The BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy will stay in Nadroga for the 2010 season after the home side had a 15-all draw with Nadi yesterday.
The holders had to play a catch up game after Nadi led 15-nil at halftime.
Captain Tiko Matawalu was a happy man yesterday knowing they have now achieved what their coaching staff had map out for the year.
Matawalu said that fatigue was creeping slowly into the team but they had to belief in themselves to draw with Nadi.
Also yesterday, Nadroga dedicated the win to former national 15's rugby hooker Isaia Rasila who was also assisting the side in their preparations.
Rasila played with the current Nadroga coaching staff of Esala Nauga, Jonetani Waqa, Kini Malai and Ifereimi Tawake in the side that kept the Farebrother for a whole season in 1997.
Yesterday, the new generation of Nadroga players repeated that performance after 13 years.
