The win over Ba last weekend is only the beginning for the Navua football team, as they prepare for the next nine rounds of the Digicel Premier League.

The young Navua side managed to claw its way back up to seventh place with four points after that win, while Nadroga moves to the bottom of the DPL standings.

Navua Coach Amit Prakash says the aim is to win all their remaining games to avoid relegation.
