NADI based Delta successfully defended the Bougainville cup against LFC of Suva 16-6 at Prince Charles Park this afternoon.

The host led 3-0 at the break before scoring two tries in the second spell to keep their hopes alive.

Tough defence was the key factor that led to Delta’s win preventing the visitors to cross the try line.

LFC’s points were scored through two penalties as they have no answer to stop the rampaging Delta’s outfit.

Fiji Airways Drua flanker Peni Raidre led by example for the LFC but his contribution failed to help his team.

Nadi reps Jiuta Takubu, Vilive Aria and former national 7s rep Iliavi Satala played a huge role for to help Delta won.
