Both sides after four matches are locked on top with 12 points. Labasa on Friday beat Skippy U-20 2-1 at Subrail Park while Lautoka edged Navua 1-0 thanks to a Sanni Issa second half goal in the feature match of week five which was held at the TFL National Stadium in Suva on Sunday. #Lautoka coach Gurjit Singh says they were happy to return home with three crucial points.#“It is always tough playing against Navua but I’m happy for the three points. First half we took a defensive approach and second half opened up play and focused on our attack,” he said.#“In the first half we just had one attempt at goal and in the second half we scored one from the many opportunities we had,” Singh said. #Elsewhere the Skippy U-20 side ended their National League campaign on a high note with a 3-1 victory over Nivea Savusavu at Ganilau Park in Savusavu. #Christopher Kumar scored a brace of goals while Abbu Zahid also got on the score sheet. Team official Iosefo Vosaboto says the U-20 side will now focus on the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) U-20 playoffs and depart the country for New Zealand later this month.#“We are very pleased to end our long campaign on a high note with a victory over Savusavu. The playoffs are close and we will be utilising our time as we wrap up our preparations,” he said.#The National U-23 squad will replace the U-20 side in the National League.#Also on Sunday, Eveready Rewa claimed their first victory of the season as Epeli Saukuru calimed a hattrick for a 3-1 win over Sunquick Sigatoka Motor Spares Nadroga at Lawaqa Park. #Bic Power Electric Suva bounched back from their loss to Labasa to edge winless Angel Mackerel Tavua 2-1 at Garvey Park. #Sunday March 13, 2011# Full Time: Weet-Bix Shop N Save Lautoka 1 Skipper Tuna Navua 0#Lautoka Goal: Sanni Issa 62”#Lautoka Caution: Shameel Rao 90’#Navua Caution: Lorima Dau 32’: Pranil Kumar 67’#3pm TFL National Stadium, Suva# #Full Time: Skippy U-20 3 Nivea Savusavu 1#Savusavu Goal: Waisale Rasoki 11”#Savusavu Caution: Jonasa Bulinayau 13’; Kaliova Tukania 25’; Mosese Gadai 64’: Roderick Kumar 78’; Waisale Rasoki 85’#U-20 Goal: Christopher Kumar 17”, 35”; Abbu Zahid 91”#U-20 Caution: Krishneel Krishna 69’#3pm Ganilau Park, Savusavu# #Full Time: Eveready Rewa 3 Sunquick Sigatoka Motor Spares Nadroga 1#Nadroga Goal: Krishneel Dutt 84” #Nadroga Caution: Philip H 53’; Pascha Wojem 75’: Krishneel Dutt 85’ #Rewa Goal: Epeli Saukuru 27”, 43”, 86” #Rewa Caution: Simione Tamanisau 21’: Epeli Saukuru 37’#3pm Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka# #Full Time: Bic Power Electric Suva 2 Angel Mackerel Tavua 1#Tavua Goal: Jale Vota 43”#Tavua Caution: Andre Makutu 90+#Tavua Sent Off: Apete Ratu 64’ #Suva Goals: Luke Ha-atera 25”: Nitan Kumar 39”#Suva Caution: Eric Nigel Chand 14’: Rizwan Ali 82’; Malakai Tavuoga 83’: Kausik Kumar 90’: Asish Chand 90+ # #
