The Solomon Islands Rugby Union Federation (SIRUF) on Monday received a generous donation of 50 rugby balls from GeoGas Solomon Ltd to support the upcoming High School Girls 7s Competition.
The donation was officially handed over to SIRUF Honiara Development Officer, Ms. Sarah Buka, who received the support on behalf of participating schools, witnessed by school reps.
The timely contribution comes as schools in Honiara prepare for the competition, scheduled for 24th โ25th September 2025.
The rugby balls will be distributed among the participating schools, providing much-needed resources for training sessions in the lead-up to game day.
SIRUF Development Officer, Ms. Buka, thanked GeoGas Solomon Ltd for their support: โThis donation will really help the girls in the coming days as they prepare for the competition, and also continue to support them even after the competition ends.โ
GeoGas Solomon Ltd Sales and Marketing Team Leader, Mr. Chris Tony, also shared his remarks:
โWe are happy to support this initiative as it is part of our companyโs commitment to giving back to the community.โ
The High School Girls 7s Competition will feature schools in Honiara and is part of SIRUFโs ongoing efforts to grow the game of rugby in the Solomon Islands, with a strong focus on promoting womenโs participation and development at the grassroots level.
