Nasinu Secondary School has qualified for the Vodafone Deans Trophy final after their Under-18 team earned their spot with a hard-fought 33-20 victory over Cuvu College.

Nasinu started strong, building a solid lead with disciplined defense and effective attacks.

Cuvu College, however, mounted a fierce comeback in the second half, closing the gap and putting pressure on Nasinu.

Despite Cuvu’s late surge, Nasinu held their ground and secured the win.

Nasinu last reached Dean’s final in 2012.

Now, with the competition at the Under-18 level, the team is just one game away from bringing the Deans Trophy back to their school after more than two decades.

The Nasinu tries were scored by Rafaele Dagaga, Viliame Matailevu, and Epeli Niubalavu while Timoci Kilihama, Ratu Irami Bokoi and skipper Josaia Ralulu dotted for the Cuvu side.
