Isikeli Sevanaia is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Isikeli Sevanaia: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match19 Aug 2026

Rewa march on in the cup

Nasinu are out and Rewa go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Rewa say no — this time

The offer from Nadi for Neemish Prasad was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market24 Aug 2026

Samuela Nabenia asks to leave Rewa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

James Hoyt beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Rewa

Tevita Waranaivalu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Racing tell Rewa: Alfie James is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Patrick Naranayanan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Patrick Naranayanan and Rewa agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

When it matters, Gabriele Matanisiga plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Rewa say no — this time

The offer from WaiBOP United for Setareki Hughes was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tevita Waranaivalu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rewa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Rewa rebuffed over Atunaisa Naucukidi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lautoka have kept their man, and Rewa go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

James Pillay falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market17 Aug 2026

The shop window has Samuela Nabenia in it

Rewa have let the market know Samuela Nabenia can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Patrick Naranayanan knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Rewa, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Rewa

Tevita Waranaivalu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Aug 2026

Rewa promote Ilaisa Tuisese from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ilaisa Tuisese has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Patrick Naranayanan steps up from the Rewa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrick Naranayanan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
