Josaia Salauca scored a double to ensure the 2022 Courts Inter-District Championship Senior Division title goes to the North as Bua beat Lami 2-1 in the final at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva yesterday.
Salauca scored a goal on either side of halftime to secure the win.
He got his first goal in the 25th minute as Bua led 1-0 at the break.
The Divendra Prasad-coached side doubled its lead midway through the second spell to secure the win. Darmesh Kumar pulled one back for Lami, but it was a little too late.
Prasad said the win was for the whole of the Northern Division.
“This win is not for Bua, but for the whole of Vanua Levu. I have been receiving calls from the whole of the Northern Division and that goes to show the support we have back home,” Kumar said.
Bua received $3500 for the win while Lami walked away $1500 richer.
