Both of them Akuila Singh's — 8.18
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.18, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Isake Naduvu hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Navua can pretend not to have heard.

Nadroga come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Navua did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Transfer targets5 Jun 2028
The paperwork begins on Patrick Mocenica
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Navua have done the hard part with Tailevu Naitasiri, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at Navua
Will Kennedy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Navua supporters have found a favourite in Patrick Tuyaga
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 16-year-old it feels ownership of. Patrick Tuyaga has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
Match3 Jun 2028
Navua get the job done against Suva
A 2‑0 win over Suva, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Nobody could get near Mosese Nabose
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
In brief
- The dugout A satisfied Akuila Lal
- The dugout A promise honoured at Navua
- Squad Zainal Ali falls out with a teammate over standards
