After scoring 28 tries in the home and away season, the Fijian crossed for his most important one of the year, breaking the deadlock and in the end Junee hearts.
The winger moved into first receiver off a scrum 20 metres before putting a big right foot step on Daniel Foley to score.
In his last game for the club before returning to Fiji, Sivo finished as the hero.
The 21-year-old was thrilled with the result.
“It was unbelievable to score the try,” Sivo said.
“I thank God for giving me strength and the opportunity to score the try.”
The flying Fijian returns home later this month but he leaves Gundagai on a premiership high.
He also believes he leaves the club as a more complete footballer.
“I’ve learnt a lot and experienced a lot playing with these guys, the likes of Mat Rose,” Sivo said. “It has been a good experience.”
