POLICE Blues have advanced to the 43rd Fiji Bitter Marist 7s cup final after defeating Ratu Filise 20-12 in a nailbiting cup semi-final.

Police led at the break 15-0 after three first-half tries from Livai Ikanikoda, Ratu Meli Kurisaru and Filipe Sauturaga.

A late attack in the second half engineered by Amenoni Nasilasila saw him cross the sticks for a try which he converted, as well as set up Pio Batibasaqa in the corner.

Police Blues put the final nail in the coffin with the last minute try from Inia Rokomatu.

Police Blues will meet Wardens Gold in the Marist 7s tournament cup final.
