2012 Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants#This comes as defending champion Rewa lost an all crucial match 0-1 to Ba earlier tonight. Rewa needed to win the match at any cost but a first half Mavileko Nakama goal was enough for Ba to seal a place in Saturday’s semifinal. #Labasa along with Ba have now booked a spot in the semifinal from pool one. The Lions defeated Nadroga 5-1 who also exit. #Ba and Labasa will clash tomorrow afternoon and the match will determine who finishes on top and runner up. #Nadroga and Rewa will also clash in a match whereby the winner can only claim third spot. #The Lions following their 2-0 victory over Rewa last Sunday beat Nadroga 5-1 today to claim top spot in pool one. #Labasa Football Interim president Bhim Raj says everything is going according to plan at the moment. #“Two wins from two outings is a positive move so far. We are proud of the boys and I’m sure that as we progress the boys will get better,” he said. #Raj said the Papua New Guinea duo Kema Jack and Wiri Wama have contributed a lot. #“The two PNG based players have gelled in well with the side and I’m sure will do more wonders. We have asked the Labasa players to set aside any difference with the team official or themselves and focus on the task ahead of them.”#Suva bounced back from their first round defeat to thump Navua 4-0 in the opening match of day two in the 2012 Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants tournament at Churchill Park in Lautoka. #Their Nigerian import Issa Sanni scored a brace of goals in the first half to dampen Navua’s spirit. In the second #Navua further weakened as Leone Damudamu and lethal striker Samuela Drudru scored to extend Suva’s lead. #The win sees Suva back in the race for a berth in Saturday’s semifinal but on the other hand Navua looks to miss out on the top two spot from their pool. #Host Lautoka claimed their second victory in the competition with a 3-1 win over Nadi. Lautoka now only needs a draw against Suva to top their group and book a semifinal spot.#Nadi needs to beat Navua tomorrow and hope that Lautoka upset Suva. However if Suva upsets Lautoka and Nadi beats Navua then all three sides will be equal with six points and it would come down to goal differential. #Thursday July 26, 2012#Full Time: Suva 4 Navua 0#Suva Goals: Issa Sanni 27’, 35’; Leone Damudamu 69’; Samuela Drudru 78’; #Suva Caution: Inosi Cava 72’#Navua Caution: Monit Chand 46’#2pm at Churchill Park, Lautoka#Full Time: Labasa 5 Nadroga 1#Labasa Goals: Maciu Dunadamu 19’, 57’;Wira Wama 71’,89’#Labasa Cautions: Pita Bolaitoga 40’, 60’; Kema Jack 69’#Labasa Sent Off: Pita Bolaitoga 60’#Nadroga Goal: Krishneel Dutt 51’ (Own Goal); Archie Watkins 55’#Nadroga Cautions: Archie Watkins 22’; Luke Rawadamu 40’,84’;#Nadroga Sent Off: Luke Rawadamu 84’#4pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka#Full Time: Ba 1 Rewa 0#Ba Goal: Mavileko Nakama 41’#Ba Cautions:Avinesh Waran Suwamy 68’;Manueli Kalou 73’; Tuimasi Manuca 87’#Rewa Cautions: James Naka 34’; Peniame Drova 47’;#6.30pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka#Full Time: Lautoka 3 Nadi 1#Lautoka Goals : Zibraaz Sahib 36’, 48’;Alvin Avinesh 45+1(PK);#Lautoka Cautions: Jone Nailogi 70’; Isikeli Jeke Keli 69’#Nadi Goal: Ratu Veresa Toma 42’#Nadi Cautions: Ratu Veresa Toma 12’; Ilimotama Jese 47’; Netani Doli 77’#8.30pm Churchill Park, Lautoka#
