The Cambridge Farms Nadroga Rugby Union teams and supporters are now gearing up for their Skipper Cup celebration after receiving their prize money from the Fiji Rugby Union.
This was confirmed by NRU president Jiuta Waqavonovono yesterday.
Waqavonovono mentioned that the money was received last week on Thursday and expressed his gratitude to the FRU for the timely transfer.
“We can finally start with the celebration plans. The people of Nadroga have been eagerly awaiting this occasion as we are proud of our players,” he said.
He also confirmed that the prize money for the Skipper Cup this year is $20,000, not $30,000 as in previous years, while the Nadroga Under-20 team received $5,000 for winning the Skipper Cup U20 competition.
“We will re-adjust our budget slightly to accommodate everything we planned for. We will also inform our sponsors about the celebration,” Waqavonovono added.
“Everyone is looking forward and we are all excited to honor our heroes,” he said.
Waqavonovono also extended his gratitude to family members and supporters for their unwavering backing throughout the competition.
