LDS College revenged their junior teams' loss by thrashing St Joseph's Secondary School 25-14. Results of the U17 boys and U19 girls finals were yet to be received when this edition went to press.
Meanwhile, Natabua High School represented the Western Division in U19 finals at the Yat Sen Hall yesterday. Coach Esava Buresova said it was a bonus after beating Yat Sen Secondary 32 - 22. 0Buresova said being the lone representative from the Western Division was an honour, especially when the competition was held in Lautoka, but had to be moved to Suva because of the weather.
"I have been coaching the Natabua team for three years. This is a milestone achievement for us to be playing in the last stage of the competition," Buresova said.
"We have really worked hard to be able to come and play in Suva."
