Fafale said they have respect for Western Turtles who also proved to be a tough team.

Renbel had their chances but just could not find the right combination and the perfect finishing touches.
Renbel coach, Joel Konofilia said despite the defeat, they have taken a lot of positives from the match.

“The result doesn’t matter very much, we have two games ahead and we just have to work hard to get points from those two games.
“Makira is a very good side, all credit to them; I think they do well in the rest of the tournament.
“We look forward to our next game, I have one week to prepare for our next game,” he said.
