Raboiliku also gave credit to Marist Principal, Asish Dayal.

He says Dayal has been there from day 1 and so many things were said about him and his decision to let go of all the old coaches and bring in the new coaches.

Raboiliku says at the end of the day, they are all part of the Marist family, and wherever they go they aim to produce the results.

ACS coach, Makelesi Bulikiobo-Batimala says their victory today was not an easy one.
