The Navua soccer team did a favour to Ba by putting them closer to qualify for the O-League playoffs from Fiji.

The southern side upset Lautoka 3-2 in the New World National Soccer League competition over the weekend. The loss means Lautoka now stands a slim chance of providing any serious challenge to Ba.

The Men in Black extended their lead to 18 points after beating Tavua 2-0 yesterday and just needs two more wins from three games to secure a spot in the O-League playoffs.
