Queen Victoria School is turning its struggle into motivation as its Under-18 side heads into the quarter-final of the Vodafone Deans competition.
Captain Josese Tawake says the intensity of training can be intimidating, forcing the players beyond their limits.
But it fosters a solid team spirit and Tawake says this is what they’ll look to as inspiration in tomorrow’s quarter-final match.
“I just reminded the boys what we came to do and the things that we have been through this season and pre-season it was a lot and it’s just a waste if it all comes down to a loss.”
Tawake is confident they will bring the national Deans trophy back to Tailevu this year.
Tomorrow QVS will take on Nasinu Secondary School.
