The Ba Rugby Union has announced that the eagerly awaited “Battle of the Bridge” trial match will be postponed. This decision comes in light of new information from the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU), which has indicated that the 2025 Skipper Cup season is expected to take place from August to November.
As per a statement from the Ba Rugby Union, the officials have deemed it less beneficial to hold trials at this stage, considering the proposed timeline. Further details regarding the scheduling will be provided after the FRU’s Annual General Meeting on November 9.
If the Skipper Cup season is planned to start in February or March instead, the Ba Rugby Union intends to arrange the “Battle of the Bridge” for later in that month. The union expressed regret for any inconvenience this may cause to players and fans, while also extending their gratitude for the community’s understanding.
This postponement, although disappointing, reflects the union’s commitment to ensuring that the matches align well with the overall season schedule. Fans of rugby can remain optimistic, as the eventual planning will allow for a more organized and exciting competition moving forward.
In summary, while the postponement of the “Battle of the Bridge” trial match might be a setback, it demonstrates the Ba Rugby Union’s proactive approach towards creating an effective season structure. With clear communication and updates ahead, both players and fans can look forward to a well-coordinated rugby experience in the future.
