Grammar extended its lead 13-8 after a successful penalty in the second spell but Cuvu managed to stay on its heels, also pulling back a penalty for an 11-13 score-line.

Tensions grew as the match headed into the last minutes forcing a player from both teams sent off for indiscipline.

Suva Grammar played to their advantage to earn a penalty in the 65th minute and Semisi Turaganivalu did enough to send the ball between the sticks.
