Namena Rugby Team

Kubulau Rugby team suited up with gear provided by the Coral Reef Alliance

This year the Kubulau district received a new weapon: the Kubulau Rugby Team. Armed with new jerseys, shorts, socks and equipment bags (provided by the Coral Reef Alliance, an international non-profit dedicated to coral reef conservation), these young Fijians have taken advantage of the opportunity to represent their community in a local tournament.

The Great Sea Reef tournament was created to raise funds for fishing wardens and equipment to address problems of illegal fishing in a neighboring community. The team was very successful in the tournament and essential in creating awareness around local conservation efforts.
