The Kadavu Rugby Union has made a pivotal advancement in its goal to foster rugby development on the island by engaging in discussions with Fiji Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu. This meeting, which took place yesterday, was aimed at enhancing the collaboration between the Union and the Fiji Police Force.
Commissioner Tudravu praised the Kadavu Rugby Union for its proactive stance in leveraging sport to positively influence the youth. He expressed his commitment to supporting the Rugby Union, underscoring the importance of rugby in steering young people away from illegal activities and toward the creation of stronger, healthier communities.
“Our goal is to see the young people of Kadavu excelling on the rugby pitch and contributing to their communities, rather than being lured into the cycle of illegal activities,” Tudravu remarked. He emphasized that both the Kadavu Rugby Union and the Fiji Police Force are dedicated to ensuring a promising, resilient, and drug-free future for Kadavu.
This partnership heralds a new era for rugby on the island, where the focus extends beyond achieving sporting accolades to include the development of pathways that promote youth flourishing both on and off the field. Additionally, Kadavu is set to make its debut in the Skipper Cup competition this year, further highlighting its commitment to rugby and community development.
Through this collaboration, there is a hopeful outlook for the youth of Kadavu, as they are provided with opportunities to engage in meaningful activities and contribute positively to their local communities.
