THE Fiji women's hockey side received a major boost ahead of today's big clash against favourites Australia Country.

The national side thrashed a hapless Papua New Guinea side 12-0 at the National Hockey Centre in Laucala yesterday.

The win ensured the Shaun Corrie-coached side maintain their unbeaten run intact in the Oceania Pacific Cup/FIH World League Round One tournament.

The Fiji women's team started their campaign with a 17-1 win over Vanuatu on Sunday before upsetting New Zealand Maori 1-0 on Monday.

Australia Country remains Fiji's biggest hurdle with a game still in hand against Samoa tomorrow.
