The Dominion Brothers under-20 sevens rugby team is driven by a strong ambition to support their families as they enter the third leg of the Fiji Sports Council’s U20 sevens tournament this week. Team manager Manasa Moto shared that the team’s focus is not just on winning but also on the life-changing opportunities rugby can offer.
In the initial leg of the tournament held at Thomson Park in Navua earlier this month, the team showcased a dynamic performance which set a strong foundation for their journey ahead. Moto emphasized that the players understand the potential of rugby as a lucrative career path, which motivates them to excel.
Discipline on the field has also been underscored as a vital aspect of their training, ensuring that the players maintain their composure and focus during competitions. As they head into the leg in Savusavu, preparations have been thorough, and the team is eager for the challenge that lies ahead.
Mata expressed excitement about the series created by the Fiji Sports Council and Fiji Rugby, allowing young players to showcase their talents. With the tournament moving to Vanua Levu, the Dominion Brothers anticipate a higher level of competition, especially with teams from Savusavu and Labasa entering the fray.
Having already secured victories in the first two legs of the tournament, the Dominion team is determined to continue their success and further their goals, both on and off the field.
In a hopeful note, events like the U20 series not only promote sportsmanship but also provide a platform for young athletes to realize their dreams, potentially changing their lives through the sport they love.
This tournament reflects a positive trend in youth sports, highlighting the importance of ambition, family values, and the potential for rugby to open doors for future opportunities.
