The Rewa under 19 football team kicked-off their Vodafone Youth League play-off campaign on a high after thrashing Labasa 5-nil  in the opening match at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa.

It took the young Delta Tigers side two minutes to break the deadlock as Striker Theophille Compan capitalized on the Babasiga Lions mistake to give Rewa a 1-nil lead.

Rewa captain Inoke Turaqalailai guided his team well and they managed to extend their lead through Turaqalai in the 66th minute from the penalty spot.
