The Lilian Amazons, sponsored by Blue Gas, are set to travel to Napier, New Zealand, for the Duavata Sevens tournament on Saturday. This follows their upcoming participation in the Malake Sevens tournament on October 26.
The team has continued its impressive winning streak after emerging victorious in the Fullsend Sevens tournament held in Whanganui over the weekend, where they defeated Fullsend 22-17 in the Cup final.
Team manager Mere Gaunavou stated that this victory represents a significant milestone for the young squad. She noted that the team previously won the prestigious Darwin Hottest 7s tournament last year and has consistently excelled in local competitions.
Just a few weeks ago, the Amazons claimed victory at the Brimstone Sevens, overcoming the champion Seahawks, who feature both current and former Fijiana representatives.
Gaunavou expressed gratitude to the team’s main sponsor, Blue Gas, as well as associate sponsor Flame Tree, along with the families and supporters for their unwavering support. She emphasized that the team’s achievements are rooted in a strong culture and rigorous training programs, highlighting that many players are new to rugby and have demonstrated immense dedication and commitment to succeed despite their limited experience.
