Grammar gets timely boost

The Suva Grammar U19 rugby team will get a timely boost this Saturday in the 3rd playoff spot in the Southern Zone for the Deans quarterfinal spot with the return of key players who missed last week's 6-nil loss to Nasinu Secondary School.

National U20 reps Ilaitia Leka, Nikola Matawalu, Sisa Veikauyaki, Pauliasi Matawalu, Balei Navurai and Esala Delana will strengthen the team against Marist.

These 6 players have been part of the Grammar team from last year and took time out last week to attend the funeral of former Principal Ilikimi Kunagogo's wife.

The Lions camp will need these players if they want to reach the quarterfinal of the Deans trophy knowing that the winner of the 3rd playoff in the Southern Zone will take on either Lelean Memorial School or QVS.

The finals of the respective Zones from the U-15 to the U-19 grades will take place this Saturday.
