Ba Football Association President Praneel Dayal believes the Men in Black are on course to end their seven-year Extra Premier League title drought following today's dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Labasa at Subrail Park.

Speaking to fijivillage Sports after the match, Dayal acknowledged that winning at Subrail Park is never easy, saying Labasa is one of the toughest teams to beat on their home ground. 

Dayal praised his players for showing character to come from behind and secure the victory.

He says there are just two matches remaining and Ba is determined to finish at the top of the league standings.

He adds that it has been seven years since Ba last won the Premier League title, and the team believes the long wait will soon be over.

With only two matches remaining, Dayal says Ba knows a victory over Tailevu Naitasiri next Sunday could secure the title.

He is calling on fans to turn out in large numbers for next weekend's crucial clash.

Meanwhile, in other matches, Nadi claimed a 3-2 victory over Nasinu.

Tomorrow, Tailevu Naitasiri will host Navua at Uprising Sports Ground at 1pm.

Rewa will face Suva at 1pm at Churchill Park, before Lautoka take on Nadroga at 3pm.
