The Vodafone Fiji Bati finished in 3rd spot at the Rugby League Pacific Cup after beating Tonga 26-16 yesterday.

Newcastle wing Akuila Uate was the hero of the Bati side scoring two tries in the second half after they lead 10-4 at halftime.

Captain Wes Naiqama said they had to win the tough encounter after a disappointed outing against the Cook Island last week.
