The Extra Supermarket-sponsored Police team celebrated a decisive 6-1 victory against their rivals in the Vodafone Ratu Sukuna Bowl soccer competition, successfully defending their title at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
The match saw a strong performance from the Police, who took the lead early in the first half due to an own goal by Army goalkeeper Epeli Loaniceva, heading into halftime with a 1-0 advantage. The second half showcased the Police team’s attacking prowess, with Ratu Apenisa Anare and Sailosi Nalaubu adding goals to extend their lead to 3-0. Nalaubu further solidified the Police’s dominance by scoring again just 11 minutes later. The Army managed to break through the Police defense with a goal from Salacieli Dakuna, but it was not enough to change the outcome as the Police scored three additional goals, sealing their commanding victory.
As the competition continues with boxing, netball, and volleyball matches, the Police team can celebrate their triumph and the title resting back with them for another year. The rivalry will resume with a rugby match scheduled for tomorrow at the same venue.
This event highlights not only the competitive spirit between the two forces but also the community engagement through sports, showcasing talent and teamwork. It’s a reminder of how sports can unite people and foster a sense of pride and camaraderie.
In summary, the Police team’s impressive victory reinforces their dominance in the competition, while the ongoing events promote unity, engagement, and healthy competition in the community.
