Courts IDC Defending Champions Rewa will be missing the services of Solomon's import George Lui in the remaining matches of the tournament who flew out of the country yesterday.

Rewa secretary, Mohammed Yakub said they could not hold back Lui as he is a nurse by profession and has a commitment towards his government.

Lui made a vast difference for the Rewa team as he provided quality balls to the strikers in the last three pool matches.

According to Yakub, Lui will be replaced by Kelepi Qaqa or Niumaia Tagi.

He confirmed that another Solomon's import James Naka is still training with the team.

Yakub added that the players like Issa Sunni and Misaele Draunibaka have recovered from minor injuries and they will be in the starting lineup against Labasa on Sunday.

He hopes weather conditions will improve by Saturday as their team plays fast pace soccer and face difficulties in heavy conditions.

Rewa has to beat Labasa in their last pool match at 6.30pm on Sunday at the TFL National Stadium to qualify for the semi finals on Sunday.
