The Blue Gas-sponsored Lilian Amazons are set to head to Napier, New Zealand, for the Duavata Sevens tournament on Saturday. This tournament precedes their first appearance at the Malake Sevens tournament scheduled for October 26.
The Amazons continue to impress with their winning streak, recently securing victory in the Fullsend Sevens tournament held in Whanganui, where they triumphed over Fullsend 22-17 in the Cup final.
Team manager Mere Gaunavou highlighted that this achievement represents another significant milestone for the young squad. She noted, “Last year, the team won the prestigious Darwin Hottest 7s tournament, and we have consistently performed well in local tournaments.”
Just weeks prior, the team claimed victory at the Brimstone Sevens event, defeating the champion Seahawks, a club featuring both current and former Fijiana representatives.
Gaunavou expressed gratitude towards the team’s main sponsor, Blue Gas, as well as associate sponsor Flame Tree, and acknowledged the support from their families and fans. She mentioned, “The team’s success is rooted in its strong culture and rigorous training programs. Most of these girls are new to rugby, so it takes immense sacrifice and proper training to compete and win, despite their young training age.”
