The Navua soccer team knows very well that their chances of making the semifinals of the Vodafone Fiji FACT are slim but they are not leaving any stones unturned for their last pool game against Fortech Rewa.

Navua is yet to register a point in the tournament and needs to beat Fortech Rewa by 3 clear goals and hope that Lautoka beat Nadi to make it to the semis.

The side will miss the services of midfielder Jesoni Takala as he is carrying two yellow cards but will be boosted with the return of Apisai Smith and Netani Doli who missed the game against Nadi due to suspension.

Navua coach Saiyad Ali said they know that they can beat Fortec Rewa by the required margin and the return of the two senior players will surely help the team in doing that.


The Navua-Fortec Rewa match kicks off at 3.30pm this Friday at Prince Charles Park. In other matches Labasa plays Nadroga at 1.30pm, Suva takes on Ba at 5.30pm while Lautoka plays Nadi at 7.30pm.
