Nadi have been crowned as the 2025 Skipper U20 champions after mounting a huge comeback in the second half to pip Naitasiri 29-28.

Nadi started strong, claiming a penalty and a try to lead 8-0 with just 10 minutes into the first half.

Naitasiri responded with a converted try to Maleli Naluvu to close the gap to 8-7.

Naitasiri managed to score another two tries to lead 21-8 at halftime.

Nadi rallied in the second half, scoring another two tries to put them ahead at 22-21.

JD Keneath scored again for Nadi to extend their lead to 29-21 but a few minutes later, Naitasiri responded with a try to Joshua Enosi.

Naitasiri kept the pressure on Nadi but Nadi's defence stood tall at the end.

Meanwhile, Namosi beat Suva 34-24 to win the Subrails Marama Cup and Naitasiri will take on Malolo in the Skipper Cup final at 3pm.
