So while I await that report, after I receive the report then I’ll make a ruling on that statement.”

Bucalevu Secondary School was disqualified after fielding a player that was registered for their under-16 team to play for their under-17 team in the playoff match against Nabua Secondary last Saturday.

This was against FSSRU section 10 of the Terms of Participation.

The Vodafone Deans quarterfinals and the Raluve trophy quarterfinals are set to be played at the HFC Bank Stadium Suva from the 9th to the 10th of this month.
