Newtown Rugby is making significant progress in the Ram Sami Nasinu Rugby Football Union weekly club competition, currently holding second place after 11 rounds.
The team has maintained a strong record, with their most recent match on Saturday ending in a 10-all draw against West Coast Drifters.
Besides this draw, Newtown has secured nine victories and suffered only one loss to Police so far.
“We give the glory back to God for the results we have produced so far. Due to the wet weather condition this week, we were only able to train for two days but we are grateful to come away with a draw against West Coast Drifters. We are progressing well this season considering some of these boys are around 19 years old, three are still in school and some are just fresh out of high school,” head coach Voniani Tabaka Siata stated.
The team is set to face the top-ranked Tacirua East in their next match.
“Next week we will face our neighbors Tacirua East. We must work on our discipline which was one of our downfalls today. We had two yellow cards from this game, so we must work on our discipline. We would like to acknowledge our supporters, especially our brothers in Australia who are supporting us financially with transport and other logistical needs,” Siata added.
The Nasinu club games were held at the USP ground over the weekend.
