'Ikale Tahi versus Flying Fijians, a heart breaker [1]

Editor,

I had an opportunity to watch the rugby match between the 'Ikale Tahi and the Flying Fijians on the internet today. I was so excited when the boys had the lead 28-0 (four converted tries) in the fist 15 minutes. Another converted try and a successful penalty goal scored later gives any fan as well as the coaches and players the confidence that the game was in the bag. Perhaps?

However, that lead slowly evaporated and eventually disappeared. What a heart breaker for all of us, especially the boys who put in a great display of efforts on the pitch today. They deserved nothing less than a win.

After losing by a single point to the Manu Samoa last weekend, and gave away the match today . . . I can't help it but to think that this is a serious case of what we call in the kingdom . . . "fakamala'ia."

I think the current administration and coaches should make a serious effort to make it right with the former administrators, coaches, and players so the curse will end.

All your efforts will be in vain if you don't do the right thing first. Don't be proud . . . make it right!!

Respectfully;

'Aisea T. Tu'ikolovatu
