COMMENTS

Tavua coach Nazeel Ali said: “A special thanks goes to our striker, Temesi Tuwai, who is playing after five years and he did extremely well.

“We were in it from the beginning and the boys stuck to the game plan that we had and we were able to neutralise the attack of Rewa.”

He said the team kindly requested major sponsors to come forward and support as they did not have any major sponsor at the moment.

Rewa head coach, Nigel Khan, said: “The boys played according to their their own structure and didn’t follow the game plan.

He said the team still had a lot of work to do to do better.
