Labasa Team Manager Lepani Waqavesi says the athletes are here to have fun and enjoy themselves during the two-day event.

Waqavesi says the athletes have settled down well and have acclimatised to the Suva weather and ready to compete with the giants of the competition.

Meet Manager Adriu Qio says preparations for the two day tournament is going well and they are positive of a great tournament this year.

He says they are closely following up with the Ministry of Education and the Nadi Weather Office of the current weather situation and will act accordingly if instructions are given to cancel the games.
