The Namosi rugby side is the new holder of the Farebrother Trophy after defeating Nadroga 15-8 at Lawaqa Park this afternoon.

Namosi led 10-3 at half-time.

Both teams scored a try each in the second spell. Nadroga tried hard to score in the dying stages and tie the score but resilient defense from Namosi saw them hold in the last few minutes.

Namosi will now host Naitasiri in the third challenge next week.
