“We will have coaches to train them as we prepare for the South Pacific Games next year.

“This is not only the opportunity for players, we also have our sanctioned tournaments next year like the Vulaca for the Central and the Western rally for the West.

“We have the East West challenge and the final one will be the Easter games. So these tournament, we will be using them to select players.

“There is a lot of opportunities for our players to showcase their talents and to be recognised. We want them to use this tournaments.”
