“The win was for the people of Nakuruvarua and for Iliesa Delana.”

Those were the sentiments from Nadroga Captain Etonia Naba after receiving the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy from Fiji’s lone paralympic gold medalist Iliesa Delana yesterday.

Delana was the Chief Guest of the match and said it was always his dream to become a professional rugby player as he encourages upcoming players to work hard in achieving their goals.

Meanwhile, Nadroga has sent out a warning to all teams that will be challenging the Farebrother Sullivan trophy as they won’t be a walk over by grinding out an impressive victory over Northland 32-5 to retain the trophy.

Nadroga will take on Nadi in the third challenge next Saturday at Lawaqa Park.
