Championship Final [date tba in Mar 2005(!)]
Ba         -  Olympians

NB: after Ba took the FA to court over the award of the match on Nov 12,
    it was announced in January 2005 to have a championship decider played
    at a date in March 2005 (the court case had not yet been decided upon);
    however, it never took place and on Jan 13, 2006, the Fiji FA announced
    it had awarded the title to Ba because of the fact that the Olympians
    no longer exist (sic!).
