Rokoura says a lot of exciting young talents will be on show starting this Saturday.

‘The commitment has just been amazing, the training we have got 42 members that have been training every day at 6am in the morning and it has been very impressive, for that as well we are not just upskilling the players but also you see in terms of our capacity building, we building our local coaches’.

The teams will battle it out in the next four weekends and the championship will serve as a trial too because after the tournament a 25 member Fiji Pearls squad will be named.
