Rewa FC has unofficially secured the Extra Premier League title with two matches remaining in the season, marking another significant milestone for the team. The Nausori-based squad currently leads the standings with 39 points, achieved through 12 victories, three draws, and a single defeat across 16 games. This commanding lead has effectively ended Labasa’s hopes of claiming the league title, with Labasa and Lautoka closely following in second and third positions with 34 and 33 points, respectively.
In the coming week’s EPL action, Rewa will face Suva, and Labasa is set to play against Nadi in two important matches scheduled for Sunday. The final round of matches will feature Rewa taking on Nasinu, Lautoka facing Suva, Navua hosting Nadi, Labasa clashing with Nadroga, and Tavua meeting Ba. These remaining matches will solidify the standings and conclude the current EPL season, adding to the already intense competition witnessed.
Rewa’s achievement follows a season of consistent performances. Earlier in the season, they reclaimed the top position in the league after a crucial win against Labasa. The team’s success can be attributed to their strong strategic play and the ability to come back from setbacks, as seen in previous matches. Notably, interim coach Tevita Waranivalu has played a role in maintaining the team’s top form, especially after the transition of leadership from former coach Rodicks Singh.
This backdrop of competitive spirit and the display of local talent exemplifies the dynamic nature of the league. As fans await the final matches, the excitement continues to build around Rewa’s potential to bring the title home again. The team’s vibrant play and determination give supporters hope for an inspiring conclusion to the EPL season, reinforcing the thrilling nature of football in the region.
