Men in Black with an early throttle to score in the first minute came through the boots of Ba’s deadly attacker Kiniviliame Naika followed by the second goal by Tuimasi Manuca  in the 24^th minute of the first half; yet the side beaming with confidence was leading Rewa 2 goals to nil in the first half.

The second half wasn’t much of applauding as a two goal margin can sometimes leave the other side without hope in a game of 60minute soccer as top sticker Osea Vakatalesau nailed the final pin on the coffin for the Ba side leaving a full time score of Ba 3 – Rewa 0.

With the last match of the day two in contention; hosts Design Engineering Lautoka might get an early exit from this year’s Courts IDC as the side lost to Labasa in their second pool match by 2-1.

Ba and Labasa now have more of the chances to qualify for the semi-finals as both the sides have four points in their pool and a win for them tomorrow would seal their place for Sunday’s semi-finals in pool A, while pool B still remains wide open at this stage as Suva having only four points which means Nadroga, Nadi and Navua still have equal chances to qualify for the semi-finals.
