The Babasiga Lions roared the loudest in the first 45 minutes as they dominated play.
Led by senior players Ilisoni Logaivau, Lekima Gonerau and Taniela Waqa, the Babasiga Lions played an entertaining game.

Nasinu regrouped and lifted the momentum in the second half enabling Nasoni Mereke to score.
But Labasa were too hot to handle scoring two more goals to Wasasala and Pita Levaci.
