Gerehu Natives

Gerehu Natives senior player Fiza Punda said they were no match to the Bialla Suara, the 2023 Cup winners, losing three of their players to injury, but this time around they set.

Punda said the boys are now in good shape and ready to snatch the title. He said their defense was sloppy and will now make amends to leave no room for mistakes.

And they have worked hard in those areas to come this far.

"It's good to be back in the cup grand final. We discussed the areas we struggled with last year and we are good to go... Thanks to the boys," says Punda.

It was second time lucky for the Bialla boys after missing out in the cup finals in their inaugural year in 2022.

The big Cup decider was a thriller and played in front of an exuberant army of supporters at the Santos National Football stadium.

After a long process getting the shield, bowl, and plate finals out of the way in the early part of the evening, the main event finally got underway at around at 8.30pm last night with a handful of faithful rugby fans waiting on.
