It was fireworks at Lawaqa Park this afternoon in the BSP Farebrother Sulliven Challange where title holders Nadroga only managed a 12-all draw against challengers Northland.

The draw meant Nadroga will retain the BSP Farebrother Sulliven title and will get ready for the next challengers, Suva.

Nadroga were taken to wire throughout the game with the Stallions conceding heaps of penalties.

Nadroga's first try came through Setefano Somoca in the 14th minute of the first half and Etonia Naba got the second for the stallions in the 27th minute.

Northland's 12 points came through penalty kicks from Josevata Bola who was on target this afternoon and could have sealed the win but his last penalty kick fell short.

Northland tried hard to find the winner till the last-minute but Nadroga managed to hold on to the 12-all draw.

Meanwhile, in the B Division semifinals today Ra beat Waya 16-11 and Macuata beat Malolo 35-8.
