The LDS Under 19 Soccer team has created history by Qualifying for the National Secondary Schools IDC tournament. What has come as a surprise to many is that this is the first time in more than a decade that LDS has fielded an under 19 soccer team.
In pool play they triumphed over their closes rivals, Nabua Secondary school, and Suva Muslim school. Having qualified for the Suva Zone Semi finals, they encountered the might of Defending Zone champions Gospel High school. They defeated Gospel in the semis and went on to beat Nabua in the Suva Zone finals, placing them as the number one seed from Suva.
Shalveen Lal, one of the coaches stated in an interview that the strength he finds in this team is that they never quit. Despite being down during a few games, they would always come back to close the game triumphant. The school acknowledges this great Under 19 soccer team and the coaches, Rajneel Prasad, Shalveen Lal, and Viliame Levaci, who's guidance has brought about this Cinderella story. The IDC draws will be declared next week while the tournament will kick off in Nausori on the first week of Term 2 holidays.
