Navua coming off a 3-1 victory over the Skippy Southern U23 last Thursday maintained their form on Sunday as they defeated Weet-Bix Shop N Save Lautoka at Churchill Park by the same margin. #Lautoka got the upper hand in the first spell as evergreen Jone Vono Junior put the home side ahead on the 34th minute. #Navua equalised just seven minutes later when Pranil Kumar found the back of the net. Kumar got his second goal in the new spell and Sailosi Livatalo added Navua’s third. #Ba impressively netted in ten goals over the latest round of the league. Ba beat Sunquick Sigatoka Motor Spares Nadroga 5-1 at Lawaqa Park. On Sunday Angel Tavua suffered a similar fate as they went down to Ba 5-0 at Garvey Park. #In the other match played on Sunday, Royal Tea Shop N Save Nadi upset a high flying Bic Power Electric Suva side 1-0 at Prince Charles Park. #The two-match Fiji Sun/Weet-Bix Premier Viti Levu playoffs ended with a tie as both teams now have equal points and goal differential. #Janola Rakiraki defeated Eveready Vinz Workz Tailevu Naitasiri 3-1 during the first leg at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori. Last Sunday Tailevu Naitasiri returned the favour with a similar score line at the final leg which was played at Fiji Sports Council Complex in Rakiraki. #Fiji FA competitions manager Jainendra Sukhu, said a third match would now be played at a neutral venue but they awaited a pending protest which Tailevu Naitasiri filed against Rakiraki after losing the first encounter. #Sukhu, said the Fiji FA board of control will soon make known of the outcome which will then see the competitions department releasing further details. #Fiji Sun/Weet-Bix National Football League #Full Time: Skipper Southern Forest Navua 3 Weet-Bix Shop N Save Lautoka 1#Navua Goals: Pranil Kumar 41”, 67”; Sailosi Livatalo 75”#Navua Cautions: Sailosi Livatalo 23’; Simione Maikali 60’#Lautoka Goal: Jone Vono Junior 34”#Lautoka Caution: Jone Kaloutani 41’#3.30pm at Churchill Park, Lautoka #Full Time: Energizer 4R Electrical Ba 5 Angel Tavua 0#Ba Goals: Malakai Tiwa 19”; Tuimasi Manuca 27”; Isimeli Naresia 59”; Keni Doidoi 62”; Shalen Lal 65”#Ba Cautions: Shalen Lal 26’; Remeuru Takiata 71’#Tavua Caution: Vilitati Ratu 42’, 61’#Tavua Sent OFF: Vilitati Ratu 61’#3pm at Garvey Park, Tavua#Full Time: Royal Tea Shop N Save Nadi 1 Bic Power Electric Suva 0#Nadi Goal: Mohammed Janiff 3”#Nadi Caution: Ratu Tuinaceva 39’, 61’#Nadi SENT OFF: Ratu Tuinaceva 61’#Suva Caution: Inosi Cava 43’#3pm at Prince Charles Park, Nadi#Fiji Sun/Weet-Bix National Viti-Levu Premier Division Playoffs#Full Time: Eveready Vinz Workz Tailevu Naitasiri 3 Janola Rakiraki 1#Tailevu Naitasiri Goals: Shelvin Prasad 6”; Ashwin Lal 87”; Ricky Shankar 90+#Tailevu Naitasiri Cautions: Shelvin Prasad 44’; Hoteshwar Padarath 90’; Shivneel Ram 90’#Rakiraki Goal: Janardhan Goundar 79”#Rakiraki Cautions: Setoki Qauqau 83’#Rakiraki SENT OFF: Asaeli Combuta 43’#3pm at Fiji Sports Council Ground, Rakiraki#Note: from Fiji FA Competitions Manager Jainendra Sukhu: #after the second match , Tailevu Naitasiri and Rakiraki are equal on points and goal difference thus a third match will now be played at a neutral venue to decide the Viti Levu premier division winner. #But Tailevu Naitasiri has a pending protest against Rakiraki.
