Squad

Iosefo Verevou damages knee ligaments — 83 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 83 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Isikeli Sevanaia stays put

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

Player ratings

Patrick Joseph runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Rewa

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

Rewa come up short against Lautoka

Lautoka left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

One of our own: Amani Matai joins the Rewa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Amani Matai is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Jale Mocenica steps up from the Rewa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jale Mocenica 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.

Market

Rewa promote Christopher Hughes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christopher Hughes 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.

In brief
