WESTERN schools have stamped their authority in the 2025 Vodafone Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby League finals, with all-Western showdowns confirmed in the U17 and U19 grades.

In the U19 grade, Ra High School Roosters shocked defending champions Naitasiri Warriors 24-20 in the first semi-final yesterday while Ba Pro Dragons edged RKS Eels 14-10 in a tense battle.

The Western wave continued in the U17s, with Sigatoka Valley Cowboys narrowly defeating Marist Storm 12-10, and Ba Pro U17 securing a 20-16 win over Nasinu Panthers.

In the Under-15 division, Marist Storm and MGM Dragons earned their spots in the final.

All finals will be played next Saturday at Prince Charles Park, Nadi.
