Nasinu’s perfect ‘touch’
THE Nasinu Touch Rugby Association had its fourth round of competition at the Assemblies of God High School ground on Saturday as teams are in the hunt to win top honors.
There had been growing interest in the sport in the past weeks and players from the Suva Touch Association were seen at the grounds watching and cheering their friends on.
NTRA president Taniela Tagicakibau said they were impressed with how the competition had been faring so far.
“We initially started with seven teams in our first week,” said Tagicakibau.
“Now we have 29 teams playing in different categories and it is a good sign for Nasinu. We have seen an increase in the skill level during these four weeks and it is good to see the interest in the sport growing. The amount of girls and women coming to take part is a good sign for us as we would like to include more females in the near future.”
