Navua 2-2 Nadi
3: Thomas Dunn (Navua)- Keep an eye on him. This classy Navua youngster is a very capable player and is now making his mark in the DPL.

2: Napolioni Qasevakatini (Nadi)- The veteran striker leads his team by example and is always there when most needed.

Suva 0-1 Labasa
3: Akeimi Ralulu (Labasa)- Ralulu is the country’s best centreback.

He is tough in defence, always dominating the aerial battles and has a wicked left footer that scored their lone goal.

2: Ashnil Raju (Labasa)- Lots of speed and easily beats the Suva defence, time and again, with his dribbling skills

1: Merrill Nand (Suva)- Came as a substitute and almost scored Suva’s equaliser.

He gave the Labasa defenders a few anxious moments. Nand needs to be given more game time.
