Mateyawa who is also Cricket Fiji’s Senior Development Officer says they are playing their part in giving back to the sport.

“Cricket is not about your age, you can play cricket in all age, you can see the masters, they been bowling, batting, running between wickets and catching that shows the skills they still have with them”.

14 teams are part of the competition which continues today at Suva’s Albert Park.

There’s two pools of seven teams and the competition will run for two weeks with the final to be played on April 9th.
