During the opening, Inspector Tafoa gifted netballs to be used in the tournament on behalf of the RAPPP’s Health Wellbeing and Community Engagement project.

The netballers from Rennell-Bellona Province offered traditional gifts in return, making the event very special.

“I am sure we will see some of these talented young netballers playing in a future Pacific Games,” Leading Senior Constable, Tony Roche, of SIAF said.

The tournament continues this week at the Netball courts behind the Multi-Purpose Hall in Honiara. All are welcome to go along and offer support.
