Nasinu Secondary School Panthers have edged the Ratu Kadavulevu School Eels 14-8 in their Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby League Vodafone Trophy Under-15 semifinal.

The Panthers led 6-4 at the break at Churchill Park in Lautoka and were out to ensure they book their place in the final.

RKS, however, hit back midway in the first half scoring a try to take the lead.

But Nasinu was too hot to handle as they scored a crucial try with only a few minutes remaining.

Meanwhile, in the first semifinal, Ba Provincial Dragons thrashed Tavua District Rabbitohs 28-8.

The finals of the secondary schools rugby league will be held in Suva next weekend.
