The Simla Dragons snooker club is gearing up for an exciting venture as they prepare for their much-anticipated tour to Vanua Levu in 2025. This tour marks a historic milestone as it will be the first time a league-winning team embarks on such a trip to Vanua Levu, following their victory in the North West Snooker League last year.
Team captain William Lee expressed his enthusiasm for the journey, highlighting the significance of this visit. He mentioned, “This is a groundbreaking moment for us.” The club is looking forward to fostering connections with local players in Labasa, where they will be hosted by the Labasa Club President, Mr. Dalip, and his Secretary. Lee emphasized that the trip will focus not only on competing but also on sharing their playing style and potentially inspiring the establishment of a new league in Labasa.
Furthermore, Lee extended gratitude to the sponsors who have made this trip possible, acknowledging their essential role in supporting the club’s ambitions.
In a related context, Fiji’s snooker scene is witnessing a revival and growth, evidenced by significant player turnout at recent tournaments hosted by various associations. For example, the Fiji Billiards and Snooker Association (FBSA) recently reported over 75 registrations for their tournaments, a notable increase compared to previous years. This heightened interest is promising for the snooker community, as it showcases a vibrant network of players and fans invested in the future of the sport.
Overall, the tour to Vanua Levu represents not just another competition, but a pivotal opportunity for collaboration and growth in Fiji’s snooker community, encouraging a spirit of camaraderie among players and an exciting horizon for the sport.
With initiatives like this, the future of snooker in Fiji looks bright, fostering connections and inspiring new talent along the way.
