Sigatoka Methodist College showed sheer determination and courage to outclass Naitasiri Secondary School 22-5 in the Weet-Bix Raluve Competition U16 final to defend their title.
Naitasiri Secondary scored the first try for an early 5-0 lead before Sigatoka Methodist replied with two quick tries to snatch the lead.
Sigatoka Methodist was leading 10-5 at half time.
The defending champion scored two more tries in the second spell to seal the win for the Westerners.
Coach Timoci Momolevu says it is not easy to defend titles and they are glad that they have done the hard task today.
He says their game plan was to just spread the ball out wide and play open rugby.

Laite Havulu of Sigatoka Methodist was named the best player of the match.
