“We have faith in Tex and Ice, two guys who have shown week in and week out what it means to play for the Drua, it’s very rare today. I think Ice has played the most 80 minutes for the team and for a lock that’s pretty special.”

He adds that the duo’s contribution to the club will not be forgotten, and they have surely etched their name in the club’s history books.

Also departing the club is Selestino Ravutaumada, Iosefo Masi and Caleb Muntz.
