Minister for Youth and Sports Jese Saukuru has commended the organizers of the Central Community Games for the initiative.

Saukuru says the Fiji National Sports Commission and the Fiji Police Southern Division Community Policing Unit deserve accolades for bringing youths together to showcase their skills, knowledge and understanding of various sports, from netball, touch rugby, futsal soccer to volleyball.

He adds their dedication and commitment to the development of community sports structures have been truly commendable and it is through their passion that the games have been able to be held for the second year.
