The Police Netball team is fiercely focused on reclaiming the Vodafone Sukuna Bowl title from the Army, as they ramp up preparations for the tournament. Assistant team manager Arieta Samosi reported that the team has been diligently training for the past two weeks, aiming to end the Army’s current dominance in the competition.
“Our preparations are going well. We started two weeks ago with our training, and this morning our girls are in Sigatoka training at the Sigatoka Sand Dunes just to prepare them well for the upcoming Sukuna Bowl,” Samosi stated. The team is determined to achieve one primary objective: bringing the prestigious trophy back to the Police camp.
Despite losing to the Army for several consecutive years, Samosi expressed confidence that this year would mark a change in fortunes. “We have been losing to Army for the past couple of years, but this year we are confident it will be a different story. Ever since we started our trainings, our only focus is to win the title this year and take it away from the Army side,” she emphasized.
Samosi also reached out to the community, encouraging fans and supporters to show their backing for the team. “To our supporters and families around Fiji, we are asking you to turn out in numbers and come support the girls,” she said.
The 2025 Sukuna Bowl is set to commence on the 17th of October in Suva, with additional rugby and soccer events scheduled to take place on the 20th and 21st on Vanua Levu.
As the excitement for the annual clash between the Fiji Police and Army builds, there is a palpable sense of hope among the Police team and their supporters. With strong training and community backing, they aim to establish a new chapter in their rivalry with the Army, making this tournament an event to remember.
