The 4th Fiji Bitter Tabadamu 7s has officially commenced at Thomson Park in Navua. This year’s tournament features a diverse array of 32 men’s teams, 16 under-21 teams, and 4 women’s teams, highlighting the depth of talent across the region.
Excitingly, this year’s competition will see a new champion crowned, as the defending champions, Fire Rugby, are not participating. The absence of last year’s champion opens the field, allowing new contenders an opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially seize the title.
The tournament’s structure consists of various pools, with teams including well-known clubs such as Tabadamu and Ratu Filise, leading to anticipated matchups and exciting interactions on the field. Organizers coordinate a thrilling atmosphere filled with competitive spirit, promising spectators an engaging sporting experience.
James Vunituraga, Media and Marketing Officer, emphasized the importance of community support and fundraising efforts from the participating clubs, which are fundamental in enabling these teams to compete at such a level. This event not only serves as a competitive platform but also fosters community engagement, highlighting Fiji’s rich rugby culture.
The tournament is not just an occasion for thrilling matches but also stands as a celebration of grassroots rugby, demonstrating the unity and resilience of players, supporters, and communities alike. As matches unfold throughout the day, fans are encouraged to join in the excitement, making this event a true showcase of Fijian rugby spirit. The gathering at Thomson Park serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring athletes and a reminder of the strong bonds created through sport.
