Defending champions Northpole FC from Labasa have secured their place in the final of the Dayal’s Sawmillers National Club Championship, where they will face Ba’s 4R FC later today. Northpole earned this opportunity with a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Verata FC, the combined team from Rewa, in their final pool match played yesterday.
The match highlighted Northpole’s seasoned performance as they navigated several challenges posed by their opponents. The critical goals for Northpole were scored by Ilisoni Lolaivalu and Ratu Apenisa Anare, enabling the team to maintain their title defense and proceed to the championship final.
In a parallel match earlier that day, Ba’s 4R FC secured a narrow 2–1 win against Suva’s Combine FC.
