The Nadroga football side has become the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the senior division of the Courts Inter District Championships underway in Lautoka.
The Stallions thumped Rakiraki, 5-2, and in doing so showed they will be a tough team to bring down.
Coach Kaminieli Tuilawaki says the team’s hard work has finally paid off.
“ I’m really proud of the boys. They really played a good game and it has been paid off and Rakiraki provided a tough competition and hats off to them.”
