KONTIKI Finance has made a significant contribution to the upcoming Banana Cup tournament by providing a $2,000 sponsorship, which was presented by marketing manager Joni Moce at the Suva Bowling Club yesterday. This sponsorship builds on Kontiki’s previous support of the Pineapple Cup held in September, showcasing their dedication to promoting local sports.
The Banana Cup is a long-standing national tournament that has been celebrated for over 60 years. It is anticipated to attract between 20 to 30 participants, featuring not only experienced national representatives but also promising young athletes under the age of 20.
Event coordinator Litia Tikoisuva expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating, “We are looking forward to a good weekend, and may the best team win.” She highlighted the tournament’s unpredictability, noting that seasoned players may face challenges from newer competitors. “We have some national representatives participating, but if it’s your day, then it’s your day. No matter how skilled you are, a new bowler can emerge victorious,” she remarked.
Moce also encouraged families and community members to attend the tournament this weekend, emphasizing that the sport combines strategy and precision, making it an enjoyable atmosphere complemented by entertainment, food, and beverages. “It’s a beautiful sport because it’s not only about rolling the ball but about strategy and precision as well. So, I urge all families and friends to come down this weekend to check out the competition,” she urged.
As excitement continues to grow, both Kontiki Finance and tournament organizers are eager to unite the community for this exciting event. The Banana Cup will take place this Saturday at the Suva Bowling Club, commencing at 9 am.
In summary, the Banana Cup tournament not only promises thrilling competition but also represents an important opportunity for community engagement and support for local talents, all thanks to the generous sponsorship from Kontiki Finance. It is moments like these that reinforce the spirit of sportsmanship and community development.
