Navosa’s Miriama Dau was a game-changer, consistently creating chances for her team.

By halftime, Nadroga held a narrow 12-10 lead.

Navosa’s Adi Mila scored the last try with an assist from super-sub Grace Ledua, putting her side ahead with 17 points.

However, Nadroga’s Laisani Kunatava made a powerful run to score under the post.

Although the conversion was missed, tying the game at 17-17, the rules of the competition favored Nadroga as they had scored the first try of the match.

The second semifinal was a one-sided affair, with Cakaudrove overpowering Kadavu in a 40-5 victory.

Despite Kadavu scoring first, last year’s U13 runners-up, Cakaudrove, responded with a strong comeback, scoring multiple tries and refusing to give their opponents any room to score.
