.
And for that, he promised that the team would leave nothing left in the tank.
