BA will not utilise their Fiji under-20 reps in the senior team during the top of the table Fiji Sun/GP Batteries National Football League clash against Nadi at Prince Charles Park on Saturday.

The Fiji U20 reps will be assigned to the Ba under-23 team in the NFL Youth League.

Both the Ba senior and U23 sides remain unbeaten this season with maximum points.

Ba senior team manager Arvind Singh said they were anticipating an exciting fixture against the host.

He said many fans from Ba would be travelling down to Nadi.

"The double header format adopted by the Fiji Football Association this year has certainly regenerated the interest back in the sport," Singh said,

"Our only concern right now is the state of Govind Park. We would be happy to see the facility being fixed as quickly as possible. "Since Ba is now on the top we can expect to draw more crowd on our home soil. This will be beneficial to the all the other districts as more money will be generated and be equally distributed."

Ba defender Remueru Takiate will miss the fixture through injury while Osea Vakatalesau is suspended.
