Navua/Labasa Into Semis

Vodafone Labasa and Southern Forest Navua have booked their places in the semifinals of the FMF/Blue Gas Battle of the Giants which kicks off this hour

Labasa is the first team to book a place in the semifinal from Pool 1 after recording 3 wins from their 3 games and currently lead with 9 points.

The runner-up spot is up for grabs with the Vodafone Ba, Shop and Save Lautoka and the City Security Nasinu side fighting it out to see who will join Labasa.

Ba, who have 1 point from two games, will take on Nasinu at 10.15am and their last game this afternoon is at 3.15pm against Nadroga.

The Men in Black will need to win both games with a huge score-line to be in contention for a semifinal berth.

For the Nasinu side, they will be out to cause an upset against the defending champions and with the coaching from former Ba rep Ravuama Madigi, the side sees nothing impossible.

Lautoka will have an advantage as they are playing the last game of the day at 7pm and will know the score-line of both Nasinu and Ba game before they will take on Labasa.

In Pool 2, Navua are through to the semifinal while Nadi, Tavua, with Power Electric/Vodafone Suva are all fighting it out for who will be in the semifinal.

The first game of today is at 10.15am between Nasinu and Ba with a live commentary on Radio Sargam.

Just looking at last night’s results, Suva and Rewa played to a 1-all draw, Lautoka held Ba to a 2-all draw, Labasa beat Nadroga 3-0 while Navua and Nadi were tied at 1 a-piece.
