The draws for the Vodafone Deans Trophy Under-18 national quarterfinals, scheduled for this Saturday, have been confirmed without any changes. Competition director Biu Colati, speaking to SUNsports, stated that while the current schedule is final, any potential changes will be communicated.
The U18 quarterfinals will showcase the top eight schools competing for four spots in the semifinals. Colati remarked that the weather poses a significant concern, noting that Suva has experienced several days of rain. A meeting was set for yesterday afternoon to address ground conditions and other related issues.
Regarding the controversial video involving the Bucalevu Secondary School Under-16 team that has circulated on social media, Colati refrained from commenting until the situation is resolved.
