NEIGHBOURS Nadi and Nadroga fought out a 2-all draw in the Digicel Premier League match at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka yesterday.

Lanky striker Osea Vakatalesau scored the opener for hosts in the 22nd minute.

Rahul Krishna equalised for the Jetsetters before half time.

Vakatalesau scored his second goal in the 49th minute before Napolioni Qasevakatini drew level three minutes later.

Nadroga coach Ramesh Sharma was happy with the result also maintaining their unbeaten run from last season.

Sharma said they need a lot of improvement in their defensive department as they gave away the goal advantage on both occasions.

Nadi coach Shalen Lal said it was tough playing Nadroga on their own turf and in front of a big home support.

He said they would improve their attack and work on their finishing touches.
