The Suva Women's Senior rugby side has defended their ANZ Marama Championship trophy after edging Namosi 31-29 in the final this afternoon.

Suva drew first blood with a converted try to lock Priscilla Siata for a 7-0 lead before Namosi came back and scored an unconverted try in the corner through left winger Josivini Neihamu to trail 7-5.

Suva extended their lead to 12-5 after number 8 Alisi Qalo scored an unconverted try before Namosi's right winger Filomena Niulele scored another unconverted try at the stroke of halftime to trail Suva 12-10 at the break.

Suva scored 3 more tries in the second half through Makereta Tunidau, Qalo, who scored her second try and Teresia Tinanivalu along with two conversions to lead 31-10.

Namosi came back and scored two tries through Cikavira Toabau and Loata Vakausausa with a conversion to trail 31-22.

Niulele scored her second try for Namosi with a successful conversion at the stroke of fulltime but was not enough as Suva claimed the win.
