KONTIKI Finance has enhanced the upcoming Banana Cup tournament with a generous sponsorship of $2,000, presented by marketing manager Joni Moce at the Suva Bowling Club yesterday. This sponsorship follows Kontiki’s successful backing of the Pineapple Cup in September, underscoring their dedication to promoting local sports.
The Banana Cup is a national event that has been celebrated for over 60 years and is expected to attract 20 to 30 players, including emerging talents under 20 and national representatives. Event coordinator Litia Tikoisuva expressed her excitement, stating, “We are looking forward to a good weekend, and may the best team win.” She noted the tournament’s inherent unpredictability, where seasoned players may face challenges from newcomers.
“We will have some national representatives participating, but the game can surprise you. If it’s your day, it’s your day. No matter how experienced you are, a fresh bowler can steal the spotlight,” she explained.
Moce invited families and community members to attend the tournament this weekend, highlighting that the sport combines strategy and precision. She promised an enjoyable experience with food, beverages, and entertainment available for all attendees. “It’s a beautiful sport because it’s not only about rolling the ball but about strategy and precision. I encourage all family and friends to come down this weekend and witness the competition,” Moce asserted.
As anticipation builds, both Kontiki Finance and tournament organizers are eager to unite the community for another successful event. The Banana Cup competition is scheduled to commence this Saturday at the Suva Bowling Club at around 9 AM.
This sponsorship represents a significant investment in local sports, fostering community engagement and promoting youth participation, which is essential for the sport’s long-term growth and enthusiasm.
