The win sees Suva maintain their fifth spot with 25 points , only one behind Skipper Tuna Southern Forest Navua.

In Suva Eveready Vinz Works Ltd Tailevu Naitsairi smashed Royal Tea Tailevu North 8-0. The toast for the southerners was Hoteshwar Padarath who claimed a hat trick but later was sent off for his second caution along with Tailevu North’s Ravnil Prasad.
