The Ba Rugby Union is making significant strides by securing valuable partnerships that enhance their operations. Recently, Sportsworld has signed an agreement to become the official match ball sponsor for Ba Rugby Union (BRU), providing the Gilbert match balls for all domestic fixtures this season. This exciting development comes as the BRU aims to elevate its standards and competitiveness in various tournaments, including the Vinod Patel Cup, Inox Trophy, and Tikina Championships.
Vilimoni Delasau, the Director of Rugby for BRU, expressed gratitude towards Sportsworld for their support, highlighting the necessity for high-quality match balls as the teams prepare for competitions like the Skipper Cup and Ranadi Cup. Sportsworld’s General Manager, Vinod Kumar, emphasized their commitment to grassroots sports development, noting that they are already a title sponsor for the Fiji Under 20s team.
This partnership reflects a broader trend within Ba Rugby Union which has also recently engaged with other sponsors to support different aspects of the sport, including a vital two-year sponsorship deal with NewWorld IGA aimed at developing women’s rugby in the area. Such initiatives underscore a commitment to not only improve men’s rugby but also enhance the opportunities available for women athletes in the community.
The ongoing collaborations and positive developments signal a promising future for rugby in Ba, with a focus on fostering talent, improving resources, and building community support around the sport. With these efforts, the BRU is setting an encouraging precedent for the growth of rugby across all levels in the region.
