We are ready for best in Oceania, Kapi Natto says

 PAPUA New Guinea National Soccer League champions Hekari United are poised for another Oceania Champions League campaign.
Hekari team manageress Vonnie Kapi Natto, pictured, said the team had been training well for the past few months and the build-up to the Oceania play-offs was good.
Kapi Natto is confident Hekari’s overseas contingent will blend in well with local players.
“It will be a big homework assignment for Hekari coach Jerry Allen but we are going there to play and treat all the matches in our group as finals,” Kapi Natto said.
“We are not underestimating anyone but have to work hard to beat them.
“So far so good. The boys are in good shape as we focus on our first assignment next month.”  Fijian wonder boy, Tuimasi Manuca has returned to bolster Hekari’s 2014 campaign.
No stranger to the Champions League or Hekari, Manuca was part of Hekari’s 2010 campaign to the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
The Ba striker teamed up with compatriot Taniela Waqa and Pita Bolatoga with another overseas talent, Brian Kaltak.
“We know that we will play the home team Ba, which has been the champion team of Fiji for many years so we cannot really underestimate them.
“We will have to work hard during the challenge to beat them on their home turf,” Kapi Natto said.
Hekari will be competing in Pool C against Vanuatu’s Tafea, MS Magenta of New Caledonia and Fiji’s Ba. Their first match is scheduled for April 7 against Tafea.
Other overseas players in the team are Nicholas Muri, Tutizama Tanito from the Solomon Islands and Jean Kaltack from Vanuatu.
Hekari has retained all its players from last year, including David Muta, Raymond Gunemba, Nigel Dabinyaba, Daniel Joe, Koriak Upaiga, Joachim Waroi, Kema Jack and Leslie Kalai.
Kapi Natto is confident the side will be in a good position to challenge for a semi-final spot.
