A tough encounter between two proud vanua unfolded in the Viti Levu elimination round as both teams battled for a place in the Skipper Cup competition.
The match brought together two former holders of the prestigious Farebrother Sullivan Trophy, teams that have previously made their mark as giant slayers in Fiji rugby.
Played at Thompson Park, the contest lived up to expectations, with both sides showing determination and pride in their jerseys. However, it was Ovalau who proved they meant business and showed their hunger for victory, overcoming the hosts Namosi 26–15.
The impressive win keeps Ovalau's Skipper Cup dream alive and sends a strong message to the remaining teams in the competition.
