Napuka Secondary School is the lone team from the Northern Division now left to carry the hopes of trying to win a spot in the Tier 1 competition next year.

The Cakaudrove based school last Saturday defeated Natabua 17-15 in the Tier 2 U-17 final to book a spot in the promotion relegation where they will face John Wesley.

Coach Manu Safifi said since the other two northern teams, All Saints and Savusavu Secondary School, are out of the competition, the hope of a Tier 1 spot is now in the hands of his team.
