Rishikul Sanatan College will not defend their Secondary School's soccer title this year in next month's Courts Homcentres IDC in Ba.

They won the title after 10 years at the National Stadium in Suva last year and had failed to qualify this year after going down 3-2 to M.G.M High School in the B.D Latchman Trophy match.

M.G.M High will now represent the southern division. Meanwhile D.A.V College Ba has qualified from the North West Zone and looks favorite to win the title this year while Tilak High will be represented from South West Zone and Labasa Sangam has qualified from the North.

The four Secondary schools will play on a round robin basis with the top two teams qualifying for the final on 12th October at Govind Park in Ba.
