A newly merged Rugby League team from Tokarara suburb in Port Moresby is gearing up for the Hohola off-season competition.
Tokarara Nest United as it is called was formed and supported by Papua New Guineas blazer and 400m sprint athlete Nelson Stone and the recent PM’s XIII centre Ila Alu in partnership with Agmark Gurias.
Agmark Gurias as a major sponsor has supported the team through sponsoring them with 22 sets of new jerseys for the competition.
Teams coach and manager Nelson Stone said this was his part in giving back to the community through sports.
“This is how we can help our young ones become like us and one day represent the country like Ila Alu,” he said.
Adding that this is just the beginning and we are looking to breaking more barriers and uniting the community together through this kind of activities and partnership.
“As a former rugby player, I believe we have a lot of potential and talented boys in the community and it is a matter of getting them to realise their potential in sports and become someone in the future,” Stone stressed.
I thanked the Agmark Gurias as our major supporter of the team through Ila Alu to have confidence in me and help me support the boys in the community.
With this great partnership we are looking at doing more for the community through what we have learnt and know through experience in participating in international events.
