Defending champions of the Vodafone Super Deans Under 18 competition, Marist Brothers High School will take on Natabua High School in the semi final while Suva Grammar School will take on QVS in the other semi next Saturday.

Marist beat Ratu Kadavulevu School 23-18 in the last under 18 quarter final this afternoon at the HFC Bank Stadium. Both teams were locked 8-all at halftime.
