The Police Blues and Police White teams are investing in emerging talents as they prepare for the Fiji Bitter Savusavu 7s tournament, set to begin tomorrow at Ganilau Park. This three-day competition will feature 32 men’s teams vying for the top prize of $10,000.
Head coach Sale Tubuna emphasized the team’s development strategy, acknowledging challenges such as injuries and work commitments that have affected player availability. He expressed gratitude for the team’s protection during their tour and stated, “We have a new group of young players with talent, and they are going through the process of development. The more games they play, the better and more consistent they will get.”
Both police teams are looking to build on their previous performance, where they reached the cup semi-finals at the recent Fiji Bitter Labasa 7s. Despite not advancing further, their competitiveness has positioned them as formidable contenders for the upcoming event.
The teams will face significant challenges from strong competitors like Devo Baba’s, the reigning champions from Labasa, and formidable local teams such as DXC Army Green. Also in the mix is the BLK Lavidi Brothers, who are not only the defending champions of the Savusavu 7s but also lead the current Fiji Bitter 7s series.
This tournament offers a great platform for these young players to shine and gain invaluable experience, highlighting the ongoing commitment to youth development within the sport. With a spirit of resilience and growth, the Police teams are poised for an exciting weekend ahead.
In summary, the upcoming Fiji Bitter Savusavu 7s presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the Police teams as they embrace young talent and strive for success while competing against some of the best in the region.
