Lomary starts strong in Raluve comp

The Lomary Secondary School girls under 18 team kicked off their Raluve rugby campaign with a dominant performance thumping Nuku Secondary School 64 - 8 at Thompson Park in Navua last Saturday.

Head coach Samu Gucake was pleased with his team’s performance despite fielding in a group of young players.

“It’s the first round and a lot of these girls are playing rugby for the first time,” Gucake said.

“Majority of the girls are aged 17, 16 and a few are 18.”

Gucake revealed that the youngest player in their team is 14-years-old.

“We are looking at developing them for the future,” he said.

“It’s a girls’ team and they are new to rugby.”

The Lomary girls U18 team are hoping to win all their matches.

“We are taking it a step at a time,” Gucake said.

“Most of all, we are targeting to give our best in every game irrespective of the results.”
