The Navua soccer team is beaming with confidence going into their second match against Lautoka who are one of the favorites to walk away with the Courts IDC trophy.

Both Lautoka and Navua won their first matches yesterday.

Navua upset defending champions Labasa 3-1 and coach Muhammed Shafeel said the boys can now believe in themselves as they will try and map out a game plan to beat Lautoka.

A win or a draw for Navua will give them a good chance of booking a place in the semifinal provided that Labasa loses to Tavua this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Lautoka will have the upper hand in this match as they beat Nadroga 2-1 yesterday and with some of its experienced players in the likes of Simione Tamanisau, Valerio Nawatu and Isikeli Jeke the Sugar City side will certainly be the team to beat.
