Yasawa entered the decider full of confidence following its commanding 90-17 semi-final victory over the Northern Bulls and carried that momentum into the championship match.

The side’s attacking flair and physicality proved too much for Navosa as Yasawa ran away with the contest to seal a convincing 28-point victory and add the Ranadi Cup title to an outstanding season.
