Rewa were out to maintain their recent success over Ba and the home side dominated the first spell but failed to captailse. The delta tigers also welcomed their former star
Usaia Tadu who is back with Rewa after playing a few seasons for Navua.
Ba put on a strong performance in the second spell to score twice. Petero Dauniseka found the back of the net in the 72nd minute following a series of attack in the Rewa half. Dauniseka fired a low shot towards the left hand side of the net, Rewa goalie Alfraaz Sahib mistimed his dive.
Rewa quickly regrouped in an attempt to find the equaliser and Rewa coach/player Marika Rodu probably had the best chance to pull one back but he slipped near the Ba box just as he was about to take a shot.
Roneel Kumar put the final nail in the coffin as he scored in extra time to help Ba secure three crucial points in the 2011 National Football League.
The Ba side now travels to New Zealand on Monday to participate in the 2011 Radio Apna Fiji Cup. Nadi, Suva, Lautoka will be the other local sides in the ten team competition.
Elsewhere Nivea Savusavu did not get a dream start in their first Super Premier division after being promoted at the back end of last season. A 10th minute first half header from a corner kick by Taniela Waqa guided the Puma Labasa side to a 1-0 victory at Ganilau Park.
Royal Tea Nadi and Skipper Tuna Tavua played to a 1-1 draw at Garvey Park. Nadi lead 1-0 at the break following a goal from Viliame Toma. Tavua got their acts right in the second half, Savenaca Nasara equalised on the 48th minute.
The Fiji Sun/Weet-Bix National Football League continues on Sunday. Sunquick Sigatoka Motor Spares Nadroga battles Weet-Bix Shop N Save Lautoka at Lawaqa Park. Bic Power Electric Suva host Kit Kat Southern Forest Navua at TFL National Stadium in Suva. Both matches start 3pm.
