The Extra Supermarket Labasa football side has moved back to the top of the Extra Premier League points table after an impressive 3-nil win against Tavua yesterday.

The win sees Labasa move to 29 points. Rewa had the chance to maintain its top spot but were held to a goal less draw by Lautoka in Nausori.

The Delta Tigers are in second spot, also with 29 points, however, Labasa has a slender lead on goal difference.

Navua maintains its third spot with a hard fought 1-nil over Nasinu at the Uprising Sports Complex with Arami Manumanubai heading the winning goal in the first spell.

In other matches played yesterday, Nadi held Suva to a goal less draw while Ba had to rely on a last minute own goal from Nadroga to salvage a 1-all draw.

Round 13 of the competition will be played this coming weekend.
