The Ba Women’s Rugby team is gearing up to launch their 2025 Royal Tea Ranadi Trophy campaign with enthusiasm and determination following a rigorous six months of preparation. Keen to highlight their talent and skills, the team is focused on reaching the finals and securing a spot in the prestigious Marama Cup next year. Director Luse Vula has confirmed that the team is ready, with a final squad of 30 athletes chosen based on their performances in local competitions over recent months.
Vula expressed confidence in the team’s fitness and readiness, noting, “The team has been preparing since the month of April, and our squad of 30 has been selected for this season. They have been training hard, and I was with them yesterday; they look fit and in shape, and they are very excited for this season.”
This season officially kicks off this weekend, marking the beginning of the 2025 Vodafone Vanua and Royal Tea Ranadi Trophy season. Ba’s upcoming match against Navosa at Lawaqa Park will be a significant start as they aim to build on their momentum from preparatory matches, including recent friendlies against Kadavu and Vatukoula. The team’s relentless preparation reflects their commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
In addition to their sporting goals, Ba Women’s Rugby is also dedicated to positive community impact. Initiatives such as their small-scale farming project aim to financially support the team and foster sustainability. This initiative not only aids in securing resources like gear and transport but underscores a broader effort to empower players and contribute to community development. Such off-field ventures highlight the team’s focus on resilience and self-sufficiency, contributing to the social and economic well-being of their community.
Looking ahead, the Ba Women’s Rugby program continues to receive recognition at national levels, with players being included in development pathways. This upward trajectory underscores their growing reputation and the promising outlook for women’s rugby in Ba. Through their dedication and strategic initiatives, the team is not only elevating their performance on the field but also paving the way for future successes, inspired by the community and their shared aspirations.
