As the sun set on the closure of the Gideon Sevens. The smiles of the players and the organisers were visible as they were on their way home.The tournament was a great success and the crowd was entertained with the dazzling performance of the very talented players. It has been a wonderful day out for families, friends and rugby fanatics.
The spectators applaud at the teams that have victoriously scooped the prizes. The teams are as follows:
Cup Final

Bowl Final
Vatukaloko 21 - Veisari Tornadoes 7
Plate Final
Davetalevu 15 - Army Lautoka 14

The victorious Veiyasana Babas have shocked everyone by scooping the cup. They played exceptionally well to thump the other reknown teams.
The assorted teams that came to participate in the Gideon Sevens tournament were amazed at the level of competition that they faced.The spectators were impressed and satisfied with the tournament. It was money well spent. The Men's Fellowship motto for the game itself was "You Pay Less To See The Best".That was a true interpretation of the package of the Gideon Sevens. Or as we say it back home "Mate Nai Lavo".Looking forward to another Gideon Sevens Tournament that will be held next year.

CHURCH IN TRANSITION
Since the going home of the late Rev F K Waqa in April of 2004, LFT have witnessed some major changes take place.
This does not only include the new faces in our leadership team, but also in the way things are run. We surely have broken new ground and are improving still.
You will have noticed the postings of the annual bazaar and the inaugural Gideon 7s tourney. That is only two of the many activities and events that have found its way into our calender and will greatly boost our endeavor to achieve our vision.
It may be a break from tradition but effective nonetheless. LFT is surely a church in transition.
With the GO FORWARD plan already taking place, we surely cannot forget the toils and labor of those that have carried the cross of establishing LFT as a household name in Lautoka over the years. None more so than our beloved former Senior Pastor and mentor, the late Rev F K Waqa. Special mention also goes to his two former deputies, Rev Jerry Radrodro (now senior Pastor of CBM AOG in Labasa) and Rev Semi Ratucoka (now a missionary in Australia), who was with the late mentor to the very end.
In this posting, we have added a short video documentary prepared by a church member, as tribute to this great man of GOD.
