Waisale Serevi Hails Marist 7s Officials

Maestro Waisale Serevi has rated the 43rd Fiji Bitter Marist 7s as one of the well-organised tourna­ments in the country.

Serevi who is the current head coach for the Russian 7s side was overwhelmed with the efforts put in by members of the Marist Rugby Club in hosting the tour­nament.

“I want to thank the Marist Rug­by Club president Lawrence Ti­karam, all the executives and vol­unteers of the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s,” he said.

“It’s amazing seeing that the spectators are being provided with tents especially in such rainy weather like this where they get to sit and watch the matches comfortably.

“I want to also acknowledge what the Marist Rugby Club has been doing for the past 43 years in trying to create a platform to promote and develop grassroots rugby.

“It’s really overwhelming to see teams from the interior and those as far as from Lakeba in Lau com­ing to compete at this tourna­ment.

“Also, this tournament have in­cluded the under-20 and women’s competition as well which is a great way to develop these play­ers who could make it to the na­tional team.

“This really shows the level of engagement, experience and pop­ularity this tournament has cre­ated over the years.”
