Lelean reset for Deans quarterfinals

Lelean Memorial School, the top-ranked and undefeated team in the 2026 Vodafone Deans Under-18 competition, is adopting a game-by-game approach as they prepare for the quarterfinals.

Despite being widely touted as the favorites to win the prestigious tournament, the Davuilevu-based team is determined not to let the external expectations influence their mindset. Their focus remains on executing their strategy and performing consistently in each match they play.

This disciplined approach is crucial as Lelean Memorial School, along with Ratu Kadavulevu School, prepares to carry the hopes of the Eastern Zone in the upcoming knockout stages. Both teams have demonstrated strong performances throughout the competition, positioning them as key contenders.

The Vodafone Deans competition is a highly anticipated event in Fijian youth rugby, showcasing emerging talent and fostering a strong sense of school spirit and competition.
