He adds the team is coming into this tournament confident and know they have done enough to counter their opponents and end the tournament with a win.

The Glamada/ Extra Supermarket Labasa coach says they have a solid squad and believe they can get the job done and get the team to advance to the final four scheduled for next weekend.
