The Cambridge Farms Nadroga Rugby Union teams and supporters are gearing up for their Skipper Cup celebration after receiving their prize money from the Fiji Rugby Union.
This information was confirmed by NRU president Jiuta Waqavonovono to SUNsports yesterday.
Waqavonovono stated that the money was received last Thursday and he expressed his gratitude to the FRU for the prompt delivery.
“We can finally start planning for the celebration. The people of Nadroga have been eagerly waiting for this occasion as we are very proud of our players,” he said.
However, Waqavonovono noted that the prize money for this year’s Skipper Cup is $20,000, down from $30,000 in previous years. Additionally, the Nadroga Under-20 team received $5,000 for winning the Skipper Cup U20 competition.
“We will re-adjust our budget to accommodate all our planned activities. We will also inform our sponsors about the celebration plans.
“Everyone is looking forward to the event and we are all excited to honor our heroes,” he said.
Waqavonovono also extended his gratitude to the family members and supporters for their steadfast support throughout the competition.
