It was the best of preparation for the Fijiana 7s team participating as Mt. Masada at the 48th Fiji Bitter 7s tournament.

The tournament was a build up for Hong Kong 7s, the side beat Army 24-nil in the final at Suva’s HFC Bank Stadium.

Younis Bese, who has been named in the 15-member squad for Hong Kong, said it was a good three days for her team.

“We had worked on a few combinations which we got to execute in this tournament so really thankful to be able to play against the top teams in the country,” Bese said.

She added the team would be looking to use the preparations to the best of their abilities so that they could improve on their performance in Hong Kong.

“We gained a lot from our games at the Marist 7s and we will be working on that before the next tournament in the series.”

Bese’s teammate Alowesi Nakosi was named the Player of the Tournament and received $500 with a return ticket to any destination in Australia or New Zealand.

The team received $4000 for the win while Army walked away $1500 richer.
