The Junior Kumuls stopped Saroa Raiders 4-0 and K Gouna beat Vabulava Warriors 12-4. The other matches between Gomore Eagles-SK Broncos and KGirabu Panthers-Bore Tigers will be played at a later date.

In round four this weekend, Bi­ga Brothers take on Tubutola Eels, Girabu Panthers play K Gouna, Saroa Keina Broncos face Vabulava Warriors and the thriller of the day will be Bore Tigers against Junior Kumuls. 

In other matches Hula Vula’a play Imuty Cowboys, Saroa Raiders battle Roosters and Gomore Eagles face Kwikila Varovarona.
