The Kadavu Rugby Union has taken a significant step toward enhancing rugby development on the island by engaging in discussions with Fiji Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu. The meeting, held yesterday, focused on strengthening cooperation between the Union and the Fiji Police Force.
Commissioner Tudravu commended the Kadavu Rugby Union for its proactive efforts to use sports as a means to positively influence the youth. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the Rugby Union, highlighting the crucial role that rugby plays in guiding young individuals away from illegal activities and fostering stronger, healthier communities.
“Our objective is to see the young people of Kadavu excel on the rugby field while also contributing meaningfully to their communities, rather than being drawn into a cycle of crime,” Tudravu stated. He noted that the partnership between the Kadavu Rugby Union and the Fiji Police Force is essential for cultivating a promising, resilient, and drug-free future for the island.
This partnership marks a new chapter in rugby for Kadavu, where the focus will not only be on sporting achievements but also on developing pathways that support youth growth both on and off the field. Notably, Kadavu will make its debut in the Skipper Cup competition this year, further underscoring its commitment to rugby and community development.
Through this collaboration, there is a bright outlook for the youth of Kadavu as they gain access to constructive activities and opportunities to make positive contributions to their local communities. This initiative signifies hope and progress for the island’s younger generations, setting the stage for future success in both rugby and civic engagement.
