The principals of Avele and St. Joseph's Colleges met last Friday in an effort to find a solution.

Last Thursday fighting broke out after a school rugby match at the Saint Joseph's grounds at Alafua.

None of the current students from either colleges were involved in Thursday's brawl.

This is not the first time that Avele and St Joseph's Colleges have been involved in fights in public places.

Several years ago, the Government stepped in and stopped all inter-school sporting competitions when the fighting got worse.

A female student was seriously burnt when a kerosene bomb was thrown at the crowd during the fight at a public bus station.

The principals of both colleges today expressed sadness over Thursday's incident and have vowed to work together in ending what they called "this longstanding sickness".
