The same side that won the Weetbix Raluve Championship for the Under-18 grade in 2022, will be featuring again in this weekend’s semi-finals at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

According to Natabua High School head coach Inoke Vucago, the side that won the Under-18 grade two years ago, were made up of year-nine and year-10 students who are now senior players in the current team.

Vucago says since 2022, the side has been fielding the same team to the tournament every year.

He says since most of the players are in their final year of high school, they are looking to aiming to leave behind a legacy.

“In 2022, when we won it, most of the girls were just in year nine, year 10 and they were playing in the under-18. So now they are the senior girls, they have gone through the system.”

The two semi-finals for the Under-18 grade will see Natabua take on Niusawa Methodist High School while ACS will be going up against Bucalevu Secondary School.
