The Ezers Women’s rugby sevens team achieved a significant milestone last week by defeating the defending champions Tagimoucia Ranadi with a score of 21-10, claiming the women’s title at the Fiji Bitter Labasa 7s. This victory marks an important achievement for the young team, emphasizing their aspirations and determination as noted by team manager Tulena Ragadi.

In an earlier interview, Ragadi expressed the team’s intention to succeed in this tournament, and her joy following the win was palpable. “We are so overjoyed and we would like to thank the Lord for guiding us,” she remarked, highlighting the spiritual and emotional support that bolstered their performance.

Despite the team facing a near lack of supporters in Labasa due to their status as a newer team, Ragadi noted their ability to focus and execute their strategy effectively. “We didn’t come here for a picnic nor a holiday. We came here to claim that trophy,” she explained, demonstrating the squad’s resolve and determination.

Looking ahead, the Ezers team will be competing in the Fiji Bitter Savusavu 7s this week, eager to continue their momentum. The triumph serves not only as a boost for the team’s confidence but also as an inspiration for women’s rugby in Fiji, a sport that is continually gaining popularity and competitiveness.

This success illustrates the growing potential of women’s rugby in the region, aligning with the ambitions of other teams like the Lilian Amazons, who are also striving for excellence and recognition in the sport. The collective achievements contribute positively to the future of women’s rugby in Fiji, showcasing the dedication and resilience of these athletes.

In summary, the Ezers’ victory is a beacon of hope for burgeoning teams in women’s rugby and exemplifies the spirit of determination required to strive for and achieve success in competitive sports.
