The Farebrother Sullivan trophy is again at risk for another year as the challenge ready to begin this weekend.

Defending champion Naitasiri will be putting in their best performance against the first challenger Nadi.

Nadroga will be coming in as the second challenger and it will be their Skipper Final loss that will boost their hunger for the trophy.

The depth of the competition will rise to another level when Suva takes the stage especially after the trophy slipped away from them in 2017.

Suva has been the most consistent team so far in any competition this year, having to defend the Skipper title with an all-win in its round-robin games up to the finals.

The venue for the first challenge is yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, the Bainimarama Shield holder will be the last challenger on the 20th of July.
