The squad is committed to playing the only way they know—direct, full of intent, and unafraid to contest every ball.
“It’s early days but the enthusiasm within the squad is tremendous, and things are moving in the right direction. There is a long road ahead, but if we stay on this course, the results will follow.”
Pinillaarea’s leader weighs in on the schedule, noting that Sundays feel just like any other match. The focus remains on earning three points, with a clear emphasis on competing and prioritizing what is at stake rather than looking too far ahead.
