Having played in the Skipper Cup in the past, Gavidi says this year is a little different.

“There are a lot of teams now and the competition is getting stronger every year, we can see in every week there are a lot of upsets, like Nadroga going down to some of the small teams that just came in this year, also for us Suva. The Skipper Cup competition is getting stronger every year.”

Rewa hosts Suva at Burebasaga Ground on Saturday at 3pm.

In other matches Northland meets Tailevu at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori, Namosi faces Nadroga at Thompson Park in Navua, and Nadi battles Naitasiri at Prince Charles Park.
