However, they have managed to continue their winning streak in the domestic league as well.
In the midweek, Ifira Black Bird faced Penama FC and secured a comfortable 3-0 win. Then, on Saturday, they faced North Efate United and managed to win by a narrow margin of 1-0. These two wins have helped Ifira Black Bird to regain the top spot in the Port Vila Premier League table.
