Suva is through to the Skipper Cup final after defeating Namosi 35-18 at the ANZ Stadium.

The Capital city side showed their strength up front with their forwards dominating through the match and winning most of the set pieces.

National 7s half back Emosi Mulevoro was outstanding as he scored a total of 13 points with two tries and a successful penalty.

Mulevoro was sound in attack and combined well with Flying Fijians halfback Serupepeli Vularika who set up some brilliant piece of play and tries.

Other tries for Suva were scored by winger Levani Kurimudu and replacement midfielder Mosese Baravilala.

Meanwhile Namosi started off well scoring the first try in the second minute with a well worked try from winger Timoci Sinate while Watisoni Sevutia scored their second fiver pointer.

Former national sevens playmaker Ilai Tinai kicked two penalties and a conversion.

Suva will now await the winner of Nadroga and Naitasiri who will be playing in the second semifinal at 3pm today at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka.
