The Army Servicewomen’s rugby team produced a stunning comeback to defeat Police 25–23 and claim the Vodafone Ratu Sukuna Bowl Women'S Rugby title at Subrail Park in Labasa.

Despite the scorching heat, both teams delivered a high-intensity and entertaining encounter.

Police started strongly, taking a 10–5 lead into halftime and maintaining control for most of the match. However, Army refused to give up and kept applying pressure in the closing stages.

Their persistence paid off in the dying minutes when they were awarded a crucial penalty right in front of the posts, which they calmly slotted to secure the victory.

Meanwhile, the Ratu Sukuna Bowl Rugby Challenge will kick off at 2pm.
