Jetsetters Defeats Hillmen
The Digicel Cup champions Nadi maintained their favourites tag after beating holders Naitasiri by 20 points to 9 in today's challenge at the National Stadium.
Nadi came with a mission and accomplished it, although they played with only 14 players in most of the match, after their prop Ravuama Samo was shown the red card in the first half by referee James Bolabiu.
The Iliesa Tanivula coached side led 10-6 at halftime and didn't give up with even 14 men, as they proved more stronger and better. Nadi scored a converted try and a penalty in the first spell while Naitasiri kicked two penalties.
In the second half, Naitasiri could have taken the advantage of Nadi's 14 men, but failed to do so as they only managed a penalty while Nadi scored another converted try and kicked a penalty to win the Farebrother Sullivan Cup.
The jetsetters are now the holders of the Digicel Cup and the Farebrother Sullivan Cup. They will now face Suva next week in the final defense of the Farebrother Sullivan Cup at Nadi's Prince Charles Park.
