“It’s good man. We have finally won a game,” he said.
“But there are number of areas we need to work on if we want to continue winning.
“It was all a team effort and I am happy with the performance of the boys.”
Kinoya’s Nemani Tulele scored the first try converted by Richard Fiu.
In the second half, Wilson Komai kicked a drop goal to extend the teams lead before Fiu kicked a penalty.
“The win didn’t came easy as we had lost few players through injury,”
