The Suva Golden Oldies Rugby Club will host a tens tournament to raise funds to provide awareness on Prostrate Cancer.

Club President Simon Mason says they are working together with the Ministry of Health and will provide clinic on the day where men can come forward and be tested on the disease.

“Those who cannot afford the test and each test cost $17.50 to $21, so the club pitches in to provide the cost for that. Men don’t have to worry about the cost of the test and all we recommend is you rock up and get tested.”
