This comes as the southerners fought back from a goal down to pull off a 1-1 draw against Angel Mackerel Tavua earlier this afternoon. #The result means that Bic Suva top Pool 2 and Navua goes through as the runner-up. Following the tie both Tavua and Navua were with six points each but the southerners fancied a better goal average. #Jale Vota gave Tavua a golden start in the match with a 4th minute goal. The Western-based side denied Navua on many occasions but their defence line finally was beaten in the 37th minute by Sedrick Dutt. #Tavua President Shalen Roy, said inexperience may have led to their downfall. #“We are a very young team and you could that a lot of times inexperienced were seen in the players. Instead of attacking they tried protecting that lead. Our instructions were to attack in their half but players backed up in a bid to defend the lead,” Roy said. #Despite the shortfall, Roy applauded his troops for the effort. #“I think the boys played above our expectations. We exit with an unbeaten record and this is something we will work on when preparing for the next tournament.”#Full Time: Skipper Tuna Navua 1 Angel Mackerel Tavua 1#Navua Goal: Sedrick Dutt 37”#Navua Caution: Salvador Vergera 20’#Tavua Goal: Jale Vota 4”#Tavua Caution: Viitati Ratu 17’; Valerio Nasema 30’#3.15pm at Ratu Cakobau Park, Nausori#Navua: 1.
