Digicel Fiji has renewed its partnership with the Suva Rugby Union for the Digicel Escott Shield and the Digicel Koroturaga Championship.

CEO Farid Mohammed says this will be their third year of partnership with the Suva Rugby Union.

He says it was unfortunate the competition could not be completed last year because of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic but they are happy to see that the Suva Rugby Union managed to pull through a very exciting 10s championship towards the end of last year.

Mohammed adds they are happy that some of the Suva Rugby players are now with the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua side and this gives Digicel Fiji the confidence that the Suva Rugby Union is delivering on its promises.

Newly elected Suva Rugby Union President Commander Ledua Yaco acknowledged the continuous support of Digicel Fiji.

He says Suva Rugby and Digicel Fiji has developed a formidable winning combination and their track record speaks for itself.

Commander Yaco says this year will be their fourth year of defending the Skipper Cup, however, they are working hard to also add the Farebrother trophy to their closet.

The Suva Rugby Club games will resumes today.
