3 points: Apisai Smith (Rewa) - the lanky striker showed skills and completed a hat-trick for the Tigers. Could have scored more goals.

2 points: Pranil Chand (Rewa) - scored a double and played perfectly in midfield. Has great vision and distributed the ball well.

1 point: Peniame Drova (Rewa) - was strong in defence and also attacked Nadroga's defensive line whenever he had possession.

LAUTOKA 4 NAVUA 0

3 points - Maika Waqa (Lautoka) - the veteran player making a return after a lapse of eight years showed he still has a lot to offer. Set up two goals and should be a threat during the upcoming Fiji FACT

2 points - Pene Erenio (Navua) - a robust defender who worked overtime. It is unfortunate that he has been left out of the national training squad.

1 point - Alvin Avinesh (Lautoka) - made a strong return for the Blues after a stint with Labasa. A skilful midfielder who has a lot of understanding with the defenders and attackers.
