The Gospel High School under 15 rugby team after their win against RKS in the quarter-final clash

Excitement has been growing over the past few days at Gospel High School, as their Under-15 side will be competing in the Vodafone Deans Trophy semi-finals for the first time in their history this weekend.

The Epineri Koroiveibau coached side defeated Ratu Kadavulevu School 12-7 in the quarter-finals.

School principal Eliesa Parker says their former students, parents and teachers at the school has been proud of the team for their achievement.

“The mood is really happy as I can see, as this is a big achievement for the school. This achievement is also for the whole school, and the students are proud as this is the first time for them to reach the semi-finals.”

Parker says the team has also been receiving much praise from supporters and former students throughout the week, and he has been motivating the boys ahead of the semi-finals this weekend.

The side will be playing Marist Brothers High School in the first semi, while Suva Grammar School faces Queen Victoria School.

The semi-finals will be held at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva on Saturday.
