Navatu Secondary U19 team creates history but the job is not over

The Navatu Secondary School Under-19 rugby team has created history as the first northern team to book a place in the Vodafone Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Union Super Deans final, but the job is not yet over.

Speaking to the players after their historic win over Ratu Kadavulevu School last weekend, head coach Alipate Ravulo says they had achieved what they had set out to do and should now be ready for the next challenge.

He says they should always stay grounded and start from zero again, rather than putting themselves on a pedestal.

Ravulo adds that nothing has changed in terms of the goal they want to achieve.

He also acknowledged the hard work and determination shown by the players, as well as the support from their parents and the Vanua.

A new champion will be crowned in the Under-19 grade after defending champions Nasinu Secondary School fell to Ratu Navula College 30-25 in the quarter-final.

Navatu Secondary School will face Lelean Memorial School at 2.20pm at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In the other Deans finals, Ratu Navula College will take on QVS at 8am in the Under-14 grade, followed by RKS facing Marist Brothers High School in the Under-15 grade at 9.05am.

Suva Grammar School will meet RKS at 12.50pm in the Under-17 grade, while Grammar will face Lelean at 6.10pm in the Under-18 grade.

In the Weet-Bix Raluve finals, Nasinu Secondary School will play Saint Vincent College at 10.25am, while Lomary Secondary School will meet MGM High School at 5.05pm.

All games will be played at the HFC Bank Stadium.
