FIJI RUGBY AWARDS NIGHT POSTPONED TO NEW YEAR
The Fiji Rugby Union has made a decision after discussions with Disaster Management Office and considering the adverse weather conditions, to postpone the much anticipated Fiji Rugby Awards Night which was scheduled to be held at the Novotel Suva Lami Bay on Friday, 16th December.
“A lot of work has gone into making the inaugural Fiji Rugby Awards Night a huge success. We were on track to have a wonderful night of celebrating Fiji’s Best in Rugby. Unfortunately, the one thing we cannot control is the weather. It would be a shame to have the Fiji Rugby Awards Night dampened, literally, by the torrential rains we are experiencing right now.
We will host the event now on Saturday, January 14th at the Novotel Entertainment Centre. The program will remain the same and we will spend the next few weeks fine tuning the whole experience. While we are disappointed that we have to wait another month to share this exciting new event for Fiji Rugby Union with you, we must also take heed of the weather warnings in place across the nation.
On behalf of everyone at Fiji Rugby Union, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and wish everyone a safe weekend,” said John O’Connor, CEO Fiji Rugby Union.
The Fiji Rugby Awards Night was set to kick off tomorrow at 6pm. The evening promised to be a spectacular one with Awards being given out for Players of the Year from Primary & Secondary Schools, 7s Male & Female, 15s Male & Female, Coach of the Year, Team of the Year and Rugby Administrator of the Year.
The Vodafone Choice Awards also allows for Vodafone customers to vote for their favourites with the most popular personality winning a Samsung S7 phone as well as being awarded for most votes in the categories of Vodafone Flying Fijians, Vodafone Fiji 7s Team, Telecom Fijiana, Domestic Competition and Best Coach.
The Fiji Rugby Awards Night is proudly supported by Vodafone Fiji Limited, HFC Bank, Novotel Suva Lami Bay, FBC TV, Fiji Sun, Communications Fiji Limited, The Dogfather Sports Bar, Coca Cola Amatil Fiji, Fiji Water and Paradise Beverages.
