Namosi’s women’s rugby team is set to vie for a title in the Marama Cup final after a determined semi-final victory against Nasinu over the weekend. This marks Namosi’s return to the final for the third consecutive year, much to the delight of their manager, Etonia Taivoce.
Although Namosi started the season slowly—recording losses against Nasinu and other teams—Taivoce maintained a positive outlook, encouraging his players to remain resilient. “There were a lot of challenges throughout the way; things haven’t been easy for us,” Taivoce reflected. “From the start, I just kept telling the players to be strong. We lost to Nasinu before and we’ve struggled in a few games, but we didn’t back down, and I knew the girls had what it takes to get this far.”
The impressive display of determination by the team was evident in their recent performance, which highlighted both grit and teamwork. Their upcoming match against Suva at the HFC Bank Stadium promises to be another thrilling encounter. Fans can catch the action live on FBC Sports.
Namosi’s journey to the final reflects the broader narrative of resilience and growth within Fijian women’s rugby. Coach Taivoce’s steady encouragement has not only instilled confidence within the team but also inspired hope in their community. As they aim for the championship title, this final serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of women’s sports in Fiji, where dedication and teamwork are paving the way for future successes.
