- - Fijian Drua Media

As part of its major investment into Fijian Drua Club and rugby here, Jack’s of Fiji has secured branding rights on all referees and ball kids’ kits for Drua’s home matches in the 2023 Shop N Save Super Rugby season.

The three-year partnershi­p is already in effect, as the match officials and ball kids ran out in the new Jack’s of Fiji branded apparel during the Drua’s home match in the Super Round last Saturday against the Waratahs in Melbourne.

Fijian Drua chief executive officer Mark Evans said: “Jack’s of Fiji have been part of our Club since our inception and are already one of our biggest licensed retailers of official Drua merchandis­e. For them to elevate this into a major sponsorshi­p in just our second year is a huge sign of confidence in our Club and our team. We are thankful to Nikul, Bhavin and the Jack’s of Fiji family and warmly welcome them into our sponsor vuvale. “We look forward to working with Jack’s to bring a number of exciting promotions and campaigns to our fans. They will also be selling official Drua merchandis­e and fan gear at Drua home games, starting this very week as we host the Crusaders at Churchill Park in Lautoka.”

Nikul Khatri, Jack’s of Fiji Senior Executive said, “Jack’s of Fiji is proud to come on board as a major sponsor of the Fijian Drua. In fact we have been working very closely with the Drua over the past 18 months.

“We have developed a fantastic range of supporter merchandis­e which allows every Fijian to buy and show their colours and support for the Drua.

“We have also heeded the call from the Drua to support with ticket sales through our stores, for those that are not able to transact online.

“We are here to support the Drua in any way we can, and to create an unstoppabl­e team and support base in our country that can spur the Drua to glory.”

As part of their sponsorshi­p, Jack’s of Fiji will also award one lucky fan at every home match in Fiji with a generous shopping voucher, the “Jack’s Fan of the Match”.

Ground announcers Drix and Roko from Communicat­ions Fiji Limited will select the most creatively dressed fan for the prize at Fijian Drua home games.

The prize will be handed out to the winner on the ground at fulltime.
