All Marist Brothers High School grades have booked their place in the Vodafone Deans Southern Zone Secondary Schools finals this Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
This also means they have qualified for the national quarterfinals despite the finals results.
The MBHS Under 14, 15, 16 and U18 grades will face Suva Grammar School while the U17 and U19 will take on Suva Grammar School and Lomary Secondary School respectively.
Zone president Rusiate Wadali said MGM have been the underdogs this year qualifying for the finals in their debut year for the Deans competition.
“We are looking forward to a sell-out crowd on Saturday,” Wadali said.
“We are trying to put in our best teams together in the zone to have a strong competition; we have a secret in our pool set-up – I won’t reveal.”
The Under-18 grade will be a repeat of last year’s Deans final. They had met earlier in the competition with Grammar defeating the Kaunikuila boys 7-5.
“We are optimistic of our chances. We hope to have a good run and defend the trophy,” Wadali said.
The playoffs will take place at Buckhurst Park.
In the Raluve U18 final, Mahatma Gandhi will face Naitasiri Secondary School in the final.
