However, Bau edged Rewa in the bronze medal count.

Bau secured 12 bronze while Rewa claimed eight.

Tovata finished in fourth place with 7 gold.

With the departure of some key athletes, QVS is left to look for new talent that could potentially represent them in the Zone and Coca Cola Games.

QVS finished second in the 2019 Tailevu Zone with four gold compared to 42 won by champions Ratu Kadavulevu School.

School Principle Ratu Joseva Gavidi says the goal this year is to improve from where they left off in 2019.

A number of elite athletes have completed their year 13 and have left with hopes now lying on the new athletes.
