Gospel High School is making history this week as they prepare to compete in the Vodafone Super Deans rugby final, a first-ever for the Dhanji Street based school.
Speaking to fijivillage Sports, proud old scholar, Viliame Leqa shared the excitement surrounding the occasion.
Leqa says this is a completely new platform for them, and they have never reached this stage before.
He says to be in the final this week is a huge step for the school, the parents, and the entire Gospel High School alumni community.
A former TV news presenter, Leqa emphasized that the Gospel fraternity is united and working toward a long-term vision of securing the 2027 Super Deans title.
He acknowledged that Gospel will be entering the final as underdogs — but sees it as an opportunity as everyone loves a good underdog story.
Based in Nadi, Leqa is calling on all old scholars, parents, and students to rally behind the team and show their support by wearing pink this week.
