It will be a Labasa and Ba final in the Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants soccer tournament at Churchill Park this afternoon.
The Men in Black bounced back strongly from their pool match loss to Labasa to defeat Lautoka 2-0 in the second semifinal last night.
Tuimasi Manuca opened the scoring in the 32nd minute after a lapse of concentration in the Lautoka's defence and a blunder by the goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau.
The Men in Black came out firing after the breather and Manuca scored his second goal to make it 2-0.
Ba's goal scorer dedicated the semifinal win to his son Semesa Manuca.
In the first semifinal Labasa defeated Nadi 1-0 through a Apisalome Turuva header.
Labasa has won all their games in the tournament, with the only points lost through a complaint by Rewa.
The Premier final between Nasinu and Taveuni will take place at 11 this morning, and is followed by the 3rd and 4th place Super Premier playoff between Nadi and Lautoka at 12:30pm.
The Labasa and Ba final will kickoff at 3pm.
