The Fiji Police Force has named a formidable 25-member squad for their football side in preparation for Vodafone Ratu Sukuna Bowl.

This was after their inter-district championship (IDC) which was won by the Western Two team at Ratu Cakobau Park, Nausori last Saturday.

National rep and Lautoka striker Sairusi Nalaubu slotted in the much-needed goal at extra time to beat Police Mobile Forces (PMF), 1-0.

Team manager, ASP Mohammed Riyaz the win was dedicated to all hardworking police officers in the Western Division, from Rakiraki to Sigatoka.

The side last won the title about five years ago.

“This is for our families and the division commander too,” he said.

“It was a team effort.

“The team camped for a week but they managed to balance work and training, serving our communities.”

Seven players from the champion side were named in the Sukuna Bowl squad.

“We will see when we meet the men in green during the Sukuna Bowl. We’ll give them a hard time.”
