Nadroga and Suva still have chances to challenge the Farebrother Sullivan trophy again.

Even though the two teams have had their chances in the past few weeks but the new Skipper Cup competition format gives them another opportunity to have a shot at the title.

Lautoka will challenge Namosi next week and if they win, Suva will be the next challenger because the Maroons will host the capital city side a week after.

However, if Namosi retains the trophy next weekend, then Nadroga is the next challenger as Namosi will be playing away games in three weekends starting with Suva, Nadi, and Tailevu.

They will host Nadroga on the 19th of next month.

Namosi’s last Skipper Cup home game this year is against Suva and if they still have the Farebrother, then Suva will be the last challenger.

There’s a possibility other teams apart from Nadroga and Suva challenging the Farebrother trophy twice.

There are two rounds of Skipper Cup on a home and away basis. Each team will complete their first round of seven games on the 5th of September.

The second round of seven matches will start on the 12th of September.

Meanwhile, Tailevu will host Suva at Ratu Cakobau Park in the Skipper Cup on Saturday while Nadroga faces Naitasiri at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka at 3pm.
