Lautoka Rugby Union is gearing up for a significant match against Naitasiri in today’s Farebrother challenge, buoyed by the goodwill generated from their recent community work. The team took the initiative to support St Thomas Primary School in Lautoka by installing seven solar lights. This act of generosity has been warmly appreciated by the school’s administration, staff, and students, who have expressed their heartfelt thanks for the union’s support.
Sakiusa Takirua, the school chairman, praised the project, noting its significant positive impact. “Lautoka Rugby Union installed seven solar lights, and the school was fortunate to receive their support. We’re glad and thankful for this partnership,” he stated. Takirua also emphasized how the rugby team uses the school grounds for training, and in turn, the solar lights are a gesture of gratitude from the rugby union, which even brought in their own workforce to complete the task.
The appreciation for Lautoka Rugby Union’s efforts extends beyond illumination. The entire school community, from students in classrooms to those on the playing field, stands united in their support for Lautoka, expressing best wishes for their success in bringing the Farebrother trophy back home. With such community backing, Lautoka enters the challenge with both pride and a sense of purpose.
The upcoming match is more than just a game; it is a testament to the strong sense of community and mutual support present in Lautoka. Acts like these reinforce the bond between sports teams and their communities, demonstrating the power of sports to bring about positive social contributions. As they step onto the field today, not only does Lautoka carry with them the hopes of reclaiming the esteemed trophy but also the goodwill and best wishes of an entire community inspired by their charitable actions.
