Bua secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Tavua in the first leg of the Senior League final playoff held at Subrail Park in Labasa. This win provides Bua with an edge, as they now only require a draw in the upcoming second leg to secure their place in the Premier Division for the next season. Conversely, Tavua must win by more than one goal to win the Senior League and restore their position in the top tier by 2025.
