Parramatta Eels winger Maika Sivo is looking forward to playing his first ever home game for the Vodafone Fiji Bati when they take on the PNG Kumuls in round 1 of the Pacific Rugby League Bowl Championship
Sivo says it is going to be a dream come true to play in front of his home crowd and his excitement was evident as he has purchased over 30 tickets for his family members from his village in Momi, Nadroga to come and watch the game.
He says players rarely get the opportunity to play in front of their home crowd and he is looking to make this event a significant milestone for him and the 11 new players in the squad.
Sivo is hopeful that a good number of supporters will travel from Sigatoka and that even more fans will attend the game.
Tickets are priced at $60 for Grandstand Category A, $40 for Grandstand Category B, and $15 for the Concrete Embankment/Seawall grass and Laucala Bay grass areas.
The Bati play the Kumuls at 8.10pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium.
