Rewa were edged out 0-1 by Lautoka in their opening match last Sunday at Churchill Park during the first round of matches. #They cannot afford another loss or drop points at this stage with sides like Lautoka, Nadi, Savusavu and Suva all gunning for a place in the semifinal from pool two.#Lautoka on the other looks a strong contender after the opening victory. It was their lethal striker Valerio Nawatu whose 27th minute goal proved to be the difference. #Lautoka face Savusavu in the opening match on Thursday and another three points could boost their campaign for the remainder of the Vodafone Fiji FACT. #Jone Salauneune fired home on all important goal as Ba equalised for a 1-1 draw against Navua. Vineet Chand shocked Ba when he scored a goal for Navua in the first half. #In another crucial match Suva and Nadi also played to a 1-1 draw. Former national futsal rep Ratu Josevata Dugucagi gave Nadi a lead early on following a blunder from the Suva defence but the Gurjit Singh coached side responded and they were back on level terms ten minutes later through Joseph Mishra. #Nadroga registered the first win of the Vodafone Fiji FACT with a close 1-0 win over Tavua. Both sides look equal in strength but it was former national under -23 rep Archie #Watkins who nailed the winner in the second half. #Tavua had numerous opportunities in the match but were unlucky#2012 Vodafone Fiji FACT#First Round May 6, 2012 # #Full Time: Nadroga 1 Tavua 0#Nadroga Goal: Archie Watkins 32’#Nadroga Caution: Setareki Delana 57’#Tavua Caution: Vilitati Ratu 55’#11am Churchill Park, Lautoka# #Full Time: Nadi 1 Suva 1#Nadi Goal: Ratu Josefata Dugucagi 6’#Nadi Caution: Ilimotama Jese 52’#Nadi Sent OFF: Ilimotama Jese 57’#Suva Goal: Joseph Mishra 16’#Suva Caution: Sedrick Dutt 34’#12.30pm Churchill Park, Lautoka# #Full Time: Ba 1 Navua 1#Ba Goal: Jone Salauneune 49’#Ba Caution: Remeuru Tekiata 47’#Navua Goal: Vineet Chand 18’#2pm Churchill Park, Lautoka# #Full Time: Lautoka 1 Rewa 0#Lautoka Goal: Valerio Nawatu 27’#Rewa Caution: Apisai Smith 22’#Rewa SENT OFF: Apisai Smith 46’#3.30pm Churchill Park, Lautoka#
