Top Kaji teams set for finals

FIREWORKS is expected in the Vodafone Kaji Rugby Festival today at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka as some rugby giants were toppled in the knockout stages by rural-based teams showing their calibre and courage that size doesn’t matter in the rugby field.

Tournament director Tiko Matawalu urges parents, relatives and friends to support the future rugby stars of Fiji.

“Predictions gone wrong, upsets created and an exciting final that is not to be missed and I seek all the support of the public to come to Lawaqa Park and cheer for their teams in the finals of the Vodafone Kaji rugby championship,” said Matawalu.

In the tier one competition of the under 12 grades, the two semi-finals finished on sudden deaths but the team that scored the first try proceeds to the final.

Suva Blues drew against Ra 7-all but Ra scored the first try booking a spot in the final. In the second semi-final Cakaudrove held Tailevu 7-all but the northerners scored first in the match and they will face Ra in the final tomorrow.

In the tier two competition, Naitasiri under-12 defeated Navosa 14-7 to qualify to the final today against Ba who thumped Wainibuka 19-0.

The under-13 tier one category witnessed Nadi beating their neighbours Lautoka 12-3, Kadavu defeated Ra 5-0, Suva Blues beat Tailevu 5-0 and Ovalau defeated Cakaudrove 5-0.
